LG to create the next Nexus device too?

In addition to Chinese manufacturing conglomerate Huawei, Tech giant LG is also set to make a new Nexus device once again after a year of hiatus, according to reports from the Korean media.

According to reports from eToday, Google engineers recently visited the Korean firm’s headquarters and factories as part of an upcoming collaboration. The new device is codenamed “N000”, which also carries a working name “Nexus 7” (not to be confused with the Asus Nexus 7) and is claimed to be the next Nexus smartphone. Part of the tour included visits to the display factories, R&D labs, and facilities concerning features such as OIS and wireless charging.

LG is no stranger to making Google devices — if these reports are true, we might see a new LG-made Google flagship after the Nexus 4 and 5 in 2012 and 2013. As always, the new Nexus devices are first to sport the newest version of the Android operating system, on top of the regular updates and top-of-the-line hardware.

With LG coming into the picture and Huawei also creating its Nexus device as reported earlier, is it possible that Google might be making two Nexus devices for different market segments? What are your expectations for the next Nexus smartphone?
