It seems that the Google Nexus 5 just can't stay under wraps. The rumored next-generation handset from Google and LG has surfaced once again, this time in the form of a leaked service manual that basically tells us everything there is to know about the device.
The manual for device LG-D821 (a rumored Nexus 5) was spotted by an anonymous tipster reporting in to Android Police, which found it posted online to Scribd. The manual, a near-final draft, has since been taken down at the request of LG, but not before enough techies were able to learn what the Nexus 5 will come equipped with.
The specs listed in the LG-D821 manual seem to line up with previous tips stemming from FCC filings and more. According to the manual the Nexus 5 will sport a 4.95-inch 1080p Full HD display, 2GB RAM, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked in at 2.3GHz. The internal memory is listed at 32GB, although Android Police does state that there's a possible mention of a 16GB model in the manual as well.
The rear-facing and front cameras shoot at 8 megapixels and 1.3 megapixels respectively, and the entire unit is said to run on a 2,300mAh battery. The manual also reveals that the Nexus 5 will feature LTE and NFC support. Sensors on the phone include an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a compass and proximity/ambient light and pressure sensors.
There's been no official confirmation that the manual is 100 percent valid, and even if it was, it's important to note that it's not a final draft and contains a few errors (for instance, the dimensions listed are the Nexus 4's and there seems to be a limited mention of Bluetooth 4.0). Either way, it won't be too long until official details about the smartphone roll out, as Google is expected to make an announcement in mid-to-late October. The Nexus 5 is expected to ship out to customers before October is over.
