"Currently, the consumer electronics arm of LG Group is working with Internet-giant Google to make another Nexus-branded Google Android smartphone. LG is seeking to expand its partnership in TVs and future businesses, such as Google Glass" - Korea Times May 1, 2013

It's been six months since the LG Optimus G was released and it seems we have already come across its successor. The Optimus G2, as it is being called, was spotted getting its Bluetooth certification at the Bluetooth SIG and also in AnTuTu benchmark scores.
The benchmark scores reveal three variants of the G2, the F320K, F320L and F340L. The F320K has a 1.5GHz processor and runs on Android 4.1.2. The other two run on a 2GHz processor, which is most likely the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 as it is the only processor that can clock that high as of now. The last two models run on Android 4.2.2 instead. GSMarena.com May 2, 2013

hmmm I can't say you can take rumours as confirmed, but I would love a HTC Nexus.

The Nexus line of devices have always been my favorite (and are great as a developer). Definitely looking forward to the next one.

LG is making it. Probably based on the Optimus G 2 (Nexus 4 was based on the Optimus). Motorola will be building the next Nexus after that.

The Optimus G 2 is coming in Q3 to all major carriers. There are three versions of the phone being released.

Snapdragon 800 @ 2.0Ghz (Only known chip able to produce benchmarks left on Antutu).

I'm not gonna mind if LG make it again because I quite like the build quality of the N4. But they better not screw up production volumes again. The N4 always seems to be constantly sold out.

Rumor: Sprint Optimus G2 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU spotted at Bluetooth SIG

32GB Sprint CDMA LG phone apparently in the works... better specs on this than any of the stuff they announced this spring and doesn't seem to be a Samsung clone. No SD support... could that be because it's stock? Is this a refresh on the Nexus 4 for Sprint or a sneak peak at the Nexus 5 this fall? Or none of the above....

That seems unlikely expecially the microsd... Google calls the shots and they apparently want you focusing on the cloud not removable storage...

It's actually because of the SD card technology being old, slow and buggy. That's why Samsung and others that include them have so many issues with them. Their solution was increased focus on the cloud, however in my opinion they could have accomplished better by emphasizing more internal storage. But yeah, I'd agree 99% chance we never see SD storage in another nexus phone or tablet again.

I've never had a problem with my sd cards with Samsung devices? If the nexus 5 got an SD card slot it'd definitely get more sales. But I do agree we will probably never see that on a nexus device

And since the update there's been virtually no lag.

My next phone will be the next Nexus that's available on Verizon. I love my 32gb, no SD card, Amoled screen, 3800 mAh LTE beast.

Here, here. Ditto. Sprint, CDMA, LTE. Lovin' that 3800 mAh battery!

I don't think Google will leave CDMA out the next time around. It's all about demographics. They lost out on a lot of customers with the strictly GSM version. I know CDMA is US only, but that's still a lot of people between VZ and Sprint.

No for gods sake no, I would not sacrifice build quality for legacy features.
