With its rumored launch date fast approaching, the highly-anticipated LG Nexus 4 is in the spotlight. It has been the subject of numerous leaks in the past few weeks, and now, even Google's very own Play Store in Canada seems to be exposing it for everyone to see. As a new report on Mobile Syrup points out, a recent change in the Google Play Store in Canada hints that it may be possible to purchase the rumored Nexus 4 from LG online, based on the fact that a new phone icon has been added to the Google Play "devices" category. This isn't definitive proof that it will indeed be sold online, but it's a big clue as to what might happen when the launch even happens in a few days.
