More Nexus 5 images leak, Sprint version confirmed

The oft-pictured Google Nexus 5 built by LG has been making the rounds quite a bit over the past several months. It left little to the imagination in terms of appearance, specifications, software version, and even pricing. The only thing that's still ambiguous is the release date.
