It's about time. The Google-backed and LG-manufactured Nexus 5 is now really a reality, after countless rumors and leaks (a few of them coming from Google itself).
The new device, which predictably boasts the latest and greatest
version of Android known as KitKat (or 4.4, if you're so inclined),
takes its place in the spotlight in place of the Nexus 4.
And, despite coming out at a slightly higher price point than last
year's Nexus, it still takes the cake in terms of features, components
and other specs. Now that it's ready for the public, let's take a deeper
look at the Nexus 5, which will be available on the Play Store today,
in both white and black, starting at $349 for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint (sorry Verizon customers).
The Nexus 5 leaked ahead of time, and almost all of them have proven to
be true. Under the hood is a 2.3Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 800 and 2GB of
RAM, pushing pixels to a glorious 5-inch 1080p display. LG has also seen
fit to include wireless charging again, so you won't have to wear out
that micro-USB port keeping the 2,300 mAh battery juiced, you can use it
to power a TV over Slimport instead. You'll also find LTE, Bluetooth
4.0, dual-band 802.11ac WiFi and NFC on board -- basically if there is a
method of connecting to another device, the Nexus 5 has it.
