Nexus 5 coming from LG

Tipped to launch in the fourth quarter, the Nexus 5 is said to be the first handset to carry Android Key Lime Pie. The Google Nexus 5 is expected to land from LG for a second year in a row, and be loosely based on the G2 flagship. The device is also notable for its 5.2 inch full HD display and a Snapdragon 800 processor with a wider screen than equivalent devices because of the extra space afforded by removing side buttons with a very thin bezel on the sides, and camera unit moved closer to the edge of the phone.

A glass back will make its way onto the Nexus 5, in line with the tradition started last year, for what sounds like a killer Android phone, especially if Google again releases it at cost or with slightly subsidized pricing like the last Nexus.

We don't know if the superior audio quality and OIS tech of the G2 will make it into this purported Nexus 5, but if all of this is true, more leaks shouldn't be far behind, as the summer is almost over, and we all know the onslaught that will follow on the way to the holiday shopping craze.

Google Nexus 5 Prototype Leaks

An image and specifications of a Nexus 5 prototype have been leaked online, according to Android and Me.

The source claims to be a Google employee and says the prototype is for real, but the site hasn't been able to confirm if it's genuine or not. "There is a good chance that some basement dweller is trolling us hard, but this person has an interesting story so we thought it needed to be shared." - Android and Me.


The Nexus 5 will be released in October and could be made by LG. Google is apparently considering prototypes from other phone manufacturing companies. If LG is selected it would be the first time that Google has partnered with the same manufacturer consecutively.

The Nexus 5 should bring with it a new version of Android, codenamed Key Lime Pie.

Check out full details of the specs below;

LG Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.7 Rumors [More Soon]

Rumors about the next generation of the Nexus has already started leaking from Korean forums. The next version of the Nexus which is the Nexus 5 is claimed to be an LG affair again, but this time around, it comes with a 5" Full HD screen, the new NVIDIA Tegra 4 Processor, 2 GB of RAM, 13 MP camera, as well as 3 MP front-facer, and 8 or 16 GB of storage. The price for the 8 GB versions is said to start off at $299, like the current edition.

Not only that, but the rumor mill spat out the next Google tablet, informing us that it might be a Nexus 7.7 this time, with a higher 1920x1200 resolution (294ppi), Tegra 4 Processor, 8 GB of starting storage, as well as front and rear HD cameras. Interestingly enough, the manufacturer mentioned here is again LG, whereas it was Asus doing the Nexus tablet gear for 2012.



At CES 2013 Event which happened last week, LG's Senior Vice President James Fisher said: "Through our collaboration with Google, we launched the LG Nexus 4 smartphone. This is the first of many devices to come from our growing partnership with this very selective company."

Two rumors that are not hard to believe at all, given the 2013 hardware trends, and the source claims these will be announced at the Google I/O conference in mid-May, alongside the next Key Lime Pie Android 5 version that is expected there too.
