A pretty slick-looking mock-up was recently created by Killu-Chan and released on Concept-Phones.com. Showing a sexy edge-to-edge screened device that has some design elements straight out of the Motorola design team. Or so it would look to us. They even offer up a bit of speculative specs that could and would, make the next Nexus a sure-fire winner.

Crazy sounding right? While many of the features seem extremely plausible, we would have to call BS on the RAM. 8GB? Seriously? The battery isn’t to far-fetched though, considering the mock-up looks Motorola in nature and the RAZR MAXX has accomplished that feat with a 3300mAh battery. But I have never know Motorola to use Tegra chips. That could change of course being that this would be a Nexus device. Plus we still have no idea who is making the next Nexus to begin with. On a side note though, there was rumor a while back that a few Nexus variants from multiple companies would be hitting the Play Store at some point in time. Who knows, maybe Motorola, Samsung and HTC will all be putting one out.
While we sort of dig the mock-up, similar things were shown off for the Galaxy S III. While it is slick and the bezel is smaller, it definitely never made it to edge-to-edge. We know the rumors of the Nexus 2, or whatever it might be named, should start to filter out pretty regularly now. So we will be on the look out and keep you up to date with the latest rumor and any specific info we come across. Be sure to send us anything you find too. We love tips.
