We’ve already heard about it in rumors and leaks, the mysterious Samsung i9260, the model name for what’s expected to become the Samsung Galaxy Nexus II. The model first appeared in a User Agent Profile, but then made a second appearance along with an almost full spec list, and now images taken on the i9260, the alleged second-gen Nexus surfaced on Picasa.
Those photos however are nothing to be proud of. Our guess is that they are taken with a very early prototype - if they are not fake - and we wouldn’t use them to judge about the camera (it’d be a disaster!). What they hopefully serve well with, though, is indicate that there is work being done on the next G Nexus and it’s on the way. And that’s great news as the original Nexus was one of the best phones we’ve used.
Currently, we expect the i9260 to appear as one of multiple Nexus smartphones, marking a new step in the Nexus family where Google previously only allowed one handset a year. LG, Sony and now HTC all said to be making their own version of the Nexus with the sole aim to showcase the best of Android supposedly on a clean, vanilla build with no custom skins.
