White Nexus 4 is Official; U.S. Launch Date Not Yet Known
During Google I/O, word got out that Google was gearing up to launch a white version of its Nexus 4 smartphone. Though the company didn't actually announce any new hardware at Google I/O, there was apparently a snow white version of the Nexus 4 floating around the developer conference like a stock Android-powered unicorn.
"Nexus 4 set the standard for Android 4.2 Jelly Bean smartphones," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. "Nexus 4 White delivers the same Google experience to consumers in a stylish and attractive color option."
Unfortunately, the May 29 release date applies to Hong Kong only. LG says the phone will roll out globally across selected markets in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East over the coming weeks.
Unfortunately, it seems rumors that the white Nexus 4 would launch with Android 4.3 haven't come to fruition. Then again, that could change for the international launch, so stay tuned and we'll keep you posted on launch details for markets outside of Hong Kong. Previous reports had the phone's launch set for June 10, so it's possible North America will see the phone then.

Make it glow in the dark gold for all I care, it won't make me want to buy it when it has been anounced Nexus 5 is about to be out. I'll just stick to the HTC One.
This is a little odd, considering how the Nexus 5 is coming this year (apparently) and the HTC One/Galaxy S4 are already being released in stock android variants.
