Fresh purported evidence about the rumoured Nexus 4
successor has been spilled out, thanks to a leaked service manual that is said
to reveal its specifications.
Android Police has published a service manual for the
LG-D821 variant which was formerly believed to be the LG G2’s CDMA-variant. The
leaked manual reveals complete specifications of the alleged Nexus 5 along with
diagrams, images, and flowcharts of the device.
The specifications revealed by the alleged leaked manual include
a 4.95-inch full-HD (1080p) IPS LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core
processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 2GB RAM, 8-meagapixel rear camera with OIS and a
1.3-megapixel front facing camera. It is also evident by the alleged manual that
the rumored Nexus 5 will come with 16GB and 32GB storage onboard as the company
seems to shift to larger inbuilt storage on the device. However, the manual reveals
noting about expandable storage.
The Nexus 5 is also rumored to include a host of sensors
like ambient light, proximity, pressure as well as accelerometer, compass,
notification LED and gyroscope. Connectivity features expected on the device
include NFC, Bluetooth, A-GPS and WI-Fi. It is also suggested by the leaked
manual that the device will come with 2300mAh battery and also support wireless
charging. One of the images in the manual show the alleged Nexus 5 with large
camera sensor as seen in at the back, which was first spotted in the Android 4.4
Kitkat announcement video.
There’s not much more that can be leaked out about the Nexus
5, expect for the device itself to actually be officially announced. A recent
report had indicated an October release for the Nexus 5 while the device would
ship in the last week of October.
