"The LG Optimus G2 is coming in Q3, yes. We don't want to hide everything but similarly we don't want to promote everything about the G2 in advance. To some extent we have to tease the features and specifications through channels, it is somewhat premature for me to talk about the G2 in terms of specifications. G2 is going to be something different, something unique and we have needed to be very creative... There is something unnamed that is a G2."

Last month, Google organized Google I/O 2013. It's the biggest developers meet to discuss new things coming from company's R&D lab. It was said that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean would finally be seen on Nexus 4 and Nexus 7.
