The Google Nexus 5 handset has yet to be officially announced, although some believe that the device, along with Android 4.4 KitKat’s release, will be revealed at Google’s Tel-Aviv event on the 5th of November. In any case it seems that over in Canada, local carrier, Wind Mobile, has put up a pre-registration page for the upcoming handset which shows off the device’s rendering which is pretty much in line with what we have seen in previous leaks. The pre-reg page also shows a spec sheet of the phone that also corroborates earlier rumors.

It should be noted that the page has since been pulled, either because the information is wrong or because Wind Mobile had gotten ahead of itself (we’re guessing it’s probably the latter), but the spec sheet lists a 4.95” Full HD Gorilla Glass 3 display with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor on board. It will also come with 2GB of RAM and users can choose between a 16GB or a 32GB option with an 8MP rear-facing OIS (optical image stabilization) camera to top things off. It will also most likely run on Android 4.4 KitKat. A recent sighting on Google Play has revealed that the price of the 16GB model will be $349, but we guess we will just have to wait for the 5th of November announcement to see if the rumors pan out.

Canadian Carrier Launches Nexus 5 Pre-Registration Page original content from Ubergizmo.

We’ve yet to hear from Google about the launch event of Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat. Obviously the primary event is going to take place here in the U.S., probably in California, but it appears that there’s a separate press conference planned in Tel-Aviv, Israel on November 5th. It is not immediately evident if Google is going to take part in this press conference, but LG appears to be involved. The invites show off a generic looking smartphone with a KitKat bar stuffed in it, its most likely a hint of what to expect from the press conference.

It may simply be a regional announcement of Google’s brand new smartphone built in collaboration with LG, and the internet search giant’s latest update to its mobile platform. Ronlight Digital, a distributor of LG products in Israel, confirms that the press conference is related to Android 4.4. So there’s really no guess work involved here, with regards to what can be expected from the press conference. Though it does point towards the possibility of an official announcement coming from Google prior to November 5th. Just recently it was rumored that the Nexus 5 will be announced on November 1st, Android 4.4 is going to be announced alongside the smartphone. [Image via Gadgety]

Nexus 5 And Android 4.4 Being Announced Separately In Tel-Aviv On November 5th original content from Ubergizmo.

There’s been a lot of speculation about Google’s next generation Nexus smartphone. We’ve seen leaked images, renders and even heard about the specifications it is supposed to tout. What we don’t know up till now is when the internet search giant is formally going to unveil it. If a new rumor is to be believed, the smartphone just might be made official on November 1st. Moments ago, @evleaks tweeted a press render of the white Nexus 5 with “11/1,” which may possibly be an indicator of the announcement date.

Both Google and LG have not made any official announcement as yet regarding this smartphone, so it is still best to digest rumors with a grain of salt. Just earlier this week we picked up on a rumor which claimed that the announcement is going to be made on October 31st. It was also rumored that the smartphone will become available a week later in Canada. Google is obviously going to sell the device through the Play Store, and we’ve already seen an image of the device being pulled off the Store. There doesn’t seem to be any confusion about the design of the Nexus 5 anymore, or its existence for that matter. It is now just a matter of waiting on Google to make an announcement, hopefully it’ll do that on November 1st and we’ll not have to deal with the rumors anymore.

White Nexus 5 Render Leaks, Might Come November 1st original content from Ubergizmo.

While we have seen many leaks of the upcoming Google Nexus 5 device, a launch date is still up in the air, with some believing that an October launch will happen, while others think that November launch is more likely. In any case according to the folks at Mobile Syrup, they claim that according to their tipsters, they believe that the Google Nexus 5 handset will see a launch on the 31st of October and will be available for purchase via Google Play. For our friends and readers in Canada, the Nexus 5 is rumored to make its way to Canadian carriers about a week later and you guys can expect to get your hands on the device on the 7th or 8th of November. Of course since neither Google or LG has announced anything yet, take it with a grain of salt for now.

It is widely believed that Google will launch Android 4.4 KitKat and the Nexus 5 side-by-side, and last we heard, KitKat was rumored for a 28th October release which does not tie in with the recent rumor, but like we said, take it with a grain of salt for now. Given the Nexus 5’s rumored 5” Full HD display and quad-core chipset, it is not surprising that many are looking forward to the handset and with October coming to an end, we guess we won’t have to wait much longer to see if the rumors pan out.

Nexus 5 Rumored For 31st October Release original content from Ubergizmo.

Do you remember how we talked about the Nexus 5 which came in white earlier this morning? Well, it seems that the leaked photo of the device is apparently untrue, as it has been discovered to be nothing more than someone performing a wee bit of color manipulation from the render of the originally black Nexus 5. Of course, while this has happened, we should not close the door to the possibility of the folks over at Google from introducing an all white Nexus 5 when the time arrives, or who knows? It might even be a two-tone (white back and black front) smartphone as depicted in an earlier leak, just like what happened with its predecessor, the Nexus 4.

Apparently, there was a tip off that pointed to images which depicted the Nexus 5 press render in a variety of colors such as purple, orange, red, and silver. Android Police did have something to say about the situation, claiming that the pure white Nexus 5 is actually the black version with inverted colors on everything save for the camera lens and flash. Ah well, we can always hope, can’t we, for a company to actually introduce a color that consumers want in the long run? Would you want to see a white Nexus 5 hit the market?
