LG and Google have a long backstory as partners, after-all it was LG that teamed up with Mountain View for the first two Nexus smartphones, the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. With the Nexus 6 Google decided to go for something new and brought in Motorola to build the flagship bothering device that is supposed to showcase the best of stock Android.
Time flies as the Nexus 6 is now 8 months old and we are starting to wonder what the next Nexus smartphone will be. While it will not carry the Nexus 7 name, as there is already a tablet with that branding, it seems that LG may come back into the mix and build the handset. Google is reported to be considering numerous manufacturers (including Motorola again), and LG is among them.
Whether the Korean company would consider another Nexus project in the wake of its own flagship success with the G3 remains to be seen, although an anonymous insider claimed that a new Nexus is “under consideration at LG”. We presume the NEXT Nexus smartphone is already deep into development, so we can only expect that Google already has a good idea as to which company it will partner with… watch this space.
