Just when you thought the Nexus 5 couldn’t be any worse-kept of a secret, it turns out Google accidentally listed the phone in its online store.

The listing is down now, of course. But Engadget snagged one key detail: $350 for a 16 GB model, presumably unlocked. That’d be the same price as last year’s 16 GB Nexus 4. (An 8 GB Nexus 4 was also available last year for $300, but the Nexus 5 will have a 32 GB option, probably for $400.)

As for other specs, we’re looking at a 4.95-inch 1080p display, 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.2-megapixel front facing camera and 4G LTE. Those are some nice specs for a little over half the price of a typical unlocked device, and it’ll run pure Android, presumably the upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat.

Between the leaked videos, service manuals and countless other rumors, we know pretty much everything about the Nexus 5. All we need is for Google to admit that it exists, and let people buy it.
