5 Nexus Devices?

Remember when the rumors were floating around about Google releasing '5' Nexus devices by the end of the year? I'm still wondering if these rumors are true.
1. Nexus 7
2. Nexus Q
3. Nexus 10
4. Nexus 4
5. ?
Google has released two tablets, a media device, and one phone. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2nd Nexus phone? What about the whole 5" HTC Nexus phabet that was rumored? Is there one last device to come out by years end?

There will be no extra device to come out. The 5th device is the new version of the Nexus 7 they announced.

I doubt they will muddy the waters with another mobile device esp a phone, the Nexus 4 has a 4.7inch screen releasing a 5inch phone would be stupid business sense, for a mobile phone it makes much better sense to just have one, it helps the developers and it helps the consumer, as apps can be created and installed knowing that they will always work.
If they were to release another device it would be something different, not a phone not a tablet, perhaps a 'Nexus TV' (a set top box like a Google TV).

Maybe the nexus TV could be a proper smart TV made in collaboration with LG, with android on board... that would be nice

Still holding out for a CDMA nexus 4. Can't leave sprint hanging. We didn't cripple the nexus s or galaxy nexus..... well maybe the tethering. But we supported wallet!! Lol

In all honesty, it was Verizon that gave CDMA Galaxy Nexus a bad name.

I highly doubt they will release 5

Buy nexus 4 or wait for the new google X phone?

Been trying to decide if i want to get the new nexus 4 ( LOOKS AMAZING!) or wait for the X phone that was just announced. I've heard some bad things about the nexus 4 which is making me hesitant. What are your thoughts? I'M still rocking the G2 from way back so im pretty due for a new phone!

Guess it depends on how long you want to wait for the x phone. Its gonna be awhile.

One exists, the other is a rumor.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

It was more of a rumor than an announcement, and i wouldn't expect it to come out any time soon.

Like I'll tell anyone, if you keep on waiting for the next big thing, you'll wait forever.
The answer is simple by answering this question. Does the desire for the nexus 4 outweigh the usefulness of your current phone?
For me, it was a no-brainer. I was not happy with my vivid stock, I did not care for the bugginess (<--- is that even a word?) of the available Roms, but loved aosp.
If you feel you'll be happy with your current phone, then wait until a phone comes out that you must have.

The phone probably won't be out till summer most likely. Then the next nexus will be around the corner. Great hardware or not I don't know if I'd even get one if it doesn't have direct from Google software updates. Don't care if its a different branch than the nexus line... It has to be straight from Google or its no better or worse than the galaxy line from Samsung or the one series from HTC.

Live in the moment. When the next phone comes out, will your next thread be. Get the moto X or the next? Just get it. But then again, good luck trying to get one because they're all sold out

Considering you are using a G2, I would say its time for an upgrade. Get the new Nexus 4.

Don't play the waiting game, just get the N4 b/c the X hasn't been officially announced by Google/Moto.

well put. hang in there, am in the same zone too. Google+Motorola = best of both worlds. As you said your G2 is rocking! So is my X10 thanks to XDA ! specially scritch007:thumbup:
from xda-dev app on x10i

Maybe the x will be like this
NEXUS 4 X (100 gigs storage, slightly better useless something) = $580
and you will say, dudes, I been waiting 3 years and you raise the price for this and add some gigs ?

Thats what im thinking. Ive been babying my G2 so its lasted me a lot longer than others ( the whole loose hinge shenanigans). My phone is still serving its purpose but at the same time i know it wont last that much longer. N4 seems like an awesome device with a few quirks. For those that have the N4 can you tell me what you both like AND dislike about the phone. Want to start weighing the pros and cons.

I love absolutely everything about the phone. Only thing I don't like is the limit on memory (I have the 16GB). It'st he first phone I've owned that has yet to experience any lag or slowdown whatsoever.

I would personally go for Nexus 4 because
1. The x phone is just a rumor and hasn't even been announced
2. If it is going to be sold by Motorola who makes money off the hardware, then the x phone will be more expensive than Nexus 4 by Google who makes money off by software (which explains the price of Nexus 4)

Go to any forum of any device and you will always read a lot of "bad things". There is no perfect phone and people tend to exaggerate their problems. Ultimately, it is you who has to decide if this is the right phone for you.
Oh, and don't play the waiting game. When the new phone arrives, there will be rumours of the next, better one. What then?

