Nexus 5 Allegedly Hits The FCC

Rumors of a new Nexus 5 have been floating around ever since Google put up their Android 4.4 KitKat video, where a mysterious handset was spotted in the hands of a Google employee which many have already stepped forward to figure out it could very well be the forthcoming LG Nexus 5. Well, here we are with whispers of what might be the Nexus 5 according to the folks over at the FCC.

This particular device happens to carry the moniker of D820, where it is said to also come with NFC and Qi wireless charging capability, according to the picture revealed. Considering how both NFC and Qi wireless charging capability are features that were emphasized in last year’s Nexus 4, so it would not be surprising either to see both features in the upcoming Nexus smartphone edition. Do bear in mind that we are throwing many assumptions here, and if this were to be the new Nexus device, it would come with a rather bumper harvest of cellular support including LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17, 25, 26 and 41 in addition to EVDO rev A, quadband GSM and EDGE, pentaband HSPA+, and dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 B, G and N connectivity. If we were to translate that to normal English, it would mean the alleged Nexus 5 will boast of full GSM support, support for LTE on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.
