The Nexus 5 pricing has been the subject of many rumors, all of which can be put to rest now that Google has made the handset official. The handset is listed now in the Google Play Store, where we see that many of the rumors has the price spot-on or very nearly so, and now […]
Last night, a long bit of details on Android 4.4 KitKat appeared online via a confidential document that has leaked, and a few hours later on this fine Halloween Google rolled out the red carpet for the Nexus 5 running the next OS iteration. We’ll be seeing the Nexus 5 on November 1, and not […]
Finally, the long-awaited
     |
Google today took wraps off its latest smartphone, the much-anticipated Nexus 5. In addition to being the fastest Nexus phone yet, it’s also slimmer and better looking than previous models.
The Nexus 5 measures in at just 8.59mm thick, just a millimeter thicker than the iPhone 5S. But the Nexus 5 has a substantially bigger 2300 mAH battery and a large 4.95-inch screen.
The phone offers up to 17 hours of talk time, or 8.5 hours of Internet browsing on Wi-Fi, or 7 hours on 4G LTE. Its display offers full 1080p resolution, and is covered with durable Gorilla Glass 3.
Under the hood, the Nexus 5 sports a fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, running at 2.3 GHz, with graphics powered by an Adreno 330 GPU running at 450MHz. It’s got an 8MP rear camera with built-in optical image stabilization, as well as a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video chats. Google also claims the camera offers improved daylight photos as well as crisp night time shots with minimal noise.
The Nexus 5 comes with Android 4.4 “KitKat” preinstalled, and like other Google phones, will be the first to get updates to new versions of the Android OS. Pricing for the Nexus 5 is $349(USD) with 16GB of storage, or $399 with 32GB. The phone is available in either white or black, and is available starting today over at the Google Play store.
It’s a Happy Halloween today as Google releases information on the Nexus 5, their newest in a line of devices running with their own brand of pure Android. This device works with Android 4.4 KitKat, a cross-branding effort with Nestle aimed directly at this candy-laden holiday. Release of this smartphone is preceded by details about […]
Today the Google Nexus 5 has been made official, readied for the Google Play store with LG as a manufacturer and a two-tier system in place. This smartphone works with a 4.95-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel display (that’s Full HD 1080p) with 445 PPI (pixels per inch). Inside you’ll find Android 4.4 KitKat readied for […]
Google’s Nexus 5 is not a real thing yet, but at this point it’s a foregone conclusion; Google will update its Android reference smartphone, which comes with the clean stock version of its mobile operating system, and it’ll probably do it today. Which is why it makes perfect sense that the leaks are now flying fast and furious.
The Nexus 5 will reportedly be unveiled later today, sometime around 8 AM PST according to a report from GottaBeMobile, and it’ll begin shipping tomorrow, November 1 with orders starting immediately. Whether or not it happens right at that time, the case remains that we’re probably going to see the phone today at some point, since a number of earlier reports also indicated Oct. 31 as the time for its official debut.
Google’s Nexus 5 is likely sourced from hardware partner LG, just like the Nexus 4, and it is said to have a 4.95-inch, 1080p display, with a Snapdragon 800 processor running at 2.3GHz, 2GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of storage, an 8 megapixel rear camera/1.3 megapixel front, and Android 4.4 KitKat. It’ll likely be the first KitKat device, which is a software update that brings a lot of refinements, along with replacing the stock SMS app with Google Hangouts now that it has SMS integration, we’re hearing.
According to one T-Mobile employee, the Nexus 5 will be available at that carrier the same day it’s announced, and will cost roughly the same as the Nexus 4 did on T-Mo last year (which is to say, at a considerable markup). Google has also updated the look and design of the Play Devices web store, prompting some to note that this could be in preparation for a Nexus 5 listing.
Google’s Nexus 5 seems like it’ll be a match for the current crop of top Android smartphones, at least on paper, and it’s a handsome device if early render and photo leaks are to be believed. Price and international availability remain the biggest question marks at this point, as well as the exact timing of availability, but we’ll be sure to bring you more as soon as we get any official info from Google.
With the Nexus 5 / KitKat release nearly upon it, it’s become time again to take a look at what we’ll likely be seeing from Google as early as tomorrow. With Google’s team-up with Nestle for the release of the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system upgrade – alongside several tips from independent sources – it […]
While you’ll not be seeing one whole heck of a lot of new details appearing on the operating system known as Android 4.4 KitKat in the following teaser trailer, you will find entertainment in abundance. Google and Nestle appear to be rolling out one – if not a whole series – of video advertisements for […]
