Google's next Android-powered Nexus handset, which first appeared in a set of blurry spy pics earlier this week, has now surfaced in a new set of photos that are as clear and as bright as day. Apparently, Belarusian site Onliner.by managed to acquire a prototype unit of the said device, which is being referred to as the LG E960/Google Nexus 4, and did a bit of testing along with taking a few photos of it. What the site found is that its features will be pretty similar to the LG Optimus G indeed, with a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, 4.7-inch 1280x768 touchscreen display, 2GB RAM, and 8GB internal storage.
What Else You Need To Know
- The LG Nexus 4 could possibly be released running Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie, but the Onliner.by prototype was running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean at press time.
- There is some speculation that the LG Nexus 4 is only one of a total of five different Nexus handsets that Google will release to commemorate Android's 5th year anniversary.
