Mystery LG phone leaks: Nexus 5, Optimus G2, or something else?
An LG prototype smartphone that could be the new Optimus G2 or even the Google “Nexus 5″ has been spotted in the wild, though exactly what the sizable handset is still remains a mystery.

AT&T LG Optimus G Pro Review
The LG Optimus G Pro brings a massive upgrade to the LG Optimus G, a device put together so well that Google decided to use it for its most recent hero smartphone, the Nexus 4.

LG “Nexus 5″ tipped as Google reportedly renews deal
LG will make Google’s fifth Nexus smartphone, Korean reports suggest, following the Nexus 4 with a second Google-branded smartphone. Timing for the release of the smartphone, which The Korea Times says is part of LG’s attempt to further develop its relationship with the search giant, is unknown, though given the Nexus 4 was only revealed in November last year, it’s perhaps unlikely that any “Nexus 5″ would be shown off at Google I/O later this month.
