A draft of the service manual for the LG Nexus 5 has leaked out revealing what could be the legitimate specs for the phone. The manual is made up of 281 pages including a diagram of the phone, which resembles a smaller LG G2 without the buttons on the back. The rear of the phone matches what we saw on that infamous picture taken the day that the KitKat statue was unveiled at the Googleplex. The Nexus name looks like it does on the back of the Nexus 7 (2013), except that it is oriented differently.

But surely you want to hear about the specs. The 4.95 inch IPS display offers resolution of 1080 x 1920 and a quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor (MSM8947) will be under the hood. 2GB of RAM will be on board with 32GB of native storage inside. The device will be powered by a 2300mAh cell that can be recharged wirelessly. On back will be an 8MP shooter with OIS and a 1.3MP front-facing snapper will take selfies and supports video chats. The LG Nexus 5 will come with NFC enabled. And yes, this time around there will be LTE connectivity.

As usual when we pass along something of this magnitude to you, we ask that you use a skeptical eye when reading this. There are some reasons to think that this is not on the level such as the conflicting Bluetooth specs on pages 8 and 11. Still, there is nothing that stands out as being too ridiculous to believe specs-wise and the pictures and diagrams match up with what we have been expecting.

If you have nothing else to do on a Saturday night, all 281 pages of the manual are below, waiting for you to go through each and every page. If you dont have the time, you can check out the slideshow directly underneath the manual.PhoneArena

Often times on product pages on Sprint’s website, they’ll have a 360-degree angle of the device, so you can see the entire thing. Well actually it’s like that on most retailers websites nowadays. Following yesterday’s exclusive with a bunch of photos of the Nexus 5 found on Sprint’s website, we now have the full 360-degree angle of the device from a Tipster who got these off Sprint’s website. It’s actually an animated gif, which you can see above. It shows us the “white” Nexus 5 and all sides of it. It actually looks a bit like a Oreo in my opinion.

The white Nexus 5 definitely looks nice and it might actually be my first choice, which is surprising since I only like black or dark-colored phones. The Nexus 5 is due to be announced any day now, and it looks like it’ll be hitting T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint. There doesn’t look to be any type of chance for it hitting Verizon anytime soon. It’s expected to have a 4.95-inch 1080p display, with a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM 16GB of internal storage and a 2300mAh battery. Not bad for a phone that’s going to cost $350 unlocked. Which is about half the price of the Galaxy S4, LG G2, Galaxy Note 3, HTC One and many other flagships out there now. Not to mention that it will also get updates straight from Google.

At this point, every part of the Nexus 5 has been leaked. So what’s stopping Google from just announcing it already? Who knows. But I really hope they announce it soon as I’m getting bored with these leaks and just want to hold the Nexus 5 in my hand already. It’s great to see Sprint getting another Nexus device. They have had the Nexus S 4G and Galaxy Nexus in the past, but did not get the Nexus 4 last year, which I believe was due to Verizon messing up the Galaxy Nexus so bad. Sprint has really been a big Google supporter over the years. They are the only carrier to really “support” Google Voice, and the only one that has Google Wallet on their devices out-of-the-box.
