Probably the most looked forward to Android device at the moment, the Nexus 5, just made another appearance on the internet. Going by what we see this time round, the design of the device does in fact seem to be in agreement with the mystery Nexus device caught in Google’s promotional video for Android v4.4 KitKat.
What astonished us is the source of this information. The picture was uploaded by weedspeed, a member at the Macrumors forum. However, the picture was taken down in a few hours which, in a way, gives a little hint to its authenticity.
Gizchina News of the week
The specs sheet of the device too, made an appearance in another leak earlier today. It said that the Google Nexus 5 will come with a (no points for guessing!) 5 inch 1080p screen, Snapdragon 800 chipset along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM, and of course, Android v4.4 KitKat. A 2,300mAh battery and an 8 mega-pixel rear shooter too got mentions in the specs sheet, which hints to the Nexus 5 being a somewhat knocked-down version of the LG G2.
Also, to round this up, we’ve heard of two dates when the Nexus 5 might make an official appearance – Oct 14 and Oct 31. Holding your breath while you wait for the Nexus 5 might not be the best idea!
2300mAh?Not buying if true.
not so fast buddy, they said kit kat will bring a revolutionary battery performance…maybe 2300mah is enough to last a sweet day fllavoured with kit kat? just maybe…

They always say that since the Galaxy Nexus.It’s cost cutting pure and simple.
Cool. I wanna buy one of these, just busted a nut looking at the pics
google stated a few months aback that “the nexus 5 will have insanely great cameras”,so an 8 mega pixel camera might be a little on the modest side
It’s not always about the mega-pixels.
“A log file Tweakers has had to face indicates that the Nexus 5 Google and LG support will have new privacy settings and USB on-the-go. With USB-on-the-go can probably photos from a camera to be put. On the phone using a USB cable”

The 8 Megapixel camera (OV8835 / IMX179 module, found in the Nexus 5 log file) has also the ability to shoot six consecutive images at different focus zones, sort of Lytro device.
For a youtube video of this feature, put these words behind: /watch?v=idtmJBa5u3Q
How the hell did they manage to get a plenoptic camera into a phone?
Else the rest of the specs look to be pretty decent. Especially liking the back/construction. We’ll see.
