evleaks backtracks: LG D820 might still be the LG Nexus 5

11 September, 2013

Here is an interesting turn of events. First we got lots of rumors LG will be once again manufacturing the next Google smartphone - the Nexus 5. Then we get to see the LG D820 leaking through the FCC, so many people decided this is indeed the Nexus 5.

Unfortunately, the usually very reliable evleaks tweeted the LG D820 is in fact just the CDMA version of the LG G2 falgship, not the next Nexus device.

Well, today evleaks has retracted his previous statement, saying that it looks like he was wrong.

Happy to say it looks like I was wrong about the LG D820/D821...

We guess this means the LG D820 is actually the Nexus 5. How about that?!

We'll know for sure next month when Google is expected to announce its next phone and chosen manufacturer.
