Google Files New Media Player with FCC – Could It Be the Next Nexus Q?

We reported last week on the fate of the Nexus Q. The excellent Google Play Music update with all of its streaming content isn’t compatible with the Nexus Q device, effectively making it useless as a media (or at least music) streaming orb and leaving it essentially broken. The Q was introduced at last year’s Google I/O and was designed to allow you to stream content from your phone or tablet to your TV. After  the device failed to garner much interest from consumers and had some initial problems, Google postponed Read more

Nexus Q Won’t Get New Version of Google Play Music

The poor Nexus Q hasn’t been getting much love from Google lately, and may never get any going forward. We recently reported that it wouldn’t get any mention at Google I/O, and now it’s being denied the latest update to Google Play Music and its “All Access” music streaming services. Phandroid received confirmation from a Google liason named Paul that the Nexus Q would not be getting the upgrade: Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. As you noticed, the latest version of Google Play Music isn’t compatible with Read more

A White Nexus 4 Video Appears

A sparkly, white Nexus 4 model was spotted in the wild again. Yesterday’s sighting in the Philippines definitely got us excited. Now the elusive white device has shown up at a conference in Dubai and it was caught on video this time! It’s got a sort of opalescent, reflecting white back, but the front is still black (which is probably disappointing for some folks, but it still looks quite nice). Otherwise it appears to be the same as the current Nexus 4 specs wise, and it was running an older version of Android Read more

White Nexus 4 spotted yet again

While we’re still no closer to official availability of the device, but the Nexus 4 in white has yet again popped up. We first caught a glimpse of the device back in late January, and not much has changed since then. Still, seeing the device dressed in white again gives us hope that we may see it on a wider scale one day. One lucky person in the Philippines nabbed the white Nexus 4 from a buy and sell website, and that’s basically the whole story. While the appearance of Read more

LG Plans On Releasing A Device With A Flexible OLED Screen By End Of 2013

LG has announced via their recent financial results call that it will be releasing a smartphone with a flexible OLED screen by the end of the year, according to The Wall Street Journal. The news was dropped by vice president of LG’s mobile division Yoon Bu-hyun, who claimed that his division was working closely with LG Display to make the flexible screened wonder a reality. Of course, this probably wouldn’t be a completely flexible phone, as the flexible OLED display technology is still in its infancy, and other components such Read more

GENx Hybrid Bumper Case for Nexus 4 review

There may be a decent selection of Nexus 4 cases at this point, but there’s always room for more. So when I saw the GENx Hybrid Bumper Case for the Nexus 4, I knew I had to give it a go. While the official bumper case for the Nexus 4 does it’s job just fine, I’m personally a sucker for orange.. anything. With no other official color options to be found (in the Google Play Store, at least) this bumper case may be a good option for those who want Read more

Nexus 4 gets slight design tweak – Now with nubs!

New Nexus 4 units have received a very slight tweak in their design: nubs. Not only to these small nubs allow for better grip on flat surfaces, but also raise the unit slightly for a better speaker experience when the phone is on its back. Luckily, the nubs are very small and don’t take away from the overall design in any way. I’m pretty happy to see this slight tweak, as the slickness of the Nexus 4 has prompted me to have the bumper permanently on at all times. The Read more

Nexus 4 gets some T-Mobile LTE love with custom ROM & older radio

T-Mobile customers holding onto a Nexus 4 are in for quite a treat. If you’re willing to work for it, that is. Yesterday, T-Mobile went live with 7 LTE markets in the US and thanks to some custom ROMs and older device radios, you too can hook your Nexus 4 to T-Mobile’s LTE network too. The Android 4.2.2 update updated the radio in the Nexus 4, squashing T-Mobile LTE dreams, but not all hope is lost. Custom ROMs are here to help you out and give the Nexus 4 the Read more

White Nexus 4 bumper makes in-store appearance

We’ve seen the white Nexus 4 bumper make its rounds online before, but this would be the first time that we saw it in a real store. That’s right, the bumper was spotted at a Videotron store in Montreal, Canada, sitting alongside the black bumper, just waiting to be plucked up. While this doesn’t necessarily confirm the existence of a white Nexus 4, we’d say that it bodes well for the rumor. We loved the white LG Optimus G, and we’d also love to see the Nexus 4 get a Read more

Nexus 7 now available in Korea via Google Play Store

If you’re in the US, the availability of the Nexus 7 has created some envy for those who haven’t had such luxury. Luckily, Google has officially made its uber-popular tablet available for South Korean markets. The Nexus 7 is still one of the best options available to one who is in the market for a 7 inch tablet. From the price to its horse power, the Nexus 7 hits all of the right spots, and now it’s become available yet another country. The 7 incher has been available for almost Read more
