LG leaks their own Google Nexus 4 smartphone online

It's about that time of year when the new Nexus smartphone is introduced, usually with Google's latest and greatest Android OS. Thanks to some product support manuals leaked by LG's Australian and UK websites, we now have a better idea of what to expect in the coming week when Google launches its new line of Nexus smartphones.

While the support website has been taken down, the support manual gives us the goods on the new device. It will ship with either 8GB or 16GB of storage, feature inductive charging and no microSD expansion. In terms of specs, the Nexus 4 is a beast and seems to share many of the great features of the LG Optimus G (quad-core processor, great camera).

Are these RIM's new BlackBerry 10 smartphones?

One of the biggest questions that RIM watchers have asked is whether there will be a QWERTY keyboard BB10 smartphone and the answer from RIM has always been yes even if they showed off the new OS on a multi-touch smartphone, the Dev Alpha device.

The image above, a screenshot from a video (Update: Original Vimeo video has been taken down) shows both an multi-touch display BlackBerry and a QWERTY keyboard and a large touchscreen smartphone that's similar to the BlackBerry Bold. There's no telling if this is final hardware but whatever will be released in 2013 will likely look very similar. These devices represent the L Series (full touchscreen) which will come to market first, while the N series the anticipated BlackBerry 10 phone that features a full qwerty keyboard and familiar styling.
