Nexus_5_Leaked_Image_From_First_Hands_On_Video

Ever since the Nexus 5 made a surprise appearance in the Google Kit Kat video, we have been yearning for a little more. Well today our prayers have been answered with a full hands on 7 minute video from smartphones.sfr.fr. You get a chance to see the device as well as Android 4.4. It's obviously an older build since it's running Key Lime Pie, but no word on exactly how old. Even the launcher isn't transparent like we are expecting with the version that gets released.

The timing of this leak is quite interesting, and one has to wonder if we will indeed see the officially unveiling next week as rumored. Hit the break for the video.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

4 icons wide in app drawer even though the Nexus4 is a smaller screen AND lower resolution, yet has 5 wide.
Why would they do that?
I’m not buying this “leak”…

Throw the Verizon logo on the bottom bezel and I’ll buy it, no questions asked.
