The link's dead, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to release a Nexus Camera. So still 3 other Nexus devices to go, supposedly.

They just announced the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Camera...

I think it was just the Samsung galaxy Camera.

i heard they're releasing a Galaxy Nexus 2 in november

They are due to release a new phone (the 11-month cycle thing), so I hope so.

 

[trophynuts]

it's a shame if they're going to release another new G Nex....i feel like most people are just now really getting acquainted to the one we have now. I won't be buying another Nexus device anytime soon.

Yeah, I couldn't agree with that sentiment more.

I am still quite satisfied with my GNex, almost 9 months later, and while I still am interested to hear what is coming out soon, haven't run out and bought something yet. I just hope to be extremely surprised and see the next Nexus on VZW again.

 

[in2uition]

Nexus Camera? While I think that's laughable, it's also a possibility...just not this year.

I'm speculating we'll see two phones, one with a removable battery and one without.

I'm sticking with my GNex for awhile, however my mind is set on a Motorola Nexus as my next phone.

I'll evaluate it once its out. Although I've found the signal strength "acceptable" on my GN, it is by no means good. If they get the fixed, I'd really be tempted depending on what the specs are...

I heard that there will be more than one Nexus phone this winter. So it wont just be Samsung that releases a pure stock android phone. I think that is great news going forward if true.

Google has released a new Nexus once a year for the last 3 years. Not sure why it'd be a shame, or an "if"

It's a pretty normal release cycle. Same as Apple's.

 

[AntimonyER]

While I see trophy's point, the phone really came into its own with Jelly Bean, and is in no way ready to be trumped, I can't really see anything bad with innovation making a perfectly awesome phone obsolete too early. Ok scratch that, its REALLY bad on my wallet

Found this:

Samsung Announces the Galaxy Camera running Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean"

 

[jhawkkw]

Given yesterday's rumor about the xperia t being used as a potential nexus model, does anyone have any experience with Sony androids that can comment on build quality, radio quality, etc? Don't care about their ui overlay because if it is a nexus it will be stock.

Samsung Galaxy Camera looks great - I'll be getting one. What's laughable about it? I actually think that moving Android to other uses (like running camera software for example, which usually sucks) will be good for the whole ecosystem. A Nexus Camera? Why not. Now how about a Nexus Fridge that knows what it contains by NFC does the shopping when I run out of milk? That sort of thing has got to be the future of Android, and shows the flexibility of the OS and the uses it could be put to.

It's laughable because it's would be a bit odd seeing Google venture into that space this year. However I said it's possible (in the future) because Google might revamp Picasa and have better integration into Google Play. A Nexus Fridge? lol I can see core components of Android OS going into everyday devices, but I don't see an entire fridge being sold as a developer device.

 

[trophynuts]

yeah i understand it's the natural release cycle that the Nexus line has had for a while. I really don't think VZW will get another one.

 

[ALurker]

I think the current rumor is that there will be one nexus phone each from Sony, LG and Samsung. My guess is that Verizon doesn't get one this time but pretty much all the other providers do.

Seriously hoping verizon gets one or that the droid razr hd maxx gets its bootloader unlocked by the developing community.

There isn't much to upgrade on the gnex as it is though. They can'y upgrade the screen making it better than the GS3, they can't make battery bigger or better. Another carrier could make something new, but really the only things to change in the Gnex are the SoC, which would likely just be the S4 8960, as all other phones in the USA have had at least, and add a micro sd card slot if we are lucky. Other manufacturers might bring a new different take on the gnex though, and better signal reception would be nice, but samsung is clearly not capable of decent reception.
