Google late Tuesday reduced the price of its Nexus 4 models by one-third to $199, down $100 from $299. The price reduction comes ahead of what promises to be a busy September with Samsung and Apple both readying for product debuts.

Anticipation has been building about the likelihood of a Nexus 5 arriving before too much longer.
