Does a bear take a leak in the woods? I assume so. And probably with about the same frequency as details of the Nexus 5 leak all over the Web. Following the FCC approval of a very Nexus-like handset from LG, a purported technical manual of the still-unofficial Nexus 5 has hit the net.
The document was leaked to Android Police, which reported on the deets of the probably soon-to-be-unveiled handset. Despite LG's insistence that they definitely certainly have nothing to do with Google's next gen Nexus phone, the Korean manufacturer acted quickly to remove traces of the document from the Web. Still, here's what we know from the now-redacted document:
According to the manual, the Nexus 5 will sport a 4.95-inch 1080 p display, which is slightly larger than the Nexus 4's 4.7-inch screen. The Nexus 5 will also include 32 GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM, all powered by a 2.3Ghz Snapdragon 800 processor. It will also sport 8MP rear camera, and 1.3MP front camera.
While we loved most of what the Nexus 4 had to offer, one of its biggest faults was a lackluster battery life. Fortunately, the Nexus 5 ups its predecessor's 2100mAh battery to 2300mAh. While it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, the battery would match with the similarly sized HTC One's battery, but fall short of the 4-inch Galaxy S4's 2600mAh battery or the 3000mAh power pack on LG's G2 phone.
