LG “heavily in discussions” to manufacture next Nexus device
Ramchan Woo, LG’s mobile division head has told CNET that the company is “heavily in discussions” with Google to be their next partner for the Nexus line of devices. There was no mention of what kind of device it would be, however.
There has been a lot of talk since the start of the year of LG possibly creating a “Nexus” TV of sorts, while lately there’s been murmurings of a Nexus tablet.
The good news for Android manufacturers, though, is that despite some negativity surrounding Google’s acquisition of Motorola, that many analysts believed would give Moto special treatment, Google has continued to consider other companies for the Nexus line.
Woo also went on to state that LG will continue to use custom UI skins, saying that the company knows “customer data better than Google.”
