TuttoAndroid, an Italian site, suggests that Google’s next Nexus device will be called the 4 (2013) instead of Nexus 5.

PhoneArena spotted and translated the report. It says, “The leak's Italian sources, however, are slipping the idea that Google might actually name it Nexus 4 (2013), like it did with the (2013)tablet this year, and could do with the leaked tablet as well. Their arguments are numerous and sound rather plausible at this stage.

“First off, the phone itself says Nexus 4 in the settings, but its keys, frame, display, and other hints aren't of Google's hit phone. There's no faux chrome rim around the sides, so some suggested this is the . The screen's black, however, is not completely dark, indicating an LCD display, and looks way more defined than the AMOLED one on the Galaxy Nexus. The front camera on the left and the earpiece grill on the right jibe with the positions we saw on the leaked photos of what we thought will be called Nexus 5.

“The baseband version listed on the phone is an earlier one than what we have now on the Nexus 4, with LTE enabled, whereas Google has it blocked on last year's device. Moreover, the build is listed as "hammerhead", whereas the internal name of the Nexus 4 in that department is "mako". Finally, in the interface part you can see that the phone's gallery and camera apps are different than what we have on the Nexus 4, while the app drawer has 5x4 instead of 5x5 grid.”
