Apparently, the time has come for the Google Nexus rumors to begin. Today, an alleged Google employee has passed a photo of what he claims is the LG Nexus 5 to Android and Me (via Ars Technica). The image shows a ridiculously dark and grainy apparition of a low-profile smartphone with a comparatively clear screen, displaying what appears to be Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pearce.

According to the source, Google will release the Nexus 5 in October 2013, and the company is still taking a look at the prototypes of a number of manufacturers. The device shown in the image above is purportedly the LG model, codenamed "Megalodon." The LG Nexus 5 device features a 5.2-inch OLED display at 1080p resolution. The rumored device is backed by a Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz processor, with 3GB of RAM.
The rear camera of the LG Nexus 5 is supposedly a 16MP OmniVision capable of recording 4K video at 30 frames-per-second, or 1080p video at 60FPS. The 2.1MP front-facing camera and stereo speakers are supported by a 3300mAh lithium polymer battery.
Of course, this image could very easily prove a hoax. The picture isn't exactly very clear, but then again, leaked images never are. And why the image from Watch Dogs? Maybe Google is planning to work with Ubisoft to feature the Nexus 5 in the mobile-centric features of the upcoming game?
