First spotted by the folks at Android Police, this purported Nexus 5 hands-on video from Smartphones.sfr is seven minutes long and includes the clearest look at the phone and its hardware to date.

The device is running ‘Key Lime Pie,’ which was the original code name for ‘KitKat,’ the controversially named next flavor of Google’s Android operating system.

That would make sense because, although Google announced KitKat (Android 4.4) in September, it is still to provide a launch date for the software — bringing it to a new device would certainly give it momentum out of the gate.

This is all speculation for now, but, with two leaks emerging this week, the pieces of the puzzle are seemingly coming together.
