Google Nexus 5 Prototype Leaks

An image and specifications of a Nexus 5 prototype have been leaked online, according to Android and Me.

The source claims to be a Google employee and says the prototype is for real, but the site hasn't been able to confirm if it's genuine or not. "There is a good chance that some basement dweller is trolling us hard, but this person has an interesting story so we thought it needed to be shared." - Android and Me.


The Nexus 5 will be released in October and could be made by LG. Google is apparently considering prototypes from other phone manufacturing companies. If LG is selected it would be the first time that Google has partnered with the same manufacturer consecutively.

The Nexus 5 should bring with it a new version of Android, codenamed Key Lime Pie.

Ubuntu OS phones to hit stores in October

It's been said that Ubuntu's open-source operating system would be available on smartphones by the end of the year, and now it's confirmed that consumers can get their hands on such devices in October.

The founder and CEO of Canonical Mark Shuttleworth said that Ubuntu OS smartphones will be available in October and app developers will get access to the OS later this month.


Ubuntu OS is long a favorite open-source platform for computing. The OS will use the same drivers as Android smartphones and will also be able to run on entry-level smartphones. It will use native apps, which means that developers can create a single app for both the desktop and the PC. This will let users easily move between devices. The OS also favors swiping gestures to reveal navigation strips and overview pages.
