A LG service manual has surfaced on the web for a certain LG-D821 smartphone – seemingly the Nexus 5 – with details ranging from specifications to troubleshooting of each and every component of the smartphone.
The document (embedded below) lists that the smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3GHz complemented by 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. The specs in the service manual are in sync with earlier leaks which point to a similar set of features.
Some of the other specifications of the LG-D820 are:
- 4.05-inch screen
- Full HD 1080p display
- 8-megapixel OIS rear camera
- 1.3-megapixel front camera
- 2300mAh battery
- Micro-SIM slot
- NFC
- Wireless charging
- Standard sensors including gyroscope, pressure, and light among others.
We are inclined to take this leak with a grain of salt, but considering the detail in the document, we are forced to think otherwise. Even if it’s fake, someone has actually spent an awful lot of time to prepare it. LG itself being a part of this leak is highly unlikely.
There are a couple of things that stand out though! First it’s the Bluetooth version – it is listed as 3.0 in the day and age when 4.0 is the norm for any new smartphone. Further the document status is ‘draft.’ There could be a mistake on the part of Bluetooth version as Google isn’t likely to use an older version in its top notch smartphone.
Earlier leaks also point to the possibility of Google using MEMS based camera in Nexus 5 – a technology that is far superior and faster than current cameras used in smartphones and tablets. Chances are Google may also reveal is ‘Gem’ smartwatch alongside Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat.