Technology is always changing and improving but that doesn't necessarily mean that the improvements will be relevant for your needs.

Nexus X is already out

Nexus 4 production stopped?

I just read that the nexus 4's production has been stopped by lg because they are working on a new nexus device. Has anyone heard anything about this?

if you read it online than most likely it's true...

It's true

The nexus device is supposed to be only 1 device supported by Google. Not create a whole line of nexus products to get rich off of, way to screw over the people who waited desperately for this phone and/or stuck in shipping limbo

This will be the single most outrageous thing I've ever read about a smart phone. The phone sells for two hours in total over like 4 months and they kill it for a new phone. They should have just haulted the N4 altogether.

I highly doubt that is true since so many people are still waiting to buy it why would you stop selling it? And T-Mobile is said to start carrying it at every location.

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.

They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.

Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.

Nahh... Not gonna happen. LG just can't keep up that's all..

I was more interested in the get rich quick penny stock article. Or maybe the other sensationalistic crap on that site. Too bad I can't get back the two minutes I wasted there...shame shame...
Sent from my Nexus 7

Uhm, this is essentially the content of the article: "rumours have it that the company seized the production of the smartphone to focus on the development of its future offerings", the rest is just a speculation.
If "rumours have it" == "it's true" then yeah, we will see the new nexus phone next month, sure.

Lol. Just lol.

LG called me directly,saying that Nexus 4 production is stopped cause all the people working at Lg's production lines is currently at the Bahamas,on the beach...

Nexus program?

I'm sure everyone remembers this rumor from about six months ago. Where manufacturers could develop a nexus phone as long as it meet the requirements. Even though the s4 isn't labeled a nexus it meets the other requirements. Do you think that other manufacturers will follow suit and offer pure Google phones? I wouldn't mind seeing a dev HTC one.

If Nokia ever jumped the Microsoft bandwagon and considered making phones on Android + joined the Nexus program, wouldn't that be the most amazing thing now.

What you mean by other requirements? There are no requirements I know of. Nexus is a brand of products which are built for Google by OEMs as per Google's specification and requirement. S4 isn't built the way Google wants e.g it had hardware buttons and also carries menu button Google let go 2 years back.
This isn't the first time such a thing had happened. 2 years back Google gave Samsung tab to IO attendees with AOSP on it. About a year back Google did an exercise of trying to support Xperia S in AOSP headed by JBQ himself. The only difference is that this is the first time Google is selling such a device via Play Store.

[Q] Next Nexus

As I continue to read new about the upcoming google device, I cannot help but wonder if it will manifest. Many people are pointing to a Motorola x phone. However, I have waited my time for this new device and more importantly a newer version of Android OS. I would like to know all of your opinions on this topic. I really want a Nexus 5 made by HTC, but that is just a wish. Please let me know what you believe will happen along with your dream phone.
Enjoy,
JCarrot

Personally I would like to see a Sony Nexus 5. Look at the build quality of the Xperia Z Ultra, the big-a** phone. It looks great and is thin as all hell. Their too invested into the Xperia name to do so. And I'm not sure how Google feels about Phablets but I'd like to see a Nexus Phablet. A 5.5-6 inch screen running pure Android with a almost 2GHz processor, smoothly flowing thanks to (wait for it...) 3(!) GB of RAM. No, no, no I mean 2GB of RAM. I would like to see a HTC Nexus though.
How about an Apple made Nexus?...

Key Lime Pie will probably be released this fall. Nobody knows yet what the next Nexus device will be, but I expect that Google will make an official statement regarding the next Nexus phone only when Key Lime Pie is actually released.

If you guys just put two and two together.... in december when they have historically released their phones for the past like 3 or 4 years in a row.... we will probably see a 4.7-5inch phone made by Motorola which google just acquired, with either the sapdragon 600 or the samsung exnos 5 octa ... and at least 2 gb of ram.. Its not hard to put some pieces together.
and No you will NOT get your sdcard slot.

Past experience days Google gives 2 years per OEM to build Nexus devices.
HTC - G1, Nexus One
Samsung - Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus
LG - Nexus 4
Granted G1 was not called a nexus device but it did come with stock Android and close collaboration between Google and HTC.
