The LG Nexus 5 is all but announced after seeing it on the official KitKat reveal video and again in an FCC filing with lots of great images showing the new Google smartphone.
According to a new tipster over at AusDroid, Google is preparing to reveal both the LG Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 at an event on October 14, giving the company little over a month to preparing for the outing.
Google has always launched devices with a new updated version of Android and this is set to be no different. We may see the Nexus 10 make its arrival at the event too, but we doubt this will have any Google Glass, smartwatch or game console news.
The LG Nexus 5 is expected to have a five-inch 1080p IPS display, quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16/32GB of internal storage, 2400mAh battery and the usual WiFi, LTE and NFC for wireless charging.
Not much is known about Android 4.4, named KitKat in partnership with the biscuit maker. Key Lime Pie was meant to sort out issues with fragmentation and offer Android to lower end devices without chugging on battery life, perhaps KitKat will add these functions.
Google has added two new version of Jelly Bean in the past few months and this move to KitKat is a little quick, considering only 1% of users are actually running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and a large heap are still on Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich.
