LG isn’t exactly my first… second… or third choice when it comes to favorite smartphone manufacturers but they’re really pushing the press these days — especially with the rumored Optimus G Nexus. Color me unimpressed so far, but one thing I will give LG credit for is their latest Optimus G product movie.

We’ve been hearing for a bit now that Google was going to revamp their Nexus program and that we would soon be seeing multiple Nexus devices being manufactured by various OEMs. According to Taylor Wimberly over at Android and Me, those whispers are going to turn to reality very soon, and LG will be the first up to bat.

Today brought about rumors of three new Nexus devices thanks to an earlier report showing specs of a Samsung device, code named GT-I9260, and later, a Docomo document listing three new mysterious Nexus devices: one from LG, Sony, and Samsung.

Thanks to Apple, every manufacturer now feels like they need their own voice assistant and so begins the borderline mental illness campaign of conversing with your phone. Samsung announced their own version S-Voice, which is launching with the new Samsung Galaxy S III in a couple of days. Now, LG has decided to jump on the voice wagon by announcing their own voice assistant service Quick Voice.

LG has made a wise decision to halt all tablet development in favor of focusing on its smartphones. LG is already a company lagging behind in the mobile wars, and frankly, releasing any Android tablet other than the Nexus 7 at this point, is like tossing it straight into the recycling bin.
