How you caught the buzz about this new found love of the rumor mills? Google’s latest baby, the Nexus 5 is making waves– and in more ways than one. If the latest tips on the smart phone are to be believed, then we can look forward to a highly compact model and a smaller version than its predecessor, the Nexus 4.

The Nexus 5 is expected to be codenamed “Megalodon” and will come packaged with a smart camera from Nikon. We can just wait and watch, as further inputs regarding its date of launch, price and how will it fair against Samsung galaxy S4 in the due course of time.
