A red Google Nexus 5 release date has been tipped for next week as the repeatedly leaked handset gets set for a February 4 launch.

The Google Nexus 5 has been officially unveiled following months of rumours and leaks, with the flagship phone becoming the first to run the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.

Google Nexus 5 Release Date and Price

The Google Nexus 8 has been tipped to launch later this year by upstream supply chain sources.

The Google Nexus 5 is on its way - possibly today - and weve been treated to a host of leaked images and Android 4.4 details to whet our appetites.


It looks as though several people around the world have got their hands on pre-release Nexus 5 handsets, with one enterprising self-starter taking to Reddit to do an AMA about it.

He described the handset for his eager audience: "[The handset] doesnt feel cheap like a Samsung device, feels great in the hand, its similar to holding a G2 but no volume controls [on the back]."

The price is right

He also claimed to be "99% certain" that the pricing would start at $349. Thats about £220 or AU$370.
And the question on everybodys lips: what does the Nexus 5 taste like? "Fresh plastic mixed with finger sweat."

As for KitKat, it sounds as though therell be some kind of cloud-based backup option and voice control.
Not long to wait until we find out weve been had: were expecting the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 to launch later on today.

The Google Nexus 5 is on the way and the search giant turn manufacturer has now confirmed the phone will launch the new Andoird 4.4 Kit Kat operating system.

With Google Nexus 5 release date rumours having kicked into overdrive in recent week, the next-generation flagship Android phone looks to sprinting towards an imminent arrival, with Google having slashed the price of last years Google Nexus 4 in order to clear stocks and make way for its new Samsung Galaxy S4 rival.

Set to line up alongside the recently unveiled new Nexus 7, the Google Nexus 5 will land with Android 4.4 in tow, while recent Google Nexus 5 leaks have claimed the phone will not only be manufacturered by LG, but feature a spec markedly similar to that of the LG G2. The phone has even been caught on camera at Googles HQ.

With the Google Nexus 5 release date now expected to be just a matter of weeks away, latest Google Nexus 5 rumours have suggested the phone will bring a larger screen, bumped up specs and a thinner form factor to boot.

Google Nexus 5 Release Date

Latest reports have pegged the Google Nexus 5 release date as October 31. Although not having come from official avenues, the tipped Halloween arrival would fit with past Nexus launches and see the Nexus 5 look to capitalise on the pre-Christmas shopping rush. Whats more, it would avoid landing too close to the September 20 iPhone 5S release date.

Claimed unnamed sources have stated: “The next Nexus phone should arrive sometime in October, possibly around October 31." This would see the phone land just weeks after the LG G2 release date.

Although there has, as yet, been no official word from Google as to when the Nexus 5 will be released, this is just one of several reports which have suggested that an October arrival is on the cards, given added backing to the claims. Given the Nexus 5 could be just weeks from arrival, the recent Nexus 4 price cut would suggest the search giant is already preparing for its next flagship phone. Whats more, retailers have already started pulling the Google Nexus 4 from shelves.

In May, both Phones 4u and Carphone Warehouse reportedly stopped selling the Nexus 4, then in July the Nexus 4 disappeared from the Carphone Warehouse site entirely. Having a quick scan of all the UK network providers, the Nexus 4 is conspicuously absent, only listed as out of stock on the O2 website, and completely missing from the rest.

This could suggest a Google Nexus 5 release date may be upon us earlier than October, but of course this is just speculation on our part, especially as the Nexus 4 is still available to pruchase on the Google Play store although at a reduced price.

Google Nexus 5 Specs

The Google Nexus 5 will improve on the existing specs of the Nexus 4 with recent rumours pointing to a considerable jump in performance. A 5.2-inch OLED 1920 x 1080p Full HD display is said to be making the cut, upgrading the current 4.7-inch 1280 x 768p resolution screen.

Processor-wise the Google Nexus 5 should pack a 2.3GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor with an impressive 3GB of RAM. There should also be the option of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, probably lacking microSD card expansion like the existing flagship.

With a hearty 3300mAH Lithium Polymer battery reportedly in tow, the Google Nexus 5 should also have a 16-megapixel rear camera and Full 1080p HD video recording capabilities as well. Up front there is expected to be a 2.1-megapixel snapper for video calling and all those selfies.

As with the Nexus 4, we expect the next Google smartphone to have NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, but with 4G LTE compatibility added.

At the start of July, it was tipped that the soon-to-be-announced LG G2 will share similar specs with the Google Nexus 5. The official LG unveiling is occurring on August 7, so you could see a preview of the Google Nexus 5 hardware then.

Google Nexus 5 News

Google Nexus 5 pictures have not been appearing everyday unlike the constantly leaking shots of the iPhone 5C. The phone has been caught on camera once though, with a Google employee captured taking a picture with the phone outside the companys Mountain View HQ (above).

