A couple of days back, a new firmware for Nexus 5 leaked online with a build version of KTU65 running on Android 4.4.3. The update was alleged to fix the camera problem and the battery drain issue.
According to the recent report from Myce, the latest Android 4.4.3 version with build number KTU83 has been sighted running on Nexus 5, which is code-named Hammerhead.
In addition, another Android 4.4.3 firmware with a build number KTU79 was spotted running on Nexus 7 (2013) model.
