Google has confirmed that the recently unveiled Nexus edition of Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone won’t be leaving United States anytime soon. So, in case, you were planning to buy the phone in Europe, Asia or any other place outside US, you are out of luck. The situation might change in the upcoming months, but right now, Google does not seem to have any plans for release in any other country. Announced at recently concluded Google I/O 2013, Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus edition packs stock Android 4.2.2 instead of Touchwiz laden Android. Other specifications of the phone remain same as Touchwiz version, which packs 5-inch 1080 Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, 16GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera, 2MP front camera and microSD card slot. The phone also features unlocked bootloader and SIM slot. It has been priced at $649 and will go on sale in Google Play on June 26. Source
