Android 5.0 or 4.5 may have been hinted at in a screenshot that was released by Google via Twitter a few days ago.

According to the International Business Times, the screenshots show three phones with the match scores and schedules for the 2014 World Cup.

However, the system clock time was set to 5:00. In some previous Android OS releases, Google teased 2.3 with a phone that had a clock time of 2:30, and all devices listed on Google Play Store have 4:40 on the clocks; they ship with Android 4.4. KitKat.

It’s unclear what devices will work with the OS–if there is one in the near future. On Monday, Android 4.4.2 KitKat was released for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mimi LTE Black Edition.

Google will have its annual Google I/O developer conference later this month. The company is expected to unveil new products and features then.

Google reportedly wants to introduce a fitness aggregation service called Google Fit at the conference.

“Google Fit will aggregate data through open APIs, instruction sets that allow apps to share information, and will also announce partnerships with wearable device makers at its I/O conference, Forbes understands. One source with knowledge of Google’s plans said Google Fit would allow a wearable device that measures data like steps or heart rate to interface with Google’s cloud-based services, and become part of the Google Fit ecosystem. Google could not be reached for comment at the time of writing,” reads a report from Forbes’ Parmy Olson last week.
