Title: Nexus 5 specs get confirmed as an alleged press shot leaks
Post by: GSMArena on Sep 17, 2013, 05:31 PM
An alleged official press photo of the Google Nexus 5 has surfaced after the smartphone made several appearances (http://www.gsmarena.com/unannounced_lg_nexus_makes_another_unscheduled_appearance-news-6806.php) in the past (http://www.gsmarena.com/alleged_lg_nexus_5_leaks_through_fcc_in_highres_photos-news-6789.php) weeks (http://www.gsmarena.com/did_google_accidentally_showcase_a_new_nexus_smartphone-news-6718.php). The press shot of the Nexus 5 confirms the phone's exterior, while a good chunk of its specification sheet also leaked in a benchmarking website GFXBench.

It confirms the LG-made Nexus 5 is going to rock a Snapdragon 800 chipset with four 2.3GHz Krait 400 cores. On top of that, as with every Nexus smartphone, Google will debut a new version of Android. In the case of the Nexus 5, that'll be Android 4.4 KitKat (http://www.gsmarena.com/glossary.php3?term=android). Nothing that the earlier FCC documents (http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_d820_certified_by_the_fcc_might_be_the_nexus_5-news-6737.php) didn't specify, but still.

GFXBench reports the resolution of the Nexus 5 will be 1794 x 1080 (read 1920x1080). The codename of the device is reported as Hammerhead. Additionally, Google is reportedly going to make the LG Nexus 5 official by the end of October (http://www.gsmarena.com/casemaker_spigen_hints_october_31_as_the_nexus_5_launch_date-news-6804.php), if casemaker SPIGEN is to be believed (and we have a good reason to believe it is.)

The rest of the LG Nexus 5 specifications remain a mystery at this point. However, our educated guess is that there'll be 2GB of RAM and no microSD card slot. The Nexus 5 seems to be based on the LG G2, so a 13MP main camera isn't going to be a surprise.

Finally, if the Nexus 5 topic is of interest to you, you may as well check out a user-made 3D render of the Nexus 5 that's based on all leaked images so far. You can check it out below.
