The Google Nexus 5 may not have a release date for India as yet, but it does have a launch window and users who cannot wait to get a taste of KitKat will be glad to know that it is arriving sometime in the fourth week of this month. But here’s the bad news. This has not been announced officially and the details have cropped up through Snapdeal, an e-retailer which has put the gadget up on pre-order.
The Nexus 5 has already been made available in the US and some other countries and the search engine giant doesn’t seem to want to waste time in bringing it to India. Its product page had gone live on the Play store the day the phone was introduced and revealed the price for the subcontinent as well. Snapdeal hasn’t mentioned for how much it will be selling the next generation Google contender, but the online store wants you to pay Rs 999 in advance to book it.
A list of the main specifications of the phone has been jotted down below:
– 5-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen
– 1920 x 1080p resolution
– Corning Gorilla Glass 3
– Android KitKat 4.4 OS
– 8MP rear-facing camera with LED flash
– 1.3MP front-mounted snapper
– 2.3GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
– 2GB of RAM
– 16GB or 32GB onboard memory
– 2300mAh battery
The 16GB Google Nexus 5 officially costs Rs 29,000 and its 32GB variant is priced at Rs 33,000 at the Play store. As of now, only the 16GB variant is up for pre-order and it can be grabbed in both black and white shades.
