Get your grain of salt ready, because you’re going to need it for this rumour. According to a leak from EMT Leaks, a device specified as a “Nexus 5 2014” has been spotted and boasts some very interesting specs – more on that later. Perhaps most interest among all the details is the fact the device is running software called “Android 5.0 Lion“. Apart from being a bit left field, “Lion” is actually another trademark of Nestle à la the Lion Bar, which begs the question: is Google still in cahoots with Nestle for future builds of Android? If true, this would be the second time Google has switched out their internal build name, rumoured to be Lemon Meringue Pie (LMP), the first being of course Android KitKat, previously known as Key Lime Pie.
The second most interesting thing about this rumour is the device itself. We would have expected the device to be the Nexus 6 or Nexus X, but the appearance of a “Nexus 5 2014” suggests this is the true name of the device, or Google will be refreshing the device along with a larger phablet device. Whatever the case, the device looks great: Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM,  and 12MP camera – a definitive upgrade from its predecessor. But as we mentioned at the start, we’d definitely suggest taking this news with a grain of salt as we can’t be sure any of this is true.
