Nexus 6 could sport a fingerprint scanner

Nexus_Logo_Nexus_5_Red_Edition_TA_01


It has already been rumored that the Nexus 6 will be manufactured by LG and that it will be based on the G3, but Android Geeks is reporting that the Nexus 6 will sport a fingerprint scanner. Interestingly enough, we aren’t expecting the G3 to sport one, so this is a little surprising. The word is that Google is already talking with several Asian fingerprint sensor suppliers.


How this fingerprint sensor would be implemented is a big question. Will it be on screen like the Galaxy S 5 or will it be more like Apple’s Touch ID? That remains to be seen, but it’s expected to be on the front of the device, unlike the HTC One Max.



We are still many months away from the Nexus 6 unveiling so we are likely to see more than a few juicy rumors start to circulate during the summer.


What do you guys think? Do you want to see a fingerprint sensor on the next Nexus?

LG G3 appears set for May 27 debut

Just a day after LG teased that it would launch its new flagship G3 smartphone sometime in the second quarter, it appears that we’ve now got a more precise date on which the LG G3 will make its official debut.


LG today sent out invitations to an event on May 27. As you can see above, the invitation reads “To be simple is to be Great,” with the “G” stylized to look like it was pulled from the G2’s logo. It’s also worth noting that LG is actually holding events in 6 cities around the globe for this shindig, with gatherings planned in New York, San Francisco, London, Istanbul, Singapore and Seoul.


While the Life’s Good crew doesn’t come out and say exactly what it’s got planned for this May 27 event, it seems likely that the LG G3 will be the star of the show. Not only does the invitation include the stylized “G” from the G2 logo, but the fact that LG is holding events in 6 different cities suggests that the company’s got something big up its sleeve.


Previous leaks have suggested that the LG G3 will sport a 2560×1440 display, gold color, flattened user interface and a refreshed set of rear-mounted volume and power buttons. What other features would LG need to include with the G3 to make it a “must buy” for you?

Google is sending mystery gifts to those who found all 151 Pokémon in Google Maps

This is the image that greets Pokémon Challenge winners. Those who played the game on Game Boy will be familiar with it. When Google announced the Google Maps Pokémon Challenge for April Fools’ Day, I immediately opened the app on my phone and began my hunt for little pocket monsters. Unfortunately, the novelty was short-lived, and I only found about 15 before I got bored and stopped looking. But I’m pretty sure I would have stuck at
