New Nexus 5 rumors surface
Since most carriers will release the Moto X on August 23, with Verizon expected to make its move on the 29th, the time has come for Google to prepare for its next move - the release of the highly anticipated Nexus 5 smartphone.
Unfortunately, no official information is currently available, but a lot of interesting Nexus 5-related rumors are coming from multiple sources. Some of them are contradictory, as you can see below:
- The display of the smartphone should be a 5-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen. Some sources claim 5.2-inch as a possibility, but there's not much controversy here.
- The phone maker selected to build the Nexus 5 should be LG, but various sources claim that Motorola will handle this task.
- If the first rumor above is true, then the Nexus 5 will be based off of LG L2. In this case, it will feature a Snapdragon 800 processor, but it is also rumored that a Snapdragon 600 may be used to keep the price low.
- Other rumors claim that the Nexus 5 will be powered by a 2.3 GHz octo-core processor, together with 3 GB of memory.
- In terms of connectivity, the Nexus 5 is expected to feature 4G/LTE support.
- 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB variants are expected to be available.
An official statement from Google about the upcoming Nexus smartphone is expected to be issued this fall, as soon as Android 5.0 is released.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
