The rumors and hints about Google's Nexus 5 just keep piling up.
This week, the FCC approved an LG phone that appears to be the Nexus 5. Although the FCC's report doesn't mention the Nexus 5 by name, there are several signs that this is Google's next flagship handset.
For one thing, as Engadget points out, photos of the phone's inner rear case look familiar. That's because a similar-looking rear panel briefly appeared in a promo video for Android 4.4, now known as KitKat. The position of the camera lens and flash, and the overall shape of the device, suggest that it's the same phone.
An Engadget reader also discovered a reference to "aosp_hammerhead-userdebugKyeLimePieFACTORYeng.sangjoon84.lee.20130618.015154" in one of the FCC documents. "Key Lime Pie" was going to be the name for Android 4.4 (prior to KitKat's endorsement), and "AOSP" refers to Android Open Source Project, suggesting the type of unmodified Android software found in all Nexus phones.
