However, there is no word from Google about the next Nexus smartphone, mentioning if it is coming with Android's latest version 4.0 or not.

According to the reports, Nexus Prime will be designed by Samsung. This smartphone is expected to have an attractive 720p Super AMOLD HD Display, a 1.5GHz Dual Core TI OMAP4460 processor and physical menu keys. Besides, there are rumours that the device will be bloat free and will feature latest Ice Cream Sandwich OS.

Usually the Nexus phones get launched on any particular carrier as a flagship device that easily grabs early adopters and Nexus fans.

According to  Boy Genius Reports, this time there will be number of Nexus smartphones available from different carriers and they all will be introducing around the same time. If the report is true then it would explain why there are several Nexus 3 or 4G device rumors popping up.
