THAT GOOGLE

Android Google is done selling the Nexus 4 in the US The Nexus 4's run in Google Play is now over. On Monday, Google's online storefront sold out of the 16GB versionof the flagship phone in the US, and a trusted source with knowledge of the company's plans tells The Vergethat this marks the end for the LG-built device. Google has no plans to bring it back in stock in any storage size. A few Nexus 4 handsets remain on sale through Google Play in other countries, but once those devices are sold, that'll be it. Last week, Google sold out of its remaining 8GB Nexus 4inventory after a clearance price cut. Google's decision to stop selling the Nexus 4 comes amid rumors that it and LG will team up for a follow up Nexus smartphone, possibly called the Nexus 5. In a video announcing the next major update to Android, version 4.4 KitKat, a Google employee was filmed holding up a new smartphone that features a horizontal Nexus logomuch like the branding seen on the new Nexus 7. Last week, pictures of what might be a fully assembled Nexus 5 appeared in an FCC filing. With the Nexus 4 no longer being sold by Google in the US, updated hardware might not be too far off.
