Nexus 5 Release Date Set for Oct. 14, Prototype Left in Bar

The Nexus 5 release date could be set for Oct. 14, according to a new report.

A set of videos that show off the new device were also leaked this week. A prototype model was left in a bar and picked up by someone who filmed the device. The clips reveal the boot screen on the handset, but do not confirm the actual OS that is rumored to be Android 4.4 KitKat.

The images and videos also reveal that the device is Nexus branded and that it features LG's logo on the back of it. It looks quite similar to the model that made an appearance in the Google-made video recorded on campus when the new Android 4.4 KitKat statue was erected.

The Nexus 5 smartphone could feature the same 13-megapixel camera as the LG G2.

There have already been several regulatory filings that support this assumption. It would basically be following in the footsteps of its predecessor the Nexus 4 as that device came with the same camera as the company's 2012 flagship, the LG Optimus G.

Android Authority compared the camera modules for the LG G2 to the device that has shown up in the recent FCC docs that is said to be the Nexus 5, and they appear to be strikingly similar.

The two look identical to one another, however; that still does not mean that the Nexus 5 will have the exact same shooter as the LG G2.

The G2's 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization would greatly help the company to sell the new Nexus model.

The Nexus 5 is the successor to the wildly popular Nexus 4 that was released around one year ago. The smartphone is expected to be unveiled alongside the new Android 4.4 KitKat OS.
