NEXUS 5 : Specs and Rumors

According to the new report which claims that LG and Google will once again partner for a Nexus smartphone to debut later this year. According to Korean news site Daum, the Nexus 5 will be based on the Optimus G2 and be equipped with similar internal components.

With all this buzz created around the high-end smartphones that will be unveiled in the coming months by the pig players of the smartphone market, the public seems to forgot about the imminent debut of the next-gen Google flagship smartphone. Even though there are no official details about the Nexus 5 release date it’s not that hard to guess when Google will launch the Nexus 4 follow up.
The Nexus 4 became the best-selling Nexus smartphone even though it was almost impossible to find in Google Play Store in the first months after the launch because of limited supplies. In fact there were some rumors saying that for this particular reason Google and LG will no longer team up to develop a Nexus smartphone.

Since HTC and Samsung already launched their Nexus-like version of their flagships, the Galaxy S4 and One Google Edition, the media’s attention has turned to Sony. Well, the Japanese company released AOSP project for Xperia Z and it is rumored that an Xperia Z Google Edition will be launched late July.
After all these stories, LG decided to dismiss the rumors saying that they will no longer collaborate with Google for the Nexus 5 and this is how the Optimus G successor will probably serve as a growndwork for the next-gen Google flagship smartphone.

Rumour has it that the Nexus 5 shows the handset as having a display that is 5 inches and this is edge to edge. The handset comes with 5-inch Full HD screen display; 4G LTE connectivity; Snapdragon 800 processor; speakers on the front and a notification light on the bottom; expandable memory via microSD slot, 13 megapixel rear camera; 4GB of RAM and a 3140mAh battery.

Other reports stated that the company is bound to release the successor of LG Nexus 4 coined as Nexus 5 is rumoured to sport a 5-inch full-HD (1920 x 1080) display translating into a pixel density of 440ppi. The device is also speculated to be equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor with 2GB of RAM, 8/16GB of internal storage, a 13-megapixel auto-focus rear camera with LED flash and a 3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Other rumoured specs of the Nexus 5 include Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor that possesses a clock rate of 2.3GHz. The CPU finds assistance in 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. Storage options are provided in the form of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal memory. Adding to the list of these highly questionable details is a 3300mAh Li-polymer battery, under the hood.
