French national newspaper Le Figaro is reporting that Google and LG will debut the next Nexus smartphone, dubbed "Nexus 4," later this month. According to the paper, the device will make its global debut on Oct. 29, before coming to France on the Vodafone-owned SFR network in December. If true, the Oct. 29 date could point to an unveiling at Dive Into Mobile conference, as has been previously rumored.
The wording ofLe Figaro'sarticle suggests a product launch alongside the announcement on Oct. 29. If true, this would make it the first Nexus smartphone to become available immediately upon announcement since the original Nexus One. This would obviously point to the Nexus 4 being launched primarily via the Google Play devices store. Of course, it's also possible Le Fig just got its wires crossed, and that Oct. 29 is only the announcement date.
It's the second time we've heard the "Nexus 4" name today -- this morning the name appeared in a leaked photo from the Carphone Warehouse's inventory system.
So it certainly looks like the next Nexus launch isn't far off. Stick with Android Central for all the details as they emerge.
