The Samsung Galaxy SIV seems like a solid well designed smartphone but most pundits were underwhelmed and expected much more innovation. Now that the Galaxy SIV is out of the way, we can concentrate on other rumored upcoming devices like the Nexus 5.

Phonearena is now reporting that the Google Nexus 5 will come with a “triple camera sensor thing” designed (and branded) by Nikon. The same source told Phonearena that this camera will be the major selling point of the next version of the Nexus device.

We know that Google VP Vic Gundotra has said many times that the next versions of the Google device will have an “insanely great camera”. Could they be bringing tech from Nikon point and shoot cameras to the Nexus 5?

The tipster claims the device will have Android version 5 (aka Key Lime Pie), a 5 inch 1080p screen, snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, 8/16GB local storage and a 3140 mAh battery.

Another rumor we have heard is that the product will be sold for $250-300. Most rumors point to a Google IO may launch so everything should be revealed shortly.
