For the stubborn disbelievers who think the Google Nexus 5 launch is far far away, the phone has been leaked through the Play Store itself. And guess what? We have a price for the device too. It was found nesting between the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 with a $349 tag tacked to it.
But don’t bother going online to check it out for yourself. Google has been quick to put a bag over it and haul it away from eager fans. The smartphone is expected to be revealed on October 28 along with Android 4.4 or KitKat. So here’s a look at all we’ve heard about the handset until now.
What we think we know about the Nexus 5:
– The phone will debut with Google’s latest OS, Android 4.4. Obviously.
– It may have a quad core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 chip with Adreno 330 graphics.
– A 1080p full HD display measuring at least 4.9” is expected to take up the front.
– 4LTE, not more than 32GB internal storage, an 8MP rear sensor and a 1.2MP camera?
Engadget reports than when the 16GB Nexus 5 was still up on the Google Play Store, there was no clickable link that led to the whole product page. Only the Nexus 4 can be seen on the said web page at present.
Apart from the smartphone, a refreshed version of the Nexus 10 tablet is also speculated to be in the pipeline. If this is true, we’re not sure if it will make its debut along with the Nexus 5. So what makes everyone think October 28 is the D-Day?
Here’s where you can go for the long explanation. Now here’s the short explanation – the Nexus 4 was unveiled on October 29, 2012.
