A service manual for the LG D-821 (aka the Neuxs 5) has been leaked online showing full specifications of the smartphone and a blueprint (above). The document is 281 pages lengthy but here are the key bits:

All the latest update and rumours on the Nexus 5 release date, specs plus photos

Nexus 5 leaks have touched a fresh high with the phone shown off in a long video (see below). We've rounded up all the possible release date, price and specs for the Google Nexus 5. Updated on 14/10/13.

The Nexus 5 will be Google's next leading Android smartphone. It will maybe be combined by a original version of the Nexus 10, too. Thus certainly, we're deep to know whatever it will bid and after it will be available.

Though the Nexus 4 has had matters with stock shortages, it's remained well received and standard with punters. A high-end smartphone for £239 is a reduced even if it's a bit incomplete on storage.

Views are turning to the Nexus 5 and anything it has to offer to compete the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z and HTC One. LG is the most hotly tipped manufacturer to make the Nexus 5 but Google is also seeing other dealers.

Nexus 5: Release date

Google has declared that the next form of Android will be 4.4 KitKat, not 5.0 Key Lime Pie. We still expected the Nexus 5 to come with the latest version but there has been no hint as to when KitKat will arrive.

Google hasn't announced when the new Nexus 5 will be discovered, or flush if it is creation one but here are the rumours on when it will reach.

The first risk was that Google would announce the Nexus 5 at its Google I/O (input/output) developer meeting which takes place in May in San Francisco. However, the affair came and went with no Nexus 5 or even Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie.

At previous year's Google I/O which took place in June, the firm unveiled the Nexus 7, its first tablet running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It seemed likely new hardware would be revealed at this year's conference but this wasn't the case - unless you include theSamsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition.

Google publicized an efficient Nexus 7 tablet with Android 4.3 but there was no reference of a new smartphone at that launch event.

So, it's extremely likely that we'll see the new Nexus 5 attain around a year after the Nexus 4, in October or maybe November. The Galaxy Nexus was broadcast in November and the Nexus S in December.

The Nexus 4 price has stayed cheap from £239 for the 8GB model to just £159 signaling that Google wants to shift remaining stock before the Nexus 5 arrives. In fact, the smartphone is 'out of inventory' on the US Play Store.

The Nexus 4 is now out of stock in the 8 GB and 16 GB models and Google is reportedly not planning to replace the device. Another hint that the Nexus 5 is near arrival.

Meanwhile, Droidlife is hinting at a release date of 31 October citing anonymous sources.

 

 

Nexus 5: Is this the Nexus 5 in the flesh?

In Google's launch video of the Android KitKat statue, an unidentified device with a Nexus logo was spotted (below left). Google has unavailable down the clip only stimulating the suggestion that the smartphone was the unannounced Nexus 5.

Following the KitKat statuette entrance, the Nexus 5 has been marked in the wild. The owner luckily left it blaming in a bar unattended but a keen eyed worker shattered it up.

The Nexus 5 has been marked once again, watching exactly like the photos from the bar . The timely handler said the rear cover feeling similar to that of the Nexus 7 and the device is smaller than the recently launched LG G2.

 Nexus 5: Price

Causes suggest Google will possess the price of the Nexus 5 the same as the Nexus 4. That's £239 for 8GB and £289 for 16GB.

Though, the price of the Nexus 7 went up from £159 to £199 for the cheapest model so there's no assurance.
