LG Optimus G2 spotted online? Or is it the Nexus 5?

There's a new device leak thanks to @evleaks but this time its not clear which device this is, other than the fact that it is an LG smartphone. You can view an image of the smartphone here.

Evleaks has a confirmed that the device does have a 5.5-inch screen but no other features have been leaked. And all this wonderful vagueness has only resulted in confusion in tech-circles as to whether this is the LG Optimus G2 or the Nexus 5.

According to TechRadar, there are rumours of a possible LG and Google tie-up as well this year. LG and Google had launched the Nexus 4, which was a Google-branded version of the Optimus G2.

However there have been sufficient hints from Google's top brass that the company's Motorola Mobility unit is working on its own set of devices. From Larry Page to Eric Schmidt, the talk seems to be about how awesome these new products will be. Hopefully Google will reveal them at its annual I/O conference which is due to begin on 15 May.
