Nexus 5 Service Manual Leaked Out, Gave All Nexus 5 Specs

Image
This evening,  Android Police  is reporting on a purported service manual that was sent to them by an anonymous source that gives us a lot more detail about the next Nexus. Whether it be the Nexus 5 or the Nexus 4 (2013). It looks very familiar, very like the one that passed through the FCC and the one the Googler was holding during the Kit Kat unveiling last month. The service manual gives us plenty of specs as well: 4.95-inch 1080p IPS TFT display 32GB internal storage 2GB of RAM MSM8947 – Snapdragon 800 clocked @ 2.3GHz 8MP OIS Camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera 2300mAh battery Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Proximity/Ambient Light, Pressure Slimport Micro SIM slot Notification light Wireless charging NFC Bluetooth 3.0….surprised it’s not 4.0. UMTS/GSM/CDMA/LTE compatibility   Android Police is also stating that the weird circle on the front of the device is the earpiece. There’s still not a clear view of that circle on the front available just yet. The assumption is that it’s

Nexus 5 to Be First With MEMS Camera, Faster Shutter Speed

The leaked logs from an errant Nexus 5 just seem to be the gift that keeps on giving. Now,  AndroidWorld.it   have uncovered more information on the device’s hardware. This time around, things are focused on the device’s camera. Which just so happens to be much more than  just  another 8MP sensor. When sifting through more and more logs, the enterprising Italians came across some information about the Nexus 5′s camera. Specifically the model number: “imx179″. Which, with a quick Google brings you to  this pdf . So, just what on earth is special about this MEMS camera module? Well, from a sensor point of view not much at all. You’re looking at an 8MP BSI sensor at 1/3.2″, which isn’t very impressive at all. Where DigitalOptics’ MEMS module comes into its own is through the use of micro-mechanics that drastically improves shutter speeds and reduces blur. It’s also designed to focus and refocus incredibly quickly before you hit the shutter button. Basically, this isn’t going to be the bes

Nexus 5 release date, rumours and everything you need to know

With the Nexus 4 now being the oldest device in the Nexus stable, it's time to turn our attention to the Nexus 5? When will the Nexus 5 launch? What will be different? How will it compare to the Nexus 4? There's a swirl of rumour and speculation circulating the internet as we head into autumn, the traditional launch time for a Nexus smartphone refresh. Here we're pulling together all the details and trying to separate the wheat from the chaff and build a picture of Google's next Nexus smartphone. We'll update the feature as and when new details become known. Nexus 5 release date The Nexus 4 was launched on 29 October 2012, replacing the Galaxy Nexus, launched before that on 19 October 2011. The pattern suggests a late-October launch date for the Nexus 5, with stock landing in the Google Play store soon after, most likely within two weeks. Recent documents from the FCC suggest that the Nexus 5 has been through the certification process, which typically happens in

LG Nexus 5 rumors surface, set to compete with Nexus 4 pricing

LG may have just revealed their new LG G2 smartphone, but that isn’t all they have in the works. With countless reports and rumors surrounding the next Nexus, some stating it will be from LG, previous reports claimed they have no part in the device. That, and today’s new rumor comes just days after reports surfaced that Moto is up next for the Nexus 5. The VP of LG Europe recently stated that the company is in fact not working on the “Nexus 5″ smartphone. The VP Won Kim went on to mention “ The Nexus 4 was a great success despite the production problems for us and Google,” and continued that with comments that they’d do it again, but don’t “need” to. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard those comments either, and now they seem pointless if these rumors are correct. According to My Drivers things are certainly in the works by LG and Google, and we could be seeing the next Nexus soon. While we’ve already speculated that LG and Google would partner on the G2 and make it a Nexus just
