Update, 5/13: Fresh intel suggests this won't be at I/O, if it's even still a Nexus. (There's been some talk that whatever this was might eventually come to market with Moto badging instead.) Again, full rumor mode here, so take with a pinch of salt.
Original:
We're hearing that Moto and Google might well be working on a mid-range Nexus device -- i.e. something not intended to replace the Nexus 4, but a device that's just as aggressively-priced.
Some quick hits --
- A Nexus phone built by Motorola and branded as such
- 4.5-inch screen, likely 720p or thereabouts, very little bezel
- Unknown CPU, 1GB of RAM, 5MP camera
- Composite, interchangeable colored back plates (red, purple, white, pink, green, blue)
- May be advertised alongside the Google Watch, with Google Now support
- Price $199 outright with 8GB of storage
Given the timing of all this, I'd guess this thing is a good bet for an appearance at Google I/O, though we have no specific info on that.
Very much unconfirmed rumor territory for the moment, so treat it as such. (There's a reason this is being posted here and not anywhere more official )
