The Google Nexus 5 was finally announced today, after numerous leaks over the last few weeks, some of which from the company itself.
The LG-made smartphone is already on sale in the USA, and boasts Android 4.4 KitKat, and is priced at a slightly higher point than last year’s Nexus 4. But that’s no suprise seeing as how the specs have been souped up as well, boasting a 4.95 inch 1080p Gorilla Glass 3 display, 2.2Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, wireless charging (Qi) to charge the 2300 mAh battery, Slimport, LTE (in certain regions) Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and NFC. There’s also a 8 Megapixel camera at the back which features OIS as well as a gyro, and a 1.3 Megapixel camera at the front. Phew.
The design is back to plastic again sadly, letting go of the glass construction used last year. There’s also 16 or 32GB of internal memory, but no microSD card slot or removable battery. Android 4.4 brings about a couple changes as well, including the always-listening ‘OK Google’ command from the Moto X, as you can see in the new Nexus 5 commercial below:
On sale in the USA in both black and white colors for $349 (16GB) or $399 (32GB). Coming to India soon at a price of Rs 28,999 for the 16GB version, and Rs 32,999 for the 32GB version.
I gotta say, I am a big fan of the LG G2, and seeing as the Nexus 5 borrows so much from it spec-wise, this thing is going to be a beast!
