The Nexus 4 was one of the runaway success stories of last year with thousands of units being quickly snapped up, so much so in-fact that the suppliers struggled to meet the demand. With Google combining high end specifications with a low price they created nothing short of a staggering bargain.
If anybody was going to craft a phone that managed to show off the various virtues of Android it was the operating systems creator, now though it looks like Google will be looking to cash in while the goings good and bring out a sequel.
These rumours come via the International Business Times who have reported that the company responsible for building the Nexus 4, LG, has now halted their production of the phone to make way for a sequel, they go on to report that LG have dropped quite a few hints that point towards the fact that the Nexus 4 merely marks the start of their partnership with Google and that the two companies will go on to develop several Smartphones together.
Many are speculating that whenever the new Nexus comes along, it will arrive to hand in hand with the new version of Android, Key Lime Pie and it will come with an improved 2GHz processor.
It was particularly telling that LG chose not to launch any phones at CES, stating instead that they would be doing a major launch in February - whether or not we will be seeing a new Nexus then remains to be seen, and if one does come along just what model with it be.
If you've been one of the lucky few to get hold of a Nexus 4 then you will have been in the minority, poor stock levels have plagued the otherwise excellent phone and despite the Nexus 4 being released in November, it's very rarely been in stock, perhaps a new Nexus may help Google move on. Whenever the new Nexus is released, it's certain to be one to keep an eye on.
