Will the Google Nexus 5 2015 come with a better camera as well?

Through the years, the Android operating system (OS) has carried some problems ranging from battery life issues and then some. How about the camera?

For mobile phone buyers these days, the camera is equally important. With social media and selfie-taking lovers in retrospect, it is apparent that the megapixel count somehow plays a role as well.

For the record, the Google Nexus 5 2015 will come with a 13-megapixel main shooter and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The main camera is impressive but skimming through other devices these days, a 5-megapixel front shooter seems hardly different.

So with that covered, could it be all in the app?

If so, maybe the Google Camera 3.0 app could spice up things a bit. The Google Camera is an app available for Android devices but the new version could be added to the upcoming Google Nexus 5 2015 which is reportedly coming out on Sept. 29.

Artem Russakovskii bares that Google is testing the Google Camera 3.0 app and it includes new features such as Smart Burst and the inclusion of the Camera2 API.

Of course, there are other apps which look into the new Camera2 API so it will be interesting to see what Google Camera 3.0 will have to offer and on whether it would be better.

It remains to be seen if such could impress folks who are eagerly awaiting the Google Nexus 5 2015. Remember that while the battery longevity issue has been somehow already addressed by Lollipop updates, a new app with some tweaks could be affected as well.

Will it happen or will it be totally different? Well, the official answer to that could come by the end of the month once the device does come out as scheduled.
