Now that Google really kicked off the Nexus 5 rumors, we’re on a roll. Today’s tasty tidbit comes courtesy of the FCC, which just green-lighted a new LG device that looks remarkably like the rumored new Nexus device that a Google employee was spotted using. In fact, we’re almost sure that it’s the same device. It features the same slightly curved design and the large opening for the camera lens.

The device, which goes by the name of D820, also features NFC and Qi wireless charging as revealed by the picture. Seeing as both of those features were emphasized in last year’s Nexus 4, we’re not surprised to see them in this year’s Nexus phone. And if this is the new Nexus device, it features a bounty of cellular support. LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17, 25, 26 and 41 are all supported as well as EVDO rev A, quadband GSM and EDGE, pentaband HSPA+, and dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 B, G and N connections. That means that this new device features full GSM support as well as support for LTE on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we Verizon folks miss out again. But these band inclusions only add fuel to the fire that it’s the Nexus 5. As Nexus devices are generally sold off-contract, it makes sense to try and support as many carriers as possible.

Do you believe that this is the new Nexus? If so, are you excited?

Graphene batteries: What are they and why are they a big deal?

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?
