There will be three Google Edition phones and one Motorola X phone in 2013 as per rumors

There will be three Google Edition phones this year and we already know about two of them - the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One, according to Android Authority sources. The third one is expected to be the Sony Xperia Z, and it will be the last high-end stock Android phone for the year.

Now, these are all expected to be sold on the Google Play store. Regular Nexus devices seem to be a separate development though and are not included in this count.

There is one more possible fact that we think is a good indication that the third Google Edition phone will not be made by another company like say LG. That fact is simple - LG is already making the Nexus 4 phone, so it already has a high-end device running stock Android.

In addition to the Google Edition phone information, the same source has also claimed knowledge on the Motorola X situation saying there will be only one Motorola X phone rather than a whole family of X-branded devices. Earlier, Motorola chief executive Dennis Woodside also referred to the Motorola X as a single device.
