If until now we have read everything on the new Galaxy S3, we can safely continue to speculate on the future of the Google Phone. The Nexus range is from two years given to the first manufacturer in the world of Android devices: Samsung. A company that thanks to the collaboration with Google is distinct and has managed to create the last two nexus: Nexus, Nexus S and Galaxy. Products of unquestionable quality that could see a successor in Q4 2012. While the arrival of a new Nexus is certainly risky assumption given that it is annually presented one every 11 months or so, on the other continue to entrust the production of the Samsung Google Phone might be too trivial.
A new Samsung Nexus could certainly be nice but would tie almost Google and Samsung that you would find to work for three years in a row of four total since it first came out HTC Nexus. By analyzing the market situation, the producers at the moment are few convincing. Not so much because LG, Motorola, HTC and other non-terminals are capable of producing complete and competitive, but rather because none of the manufacturers named have the real capacity to create, build, model and optimize a mobile device, completely at home. From hardware, to components, through the processor and software, currently only Samsung would seem capable of satisfying the demand for Google to create a device designed and conceived to belong to the Nexus line.
The only question that remains Motorola, unfortunately, did not appear to even minimally acquisition helped Google and wonder if they ever really will benefit. Definitely a MotoNexus would be interesting, especially considering the high capacity battery that the manufacturer has included in the RAZR range. The acquisition is not yet completed and this 2012 seems impossible to think of a Motorola logo Nexus also saw Google's words belie this road.
HTC was the first company to believe in Android, but for one reason or another no longer was chosen as a partner of Google. LG has remained out of the game and still do not believe can really enter into a partnership with the great realistic G.
So there is still only Samsung with the technical skills and the ability to create a suitable device to the whims of Google. In such a scenario, in addition to reinforcing the link Samsung / Google, it's easy to assume that the next Nexus will be an evolution of the Galaxy S3 with Quad Core, maybe even next-generation TI OMAP. Hypothesis, or rather at the time speculations that are also possible.
Actually, we prefer to consider another point of view. At present, seeing the releases and news that may arrive in this 2012, the Galaxy Nexus seems to be able to provide many more months of development with various developers, real recipients of the Google Phone. Having a very similar hardware to the new expectations and arrive at the beginning of 2012, it is also possible to consider the possibility that an upcoming Google Phone to "jump" a few months and maybe get in 2013. Galaxy Nexus with its HD display, Dual Core processor and full support for ICS and the next Jelly Bean, could very well still perfectly fulfill the task of phone development platform Android, postponing the need to change hardware to the next year, maybe with processors Cortex A15 newly created or Quad Core with more sophisticated production processes.
Speculation, assumptions that leave many doors open.
