It’s been just over 6 months since Samsung released its Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone, but new reports suggest the company is already working on its successor. This news comes just weeks after Samsung released the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge, leaving some people to speculate if The Next Big Thing will be the Galaxy 6. According to SamMobile, Samsung is in fact working on a new Galaxy smartphone, but it’s not being called the Galaxy S6 (at least for now). Sources close to the development team say it’s being called Project Zero. As SamMobile points out, this is the first time Samsung has opted for such a unique codename for its devices.

The build reportedly changes the Android version name from “L” to “5.0,” and it brings back the Android bird game as an Easter egg. Android 5.0 L will introduce a plethora of new goodies, including a fingerprint screen lock feature, system-wide universal fonts (smaller than original), Google search bar added to recent menu, different color schemes, removed interruptions from sound settings, new filter options under Gallery (Pets, Events, Scenery, Documents, Food, Vehicles and Flowers), improved Material user interface, text in navigation bar icons, new search…