Having worked with Google to create the Nexus 4, LG stated back in May that it wouldn’t be producing the Nexus 5, preferring to focus on promoting its own branded smartphone lines rather than stock Android devices. “The Nexus 4 was a great success despite the production problems for us and Google,” said Kim Wong, VP of LG Mobile in Europe. “However, we do not need such a marketing success again.”

The South Korean manufacturer believes that the launch of the Google Nexus 5 under the LG umbrella would detract from its own line of smartphones, especially the recently unveiled LG G2.

Despite LG stating that it would not be partnering with Google to produce the Nexus 5 despite a strong relationship, latest reports have seemingly put LG back in the picture. Whats more, LG representatives have hinted heavily to TrustedReviews that they will be in the driving seat of the Nexus 5, teasing that we will be seeing the phone "very soon."

Elsewhere, further Google Nexus 5 rumours have put production duties in the hands of Asus, which already produces its Nexus 7 tablet, or Samsung, with whom Google worked with for the Nexus 10.

The latest rumours suggest that the Nexus 5 will actually be made by Motorola, a company which is a fairly recent acquisition of Google itself. The new tip comes from a notoriously accurate leakster by the name of Taylor Wimberley, who wrote a Google Plus post stating the Nexus 5 would arrive in Q4 produced by Motorola.

"Motorola will release a Nexus smartphone in Q4 (that is not the Moto X)," wrote Wimberley.

Rather than introduced a Google Edition Moto X, it seems that Motorola will join together with parent company Google to produce the Nexus 5 this year.

However, completely contradicting these claims is the latest rumour that LG will build the Nexus 5 smartphone after all.

According to the South Korean MyDrivers website on August 13, the Nexus 5 will not only be made by LG but also be designed on the recently unveiled LG G2.

The site suggested that the Nexus 5 would land with a Full HD 1080p 5.2-inch screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 10-megapixel camera and 16/32GB of internal storage.

Google Nexus 5 Rumours

Although it was widely thought that the Google Nexus 5 would be the first device to run Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, especially as Google chose to launch the new Nexus 7 with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, the arrival of Android 4.4 Kit Kat has changed these beliefs.

While Android 4.3 introduced several new features like Restricted Profiles, Android 4.4 is expected to be a more comprehensive overhaul, potentially showcasing the processing prowess of the Nexus 5 when it launches later this year.

Google Nexus 5 Price

Seeing as Google chose to stay close to the price points set by the first-generation Nexus 7 with its new 7-inch slate, we expect the search engine giant to follow the same path with the Nexus 5.

Currently, the SIM-Only Nexus 4 with 8GB of storage is priced at £239, with the 16GB version offered at £279.

The Full HD screen may well push these price tags a little higher, but Google would be unwise to increase them by much in order to keep the Nexus 5 attractively affordable, especially in comparison to flagships offerings from its rivals, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5 or HTC One.

Following the Nexus 5 unveiling, Google has confirmed that an Android 4.4 update will be rolled out ‘in the coming weeks’ to bring KitKat to Google Nexus 7 and certain Samsung Galaxy S4 users.

Google launched its much awaited its latest flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5.
The Nexus 5 comes with a 5-inch full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels display with a pixel density of 445 ppi, an 8MP rear-facing camera with Optical Image Stabilisation, and Android 4.4 KitKat, the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system.

So how does it stack up against the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c? Here’s a detailed comparison table where we have compared the tech specs of the LG Nexus 5, iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.

So going purely by the tech specs and reviews, iPhone 5s includes features such as the Touch ID that is not available in the Nexus 5 or iPhone 5c, comes with a much better camera and is available in 64GB storage option. On the other hand, the Nexus 5 comes with a bigger 4.95-inch screen with significantly higher pixel density of 445 ppi, double the RAM, NFC, support for 802.11 ac, and more importantly is available for almost half the cost of the iPhone 5s.

If budget is a constraint then there is no debate about which smartphone you should buy. The same is true if you’re looking for a smartphone with a bigger screen. When it comes to Android vs iOS, it boils down to user preference. The tech specs don’t usually give you the complete story, so it may be a good idea to visit a local store and get a first hand experience.

The rumoured red edition of the Google Nexus 5 appears to be a step closer to reality following the leak of an official-looking press render.


Following multiple blurry-cam and unboxing leaks over the last couple of weeks, that man @evleaks appears to have gotten hold of the best look yet.

The images shows the device with a red rear casing and earpiece, but the faceplate itself retains its black bezel.

The Red Nexus 5 has been tipped to launch on February 4, following the leak of an internal document from U.S. network Sprint.

Strong

The Nexus 5, crafted by LG and and also available in black and white, has been a big success for Google, continuing its growing hardware momentum.

It was Googles best-selling device of the last quarter with the company citing "very strong" sales in last weeks earnings call.

It has proved an attractive option for smartphone because of its agreeable price-point compared to handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One.

Nexus 5 has also proved popular among Android enthusiasts who value the raw version of the software and the immediate updates when Google refreshes the operating system.

Claimed Google Nexus 10 2014 pictures have leaked, with images of the next-generation Android tablet making a premature appearance online.
