Leaked Nexus 5 Specs Detail Google's Next Smartphone

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.
