In the same series of “oops” events that have made the LG Nexus 5 a totally “unsurprising” device, Google briefly listed the smartphone on the Play Store.

Although the handset was quickly pulled, the “harm” has already been done, as many people have seen the smartphone, which has been priced at $349 (€255).

The folks over at Engadget have been tipped by one of their readers that Nexus 5 has been inadvertently listed in all its glory on Google Play Store, along with a price tag attached to it.

The 16GB version of the smartphone was priced at $349 (€255), but we already know that Google is likely to launch a 32GB model as well, which will be priced a bit higher.

Under the Nexus 5, Google posted the following line, which is probably how it will be marketed at launch: “Capture the everyday and the epic in fresh new ways.” Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
