LG Nexus Phone Photos Leaked, Sports Bedazzled Backside

 

An Samsung tablet isn’t the only Nexus device rumored to be heading our way sometime soon. Earlier this week, rumors about a new Nexus phone manufactured by LG started swirling around the web, based around the design of the company’s flagship Optimus G. A picture is worth a thousand whispered rumors, of course, and now several leaked images purport to show the rumored LG Nexus in action.
A tipster sent Android Central the photos above, which are compelling for a couple of reasons. The home screen shows that the smartphone runs on the stock Android 4.1.2 build, as a new Nexus device should. Then again, any phone can run stock Android if it’s rooted. More intriguing are the build and model numbers found in the device information screen; they list the phone’s name as “Mako,” which jives with the fish-based naming scheme Google uses during internal testing of Nexus devices.
