LG, Huawei’s Nexus phones to be up for pre-order on October 13

Two Nexus phones are coming this year. Both LG, a company familiar with the Nexus line, and Huawei will be producing the phones for Google’s signature hardware brand. The Huawei-made Nexus phone will be larger and have ‘better’ specifications than LG’s offering, but the latter will bring Nexus phones back to a more affordable price. Google is expected to announce the new devices at an event held in San Francisco on September 29. The pre-order date, though, is not set for that same day. You’ll have to wait a few weeks to secure your new Nexus phone.

A source tells Talk Android that both LG and Huawei’s Nexus phones will be made available for pre-order on October 13. This date is exactly two weeks after the aforementioned event. What the source did not provide us with is a shipping date; however, Nexus devices have a history in shipping 1-3 weeks after an announcement or when pre-orders are first taken.

Being that Google has still not confirmed an event for September 29, the October 13 pre-order date could change in the coming weeks.

Here is a recap of Nexus phone timelines:

• Nexus One: December 12, 2009 (confirmed); January 5, 2010 (released)
• Nexus S: December 6, 2010 (announced); December 16, 2010 (released)
• Galaxy Nexus: October 19, 2011 (announced); November 17, 2011 (released)
• Nexus 4: October 29, 2012 (announced); November 13, 2012 (released)
• Nexus 5: October 31, 2013 (announced, pre-ordering started)
• Nexus 6: October 15, 2014 (announced); October 29, 2014 (pre-ordering started)
