Recent leaks have shown that Google is preparing more than one Nexus phone for this autumn launch. They may include a LG Nexus 4 device, a HTC Nexus 5, as well as a Samsung Galaxy Nexus II. The latter gets a mockup from Bob Freking, inspired by Holo and Nexus Q and pictured below. The Galaxy Nexus 2 has the same screen as the Galaxy Note II, a HD AMOLED one, but no longer pentile. Inside there’s an Exynos quad core processor and other features include an 8 megapixel camera, plus there should also be 2 GB of RAM on board and at least 16 GB of storage. As you can see, the device has an elongated design and its back side reminds me of the first Galaxy Nexus.  I guess that the OS on board is Android 4.2 or something like it, according to leaks.
The diagonal size should be more or less the same 4.6 inch affair and when Bob said the screen is the same as the one of the Galaxy Note II, he probably referred to type, not diagonal. I wouldn’t mind seeing a 5 inch Galaxy Nexus II, if the display was integrated in a more compact way. So, what do you think of this concept? Also, on a side note: Google will unveil its Nexus Phones in October 29th, so be ready!

I’ve been reading rumors all day regarding the 2012 Google Nexus Phones, that may be unveiled soon. It appears that there’s a LG Nexus 4 out there, plus a Sony Nexus, Galaxy Nexus II and even a HTC Nexus 5. The latter fits what Hasan Kaymak has sent me a couple of days ago: his HTC Nexus concept with a Nvidia Tegra 4 CPU inside. We’re dealing here with a handset that packs a 5 inch 1080p Super LCD3 display, just like the HTC J Butterfly announced officially yesterday. HTC Nexus 5 also comes with 2 GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera at the back with LED flash, a 2.1 megapixel cam with LED as well and WiFi, plus Bluetooth 4.0. There’s also NFC and LTE and powering it all up is a 2,550 mAh battery. Wireless charging is available Android Jelly Bean runs the show, maybe in version 4.2.
Beats Audio technology is included and the device comes in 3 colours: white, grey and orange. The smartphone reminds me a bit of the HTC One X, but in a flatter and more rectangular way, if I can say so…

While we’ve got our hands full with iPad Mini speculations and Apple has just confirmed an event for its launch on October 23rd, Bob Freking is already thinking about the iPad 4. Not only thinking, but also doing, since he created a concept of the future generation Apple tablet, that you can see below.
The iPad 4 brings colored cases, borrowing from the flavours of new iPods, plus it keeps the 9.7 inch diagonal size and the widescreen Retina Display idea. It’s powered by the Apple A6 processor from the iPhone 5, making everything work faster and smoother. The cameras have also been upgraded and get the same flash as the iPhone 5 and better 13 megapixel optics. Another thing he improved was the thickness, since the iPad 3 was a bit bulky.
So, as you may have expected the jump in specs isn’t huge, the design is pretty much the same and I doubt Apple would change the design of the main iPad for the years to come. Now, the iPad Mini is an entirely different story, one that will be told starting next Tuesday. Any expectations for that? Buying the product?
