Another photo, new details on LG Nexus 4 emerge

Considering the device isn't even officially acknowledged yet, there's a surprising amount of information available about the LG Nexus 4.

What's likely the new flagship Android device first popped up in early October, when it was rumored that the LG Nexus 4 (then known as the LG Optimus G Nexus) would appear alongside Google's Android 4.2 update in November.

Since then, multiple sources have suggested that the device will go by LG Nexus 4, and supposed photos of the LG Nexus phone (here's some more) and hands-on reports have emerged as well.

On Friday, new details, along with another photo, emerged once again.

@evleaks at it again

The Twitter handle @evleaks has shed light on devices ranging from the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 to, more recently, the HTC One X+.

So it was no surprise that the latest LG Nexus 4 leak came by way of the @evleaks Twitter account as well.

The photo appears to show a simple view of the back of the LG Nexus 4, and it looks to match earlier images.

More importantly, the details in the tweet reveal some previously unknown data about the device's measurements: it reportedly weighs in at 139 grams and measures 9.1 millimeters, with a 4.7-inch screen.

Those details, as well as the 1.5GHz APQ8064 quad-core processor, 1280x768 resolution, 2GB of memory, 8-megapixel camera and 8GB-16GB of storage mentioned in the tweet, support previous rumors about the LG Nexus 4.

The @evleaks tweet also mentions a 2,100mAh battery and a 1.3-megapixel front camera.

As was previously reported, the LG Nexus 4 sticks closely to the LG Optimus G's innards, while apparently bearing a striking external resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

With a Google Android hardware announcement scheduled for Oct. 29, an official unveiling of the LG Nexus 4 seems just around the corner, so all may soon be revealed.
