With all the new shiny gadgets we have seen in the last month, the Nexus 4 seems less and less interesting. A user on a Korean website, who claims to be in the know, now says LG and Google are working together on the Nexus 5.

He claims it will have a 5 inch full HD screen, a quad-core tegra 4 processor, 8/16GB storage, 2GM of RAM, a 13 megapixel camera and the next version of Android (Key Lime Pie).

The use claims the Nexus 5 will be announced at Google I/O in May and launch shortly after for $299.

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.

The Samsung Galaxy SIII (S3) is one of the best selling phones ever and is seen as the real competitor to Apple's iPhone 5. With all this popularity, Samsung is the butt of many jokes and the motivation behind many rumors. 

Hold your Android phone tight and tell it you love it because we are now hearing rumors from "unnamed sources" that the S IV may see the light of day as early as April 2014. Little is actually known about the rumored device but it is said: 

  • the project is called project J (internally)
  • It will come with an unbreakable screen
  • It will come with Android key lime pie
  • a 5" 441 pixels per inch screen (PPI)
  • a quad core processor
  • a 13 mega pixel camera 

We all know you can trust rumors from unnamed sources so take all of this with a grain of salt but it is nice to see Samsung continuing to innovate.
