LG and Google will release the next new Nexus this coming October and it is reported to have the Android Pay.

Google and its partner LG will be releasing the next Nexus phone in the coming months and it will be have Android's newest operating system the Android M. The said operating system will feature the pre-installed Android Pay, ZD Net reported.

Google has partnered with LG and Huawei with the next Nexus phone and will get a 5-inch and 5.7-inch screen size, respectively.

For those who are not aware of the Android Pay, a past report by CNet detailed the feature as the new Google Wallet. However, compared to the previous version of the payment method, Android Pay will be more convenient and secure.

The Android Pay will also feature a reward system that will let users collect a reward for every purchase. And the good news about this reward system is that users can also earn points from Google's partner retailers.

In relation to the Google's Nexus phone, tech experts are still looking for valid reasons why they have to come up with 2 phones instead of one and why go with 2 different manufacturers instead of just one.

Since Google has yet to comment on the subject, they have come up with the possible reasons why the multi-billion dollar company decided to release 2 phones from 2 different companies.

The first reason has something to do with last year's Nexus 6, BGR points out. The Nexus 6 was released as a phablet and based from the result, not everyone wants the huge device as their phone. Another reason why Nexus 6 could be at fault is because of its price.

On the flip side, not all phone users don't want small phones either, and most probably, paying extra money for what they want won't be an issue. That is why (maybe) Google decided to come up with 2 Nexus' a 5.5-inch phone through LG and a 5.7-inch phablet by Huawei.

With regard to the manufacturers, experts can only guess and they have guessed logically. The first guess they had why Google picked LG is because of the Android Pay. They want a phone that will showcase their Android Pay in October and among the phone manufacturers they have contacted about it, LG was the only company who had met their expectations.

Second is why Huawei? They have a lot of possibilities in mind, but the most realistic and logical is the company's fan base in Asia, most especially China or Google just want to work with LG or Huawei, as simple as that, who knows.

Until Google answer the question if they wanted, the mystery will be there. Nonetheless, the next Nexus phone promises a lot of great features, which includes the Android Pay, who is expected to give the Apple Pay a good fight.
