Nexus 5 Leaks Again For 'Pre-Registration'. It's Coming In Black And White.
This new leak (let's admit it, we've lost count on how many Nexus 5 leaks there have been, it's almost double digits) comes courtesy of WIND Mobile's (a Canadian carrier) Facebook page.

The Nexus 5 was actually available for 'pre-registration' with WIND Mobile for a bit before it was taken down. Along with the sign-up page, WIND Mobile revealed the full spec list which matches up nicely with what we've seen earlier.

The Nexus 5 is the worst kept surprise in the tech industry. We’ve seen extensive images of the upcoming Google flagship, it’s been caught on video and now it appears that we have a price for it: $349.
engadget.comThat price is for the entry level (16GB) model, according to Google Play. In what is surely a glitch we can see the device clearly listed in the store, but clicking on the phone doesn’t bring us an enlarged image or more details.
That wasn’t the case earlier, since Android Police was able to get a larger shot of the device — which it seems was live on the site temporarily — and here it is. Android fans will notice a lot of new icons, and in particular a new design for the Gmail icon.

Are the leaks whetting your appetite for the next big Android phone? And how about that for a great price — for a basic comparison: the new iPhone 5s retails from $649 unlocked.

The device is missing the "Nexus" branding on its backside, suggesting that this is some early prototype hardware, and the software that's loaded onto the phone looks to be an early build of KitKat (it's even referred to as "KeyLimePie" in the About phone screen).

The phone in the video lines up with the hardware that we've seen in previous Nexus 5 leaks, including its large camera housing with a flash below it as well as a microUSB port on the rounded bottom. Moving to the front of the device, we can see a camera in the upper-left corner and a circular earpiece right next to it.
The right side of the Nexus 5 features a power/lock button and SIM card slot, while the left side is home to a volume rocker. A quick peek in the phone's Settings app shows that it's got 16GB of built-in storage.

It has a 1.3MP front camera, an 8MP OIS camera with a LED flash at the back and a 2300mAh battery underneath the rear cover.

According to the report, the device will be released with a brand new version of Android, Key Lime Pie, on board.
siliconindia.comThe news that LG is producing the Nexus 5 and that it will be based off the LG G2 will be a welcome relief to some users who were disappointed by the Moto X.
idigitaltimes.comThe Nexus 5 specs rumors include a 5.2-inch screen, a 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 600. The Snapdragon 600 is the processor present on flagships like the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4.

The Nexus 5 will be based on LG G2. Here's a look at it
The LG G2 is the first smartphone handset to come without side buttons, with a control pad on the back of the handset.

The concept of putting buttons on the back came from research which revealed that the larger smartphones became, the harder it was for users to access side keys, LG said.
The smartphone sports a 5.2-inch full HD display. Under the hood it runs on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, making it the first device to include Qualcomm's fastest chip.

Other features include the screen coming to life with just a quick tap, and call answering by simply putting the phone to the ear. The phone also carries a 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation for blur-free photos.
Nexus 5 vs iPhone 5C: How do they compare?
The upcoming smartphone is also expected to run Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie with cheaper price tag compared to other flagship handsets. Is iPhone 5c going to catch up with Nexus 5?
Both the Nexus 5 and the iPhone 5C are speculated to carry forward the signature design aesthetic of their manufacturers. While the Nexus 5 is supposedly a larger version of the Nexus 4, the iPhone 5C is said to look just like the iPhone 5 - with curvier edges.
Android is reportedly giving the Nexus 5 a 5-inch display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Apple is likely to maintain the iPhone 5C's resolution at 1136 x 640 pixels and its pixel density of 326ppi.
Rumour has it that the iPhone 5C will be powered by Apple's dual-core A6 processor and a tri-core GPU, along with a 1 GB RAM.
In brief...
Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, LG Optimus G2 and Sony Xperia Z are also not going to compete with the low price range offered by Nexus devices. Google will surely make their handsets inexpensive yet powerful.
