The same as LG is said to plan the launch of a Nexus handset that would sport the features and specifications of LG Optimus G – save for the outer design – Taiwanese phone maker HTC is rumored to aim at releasing a Nexus phone of its own, supposedly featuring the specs of HTC J Butterfly.

The company has been long rumored to plan the release of a new Nexus device, yet no specific info on the matter was available until now.

New reports, however, suggest that HTC’s smartphone will be launched as Nexus 5 and that it will pack the same 5-inch 1920x1080p full HD (440ppi) display as J Butterfly, along with its quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor and 2GB of RAM.

LG is said to plan the launch of Nexus 4, which means that other vendors might release new Nexus phones as well, just as previously rumored.
