As much as we were hoping LG would create a Google Play edition of the LG G2 , some unfortunate news is threatening that dream. The Korean manufacturer has confirmed that it has no plans to create a Google Play edition LG G2. That doesn’t mean that plans can’t suddenly sprout up in the future, but there’s nothing in the works for the time being. That word comes to us from representative Ken Hong.

Some might take this news to mean LG might instead be focusing on another Nexus handset, but even that seems to be quite dead right now. If you don’t remember, LG once denied that they were making the next Nexus phone. Of course, denials mean nothing in a world of secrecy, but that’s all we have to go on until more substantial information comes to light.

The G2 appears to be a great phone and folks the world over would love nothing more than to be able to get similar hardware with stock Android and Nexus-like update speed. For now, though, we’ll just have to settle for LG’s factory offering and hope folks in the development community can get the goods up and running on this thing once it’s available to the public.
