 Nexus 4 |
Google Nexus is a line of mobile devices using the Android operating system produced by Google in conjunction with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner. Devices in the Nexus series[1] do not have manufacturer or wireless carrier modifications to Android (such as custom graphical user interfaces), and have an unlockable bootloader[2] to allow further development and end-user modification.[3] Nexus devices are the first Android devices to receive updates to the operating system.[4][5][6] The Galaxy Nexus is one of the few smartphones recommended by the Android Open Source Project for Android software development.[7] As of November 2012[update], the latest devices in the series are the Nexus 4 phone by Google and LG, and the Nexus 10 tablet computer by Google and Samsung.
Smartphones
Nexus One
The Nexus One was manufactured by HTC and released in January 2010 as the first Nexus phone. It was released with Android 2.1 Eclair, and was updated in May 2010 to be the first phone with Android 2.2 Froyo. It was further updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It was announced that Google would cease support for the Nexus One, whose graphics processing unit (GPU; Adreno 200) is poor at rendering the new 2D acceleration engine of the UI in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The Nexus S and newer models have hardware designed to handle the new rendering.
Nexus S
The Nexus S, manufactured by Samsung, was released in December 2010 to coincide with the release of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. In December 2011 it was updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, with most variations later being updatable to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.[8]
Galaxy Nexus
The Galaxy Nexus, manufactured by Samsung, was released in November 2011 (GSM version, US released on Verizon 15 December 2011) to coincide with the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It was upgraded to the latest Android software 4.1 (Jelly Bean) in mid-July 2012.[9] This device is known in Brazil as Galaxy X due to a trademark on the "Nexus" brand.[10]
Nexus 4
The Nexus 4 is the latest smartphone in the Google Nexus line that is manufactured by LG. It is the first Android device using Android's 4.2 Jelly Bean update version. The Nexus 4 has a 4.7" Corning Gorilla Glass 2 touchscreen (1280 x 768 pixel resolution), 1.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad-core processor, 8 MP main camera, 1.3 MP front-camera, and is the first Nexus device to have wireless charging capabilities, along with being the first Nexus smartphone to be offered to consumers at or below the cost to build the device, a technique previously implemented with the release of the Nexus 7 tablet. The price is US$299 for the 8GB and $349 for the 16GB version. T-Mobile USA announced that it would sell the phone from November 14, 2012.

Nexus 7
On June 27, 2012, at Google's I/O 2012 keynote, the company showed the Nexus 7, a 7-inch tablet computer developed with Asus. The tablet, which serves as the first device to run Android 4.1, makes available the content available through Google Play—including e-books, music, and video. Its form-factor and price put it in direct competition with devices such as the Kindle Fire, which runs a forked version of Android.[28][29]
Nexus 10
The Nexus 10, a 10-inch tablet manufactured by Samsung, was revealed in late October 2012 by the EXIF data of photos taken by Google executive, Vic Gundotra,[30] along with the leaks of its manual and a comprehensive series of photos. The leaked photos revealed a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, a 10.1 inch 2560×1600 display, 16 GB or 32 GB of storage, Android 4.2, and a dual-core 1.7 GHz Exynos 5250 processor. The Nexus 10 was expected to be unveiled officially during a Google press event on October 29, 2012, but the event was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy.[31][32]
Other devices
Nexus Q
The Nexus Q was a media-streaming entertainment device that ran Android and integrated with Google Play, to sell at $299 in the United States.
After complaints about a lack of features for the price, the Nexus Q was shelved indefinitely; Google said it needed time to make the product "even better".[33]
