Nexus 5 Technical manual leaks

Sunday 6 October 2013


For the Nexus fans out there this is some big news. A draft of the official LG service manual for the next Nexus has been posted online. It's a 281 page document, filled with troubleshooting materials, circuit schematics and pinouts, but it does have a couple really interesting things hidden inside.

First of all, the line drawing (see above pictures) gives us the complete look at the overall device design. Picture the G2, with some minor cosmetic changes and no weird button placement. The back of the unit is also pictured, and it matches up well with some previously leaked images and looks similar to the Nexus 7 from a materials stand point.

But most important to many Nexus fans are the specs. The document gives us a peek at most of the device's specs, confirming and expanding upon recent rumors – here's a quick rundown of what it reveals.

  • 4.95" 1080p display (IPS TFT for those interested)
  • Snapdragon 800  quad core CPU at 2.3GHz
  • 2GB RAM
  • 32GB internal storage (other capacities not specified)
  • 8MP OIS rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
  • Wireless charging
  • 2300mAh battery
  • Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Proximity/Ambient Light, Pressure
  • HDMI out via Slimport
  • Micro SIM slot
  • Notification LED
  • NFC
  • Bluetooth 3.0 (We assume this is an error – Bluetooth 4.0 appears elsewhere in the document, but according to the last page it's still a draft.)
  • UMTS/GSM/CDMA/LTE compatibility

Right now, we have no reason to believe that this isn't the real deal. Remember, though, that the leaked document is a draft and could likely have some errors.
