Recently, an alleged LG branded device with model number D820 popped up at the FCC website
and appeared to have the same dimensions as the mysterious Nexus
smartphone that was spotted in the Android KitKat video released by
Google.
However, @evleaks is the latest
to suggest that the rumoured LG D820 is just a CDMA variant of the
flagship, the G2 and is not a Nexus successor. The tweet said, "Sorry
Nexus fans: LG D820 is just a CDMA G2 variant." The tweet by the
notorious phone leaker clears the doubt about a possible Nexus 4
successor being spotted at various certification sites. However, the
serial leaker has not mentioned anything about the Nexus 4 successor.
Earlier on
Monday, another LG branded device popped up, this time on the Bluetooth SIG website. The listing revealed a
device with model number LG-D821 which LTE enabled device. The SIG
listing unfortunately did not offer anything new and doesn't shed any
light on the internals of the device.
Previously, a Vietnamese
site, Tinhte.vn claimed that the next Nexus smartphone - called Nexus 5 - will be based on
the LG G2, though it obviously
would not be an exact copy.
Rumoured specifications of the next
Nexus smartphone include a 5.2-inch full-HD display, Snapdragon 800
processor clocked at 2.3GHz and 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. The alleged Nexus
successor can be expected to run the latest Android OS, the KitKat
(Android 4.4) which might be launched with the device.
