Nexus 7 4G LTE and new Nexus-branded smartphones – Samsung, Sony, LG – coming to Verizon soon?

September is a very busy month when it comes to media events announcing new products targeting the Christmas shopping season but also when it comes to rumors related to upcoming devices.

With that in mind, we’ll remind you that Motorola and Google held yesterday their first joint media event since the extraordinarily expensive $12.5 billion buyout was completed to announced a variety of RAZR-branded devices, but no Nexus device, as some people may have hoped for – it’s worth mentioning there were no pre-event rumors pointing to such a handset, but one can always hope. Another Motorola presser will follow on September 18, although we don’t expect any Nexus device to be unveiled during it.

A Nexus 7 tablet with wireless connectivity is also expected to hit stores in the following weeks, probably as a direct response to Amazon’s upcoming Kindle Fire 2 and Apple’s rumored iPad Mini both of which are expected to support 3G/4G features.

Should such devices be announced by the end of the year, then Verizon, the nation’s largest mobile operator, will surely want to carry some of them, if not all, so it can convince as many of its subscribers but also other customers to sign up for a 4G LTE device.The Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the Motorola Xoom are not “newly launched”.
