Last week, a mysterious LG device cleared the FCC dubbed the D820. It was immediately assumed it was the Nexus 5 since the back plate looked awfully similar to an unknown Nexus device that made a surprise appearance in a Google video. It seemed almost a lock that it would be the next Nexus, but @evleaks is raining on our parade by saying that it’s nothing more than a CDMA variant of the LG G2.
I’m willing to buy that, but it does seem strange that it would have not only different dimensions than the “normal” G2, but the camera lens is in a different spot. @evleaks didn’t produce an image of the D820, but he did show us the D821, which is supposedly identical. Unfortunately the backside isn’t shown.
If you remember, something similar to this happened before. Last month an image was leaked that was believed to be the Nexus 5, and the very next day, @evleaks pointed out that it was really the Optimus F9 II. Something fishy is going on here. Either way, I do believe the D820 isn’t the Nexus 5. I just don’t think the next Nexus will come with a Snapdragon 800.
