The Nexus 5 could ultimately not be manufactured by LG - Android Help

Nexus 5 is going to become one of the smartphones with more unknowns surrounding its release. So far, we had heard that both Motorola and LG might be the manufacturers, and even the latest data pointed to the South Korean company, which was certified smartphone. It seems that there was a Nexus 5 from LG, but a variant of the LG G2.

The information comes from @ evleaks. What we know so far is that there was a smartphone from the South Korean company that seemed to be the new Nexus 5. He also had characteristics very similar to the LG G2. This is logical, since in reality the flagships of the two companies would look much as happened with the Nexus 4 and the LG Optimus G. This smartphone has passed FCC certification was the LG D820. In fact, the LG D801 is the name of LG G2, so fit that it was a hypothetical Nexus 5. However, today we know what is actually the new LG D820 and the D821, a version compatible with CDMA networks. These networks are developed by Qualcomm that are widely used in the United States. We would be talking about the LG G2 that have many American carriers.

However, the Nexus 5 will launch in not too long is something that seems obvious. And after the Nexus 4 has been lowered in the store, and is exhausted in its version of 200 euros. Moreover, the secrecy of Google when questioned by the press, and the precision with which they respond is what makes us think that there is indeed a Nexus 5 which is about to be launched. If not an LG, most likely it’s Motorola that is creating the new terminal. This, in turn, would fit with the words of a spokesman for the American company after the launch of Motorola Moto X, who said new smartphones come to Europe before the end of the year.

Still, we can not rule out LG as the manufacturer. Moreover, as were images of a possible Nexus 5 manufactured by LG that was used by one of the employees of Google. The fact that the LG G820 is not the Nexus 5 does not mean they have another model that is almost ready. In any case, it seems that will have to wait. There is no doubt that Google wants to launch is key in the fight against Apple, who could launch their new smartphones tomorrow.
