Nexus 5 Key Specs Confirmed By Leaked Service Manual


nexus-5-leak-123-big.jpgFresh purported evidence about the rumoured Nexus 4 successor has been spilled out, thanks to a leaked service manual that is said to reveal its specifications.
Android Police has published a service manual for the LG-D821 variant which was formerly believed to be the LG G2's CDMA-variant. The leaked manual reveals complete specifications of the alleged Nexus 5 along with diagrams, images, and flowcharts of the device.


The specifications revealed by the alleged leaked manual include a 4.95-inch full-HD (1080p) IPS LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 2GB RAM, 8-megapixel rear camera with OIS and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. It is also evident by the alleged manual that the rumoured Nexus 5 will come with 16GB and 32GB storage onboard as the company seems to shift to larger inbuilt storage on the device. However, the manual reveals nothing about expandable storage.

The Nexus 5 is also rumoured to include a host of sensors like ambient light, proximity, pressure as well as accelerometer, compass, notification LED and gyroscope. Connectivity features expected on the device include NFC, Bluetooth, A-GPS and Wi-Fi. It is also suggested by the leaked manual that the device will come with 2300mAh battery and also support wireless charging. One of the images in the manual show the alleged Nexus 5 with large camera sensor as seen in at the back, which was first spotted in the Android 4.4 KitKat announcement video.
There's not much more that can be leaked out about the Nexus 5, except for the device itself to actually be officially announced. A recent report had indicated an October release for the Nexus 5 while the device would ship in the last week of October.
Recently, the rumoured Nexus 5 was leaked in its clearest image yet.

A leaked service manual of the LG-D821 a.k.a. Nexus 5 reveals most of what there is to know about the device - design, specs and even how to open it.
We already knew the most important features from various leaks, but here is the real deal. The Nexus 5 packs a 4.95" 1080p IPS display and runs on the Snapdragon 800 chipset with a quad-core 2.3GHz Krait 400 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. It has a 1.3MP front camera, an 8MP OIS camera with a LED flash at the back and a 2300mAh battery underneath the rear cover.


According to the service manual,the Nexus 5 supports GSM, 3G, CDMA and LTE connectivity plus NFC and Bluetooth 4.0. The phone also comes with a Slimport-enabled microUSB and wireless charging support. As it turns out the Nexus 5 will come in 16GB and 32GB flavors, but as was to be expected there is no option for memory expansion.
The last notable specs are the notification LED and the microSIM slot. Android 4.4 KitKat will be in charge of operations, of course.
There are a few pictures of the Nexus 5 itself in the manual and we've extracted those for you.
