The smartphone, that's a derivative of the Korean manufacturer's
Optimus G device, will feature a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB RAM and running on the updated release of Android v4.2. It is expected to launch in variants of 8 and 16GB with no microSD card support.
The LG Nexus smartphone is also rumoured to come with a 1280×768 True-HD IPS screen and an 8-megapixel camera. It is likely to come with built-in wireless charging and a non-user replaceable battery. There are still no official images of the smartphone anywhere, but considering the rumour mills churning so quickly, it should be out soon.
