Rumour: Samsung once again making the next Google Nexus Android handset
It's in the stars?
While this rumour may be coming from one of the least reliable sources on the internet (see: every bizarre and untrue iPad rumour for the past two years), the existence of a couple of recent relevant precedents makes it at least slightly believable.
According to sources speaking to DigiTimes (yes, those guys), it appears that Google has once again chosen to go with Samsung as the manufacturer of the next Google Nexus flagship Android handset.
The decision makes sense on paper: Samsung is one of the most successful makers of Android phones on the market, and, unlike other companies, it produces its own chips.
The first version of the Nexus was manufactured by HTC, but in recent years the baton has been passed over to the Galaxy S maker.
Given that Samsung will be unveiling its own flagship smartphone in May, it's likely that the next Nexus device will launch at the tail end of the year, almost certainly to coincide with a new version of the Android OS if previous releases are anything to go by.
