Yesterday we received word Motorola, not LG, would land the bid to manufacture the next Google experience smartphone, the third generation Nexus or Nexus 3. Previous reports suggested LG was the front runner, but with little evidence to support the claim, Motorola was drawn into the spotlight. Today, new information has surfaced on the LG P930, a blistering fast smartphone possibly armed with Toshiba’s better-than-Retina display. Is this the Nexus 3?
The story goes as follows. The LG P930 was spotted yesterday, hidden in a XML file, by our friends at Unwired View. The device sports a “P” in the model number, indicating it is a phone rather than a tablet. In addition to the model number, the XML file also contained a rather interesting specification, a 4-inch 720 x 1280 resolution display. The same size and dimensions as the display Toshiba is showing off at SID.
Toshiba confirmed we’d see devices ship with its new 4-inch Retina-killing display late this year, right in line with the expected release date of the Nexus 3. Like the purported Motorola Nexus Droid 4G, the LG P930 would be powered by a Tegra 3 processor, delivering four cores of multi-tasking goodness. Of course, the LG P930 might not be the official Nexus 3, but the smartphone does indeed exist and packs one heck of a display.
You’ve heard the scoop, now it’s time to decide: will LG or Motorola manufacture the Nexus 3?
