Google Nexus 5

[rajadeep]

Lolz finally I have found a source for a nexus 4 for 22k for the 16gb version... But with all these rumours floating around for nexus 5 I don't no weather I should risk investing in a nexus 4 or not... I badly need a second phone for browsing & not really willing to invest more than 25k in an android so the only choice I have is the nexus 4 or s3... But I can't really stand the look of the s3 so only real option is the N4... Another issue is if Apple launched a bigger screen iPhone (unlikely) before the N5 then confusion phir se baad jayegi ...

Nexus 5 hmm. It should easily be few months away. Nexus devices are generally launched around October. I am just expecting a minor update at I/O. Probably an LTE version for the US market.

Righto. If they are not announcing Android 5.0 at I/O, I wonder what would they announce.
Google Babble (or whatever) is likely to be announced. But a unified instant messaging platform makes more sense with the launch of a major update of Android.

KLP is going to be released at this year's I/O. We all are quite aware of what's coming with 5.0. It must be going through severe testing. I just pray that they release KLP for Galaxy nexus.
I wonder what they will be thinking about giving in next year's 5.1 or 6.0 Licorice.

Not a nexus. LG branding is clear at the bottom.

 

[Sushubh]

Prototype units usually have such branding. LG does not use software buttons at least not right now.

They can change.

The design looks pretty 'non Nexus'

 

[Sushubh]

This device also has a rumored screen size of 5.5 inches so it is unlikely to be Nexus anyways.
But one thing is clear. Either Google is planning a mega sized Nexus device. Or LG is discarding hardware buttons on their Android devices.
As for a non-Nexus design. Nexus design has evolved with every update. And yes, I do not think next Nexus would be so boring.

The only thing I want in the next nexii is official Indian launches! Within two months at most.
