Same here, holding on to the hope that there's multiple manufacturers this year. The idea of that 1080p HTC had me salivating.

EDIT: it actually looks much nicer than I first thought http://m.androidcentral.com/more-lg-nexus-pictures-leak-when-it-rains-it-pours

Those look to be pictures of 2 different phones? Or at least 2 different cases.

Whats with the disco ball back?

It looks like reflections from a plastic protective cover?

Meh, looks scrap. (there better be some other Nexus phones

)

_Jimlad_ · 9 Oct 2012 at 10:15

good be some fakes, its rumor mill time. for me i do hope for another make, not overly keen on the designs above. i would hope for a sammy gnex2 or a sony/HTC offering

The "office" looks more interesting than the phone. :p

_Jimlad_ · 9 Oct 2012 at 10:36

to be fair the companies are quite limited in design, but i struggle to think of one company that has constantly produced sweet looking and well built phones, they all have good and bad days it seems

Energizer Bunny · 9 Oct 2012 at 10:38

Never mind the looks. If 16gb if correct for the max size I am offiically 'out'.

If you look really closely... you can see a face!

On the other hand, I'm not so sure on these designs... just hoping they're early prototype models or fake.

mrk · 9 Oct 2012 at 10:41

That's not final design, that's the same dev test build in a dummy case like the S3 was.

TheDean · 9 Oct 2012 at 10:54

Really interested in these as I'm looking to move away from my iPhone4, and this could fit the bill. I would need 32GB minimum mind, either internal or SD card storage.

We shall see.....

bastic · 9 Oct 2012 at 11:02

on photos from Android Police, 'New' Nexus looks almost like current one.Which is a good thing I have to say as I like my Nexus

no one wants it so it will live with me for a while longer

not buying if it looks like those pics, will be the maxx hd

_Jimlad_ · 9 Oct 2012 at 11:46

for the first time in ages i almost feel like saying i dont need whatever is out, my galaxy nexus has been so epic, and when JB came out it just made it like a brand new phone.

Happy to wait and see, but I'm leaning towards the Razr as well...

I have an LG Optimus 7 atm, and previously had an LG Secret. Build quality is pretty mediocre on both. In fairness, I do think Samsung stuff can be pretty bad too. Korean != Japanese/German, tbh

The thing that annoys me about a lot of new phones (I will not stop moaning about this

) is the double insult of a) on-screen buttons taking up screen space, and b) wasted "chin" space below the screen.

This may drive me to the GS3!

Quite like the look of this:

However, look at the bezel at the bottom and top!!!!! Going to be a very big phone if true! Not keen of the back cover though. But overall I like the shape etc. just seems like a bigger version of the GN.

Although as mrk said, it most likely is just a "dummy case" especially the other leak, it is too damn ugly to not be!

Still dreaming of a HTC one nexus though
