LG Nexus 5 rumors surface, set to compete with Nexus 4 pricing

LG Nexus 5

LG may have just revealed their new LG G2 smartphone, but that isn’t all they have in the works. With countless reports and rumors surrounding the next Nexus, some stating it will be from LG, previous reports claimed they have no part in the device. That, and today’s new rumor comes just days after reports surfaced that Moto is up next for the Nexus 5.The VP of LG Europe recently stated that the company is in fact not working on the “Nexus 5″ smartphone. The VP Won Kim went on to mention “The Nexus 4 was a great success despite the production problems for us and Google,” and continued that with comments that they’d do it again, but don’t “need” to. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard those comments either, and now they seem pointless if these rumors are correct.

According to My Drivers things are certainly in the works by LG and Google, and we could be seeing the next Nexus soon. While we’ve already speculated that LG and Google would partner on the G2 and make it a Nexus just like the did with the Optimus G and the Nexus 4, today’s addition is that the price will be the same, even with the huge increase in specs.

However, not all the specs will make it into the Nexus 5 if they want to keep the pricing the same. This rumor states we’ll still enjoy the 5.2-inch 1080p display, 13 megapixel camera, and countless other impressive features, but lose the 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor. Instead aiming for something like the Snapdragon 600, which is fine, as well as moving the buttons back to the side of the device. The G2 buttons are all on the rear.

I don’t know about you guys but if we could get the LG G2 with normal buttons, maybe at the cost of not being as thin, yet keep that massive 3,000 mAh battery all inside a Nexus 5 priced the same as the 4 with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, I’d be all for it. That’s what this rumor is stating. We’ll keep our eyes out for details and report anything else that creeps up.

Smartphone battery technology is pretty good these days. But if there’s one thing gadget lovers will never be able to get enough of it’s the promise of better battery life . Wouldn’t it be great if our handsets lasted two or three full days of heavy use with just a single charge? What about a whole week? With graphene batteries, this might not be such a pipe dream. Graphene batteries aren’t powering smartphones and other gadgets just yet, but the technology is progressing. In the future, graphene could be the material that replaces the lithium-ion batteries that the technology industry has become so reliant on for decades. We’ve written about graphene a few times before here at Android Authority. It seems like one of those technologies with heaps of promise but that’s perpetually just around the corner. While we’re still a ways away from the commercialization of graphene technologies, including batteries, it’s still something well worth keeping on your radar. Here’s everything yo...

For those of us old enough to remember, a carefully curated physical or digital music collection was once a thing of pride and joy. Today, of course, music streaming services like Spotify have taken over the duty of cherry-picking recommendations and giving you a non-stop stream of music tuned specifically to your taste. Now imagine if someone had the power to wreak havoc on that carefully tuned stream of music, or worse, lock you out of your own account. Unfortunately, a quick look around social media suggests that there has been a noticeable uptick in users reporting that their Spotify Premium accounts have been “hacked” and accessed without their permission. What is going on here? Why is are these Spotify Premium hacks happening, and more importantly, how do you secure your Spotify account against these hacks? Why was my Spotify Premium hacked? While Spotify has not acknowledged a wider issue, looking at user reports from Premium-tier subscribers paints a dire picture. The rep...
