[Q] Will this be this be Google's 'only' Nexus smartphone, for now?

Since there were news reports earlier this year that Google wanted to produce multiple Nexus devices/phones. Not sure if they meant the Nexus tablets, by Asus and Samsung instead. Someone, anyone? :good:

I think the rumours were to different devices but they never said if it was other phones or tablets etc. I think LG will be the only nexus phone brand this year.

I am going to say the next nexus phone will come out on about a year.

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

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

I highly doubt they will release 5

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.

That the most retarded site and article i ever read... It was so bad My PC cleared its own History and Cookies after loading the site.

well... nothing's really happened for a month outside of the US...

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...

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.

BS, I don't work for LG and the only thing I can confirm to be true is that, I love my nexus 4 more than any of my previous android phones (Hero, Desire HD, Sensation, Evo 3D, One X)......

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 they made a stock HTC One..... oh man, that might just make me jump from the Nexus o_0

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] Should I sell my Nexus 4?

I've been seeing all these rumours about the Motorola X. It looks amazing, and a lot of websites are saying it will undercut the Nexus 4 in price. Should I sell my nexus 4 before it comes out and buy the X when it does come out? Really not sure what to do

if i wait till the X has come out will i still be able to sell the nexus 4 for the same price as i would of been able to before it came out?

It doesn't look like a serious upgrade from a nexus 4. The differences aren't huge so it would probably be best to wait. Also it's not a nexus device so you lose a lot of the good modding that you get on the 4 and probably has a locked bootloader

Yup, but noted who knows what the price might be on that one. Only the Nexus 4 was a cheap nexus phone. The previous ones were all full price phones. So we have to see what direction Google wants to head in

Probably. Sounds like you just want something new. The nexus 4 is on par with the top tier phones out right now (HTC One, GS4) as far as performance goes. My only gripe with the N4 is the camera, but its not enough for me to ditch it yet. We just use my wife's GS3 or our DSLR for that.
The X is nice, but I don't see its release causing the value of the N4 to drop to much. Only another Nexus device will affect its value.

isnt the motorola x the 3 new droids that were announced? or are they different?

Yes sell it! If you want to downgrade. I don't think Google will sell the Nexus 5 for that much higher than the Nexus 4. Maybe 30 to 60 dollars more. I mean look at the Nexus 7, that thing upgraded like hell and the price only went up 30 dollars.

So I'm wrong and you're ignorant, Google hasn't always been using this, just the new devices
see
Nexus 10=10"
Nexus 4=4"
Nexus 7=7"
Nexus 5=5"
now the Nexus 7 has a new version, called Nexus 7 II, not Nexus 8 (following your thought), and so will Nexus 10 (Nexus 10 II), if Nexus 4 gets a new version too, it probably will be called Nexus 4 II, and not Nexus 5, and this discussion is pointless since Nexus 5 is just a rumor someone random started

Don't sell your Nexus 4 now. Nobody has even seen the specs for the x-phone yet and according to the rumors the specs of the X-phone will probably be very similar to Nexus 4.
Wait for the Nexus 5.

But the current nexus 4 is closer to 5 inches. So why didn't they call it the nexus 5? Well I'll tell you b/c the nexus 4 is the 4th generation of the nexus phone.
The naming for the tablets is correct and if they do decide to make a 5" nexus phone next its likely they call it the nexus 5. Google pretty much backed themselves in to a corner with the phone naming. Seeing as they will not be able to call the 7th gen nexus phone the nexus 7.
So I agree with you and the naming, just not the nexus 4 naming.

Yeah I've read its not gonna be crazy just a phone that they want to make sure its gonna work perfrectly. The specs did sound similar to the n4. But again that's just rumors.
There's no reason to sell the phone for one that its not even a year old and it will still get official updates for like another 3 years
