Today brings an end to all the rumors, leaks and speculation — the LG-made
Google Nexus 5 is finally official and you'll be able to buy it tomorrow.
4.95-inch 1080p HD display
Snapdragon 800 processor
Adreno 330
2GB of RAM
1.3MP front-facing camera
8MP OIS rear camera
Dual-band WiFi
Bluetooth 4.0
2300 mAh battery
Android 4.4
The specs, while impressive for such an affordable handset, are not earth
shattering. The real star of today’s show is the newest version of Android.
Android 4.4, KitKat, is more than just a facelift. There are some awesome new
features as well like an immersive mode, and enhanced dialer and more.
Two Nexus 5 models will be offered, a North American version with CDMA
support, 7-band WCDMA and 9-band LTE, and an international version with 6-
band WCDMA and 6-band LTE. For a full list of radio bands and other technical
info, check out our full Nexus 5 specs post.
Prices in the UK start at £295; in the U.S. it's $349 for 16GB and $399 for 32GB.
The first thousand UK buyers who pick up a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse on-
contract can claim a free 16GB Nexus 7 (2012). Carphone's on-contract prices start at
£32 per month on 3G and £37 on 4G, both from O2.
