Given past release time frames, if the new Nexus is to arrive this fall (like both of its LG-made predecessors), then Hong should have been told about it by now. Things get a bit more complicated, though, when you factor in recent rumors that spoke about the Nexus programme being discontinued in favor of a broader 'Silver' effort from Google.

At one point in the past LG was said to be making the first such 'Android Silver' handset, though this was referred to as being the successor to the Nexus 6. So will there be a Nexus 6? It's really tough to tell. Though if it will happen, it's probably not going to be made by LG.
