    Potential Nexus 5

    LG Nexus 5 with LTE makes probable appearance in FCC (update: 5-inch display, Snapdragon 800)
    http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/05/lg-nexus-5-fcc/?ncid=rss_semi
    The oft-rumored Nexus 5 is turning into quite a riddle. If you've been following the saga, there has been no shortage of drama in recent memory. Most recently we saw a Google employee snapping pictures with an unknown LG-branded Nexus at HQ in Mountain View -- in an official video, no less, which was almost immediately taken down -- and now a smartphone dubbed the D820 has been approved by the FCC. Certainly, we don't want to just assume that every LG phone getting Federal approval for the foreseeable future is an N5, but there are a few clues in the paperwork that give us plenty of reason to nail this down as the primary suspect: first, the image above, taken from a section detailing the device's Qi wireless charging capabilities, shows the inside of the back cover. When comparing it to the phone revealed at the HQ slip-up, the two pictures line up incredibly well. The D820 also features 7-band LTE, some of which are compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint (bands 2/4/5/17/25/26/41), CDMA / EVDO rev A, pentaband DC-HSPA+ and quadband GSM / EDGE, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac. That's an amazingly healthy list of specs for your usual FCC submission, and the list of LTE bands is quite stunning as well. If it's not the Nexus 5, it's certainly going to be one heckuva flagship. Question is, how much doubt do you have? As usual, we leave you with the docs for you in case you have a burning desire to do some digging yourself. Update: Our commenters have noticed some more nuggets in one of the docs: an admission that the phone is running firmware M8974A, and the software version listed is "aosp_hammerhead-userdebugKyeLimePieFACTORYeng.sangjoon84.lee.20130618.015154." The firmware seems to indicate a Snapdragon 800 SoC, which wouldn't surprise us in the least, and the software appears to suggest that it's running KitKat (Key Lime Pie), weird typo aside. Update 2: In a good catch by Brian Klug from Anandtech, the docs also clearly indicate that this device will have a 5-inch display (4.96-inch, to be exact), and measure 131.9mm tall and 68.2mm wide. Check out the screenshot here.

            All the specs look good, it's what the Nexus 4 should have been. I'm needing a new(er) phone as my Skyrocket is screwed up and I don't think I can wait till March for my contract renewal. This looks promising, just wish it had a removable battery.

              I do too but if it performs anything like the LG2 then it won't be necessary.

                As the specs stand now it will not work on Verizon. I have heard though that there may be a "Verizon version" coming soon, but we all know how well that worked out last time. I would honestly say don't hold your breath. Get Moto X or change carriers if you want a "google" phone.

                  It has CDMA band 1, and LTE band 4. Other than verizon refusing to allow service to it, it should technically be able to work on their network.

                  Same issue with the nexus 7 tablets, but people have those working on Verizon.

                        Looks like someone is determined to get this to work on VZW.

                          my coworker got his. it's nice. screen is good, back feels great. a bit too big for me but i still like it. may buy one.

                          i used to love nexus devices only but now the bloatware is coming from google itself. hell, even on a non-mobile device im getting sick of google's product line trying to integrate itself and giving me a plus profile a couple of times a day.

                          it's getting to the point where you are going to have to flash ASOP to rid yourself of:

                          google+
                          hangouts
                          currents
                          earth
                          google play movies&tv
                          google play magazines
                          google play games
                          google play books

                            See those make sense though because you're getting a "Google" phone it's crap like what Verizon puts on their phones that is just uncalled for, but I totally agree the bloatware is getting out of hand. I think it's fine if you want to put it on the phone but give us the option to get rid of it to free up that resource for things we want and need.
