And now according to a recent report, the Nexus 5 has turned up at the Brazilian equivalent of the FCC, which could mean that Google are planning a global launch for the device.
The Google Nexus 5 will apparently come with a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, Bluetooth 4.0, Wireless charging and dual band WiFi. We are expecting the Google Nexus 5 to be made official some time in October, possibly on the 14th of October.

The Nexus 5 is rumored to feature a 5-inch full HD display, which would offer a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

In terms of camera capabilities, the Nexus 5 is rumored to sport an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

The appearance of the Nexus 5 at the Brazilian equivalent of the FCC suggests that Google is planning a global launch for the device. This would mean that the Nexus 5 would be available in multiple markets around the world, allowing more users to experience the latest Android smartphone from Google.
We are eagerly awaiting the official announcement from Google, which is expected to take place in October. The Nexus 5 is shaping up to be a highly anticipated device, with a combination of powerful hardware, the latest software, and a sleek design.
