According to BGR, who leaked details of an upcoming Nexus device last month, the phone may be called "Nexus Prime" and be manufactured by Samsung.
The smartphone will be the first to run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which should mix the best aspects of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Android 3.0 Honeycomb and Google TV.
For specs, the device will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core processor (either an OMAP 4460 or brand new 28nm Snapdragon) and have a SuperAMOLED display, a hallmark of Samsung phones.
Furthermore, the device will be the first to move completely to softkeys, removing all physical menu/home/back buttons.
Adding to the "magic" of the new phone is an LTE radio, 1GB RAM, 1080p HD video support and capture, a 1MP front-side camera and a 5MP standard camera with an "advanced 5-megapixel sensor delivering class-leading image quality in addition to superior low-light performance."
Rumored launch? September. Just in time to compete with the anticipated launch of the iPhone 5.
