Yesterday we brought you news that the LG Optimus G Nexus would be launching next month, alongside an overhaul of the Optimus branding.
Well here's the first hands-on report of the Optimus G Nexus. The person who claims to have one doesn't work for Google, but says he has one of the test devices that was handed out last week.
"Like a Galaxy Nexus"
"The phone looks surprisingly like the Galaxy Nexus and does not have sharp corners like the LG Optimus we already know," he writes. "It has a silver'ring like the iPhone 3G around the outer edge of the screen which seemed to be similar to the Galaxy Nexus in size but was much better in brightness.
"I couldn't have said if it was larger in the few minutes that I had the phone. Also, it has Nexus written on the back like the Nexus 7 except there is a colour element to it. The 'X' is in four colours. There was also the LG logo on the back.
"Android 4.2 in its current state looked exactly like the 4.1.1 we love. There were no tabs on that build version for home-screens as you suggested from your other tipster. What I was amazed by is how fluid everything seemed to be from exiting apps, switching etc.
"It seems like they've increased the number of transitions and their types. It still had the hodge-podge mess of multiple communications tools: Messenger, GTalk, Voice and SMS."
It's also said to come in two versions, one with a 13-megapixel camera, the other with an 8-megapixel.
We can't verify these specs, so take them with a pinch of salt for now.
Google is said to be opening up the Optimus program to anyone who wants to make devices for it. As long as they meet Google's standards, that is.
