Google is expected to release its Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update later this month, making performance and stability improvements that will first arrive on the Nexus 4, the Nexus 7, the Nexus 10, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It’s likely to be the last Jelly Bean update Google releases before announcing Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie in May.
Ugh! Just a few weeks after getting my Nexus 4, it looks like LG’s planning to launch a pretty white one. Doesn’t it look beautiful? The company hasn’t announced it yet, so nothing’s guaranteed, but photos of the device have already appeared online. These aren’t just questionable mockups, either — they’re real “hands-on” photos of the device itself.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE, the first Nexus device to offer 4G LTE connectivity, has been discontinued by Verizon Wireless just over a year after it was released. The carrier is no longer offering the device online or in-store, and so the only way to bag one now would be to look for a secondhand model.
Google’s new Nexus 4 has been a hugely popular device since it first made its debut back in November, but the apparent supply issues surrounding the Galaxy Nexus successor have been well documented. Many would-be customers have been unable to snap up the device due to the short supply, while those who have have been forced to wait up to six weeks for their handset to arrive from Google Play.
What isn’t clear is why the Nexus 4 is so hard to get hold of. Some reports have speculated that LG simply cannot produce enough to meet the overwhelming demand, while others claim Google just didn’t order enough in the first place. So what is the truth behind the Nexus 4? Cathy Robin, director of LG France’s Mobile Communication division, has revealed all.
Forget all the gadgets that you’ve seen coming out of CES over the past few days, this is by far the best you’ll see this week. Chad Boughton has taken one of Nintendo’s original Game Boy handhelds and turned it into something useful — a game controller for his Samsung Galaxy Nexus. See it in action in Chad’s demonstration video below.
