New leaked shots of LG Nexus show KitKat startup screen, other details

Earlier this month images from FCC filings showed what appeared to be Google’s LG-made Nexus 5 following the device first leaking in Google’s promotional video for Android 4.4 KitKat. Today we’ve received the images above showing what looks to be the Nexus 5 in the wild, and it looks identical to pre-production units floating through the FCC and elsewhere. The tipster also sent along the videos below, which could give us a glimpse at Android 4.4 KitKat running on the Nexus 5, although it looks like the bootup from Google Play Edition phones.

The device in the images was apparently left charging unsupervised by a Google employee at a bar (yeah, lol) where an employee of the bar was able to snap the photos and short videos…

Previous leaks and FCC filings have pointed to a device based off LG’s recently introduced LG G2 with a Snapdragon 800 processor, a 5-inch display, and LTE support for AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
