Into The leak this time were merciless. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming weapons of Google: the new Nexus and Android 4.4

is shortly to the official presentation of the Nexus 5 (or Nexus 4 2013), for someone, it is even a matter of hours. In any case, this time even more than others, it seems that the launch of the new Googlefonino will have little to unravel. Among the presentation event Android KitKat during which Google employees have become immortalized with their devices, the online publication of the service manual and now a video of up to 7 minutes the show in action, the next ace in the hole in Mountain View now we already know everything.

Meanwhile specifications. The most significant are the LCD IPS from 4.95 “to Full HD resolution, the processor Snapdragon 800 quad – core with Adreno 330 graphics co-processor and 2GB of RAM.
