Could this be the Nexus 5? |
The release date for the Nexus 5 (and KitKat) is almost certainly sometime in October or November of 2013. The Google Nexus 10 2nd Generation is also expected to be revealed in Q4 this year.
Features
The Nexus 5 will, of course, feature the brand new Android 4.4 KitKat (formerly named Key Lime Pie). It is also expected to come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. Unfortunately, SD card support is not likely. It is also almost certain that Google will go with a full 1080p resolution on a 5.2 inch display. The Nexus 4 has an 8 megapixel camera, but the Nexus 5 should feature one between 13 and 16 megapixels to go along with a new-and-improved KitKat camera app.
The Nexus 5 is also expected to have a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip, which will most likely run at 2.3Ghz. This would, on paper, make the 5 the most powerful smartphone on the market, barring a Galaxy S5 release. However, "off paper" the Nexus 5 should still have trouble topping Apple's new iPhone 5s.
The Nexus 5 will also support 4G LTE and will house a bigger battery.
Price
The Nexus 4 retails for $299, which is super cheap for an unlocked smartphone of its caliber. If Google follows its trend of nice prices, the Nexus 5 will retail for $299-$399, not bad.
