(Rumor) Google Nexus Prime Smartphone, Android v2.4/v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Coming this October
A Korean Website – Electronic Times, reported that Google would be releasing the next version of its flagship Nexus Smartphone – The Nexus Prime, this October.
According to the reports, Samsung has been chosen again for manufacturing this device, it would run on Google’s latest operating system – Android v2.4/v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (HTC Ruby is also supposed to run the same OS). Along with that, the phone would sport a really high resolution 720p (1280 x 768) display.
Like Motorola Atrix 4G, it would be a gigantic Smartphone with a massive 4.5-inch touchscreen display, that’s not all, if you thought that 1.2GHz dual-core processors were the best companies had, Google Nexus Prime has more to offer – a 1.5GHz dual-core processor.
Since last 2 years, most of the rumors have turned into reality, though I am seriously skeptical about this one. Google had chosen Samsung to manufacture the second generation of Nexus Smartphone, and I don’t think it turned out to be a good decision. Samsung had launched Samsung Galaxy S which seemed a more “value for money” Smartphone over Nexus S and currently Samsung is up to releasing Samsung Galaxy SII a.k.a. Samsung Attain in United States.
Google recently purchased Motorola Mobility, if they were not looking for a Smartphone hardware manufacturer, why did they spend $12.5 billion for it. I am 90% sure that next Nexus Smartphone would come from the Barracks of Motorola and not Samsung. We’d have to wait for Google to throw some light over this topic.
