evleaks backtracks: LG D820 might still be the LG Nexus 5

Here is an interesting turn of events. First we got lots of rumors LG will be once again manufacturing the next Google smartphone - the Nexus 5. Then we get to see the LG D820 leaking through the FCC, so many people decided this is indeed the Nexus 5.

Unfortunately, the usually very reliable evleaks tweeted the LG D820 is in fact just the CDMA version of the LG G2 falgship, not the next Nexus device.

Well, today evleaks has retracted his previous statement, saying that it looks like he was wrong.

    Happy to say it looks like I was wrong about the LG D820/D821...

We guess this means the LG D820 is actually the Nexus 5. How about that?!
We'll know for sure next month when Google is expected to announce its next phone and chosen manufacturer

Did Google "accidentally" leak a new Nexus smartphone?

It looks like the Android 4.4 KitKat statue is not the only thing revealed by Google today. A mysterious smartphone, sporting a large Nexus logo on its back has made an unscheduled appearance as well. The mysterious smartphone you see in the photo above appeared in the video which showcases the Android 4.4 KitKat statue's placement in Google's campus.

Google has subsequently made the YouTube video private, thus further strengthening the feeling that we are indeed looking at the real deal. The yet to be revealed device sports a look which closely resembles that of the latest Nexus 7. It includes a large, landscape-oriented Nexus logo, as well as similar matte finish and camera placement. Furthermore, a Google employee with a Nexus 4 standing beside the person with the unannounced handset helps us notice the size difference between the two devices. Rumors suggest that the next Nexus smartphone will be made by LG using the powerful G2 as a base. We doubt it will be a long wait before we find out.
