LG is not going to come out with a Nexus phone this year, according to a company executive who spoke with CNET, but LG remains "totally happy" with its relationship with Google. Since 2012, LG has been behind multiple Nexus phones, including the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 5X.

Due to the creation of a phone being a resource-intensive task, LG wants to focus on creating products for its own brand this year. A return to the Nexus line is always possible and 2016 could be like 2014, during which LG also skipped making a new Nexus.
