LG will finally get its own Nexus smartphone based on its recently unveiled flagship Optimus G, CNET has learned.
The phone will be announced at the end of the month, according to a person briefed on the matter. While it will run some of the same specifications as the Optimus G, it will be modified to fit into the Nexus program. Google and LG haven't yet come up with a name for the product.
A Nexus phone could do wonders for LG's reputation, particularly in the U.S., where the company has struggled to make a name for itself with its smartphones. The Nexus devices are used to showcase the latest version of Android, in this case Android 4.2, and often generate buzz in the Android community for the device and handset manufacturer.
