Google IO is coming in a week, and while we’re expecting Google Glass, few unconfirmed Motorola rumors, and the next iteration of Android OS, there’s also the Nexus line.
Let’s have a brief recap; a Nexus is a smartphone made by Google which runs on the latest version of Android, and partly sets the bar higher for Android hardware. They give the opportunities to manufacturers who offer the best hardware as of the moment of creation, and on the software side of things, it will be the first to get the updates for up to 2 more years or so.
HTC did the first with the Nexus One, Samsung followed it up with the Nexus S & the Galaxy Nexus, and LG topped it with the Nexus 4. Asus manufactured the first Nexus tablet, the 7-inch Nexus 7, while Samsung made the 10-inch Nexus 10.
Rumors have been very sharp and hard to argue with. There are recent reports that LG has been tapped by Google once again to manufacture the next Nexus phone – hoping that they can meet the demand this time. The current Nexus 4 is said to be facing a refresh this Google IO, with 4G LTE in tow with 32GB of storage. Also, it could possibly reel in the white version that we never heard of again ever since.
But if we put the decision on you guys, the consumer, who would you pick for the next Nexus? Do you think the current lineup will be succeeded with a Nexus 5, Nexus 8 & Nexus 11?
We have to say that it is entirely possible since phones are now in the 5-inch trend, the iPad Mini is on the 8-inch side looking for competition and there are also reports stating that Samsung is indeed working on a Nexus 11.
If you’d ask me, I’d opt for HTC/Sony or Nokia – since I’m a Nexus 4 owner, I became a fan of high quality builds and great software – only extra thing I’m craving for is a great camera.
What about you? Which manufacturer would satisfy your needs for a Nexus phone or tablet?
Definitely HTC! or Sony
For me, Motorola would be a TERRIBLE idea, as they have a very small presence here, compared to Samsung, Sony or LG.
How are we supposed to buy our Moto nexus if they don’t have any shops here? And what about service centers? Where do we take our phones for fixing?
It’d be great for HTC to make this one this time.
Huawei. The new Nexus Chinaman. You wir rove this phone rong time.
1.) Motorola
2.) Sony
3.) HTC
starmobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cherry mobile
how about Huawei for a change? That would be interesting
for me its motorola / HTC
motorola- acquired by google
HTC – created the first android phone.
I’d like to see Xperia Nexus(Sony) next year.
Motorola or HTC
Wtf ang render, kahit grade 1 kayang gawin yan. Haaaaaay!!
Ikaw na magaling
An HTC/Sony Nexus phone would be of absolute porn to my eyes.
Sony has some very stylish and elegant handsets when it comes to build but they charge very high. It would be cool to see a nexus xperia though.
Regardless I might say its impossible but ZTE should get a chance at this. ZTE might not be a known brand but they have great hardware partnered with an very affordable price.
My top 2 choices would probably be Nokia or Motorola. Nokia would probably be a good choice to make a next Nexus phone. Imagine a Lumia with the second-best camera, killer hardware and Android OS.
Now, Motorola would also be a good choice. Imagine an HD screen, killer hardware and a cool name.
an xperia nexus would be awesome.. as a nexus 4 owner, i crave for a better camera as well….
Apple. Wouldn’t that be great?
iNEXUS
nokia
definitely sony…an xperia nexus would really be nice
I prefer Sony.
But I think Motorola will build the next Nexus since Google already acquire it.
