Even more information appears to have been leaked regarding Google’s next smartphone, the Nexus 5. This time, it’s come in the form of a YouTube video and photos posted to the Google+ social networking site.

Last week, a leaked smartphone manual supposedly revealed the technical specifications of the forthcoming Nexus 5. Now, we appear to have been given a pretty good idea of what Google’s smartphone will look like when it is released.

A 7 minute YouTube video emerged over the weekend which shows somebody giving an overview of what appears to be a pre-production Nexus 5. The video, entitled “gn5 hands on”, provides a detailed look at the phone’s exterior, the homescreen, web browsing and a number of other features. A video is also played on the phone which, if the previously leaked manual is to be believed, showcases the Nexus 5’s 1080p screen.

More recently, as was pointed out by androidandme.com, Google+ user Anton Kuznetsov uploaded four photos which seem to show the Nexus 5. The photos, which are captioned “#Nexus5 – From Russia with Love :)”, show a smartphone from four different angles, most notably from the back where the word “Nexus” can be seen.  

Google has not yet confirmed a release date for the Nexus 5, although rumours are circulating that it will be before the end of this month.
