Report: LG building the upcoming Nexus 5

According to a new report, LG has agreed to build the upcoming Nexus 5, marking the second Google phone they have created.

The company released the Nexus 4 late last year, a $300 reference device running high-end specs and the latest version of vanilla Android.



Additionally, the report says LG wants to work closer with Google on existing partnerships and projects such as Google TV and moving forward, Google Glass.

LG is the third largest smartphone maker behind Samsung and Apple, with 4.8 percent of the global market.

The device is expected for the holidays this year.

  I have yet to see a LG phone that made me want to buy it. So I hope they change that. If it dose not have a sim card or a concept like it then it is a no deal for me.
