Leaked video spills the beans on Google's Nexus 5 smartphone prototype

You know a new Nexus smartphone is around the corner when photo and video leaks suddenly appear online. The video above is seven minutes long and gives a comprehensive first look at what the Nexus 5 looks like in prototype stage.
