Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Google Nexus 5: What to Expect!”.
Hey what is up guys, mkbhd here and earlier this year with the google play edition devices. There is a little bit of worry that we might not see a new nexus every year, but this is 2013 and we know by now that just about everything new is going to leak before it’s announced, and this new nexus is no exception. So without any further ado, this is everything we know about the next nexus. So, first of all, the rumor mill really got going when an android 4.4 promo video from google went up and had a one or two second clip in it of a google employee holding an unannounced device that said nexus on it. So we all pretty much assume that that’s the next nexus right there he’s got an early copy and essentially that’s where a lot of our initial impressions, of what it’s going to look like came from since then, though, we’ve gotten way more leaks from fcc submissions and Leaked service manuals and actual photos of the device itself that give us a much better idea of what to expect when the actual device is released. So we basically already know what it’s going to look like at this point. So here is a pretty accurate render.
I would say of what to expect when the announcement finally rolls around when we see that nexus 5. For the first time, you can pretty much assume that that’s what it’s going to look like has a larger display and the led notification light on the front. A larger camera aperture on the back, the matte black finish similar to the current nexus 7. It’S a very simple, clean, pretty much understated device. Now i have the nexus 4 here, which is also in its day a very clean, simple understated device, because it’s a nexus. It has no front buttons on the front, but on the back, it at least had a little bit of shine a little bit of glitz or something to significantly distinguish it from other devices out there. But from what we’ve seen of this new nexus, it looks to actually be even more of a clean, simple understated device. Now two things um. Will this actually be called nexus 5, and will this actually be called android? 4.4 kitkat? Well about the kitkat thing, you can pretty much be guaranteed that yes, it’s going to be called kitkat.
Some people still don’t believe it, but uh. If you’ve read more into the android 4.4 story, you’ll realize that the partnership with kitkat came essentially at like the last. Second, it was a very last second for fun sort of deal so earlier. League versions of android still show some key lime pie elements and some naming schemes from key lime pie and even a debug icon from key lime pie, but they’ve probably going to change all these things to match up with the kitkat mantra. As far as the nexus 5 name goes, it’s kind of hard to say because on one hand they could say it’s the nexus 5.
But then the next nexus will be the nexus 6 and then the nexus 7, which is the new tablet. So, naturally, based on that a lot of people said it’s just going to be called the nexus 4 2013 or the new nexus 4.. That makes sense. But honestly, the only thing that’s actually confirmed right now is the model number, which is the lg g820, and that confirms two things number one it’ll be made by lg again and number two it’ll be a natural step up from the model number from the lg g2, Which was the lg d802, but for the purposes of this video and for the purpose of the rumors, we’re just going to call it the nexus 5..
So if this new device is based on the lg g2, should we expect it to have high-end specs like the lg g2? That’S a question. That’S interesting because well, first of all the nexus line started off as being known for high-end specs. The nexus one was the first device to have a one gigahertz processor which at the time was nuts uh, but right now, as of more recently, the nexus four comes out and uh goes with a more mid high-end range spec sheet, but a much more competitive price.
So we’ve actually gotten the leaked specs of the new nexus and we can confirm just about everything here. So it’s going to have a 5-inch 1080p display it’s going to have that qualcomm, snapdragon 800 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3, gigahertz it’ll have 2 gigabytes of ram and an 8 megapixel back facing camera with optical image. Stabilization it’ll also have a sealed 2 300 milliamp hour battery.
If you were looking for a removable battery or removable storage nexus is not for you and we’re. Also looking at connectivity on lte bands in the united states and it’ll all come in a package. That’S just 8.6 millimeters thick. These are all pretty high to mid to high specs. I mean they’re not note 3 future proof sort of specs on a phone but they’re also pretty decent specs, and i would expect to see a phone based off of the six to seven hundred dollar. Lg g2 in the google play store as competitive as google can get.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 16 or 32 gigabyte version of the nexus 5 sell for 4.99 off contract in the play store as far as carriers in the united states. Since the play store tends to be a very united states, centric thing i would expect all the major ones, but don’t cross your fingers for a verizon nexus 5.. Just don’t it’s probably not going to happen, and even if it does happen again, uh verizon’s likely going to find a way to screw it up like it does, with all its other promising devices on its network.
So i’m actually already in the process of fully switching over to a t in order to just use a t, as my main line right now, either way, all the information about nexus 5 will be finally unveiled and released. Officially this month, it’s october, along with a whole bunch of other awesome tech this month, but all of the rumors will finally cease and the false things will be dispelled when the google event actually happens. I have a feeling – that’s not going to be the biggest surprise at the event, the more exciting things that we don’t already know much about like the asus built nexus 10 or maybe some google glass or some google chrome news – might be more exciting, but either way Follow me on twitter for more of the uh nexus 5 coverage as it unrolls, and if we get more stuff i’ll be sure to share it with you.
If we get more leaked stuff that we don’t already know i’ll be tweeting that out, but either way that’s been it. Thank you for watching, and i will talk to you guys in the next article peace you .
