Ukrainian operator suggests Nexus 5 will have a nano-SIM slot

After the countless leaks and rumors about the
upcoming Nexus 5 smartphone, one critical detail
was still missing - the SIM card slot. What no
rumor monger bothered with, Ukrainian telecom
operator, Life :) seems to have put their finger on.
According to the disclaimer on Life :) website, the
Nexus 5 will indeed feature the nano-SIM card
slot, much like the iPhone 5, the newer iPhones
and even the Moto X. (Read more: Nexus 5
updates).
The disclaimer says, “Плануєте придбати
iPhone5S, iPhone5c, Nexus5 чи смартфон з
Android 4.4? Обирайте nano-sim від Life:)”,
which roughly translates to “Planning to buy
iPhone5S, iPhone5c, Nexus5 or smartphone with
Android 4.4? Choose nano-sim from Life :)”
Surely, Life :) would not have mentioned the
Nexus 5 specifically in the disclaimer, if they did
not have confirmation regarding the same,
because the smartphone isn’t on sale yet.
It is all about the SIM card size, now!
Interestingly, the disclaimer also mentions
Android 4.4 KitKat in the same sentence, which
could now lead to speculation whether a nano-
SIM slot would now be the way forward for newer
Android smartphones, at least the flagship
devices. The fact that Motorola sent out the Moto
X with a nano-SIM slot does give that argument
considerable amount of weight.
