LG Nexus 3D?: Who will make Google’s next Nexus handset?

In the world of smartphones there are two sides who hotly debate about which phones are better. For obvious reasons I won’t name them both (as it should be evident) however I will mention that the premium sector of one those sides is Google’s Nexus handset, which first became available to the world on January 5th last year (2010 for the time travellers out there).
The Nexus One (as it was so amptly named) was manufactured by Taiwanese handset maker HTC, and was widely regarded as the flagship Android totting handset of it’s time, summed up through its genuine exclusivity.
On December 6th last year Google then announced an update to the current Nexus One, the Nexus S, which was and is manufactured by Korean manufacturer Samsung. This particular handset received rave reviews from multiple websites, and featured curved glass for *face meet phone* comfort.
Based from the above couple of paragraphs, you do have to say that it is obvious that Google is running through a cycle of manufacturers to make it’s generations of flagship smartphone. So who’s next? Well it certainly won’t be HTC or Samsung that’s for sure.

LG Nexus 3(D?)

For me LG is going to probably be the next manufacurer in line to create the Nexus S. This is down to two reasons, first and foremost is that Taylor Wimberly, formerly of Android and Me, posted his farewell post on his blog, and dropped one last major “Android Insider rumor report” by saying this:

LG Nexus 3 with Tegra 3 by Christmas…

Now, i’m not saying that Taylor Wimberly is 100% correct, however this rumour certainly does sound tasty, doesn’t it?. Second of all it just sounds ‘right’ for LG to make the next Nexus, due to their latest Innovation in the Optimus 3D (Nexus 3D, anyone?).

Sony Ericsson Nexus 3

Another key manufacturer who could create the Nexus ’3′ is Sony Ericsson, who’s latest smartphones such as the Arc are wonderful looking, yet feature an operating skin which some people despise. The combination of Arc build quality and stock Android would be a sure win.
Alas though my friends, we will not know who is going to be the next manufacturer for Google’s Nexus, however the two listed above are hot favourites and for me, LG takes the cake.
