When Google went with LG to manufacture the Nexus 4, there were some doubts about the build quality of the device, considering the company’s affinity for tacky plastics. However, LG delivered a premium handset with glass on the front and back and focused on the details. The result was a great looking phone, which at first sight doesn’t look anything like what LG has made before. Looks like Google liked what LG brought to the table and is going back to the Korean manufacturer for the next Nexus smartphone. According to a tip received by Android and Me, the Nexus 5 will be made by LG once again. The tip comes from an anonymous source, who claims to be a Google employee, and told the website that the prototype shown in the leaked image is the real deal. However the source also says that Google is testing many prototypes from different manufacturers and among them is the LG Nexus 5, codenamed Megalodon (a giant prehistoric extinct shark, if you were wondering). Of course, there is no indication of such a handset existing, so we would advise you to take this with the usual dose of salt.
