The Galaxy Nexus is almost a year old which makes sense to think that Google could be close to announcing their next-gen Nexus handset. As to who the manufacturer of the next Nexus handset is remains to be seen, although rumors have suggested that there could be multiple manufacturers this time round. We’ll be taking that with a grain of salt for now, but according to a fresh set of rumors, it seems that we can expect the next Nexus to be announced within the next 30 days.
This is via Android and Me’s sources who also suggested that Google’s Andy Rubin will be the one making the announcement which will be taking place at AllThingsD: Dive Into Mobile that will be held from the 29th to 30th October. No word on the specifications of the device yet, but the rumor has indicated that the device will be launched with the latest build of Android Jelly Bean at version 4.2. In any case we’ll approach this with skepticism for now but if you were planning to get the next-gen Nexus as your next handset, be sure to stay tuned for more updates!
