We have been hearing rumours for quite some time that LG will be the official Nexus manufacturer for a second year in a row.

Recently, an alleged LG branded device with model number D820 popped up at the FCC website and appeared to have the same dimensions as the mysterious Nexus smartphone that was spotted in the Android KitKat video released by Google.

However, @evleaks is the latest to suggest that the rumoured LG D820 is just a CDMA variant of the flagship, the G2 and is not a Nexus successor. The tweet said, "Sorry Nexus fans: LG D820 is just a CDMA G2 variant." The tweet by the notorious phone leaker clears the doubt about a possible Nexus 4 successor being spotted at various certification sites. However, the serial leaker has not mentioned anything about the Nexus 4 successor.

Earlier on Monday, another LG branded device popped up, this time on the Bluetooth SIG website. The listing revealed a device with model number LG-D821 which LTE enabled device. The SIG listing unfortunately did not offer anything new and doesn't shed any light on the internals of the device.

Previously, a Vietnamese site, Tinhte.vn claimed that the next Nexus smartphone - called Nexus 5 - will be based on the LG G2, though it obviously would not be an exact copy.

Rumoured specifications of the next Nexus smartphone include a 5.2-inch full-HD display, Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3GHz and 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. The alleged Nexus successor can be expected to run the latest Android OS, the KitKat (Android 4.4) which might be launched with the device.
