Following LG’s statement that
the company is “heavily in discussions” with Google to become the next Nexus partner, HTC said it too is in discussions with the software giant. According to a new report from
TechRadar,
the Taiwanese handset maker is in talks with Google in hopes of being
selected to design the company’s next flagship smartphone. Google
previously worked with HTC to craft the original Nexus One. “Google
hasn’t chosen its Nexus partner for (Android) Jellybean as yet. So right
now all the manufacturers are crossing their fingers,” HTC’s global
online communications manager Jeff Gordon said in a statement that has
since been removed. Gordon said that the notion of being the next Nexus
partner is “still very attractive to all OEMs, despite the imminent
takeover of Motorola.” Gordon didn’t give an exact date as to when
Android 5.0 would be released, but stated the company’s current priority
is to bring Ice Cream Sandwich to its current device lineup.
