Google Nexus 5 Release Date Closer with Bluetooth SIG Listing: Specs, Features, and Details

More details on the posisble Google Nexus 5, as it's listed at the Bluetooth SIG. 

After the summer months were full of speculation over whether the Google Nexus 5 would be made by Motorola or LG, and whether the device was slated to have a release date this fall, we're finally in the season where we'll probably get constant updates on the upcoming Google Nexus 5. We're now pretty sure the Google Nexus 5 exists and is being made by LG, for example, because a Google employee was spotted using a previously unseen device marked "Nexus" on the front lawn of Google's Mountain View headquarters in a promotional video for Android KitKat. We've also seen a device, under the name LG-D820, go through the FCC recently, which is a dead ringer for Google Nexus 5 which was spotted in the now-pulled Android 4.4 KitKat ad.

And now, listed at Bluetooth SIG, is a device identified as LG-D821, according to Android Authority, which gives us more hope that the possible new Google Nexus 5 is being put through its paces before it's unveiled and possibly released to the general public. However, the Bluetooth SIG listing doesn't give us as much detail as the FCC listing did.

What we think we know about the Google Nexus 5 (i.e., we recommend all specs and details be taken with a grain of salt) comes from the FCC listing for the LG-D820, along with rumored specs that have passed the test of time over the last few months. We're expecting a new Google Nexus 5 to come with a 5-inch display, and support LTE networks, as well as WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. It's looking like it will sport a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, which makes sense because the LG G2 recently featured that system on a chip, and it's looking like Google is basing the Nexus 5 loosely on that device. No word on what that Snapdragon 800 will be clocked at, or how much RAM it's going to use.

Expect the LTE on the Google Nexus 5 to support AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint bands, and it's also a very good bet that the new Google handset will have the latest Android 4.4 KitKat operating system installed. One cool little bonus from the FCC filing was a description of how the NFC and wireless charging system worked, so that very well could be a feature of the new Google Nexus 5 as well.

Google has not officially confirmed any of these details (much less the existence of such a device), so these details could change. Stay tuned to Latinos Post Tech for more information on the Google Nexus 5 as it becomes available, because we're expecting a lot of updates in the coming weeks.
