Is this the Google Nexus 5? We think so

Google has let its guard down amongst all the excitement over Android KitKat, so much so we may have just gotten the first look at the Google Nexus 5.

In a promotional video for Android KitKat’s statue unveiling, someone is caught using an unfamiliar Android device — leading us to believe that this is indeed the Nexus 5.

Google has since removed the video, but we’re going to go out on a limb and say that this is the Nexus 5, which seemingly features a large camera lens and a matte back — as well as a horizontal Nexus logo.

We had already heard that LG is working on the Nexus 5 and the inclusion of a small LG logo on the bottom of the device seemingly confirms that suspicion.

The Nexus 4 has just received a price drop so it’s likely that we’ll see the Nexus 5 anytime now.
