According to a recent tip received by Phone Arena, Nikon may be getting more serious about the smartphone game. The tip references Google’s upcoming Nexus 5 which, according to the site’s source, will feature a Nikon branded “triple camera sensor” as its key selling point.

As of now, nobody knows what the tipster meant by “triple camera sensor,” but the news that Google is planning to amp up the performance of the camera modules in its Nexus phones actually broke about a month ago.
