Google may announce next Nexus phone, Android 4.2 on Oct 29

New Delhi: Reports, for a long time, are doing rounds on the Internet about the launch of the next Nexus smartphone by Google. And now Google has confirmed an Android event, scheduled to be held on October 29.

If reports are to be believed, Google will co-host the event with LG where it is likely to introduce the next version of Android – version 4.2, rumoured to be named Key Lime Pie – along with a new phone, presumably a Nexus based on LG's recently announced Optimus G.

The phone is expected to come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 1280 x 768 True-High Definition IPS display, an 8-megapixel camera, and a non-removable battery. It will have 8GB to 16GB of internal storage, and no microSD card slot.
