Somewhere, A Nexus 5 Has Been Unboxed
As if the constant leaks and teasing isn’t enough, they just keep on coming. The Nexus 5 has been teased and
leaked so many times by now, you may as well swing by your local Best Buy, just to check that Google hasn’t secretly released the device into the wild. Google’s Nexus devices are a pretty big deal for Google, after all they’re a chance for the search giant to show off to the world just how good Android can be, when it’s left alone. Last year’s Nexus 4 broke the rules when it went on sale unlocked for far less than comparable smartphones and this year, we’re hoping for more of the same. The Nexus 4 didn’t have LTE however, this year the Nexus 5 should right that wrong and, it’s even coming to Sprint.
Somewhere out in the world though, there is a Nexus 5 in retail packaging and this Nexus 5 has been unboxed.
PhoneArena have been passed a tip that leads to a sinister screenshot hosted on Photobucket. With no further commentary or even a shot of Android 4.4, KitKat running on the device, it’s not the best photo in the world. However, the look of the packaging seems to line up with what we’ve seen before of the Nexus 5 in earlier leaks, like this one:
If you notice the shot of the back (sitting higher in this post), the LG logo is in black with the other pertinent details below. The other image of the back, in the gallery below, shows the handset without those same details and the LG logo in blue. They both however have the now familiar Nexus logo, camera lens and flash.
