An alleged photo of the rumoured Nexus 5 is spreading like wildfire on the Internet teasing many Nexus fans on the nearing Google Nexus 5 release date.

With the recent outing of the improved Nexus 7 and 4.3 Jelly Bean OS, many Google fans are also anticipating the imminent Google Nexus 5 release date, which is still in murky waters as the search engine giant keeps its mouth shut on the ongoing rumours about the device.

The photo caught the attention of many smartphone users due to its futuristic design. The handset sports sharp corners and rounded sides. Thus, the device is almost oblong in shape.

The Google Nexus 5 features that came along in the new found render include 5.2 inches full HD screen display; quad core Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz; 3GB RAM; 16MP rear camera with OmniVision sensor and 2.1MP front camera; and 3300 mAh battery.

Google Nexus 5 release date is expected to happen sometime around October along with a new Android operating system.

However, many waiting fans were disappointed as the alleged specs LG G2 were leaked on the Internet last week. They thought that the specs of LG G2 can provide some hints on the upcoming Google Nexus 5 features and.

Some of the LG G2 specs are: quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.3GHz paired with 2GB of RAM; 13-megapixel camera; 2,610mAh Li ion battery; Android 4.3 Jelly Bean; and 5.2-inch 1080p HD with a slim 2mm bezel surrounding it.

But it is still unconfirmed whether LG will work again with Google in making the successor of LG Nexus 4. The two companies entered in a blaming game last year due to the slow and limited supply of immensely popular Nexus 4 handsets.

Vice President of LG Mobile in Europe Won Kim said in a statement: "The Nexus 4 was a great success despite the production problems for us and Google. However we do not need such a marketing success again."

Google still has not announced yet which company will make the next Nexus smartphone and when is the Google Nexus 5 release date.
