Reports pertaining to the LG-manufactured Google Nexus 5 have been around for many weeks now, and with Google Executive Vic Gondutra having already promised that future Nexus devices would deliver "insanely great" camera performance, we may now have even better insight into how exactly Google plans to achieve this. PhoneArena has received a tip suggesting the Nexus 5's camera module could feature a “triple camera sensor” alongside some Nikon branding. More details after the jump.

GApps for Android provides a solid base of highly functional apps for the many millions on the company’s mobile ecosystem, and with Android 4.2 bringing a deluge of new features to the table, it’s only natural those floundering in wait of an OTA update would wish to get their hands on GApps 4.2.
Most of you will, by now, have seen the prime time release of the Samsung Galaxy S4 on Thursday, and while the early opinions are flying about at will, it's pretty hard to gauge just how the device fares against some of its rivals. The handset is overflowing with high-end features, and trumps pretty much everything else in the specs department, but in a face-to-face, real world comparison, how does Samsung's latest outlet compare with its long-standing adversary, the iPhone? Several publications managed to get their hands on the Galaxy S4, and as well as offering in-depth, hands-on coverage, also briefly considered the presence of the iPhone 5.
Following on from the earlier report which supposedly revealed Galaxy S IV pricing and release details for Italy and much of the EU, retailer Unlocked Mobiles has just confirmed the price point of the SIM-free version in the United Kingdom. For a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S4 without any strings attached, UK consumers should be looking to pay around £529.98 including VAT, and while this is quite a high price to pay for a smartphone, it's around the same as you might pay for the HTC One, or iPhone 5.
Despite being a paid service, Microsoft's Xbox LIVE service is considerably more popular than the free alternative of the PlayStation Network. Whilst I have no personal preference, I always found the Xbox LIVE Dashboard to be a very polished experience, and it's a product Microsoft takes great pride in developing and maintaining. Each user is represented by a highly customizable avatar, and as well as various items of clothing available, there are also plenty of props. If you're a soccer fan, for example, you can exchange some of your Microsoft currency for a soccer ball to sit alongside your avatar, and if you're crazy about the Redmond company's Surface tablet, you can now grab the free prop just added to the Marketplace.
The Galaxy S4 has scarcely managed two days in the limelight, and already Apple has chimed in with the customary new web page offering a bunch of subtly-conveyed reasons why Android sucks, and why the iPhone 5 is much better and you should buy it. As childish an assessment as that may sound, we're used to seeing just how the biggest battle in tech frequently devolves into playground-like tit-for-tat, and with Apple and the iPhone 5 feeling decidedly left-out over the past 48 hours, it was never going to be long before the Android community was treated to some kind of backlash.
Wii Title ‘The Conduit HD’ Makes Its Way To Android, Features Stunning Graphics And Gameplay [VIDEO]
The Google Play Store is crammed not only with more recent, mobile-adept releases like Cut The Rope, Temple Run and Angry Birds, but also those older, cherished titles from various other platforms. Yet while it's not uncommon to see old PlayStation and Xbox games being optimized and enhanced for the modern gaming world, the titles made famous by Nintendo consoles have been conspicuous by their absence. Nintendo's decision not to bring any of its own titles to the mobile realm, aside from its own DS and 3DS range, is a major factor in this trend, but today, Wii title The Conduit has made its way to Android.
The Mail app for iOS offers a simple way for users to manage multiple email accounts with relative ease, but for some, the basic features don't stretch far enough. The jailbreak community operates with the mentality that there's always some room for improvement, and Mail Enhancer Pro, a tweak developed by Stefan Mollenkamp, has long since been seen as the antidote for those pining for a better mail experience. Now, Mollenkamp has just introduced Mail Enhancer Pro iOS 6, and along with all the features we know and love from the previous iteration, additional niceties have also been added to the mix especially for iOS 6.
Jay Freeman, better known throughout the jailbreak community as Cydia creator Saurik, rarely dabbles in the business of building tweaks himself. The WinterBoard jailbreak app has been around almost as long as Cydia itself, and since its release, tweaks from the founding member of the jailbreak scene have been fewer and farther between. But earlier today, a new tweak by the name of Cyueue entered his repository, and simply put, allows for a more flexible experience when using the native Music app.
HTC's One smartphone device may yet to have been released to market, but already, the folks over at XDA have put together a brilliant all-in-one toolkit for modding enthusiasts to download and enjoy.
