Purported Service Manual Gives A Look At The Next Nexus Phone, Reveals 32GB Storage, 8MP OIS Camera, Photos, And More

mgsstar

 

Courtesy of an anonymous tipster, we've got a nice weekend treat for those caught up in Nexus season rumor hysteria. A document, purported to be an internal Service Manual for the LG-D821 (which we previously thought was a G2 variant) and posted to scribd, gives us an in-depth look at the next Nexus phone.

There's a lot of technical information, flow charts, diagrams, and photos of silicon here, but there are a few things worth picking out before you dive into the full document.

First, we now have a new look at the device, with the document including line drawings and disassembly photos.

The document also gives us a peek at most of the device's specs, confirming and expanding upon recent rumors – here's a quick rundown of what it reveals.

  • 4.95" 1080p display (IPS TFT for those interested)
  • 32GB internal storage (other capacities not specified)
  • 2GB RAM
  • MSM8947 aka Snapdragon 800 at 2.3GHz
  • 8MP OIS rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
  • 2300mAh battery
  • Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Proximity/Ambient Light, Pressure
  • Slimport compatibility
  • Micro SIM slot
  • Notification light
  • Wireless charging
  • NFC
  • Bluetooth 3.0 (We assume this is an error – after all the document is still a "draft version" according to its last page)
  • UMTS/GSM/CDMA/LTE compatibility

Nice specs, although I wish it had a bigger battery. I think I'm just gonna get an LG G2.

Just a quick question (because I've been curious about this).

 

UMTS and HSPA are the same thing, right? Same with GSM and EDGE?

HSPA is an upgraded version of UMTS. Found this link: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130524071142AA4oeIC

 

Correct me if I am wrong about this because I just searched this up.

So I'm assuming they're compatible with one another? 

Yea:

 

 

HSPA is backward-compatible with UMTS, EDGE and GPRS

So I guess this means that the Nexus 5 won't have that fancy MEMS camera?

 

I think thats what it was called, but the one where you can refocus a picture after you have taken it

If it's available in Wind Mobile(CA) then I'm getting it for sure. Been planning to get a N4 for a while.

EDIT

Lg phones arnt normally updated 

and double check the dev section on XDA and check if there is life in the forum so in the future if u want to update etc

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.
