NEXUS 5 ROUNDUP SO FAR

By on Sunday, October 13, 2013

We all know that Google will be releasing its next nexus smartphone, Nexus 5 or Nexus 4 (2013) on 15 October and there are already tons of rumors out there about the device. So just before its release, here is a short description of what we know so far about the device and what we expect the next generation Nexus to have.




DESIGN

Leaked images of Nexus 5 doesn't seems to excite people in its looks. It looks all the same as its predecessor and doesn't offer much changes it its dimension. Also the glassy back is missing in Nexus 5 and some of you might like it and some of you not. I myself liked the glassy back and the plain back in Nexus 5 rather looks monotonous. Also the big ring around the camera lens is quite big in radius. But being similar in dimension, Nexus 5 leaked images have very cleaned and refined look but nothing different.

DISPLAY

Nexus 5 will have a bit larger display of nearly 5 inches as compared to 4.75 inches of Nexus 4 which is nearly the same. Nexus 5 will also have a full HD resolution and will have IPS LCD display. The display of Nexus 4 was also pretty good in its price and we expect the same to be with Nexus 5 also.

HARDWARE

It is expected to be packed with Snapdragon 800 SoC and will boast a quad-core CPU with a blazing clock speed of 2.2 GHz, faster than the previous 1.2 GHz in Nexus 4. It will offer on-board 2 GB of RAM.

CAMERA

This was one of the major disappointment which we saw in Nexus 4 and this wasn't expected from premium Nexus device. This time we expect more from Google in its camera quality and must justify its 8 MP number. Apart from this, Nexus 5 will also feature an 8-megapixel camera and users can expect a fully revamped camera experience in Android 4.4 Kitkat along with enhanced Photosphere and panorama shooting. The front-facing camera offers 1.3-megapixel affair, which can shoot 1080p video.

BATTERY

Unfortunately, Nexus 5 will only have a 2300 mAh battery, if you go by leaked service manual. But hopefully Android 4.4 brings is equipped with enhanced power management features. The Nexus 5 will also be equipped with wireless charging support.

MEMORY

Fortunately Google has finally decided to drop its 8GB variant and have come with more storage options this time. Nexus 5 is rumored to be available in 16GB and 32GB memory variants. Although there is no news of 64GB variant in rumors or manual leak but a 64GB option will surely be handy for hefty users.

CONNECTIVITY

Mising LTE support was really a big disappointment for the users but this will not be with Nexus 5. The Neuxs 5 will not have a Nano-SIM slot , but will finally bring LTE support, other than Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. 


Well this all that we know so far. Are you excited for Nexus 5 and Android Kitkat 4.4? Will you be buying one ?
