With Android Ice Cream Sandwich on the horizon, speculation about the Google Nexus S successor is rife. Previously we’d heard chatter that a Motorola Nexus 4G was in the works but now the dial of the rumorometer seems to have swung in Samsung’s direction once again.
A new report claims the next Nexus will be dubbed the Google Nexus Prime and is being built by Samsung just like the Google Nexus S before it but there could be a feast of cool new phones on the way…
Boy Genius Report says the first Google-approved Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone is currently codenamed the Google Nexus Prime and could actually hit the market with that name still attached. As we’ve come to expect with the Nexus line, the Google Nexus Prime would arrive with a fresh stock build of Android Ice Cream Sandwich with no customisations on top.
But Google may go further with the launch of Android Ice Cream Sandwich and unleash a series of officially blessed devices. BGR’s source claims that Google is working with multiple manufacturers on devices set to launch around the same time.
That suggests talk of Google working directly on Ice Cream Sandwich devices with Motorola, HTC and LG could be spot on.
We liked the Google Nexus S and are excited to get our hands on Android Ice Cream Sandwich, so the prospect of a raft of new options is a tasty thought. Hit the comments and let us know what you’re hoping to see from the next Nexus.
