Googler Left Nexus 5 In A Bar

A Googler walks into a bar could be a great opening line for a joke, unless of course you are the Google employee who left a prototype for the Nexus 5 behind long enough for spy videos to be released online.

In late August a video of the new Google device surfaced on YouTube and it showcased the device and what is believed to be the Google KitKat operating system. We have now learned that the device was left alone for a short period of time in a bar.

According to 9to5Google the Google employee left the smartphone unattended for a short period of time while going to the bathroom. A bar employee grabbed the device and snagged a few quick videos.

The device was locked so only the externals were clearly shown but that was enough for Google to demand that the Nexus 5 video be pulled from YouTube and other video sites.

We can combine the phones look with a recent FCC filing to learn most of the hardware details about the device. The Google Nexus 5 features an LG-made design alongside a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, 5.2-inch display and 4G LTE support.

At this time we pretty much know everything about the Google Nexus 5 other than the release date and pricing. Although we assume it will start at a standard $199 price point.

I thought the entire iPhone 4 bar fiasco taught employees to watch their prototype smartphones like a hawk. Apparently I was wrong.

Are you going to be in line waiting for the Google Nexus 5 or has the new iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C already made up your mind?
