22,500 LG G2's, worth $14 Million stolen from Indiana, United States

Phone thievery is nothing new, and this time the thieves set their eyes on a smartphone with it's hardware buttons placed on the back, including the volume up and down rockers with the power button in the middle of it, below the 13 megapixels primary camera, the 2013 flagship of the South Korean manufacturer Life's Good, the G2. Well this is an interesting case, 22,500 LG G2's are missing including the cargo truck from Indiana, United States.

It all started like this, at 6:30 PM this past Thursday, the cargo truck carrying 22,500 LG G2's went missing from a truck stop in Gary, Indiana, Stateside. According to the truck driver, he stopped his truck at the Gary truck stop for a bathroom break, and when he returned, there was no traces of the vehicle containing 14 Million US Dollars worth LG manufactured G2, which was heading it's way to Sprint stores in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, where the Sprint customers were expected to get the G2 refresh early next month.

The Indiana and Illinois police have already filed a report and started their investigation on the case along with the stateside Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

LG D820 is not the next Nexus 5, it is probably the CDMA variant of G2

We are sorry, Nexus 5 fans. We had brought out reports of an FCC filing, claiming to be Google's 2013 flagship, the Nexus 5.

But unfortunately, now we have reports and leaks claiming that this previously leaked FCC filing can be the CDMA variant of the South Korean's 2013 flagship, the LG G2. The previously showed up LG D820 can now be renamed to LG D821, where according to our tipster, evleaks quote like this in one of their latest tweet's, "Sorry Nexus fans: LG D820 is just a CDMA G2 variant."

The CDMA G2 will pack the same Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at 2.26GHz, 5.2-inches True HD IPS LCD display of 1080 x 1920 resolution, 16 and 32 gigabytes of internal storage options, 2GB RAM and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on board, but with CDMA (1x / EVDO Rev.A), 2G (GSM / EDGE), 3G (HSPA +42Mbps / HSPA +21Mbps) LTE (SVLTE, CSFB, CA, VoLTE, RCS, MIMO).

In either way, we are yet to confirm any of this leaks to be the real game, but we still have the possibilities of the previously talked about Google Nexus 5 to be unveiled next month, but the LG D821 is not the name we're looking for.
