Has been less than a year since the 4. What is the major difference from the 4?

It's 2 weeks from a year, hasn't that been about the same as the release cycle for most flagship smartphones?

Also, site's down I think, but apparently there's a new camera, haven't heard of much else

1080p screen vs 720p, faster processor, wireless charging, opengl es 3.0 support.
Note that the Nexus 4 has both OpenGL ES 3.0 and wireless charging. Still ordered a Nexus 5, but just wanted to note that.
Nice, wish I hadn't gotten my s4 now...
LTE connectivity, a bigger battery, and a better camera. On, and a faster processors and more storage and stuff.
The only thing wrong with the nexus 4 is the battery life, and I don't think an 8% increase in battery size is going to help much. Maybe on average 15 minutes extra screen-on time, but then again it's meaningless without knowing something of the new processor in the nexus 5.
