"Google may have "accidentally" revealed the Nexus 5"

Google has been busy partnering with Nestle for a KitKat themed Android 4.4 release, but it seems all the chocolate excitement may have given us an early look at the Nexus 5. In a promotional video accompanying the KitKat announcement, a Google employee can be seen taking pictures of the new lawn statue. The employee in question is holding what looks like a new Nexus device, with the rear of the device featuring a horizontal Nexus logo, and a matte finish and large camera lens that hasn't appeared on any existing Nexus devices.

 

After a Nexus 4 price drop and the introduction of the Moto X, a Nexus 5 may well be on the horizon. We've reached out to Google to comment on the mysterious Nexus. and we'll update you accordingly.

 

Awesome. I'm sure the Nexus 5 will be awesome, because the Nexus 4 certainly was! Hopefully they'll add CDMA support so I can use it with Verizon. Please Google, make this so!

Looks like it will be made by LG after all. It might even have a glass back as well, though it's hard to tell.

 

Notice how the logo is sideways, implying that it'll be used in that orientation often and that the camera will likely be impressive.

Google just posted a video of the unveiling of the Android KitKat statue (seen below) but it seems unintentionally or not (I'm thinking it was planted), they also showed off the back of a device with the word nexus written horizontally. The device has a lot of the design language of the Nexus 7 with a matte finish and a round flag glass for the camera lens cover. While it is too small to be a Nexus 7 it is also larger than the Nexus 4 in the hands of the woman to the right. There also seems to be an LG logo but it's a bit too blurry to be sure.

The fact that its next to the Nexus 4 says something, Im glad it doesn't have a plastic back like earlier leaks suggested.

Beaten by 2 minutes. Had I not made the write-up myself mine would have been some 5 minutes earlier :lol:. Oh well...

Might have just been a coincidence, but that is a bit fishy, isn't it?

This is definitely not an accident. Google wouldn't something like this slip so easily lol. 

 

I think they purposely put the "Nexus 5" next to the Nexus 4 so it would stand out in the video and get speculation rolling around. You can tell that it is a new Nexus phone though, because the Nexus branding on the back is horizontal instead of "vertical".

Well, they did remove the video pretty quickly.

Maybe they're just trying to make it look like an accident? I dunno now.

[mymouthandi]

Not an accident at all. They will try and make it look like one, but I refuse to believe that this wasn't a deliberate leak to keep people talking about the Nexus 5. 

[Nicktrance]

It looks like it was planted. It should be based on the LG G2 which is awesome, it has an awesome camera, Snapdragon 800 (the fastest mobile SOC so far), a gorgeous 1080p 5.2" display with tiny, sleek, sexy bezels as well as great battery life. The only thing I dislike is the texture of the beck and the button placement, both of which the Nexus 5 looks to be addressing. Couple all that with the low price of a Nexus and I'm probably going to be throwing money at my screen in a month or so...

I'm with Nicktrance here. Google are too clever to accidentally put a highly anticipated upcoming product in a video online. Definitely a plant to help build hype imo.

ahh crap please dont make a 5 inch phone

All rumours are pointing at a 5" or greater phone, probably 5.2" but with tiny bezels it's about the same size as a Galaxy s3/s4.

Definitely not for me, I really like the 5" screen size (possibly more but I haven't had the opportunity to use a phablet), but if the rumours are true it should have great specs which is unheard of for smaller displays. Mind you we're still talking about a 4.3" display.

i envy people who comfortably use a 4.5+ inch phone

i have to wait for the mini versions

[ExDreamer]

Rumor says that it would have matte finished back

SSSSSSTOP IT!!!!!

 

"posted twice" , "already posted"

 

who cares...... this is the one i found and this is the post I read first so from my point of view the other may be the doubled post, and this problem will not be solve unless the forums detects doublepost automaticaly or the new section become close with only a few authorized posters.

 

SO, read above and let the moderators deleted without warning the double posts with the same info.

 

BTW, thanks for sharing bro.!
