Google is adding a few more gadgets to holiday shopping lists.

The devices announced Monday include the latest in Google's line of Nexus smartphones and a larger version of the 7-inch tablet that the company began selling in July under the Nexus brand.

The Nexus 4 smartphone is being made by LG Electronics and features an update to Google's Android 4.2 system, also known as Jelly Bean. The larger Nexus tablet is being made by Samsung Electronics Co. and features a 10-inch display screen, about the same size as Apple Inc.'s top-selling iPad.

Jelly Bean is Android 4.1, not 4.2
