LG "heavily in discussions" with Google over next Nexus flagship

LG is Korean. In fact, Motorola is the only major US manufacturer of Android phones that I can think of.

Meaning companies that release phones in the US. There are only a few major manufacturers

No HTC please...you saw how HTC crapped on brilliant specs of OneX with non-removable 1800mAh battery...WTF is wrong with them

How is that crapping out? Motorola's Razr also had a not removable battery....that was even smaller, 1760MAh. What is the big deal anyways with having removable batteries?

when i had phones with removable batteries i could always carry a spare in my back pocket when i go out. my phone dies, no problem, takes under five minutes to swap a battery and keep going. it's literally like having double the battery life.

@KingKurogii

i do the same thing with my phones. i have 3 extra batteries for my Droid2 just because it has such a small battery (1390mAh)

@jove39

i agree with you 100%. I was thinking the same thing. HTC has always struggled with battery life and this would have been a good opportunity to change that image. This phone will stuggle in the battery department just like their others.

I can see a moto nexus with the maxx batery inside. But what would be amazing would be too see all android manufactures work together to make one phone. Sammy supply the screen and proccesor moto the battery and calling quality and htc to build a unibody with a great camera. It would be a super phone.

Moto is not that bad and besides that's why we want a Moto Nexus, so Google will be in control of the updates. :P

That could easily be changed with Google's involvement.

Give it a bit more time.

Seems like

I dont think that will be happening. some companies might adopt but they might also be influenced by HTC, Huawei and LG with their phones still keeping the off-screen buttons

i hope you're right.

I wont mind seeing intel atom in next nexus device either (heard rumors of moto working on x86 based android phone)

22. KingKurogiii posted on 26 Feb 2012, 17:07 2

um..no. it better have an OMAP5 or in the best case scenario an Exynos5xxx.

its a nexus so lg wouldnt make the OS. Thats the point of the nexus.

Everyone waiting for a "Motorola Nexus" must have remembered that Motorola developed the DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX. Those are only two of Motorola's recent smartphones. I would welcome Motorola to make the next Nexus.

I hope Google doesn't kill off the Motorola Droid line that includes keyboards.
I hope MAXX battery capacities becomes standard on all Motorola if not standard on all Android hardware.
MAXX2!
