Even though the Nexus 7 is still fresh off its release, it’s hard not to think about Google’s next self-branded device. We’ve seen Nexus smartphones from both HTC and Samsung, but will Google stay true to its partnership with the latter? Obviously, it’s still too early to tell, though I’d love to see another device like the Nexus One. I’ve owned the entire line of Nexus handsets, but the N1 still sits on my desk for spontaneous flashing and hacking.

The folks over at AndroidPolice brought up a great question, so I thought I’d post it here as well to spark some heated discussions. If you were in charge of Google’s Nexus division, who would you choose to be the manufacturer of the next Nexus? What would be your ideal specifications? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.
