Hasta La Gadget!

New FCC documents spotted by Phone Scoop have given us a closer look at what could be LG’s rumored Nexus 5 handset. Curiously, photos of this D820 were filed alongside documentation for Verizon’s G2 (VS980), but the clear view of the front and back appears to be of the same LG-branded smartphone that was approved by the FCC just a week ago.

The D820 offers same rounded-off top and bottom edges found on the Nexus 4, while stepping away from the glass-covered back of its predecessor. Last week’s FCC filing also points to LG including a 5-inch display and a Snapdragon 800 SoC, boosting not only its size but performance too. There’s also room for Qi wireless charging and support for 7-band LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac.

While the shots don’t feature the same giant Nexus logo we saw on the mysterious LG phone used by a Google employee recently, we’re almost certainly looking at the same device. We just hope he got to keep his job.

Much has been said and done about the Nexus 5, with @evleaks actually making an apology, being glad that they are wrong on their call concerning the LG D821, but what you see above here was pulled from an FCC filing which could very well be one of the first close up shots of the alleged Nexus 5. LG looks set to continue being the manufacturer of the next generation Nexus smartphone, and hence so far the naming convention that the world has been using is the Nexus 5, so we will stick to that for familiarity’s sake.

The FCC photos do reveal a rather clear look at the rear of this LG manufactured smartphone, and it does seem to be pretty much consistent with what we saw at the Google Android 4.4 KitKat unveiling video that appeared for just a moment before disappearing into anonymity. Both the camera as well as flash happen to be in the same spot, but one does raise an eyebrow at the visible tiny window located near the top of the device. Apart from that, the FCC images do point to both power button and volume rocker located on either side of the device. I guess it would not take on the LG G2′s unique button placement at the back of the handset after all.

It was just a couple of days ago when serial leaksters @evleaks did mention that the LG D820 as well as the LG D821 is not the future generation Nexus 5 smartphone from LG, after much initial speculation that it was going to be otherwise. Well, here we are with word from the folks over at @evleaks themselves that they could have been wrong. In fact, in their tweet, they mentioned, “Happy to say it looks like I was wrong about the LG D820/D821…”.

Other than that rather open ended statement that does not leave any room at all to arrive at a foregone conclusion, we are left to make intelligent guesses. As to whether the LG D820 is going to be the upcoming Nexus 5 or not remains to be seen, but only time will be able to reveal all as with any other juicy rumors out there which are difficult to substantiate. If it were up to you, do you think that the LG D820 and LG D821 have more than meets the eye, and are @evleaks wrong to backtrack on their previous statement? I myself am in two minds about it, and I sure as heck would not be bothered too much about the eventual outcome as it is more or less certain that eventually, the Nexus 5 from LG will be revealed.

We’ve seen AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon commit to releasing the LG G2 this fall… but where’s Sprint’s version? Don’t worry, fans, the carrier hasn’t forgotten you. Sprint now says it will take pre-orders for the $200 Android flagship starting on October 11th, with a release “in time for the holidays.” In return for the wait, the provider is giving out free QuickWindow covers to everyone who pre-orders a G2 through its website. We doubt that the gift will quell the jealousy of Sprint customers whose friends get a G2 weeks in advance, but the more patient among those subscribers can register their interest at the source link.

Well, well, what do we have here? A leaked image of the LG D821 has just been released by the folks over at @evleaks (who by the way, did refute the previous rumor that the LG D820 is the future Nexus 5, but rather, will be a CDMA version of the LG G2 instead), where this particular leak also did mention about the hardware specifications.

From @evleaks’, er leak, we do know that the LG D821 will run on the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system, powered by a quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, sport 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal memory, a choice of black or white shades alongside CDMA connectivity. It is nice to see that there is no lesser amount of internal memory to come along with the smartphone, as 32GB would be pretty handy these days considering the kind of Full HD video as well as high resolution photos and other kinds of media that you are going to store on it. Of course, it remains to be seen just when will the LG D821 be released, and when that happens, for how much will it go for on the respective mobile carriers. Would you pick up the LG D821 when it arrives?
