Leaked video spills the beans on Google's Nexus 5 smartphone prototype

You know a new Nexus smartphone is around the corner when photo and video leaks suddenly appear online. The video above is seven minutes long and gives a comprehensive first look at what the Nexus 5 looks like in prototype stage. The video sees the device in varioun angles and it moves through various apps. One thing to note is that it seems to be running Android 4.4 KeyLimePie, which is an earlier iteration of the software since it is now called KitKat. Being a prototype, it is hard to tell whether the actual Nexus 5 will look anything like the prortotype, which looks rather bare and stark in comparison to the LG G2, supposedly the device it is based on.

Lumia 2520 Windows tablet imminent as per recent leaks

Nokia World is taking place in Abu Dhabi on November 22nd and looks like we're slated to see a Windows 8 tablet among other things. Serial Twitter  tipster @evleaks has revealed a render of the purported Lumia 2520, which is the first Windows powered tablet from Espoo, Finland and something the company had likely been working on before Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile business.

Nokia already makes the best Windows Phone smartphones in the market so its entry into the tablet space is interesting specially since Microsoft recently launched the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 devices. Where will the Lumia 2520 (pictured above in Cyan but also leaked elsewhere in Red) fit in terms of specs and pricing? All will be revealed soon enough.
