Leaked Nexus 5 Specs Detail Google's Next Smartphone
As the rumored release draws closer, a more complete picture of the Nexus 5 is beginning to form.
We've had plenty of Nexus 5 leaks over the last few weeks but just in case you didn't already have all the information you needed about Google's upcoming Nexus smartphone, we have a whole list of specifications for you.
Previous rumors have suggested that the Nexus 5 will be the largest Nexus phone yet with a screen measuring more than five inches. There's also been talk of a Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM and, of course, KitKat. Thanks to this latest leak, we now know that the Nexus 5 will pack a 4.95-inch 1,920 x 1,080 IPS display, the aforementioned quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor (clocked to 2.3GHz), 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera with a 1.3-megapixel lens up front, the same OIS present on LG's G2, a 2300mAh battery, up to 32 GB of storage, and support for CDMA, GSM, WCDMA, and LTE.
CNet reports that this new info comes courtesy of a user manual published to Scribd (since removed at the request of LG) and aimed at service technicians. Aside from containing technical diagrams, the specs listed above were also laid out. The handset will likely be the first Android 4.4 KitKat phone on the market and is thought to be arriving at the end of October or sometime in November.

Save yourself some money and put whatever ROM you want on a Galaxy S4. You will have a better phone made by an actual hardware company.

Perhaps it is a better phone, but the Galaxy S4 is currently $600 off contract. I doubt the Nexus 5 will cost more.
And I'm pretty sure LG is also an "actual hardware company".
The innovation is you can buy a pretty high specs phone without selling your kidney. Galaxy S4/Note 3/iPhone 5/LG G2/Nokia 1020 are all $600+ phone. For me, I really don't want to spend too much for a phone. Phone tech just evolve TOO FAST!! (specially compare to computer)
"new info comes courtesy of a user manual...aimed at service technicians"
Sounds like a true spec for this phone.
At the same time....I'm wary of the battery......

True, but there may be multiple versions of the device pitched etc. Too many ways it could turn out wrong. At this point it's just a better version of a rumor
