I'm just hoping that Google sells a CDMA/LTE Nexus with the proper frequencies for Verizon. But don't let Verizon touch it.
Will the 2012 Google Nexus phone(s) out-spec the Galaxy S3?

Uh, you need to remember Google has the final say on the Nexus phone. It's not Samsung's call, and if Samsung 'under bids' on purpose so not to top their own S3 device, then they know damn well Google will look towards HTC, Motorola or maybe Sony. Samsung has to bring their A game to the bidding war or they lose.
Furthermore, the S3 will be roughly half a year old by the time the next Nexus comes out, half a year is ANCIENT in the mobile tech world. S3 will be old news hardware, it would be complete blasphemy if Samsung did not step the specs up to a noticeable amount (it doesn't have to be a ton, but simply noticeable).
Finally, if Samsung is chosen yet again, both Google and Sammy know that they have to compete against the iPhone 5. Do you really want to bring your B game when facing the iPhone 5? HELL NO! Google needs a super duper phone (or phones as the rumor goes) to keep the Android buzz going against iPhone. Anything less and Google has failed themselves.
There is simply and absolutely no logical reasoning expecting a future phone top-tier mobile device to be weaker or equal to a 6 month old device. Especially when the competition from both Apple and Microsoft will be heating up stronger than ever this holiday season. Why in the world would either Samsung or Google want to slack off?
Due to the way CDMA tech works (versus GSM), I don't think they can do that, which is why the Verizon Nexus was not an AOSP phone for awhile (but that seems to be remedied for now).
I think there will be 5
1. Galaxy Nexus ( its still a great phone they can still move units)
2 the new nexus
3 nexus 7
4 nexus 10
5 nexus q or Google TV maybe there building it in
And as far is the specs I think it will. Good said something interesting at I/O I believed. They said the nexus is no longer just a reference device but it also represents the best Google can offer. To me that means newest hard wear new at software . Google hopefully can see they will sell more nexi if the specs are up to par. And keep of us from jumping shipped year to the next hot thing

For Google it's not about hardware it about software. They consider hardware only in terms how well it will work with there software which means the latest or future tech may not be the best option at time to work with software they are developing. Google like use trusted hardware they know which would explain the marginal improvement spec wise when a Nexus device comes out. I think everyone is to caught up on spec sheet forget forget about user performance. What I mean by user performance is the actual perception of how the device runs by the user and Google's Nexus phones always perform beautifully even with the marginal or non high end specs. Ultimately what I am saying is putting the latest or super smartphone tech does not necessarily mean a better nexus.
The problem I see with this point is how much control does Google and manufacture have in making of Nexus device? We seen from the past several Nexus devices that Google controls what hardware will go in a device.
Let's say hypothetical the 4th Nexus is going to be by Samsung. Then Google chooses hardware to trump the S3. Does Samsung have say in matter is the question?
What the nexus is to Google is to deliver is most optimized android smartphone that serves as a blueprint for the android comunity to move forward. Google's partners may see the Nexus brand as tool to rival the iphone but Google see their Nexus line as a developer device for the consumer.
I think many have skewed idea of Nexus line being android iPhone killer or some super sayian phone and forget Google's is just trying to give you the best optimize android experience. They are not making a phone to say "look how great my specs are" or "look I have an iPhone killer".

I agree with ADR6425LVW.. Moving on slowly and gradually getting better..
Mind you, they better give it a decent camera this time. Seems like this was a major flaw in the latest model by all accounts.

This.
For the love of all that is sacred. Never understood the reason for the mediocre camera (or the screen for that matter) on the GNex.
I could totally live with a device that had the same internal components of the Galaxy S III but running stock Android. I wouldn't mind seeing a different chassis for the phone though as I was not a huge fan of the physical home button and slippery/fingerprint magnet case .
In would assume since it is based on being a dev phone they figured the people who buy it didn't care about camera.

It has to do with Google's desire to keep the Nexus devices running (close to) stock AOSP. Samsung, HTC, Sony etc. all have closed source camera imaging tech that they either built or more likely licensed from a third party: Kodak, Nokia? I think Sony may own some stuff there.
Anyway, Google either needs to invest in some serious R&D on camera and open-source it, acquire some and open-source it, or agree to include more closed source technology in their Nexus devices. Otherwise their cameras will continue to lag the competition.

Well with Sonys 3 new camera sensors. I would hope that the Next Nexus would have one. A 13 MP camera would be insane, but seeing how that technology isn't coming till January 2013, I don't see that happening.
But the new 8mp chip comes out in october and the new 8mp module which is half the size of the current one comes out in November.
It would be awesome if the rumor of Sony making the next nexus were true. I'd like to see what they can do.

"Okay this is more of a pipe dream than anything, but how awesome would it be if we got one super Nexus phone born from a collaborative effort by Samsung, Moto, Lg, Sony, and HTC rather than 5 different Nexus phones? Im talking a real beast of a phone with Samsung innards (Exynos), Moto radios, screen by Lg, cameras by Sony and all wrapped up in an HTC built shell. Im sure it would never happen but one can always dream"
Next Nexus Franken-Phone? | The Verge Forums
This would be most awesome. Each player getting an equal chunk of the pie instead of fighting each other off.

Except it would look like a NASCAR car on the back, otherwise I'm all for it.

I would guess that they come out just about the same. That said, I would imagine there is a bump somewhere just because they are probably already revamping their manufacturing lines for the next go around now that the S3 is out.
It will never be these specs.. Purchase the current Galaxy S3 or upcoming Galaxy Note 2 if you want these spec

It was shown months ahead as an Asus branded memo tab, then rumored to have been redesigned as nexus tab. In short.
LG Optimus G is top Android dog now. It even beats the new iPad on graphics. Uses the new Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, Adreno 320, and has 2GB of RAM.
It should be available in Korea shortly. Some sites are reporting that it will be the new Nexus labelled device.
