The LG Nexus 4 is one beast that doesn’t seem to want to stay out of the spotlight. After a Googler posted a photo taken by the Nexus 4 on Google+ just yesterday, even more pictures taken by the device have surfaced, some of them uploaded by an LG employee this time around, further confirming that LG’s Nexus phone will be called the Nexus 4.

The photos uploaded by the LG employee have been pulled, though one of the pics clearly showed the person taking a picture on the front camera on the Nexus 4 wearing an “LG Electronics” lanyard. The quality on those photos doesn’t look particularly good, which while disappointing can actually be taken as a confirmation of the device being a Nexus device, as they are pretty infamous for having poor quality cameras (is it to stay that way forever Google?).

The LG Nexus 4 will sport a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB RAM, 4.7″ 720p display, 8 megapixel camera, 8GB storage (at least initially), and Android 4.1.2 (which could change to 4.2 later on), and is expected to be announced, or even released next week.

Is Google (or LG) playing with us or are these all clues to a pretty close release of the Nexus 4? It is not like it was a coincidence that an employee from both Google and LG decided to do a photo session at the same time, so yes, I say it’s all being done to tease us. What do you guys think?
