Okay, let’s take a quick break from all the iPhone 6 noise and check out this leak for all the Android fans out there. According to a benchmark result, the upcoming Nexus phone could be the Nexus 5 (2014). In addition, the benchmark most likely revealed the next Android 5.0 version – Android Lion.

Previous rumors suggest that the next OS could be Lollipop, Lemon Cake, and even Lasagna. This has been the first time “Lion” came up on our radar. For those not familiar, there’s a candy bar from Nestle called Lion – just like KitKat. So it’s not that farfetched if Google will tread down this path and go with that OS name. We have previously reported on what to expect with Android 5.0 and you may also check out the UI comparison.

As for the new Nexus phone, it might not be known as the Nexus 6 or Nexus X but simply the 2014 edition Nexus 5. It’s still unclear what company will be making it as of now but the leaked benchmark tags along a list of specs.

Google Nexus 5 (2014) leaked specs:
5.2-inch Quad HD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor
Adreno 420 GPU
3GB RAM
32GB storage
12MP rear camera
2MP front camera
GPS
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
NFC
Android 5.0 Lion

So how does a Quad HD Nexus phone running on Snapdragon 805 and Android 5.0 sound to your ears? Pretty sweet, eh?

LTFRB to require GPS installed in public buses

Lazada Philippines

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will soon require all public utility buses (PUBs) to have GPS (Global Position System) installed so their location and speed can be monitored while on the road.

Bus operators can purchase the GPS devices only from suppliers accredited by the LTFRB. The devices will also come with a SIM card slot, GSM/GPRS connectivity, and updated firmware so it can send data to servers for monitoring.

“Ang paglalagay ng GPS sa mga pampublikong bus ay isang paraan para madaling malaman kung ang isang bus ay wala sa tamang ruta ng ayon sa kanilang prangkisa,” said LTFRB chairman Winston Ginez.

GPS suppliers are also required to equip the device with LED-based On Screen Displays that show the actual speed of the bus so that passengers can also monitor if the bus driver is complying to the set speed limits – 60kph for Metro Manila, 90kph for provincial.

In addition, the board is also planning to develop a mobile application so users can check on their smartphone or tablet the bus’s location, when it will arrive, and how long it will take to reach their destinations.
