The front facing camera for the next Nexus will be 1.9 megapixels. according to the report. It will also have an SD card slot, which the original Galaxy Nexus did not have; the storage amount remains the same at 16 GB.
The report doesn't state when this rumored Galaxy Nexus successor might be released, but if this report is true, it's likely that it could come out before the end of the year.
