Further a new walkthrough video featuring the alleged prototype of the Nexus 5 has also surfaced. The video has been posted by gn5 and shows some of the preloaded apps that were seen on previous versions of Android like Live wallpapers, Chrome, YouTube, calendar, among others. It also showcases the build of the Nexus 5, however, it is definitely an early build, or prototype, as there is no branding visible.
While the video also shows the storage of the device which has 16GB out of which only 12GB is user-accessible and the smartphone's about section that reveals Nexus 5 running Key Lime Pie. The leak is accompanied with the speculation that the Nexus 5 will feature a rubberised back, just like the prototype version shown. The video has been shot with phone supporting French language and not much could be deciphered.
As previously reported, Google is expected to unveil the next Nexus smartphone and Android 4.4 KitKat, the new iteration of Google's mobile operating system on October 15, as per a recent report.
