Sony, LG and Samsung are making the new Nexus phones?
The Wall Street Journal posted a rumour earlier this year that we would see 5 Nexus devices in 2012. Two of those have been officially unveiled; the Nexus 7 and the Nexus Q. Last week rumours cropped up about Samsung doing a hardware refresh of the Galaxy Nexus - and now it seems that both Sony and LG will be coming with their own Nexus phones as well.
Apparently Japanese mobile provider NTT Docomo had sent their release schedule to +Androidnoodles 速食資訊 - whilst it listed a Sony Xperia Nexus, an LG Optimus Nexus, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus II all set for a Winter 2012 release.
