Nexus 5 Stock Hits UK Retailer Carphone Warehouse

Image
Not a lot of you might know this but, there’s this search giant called Google who just so happen to make Android – you know, the Operating System that’s running on most smartphones these days. Well, every year this company takes it upon themselves to release a device called the Nexus, to show off just what they can do with stock Android, without those pesky OEMs like Samsung and HTC messing with their UI and experience. Oh, who are we kidding, you guys know  all  about the Nexus 5 already and so do we. Today’s the 31st of October and it’s a pretty fitting day for the Nexus 5 to be announced on. All signs and teases are pointing to today for an official announcement of the Nexus 5. Our UK readers will like this latest leak that our friends over at  Pocket-Lint   have found, stock of the Nexus 5 has hit Carphone Warehouse stores. Which has been selling the Nexus devices since Samsung’s first attempt, the Nexus S. Last night we got an exclusive look at an animated GIF of the Nexus 5, we k

A Nexus 5 Has Been Un boxed Somewhere

As if the constant leaks and teasing isn’t enough, they just keep on coming. The Nexus 5 has been teased and  leaked so many times by now, you may as well swing by your local Best Buy, just to check that Google hasn’t secretly released the device into the wild. Google’s Nexus devices are a pretty big deal for Google, after all they’re a chance for the search giant to show off to the world just how good Android can be, when it’s left alone. Last year’s Nexus 4 broke the rules when it went on sale unlocked for far less than comparable smartphones and this year, we’re hoping for more of the same. The Nexus 4 didn’t have LTE however, this year the Nexus 5 should right that wrong and, it’s even coming to Sprint. Somewhere out in the world though, there is a Nexus 5 in retail packaging and this Nexus 5 has been unboxed.  PhoneArena   have been passed a tip that leads to a sinister screenshot hosted on  Photobucket . With no further commentary or even a shot of Android 4.4, KitKat running on

Google Launchpad Devs Hint at October 15th Reveal for KitKat Android 4.4 and The Nexus 5

This is certainly the right time of year for a new Nexus and a new version of Android but, precisely when these new goodies are launching is something we don’t know. We’ve heard October 15th was the date a couple of times before now and now it seems that could well be the magic number. Google Launchpad is being held in Europe this week, which is essentially a way for startups and the like to rack Google’s brains when it comes to Silicon Valley. Google devs at the event have apparently been alluding to an October 15th date for both KitKat and the Nexus 5. This is coming from  Techmaniacs.gr   and apparently, devs at the event were also saying that the price of the Nexus 5 won’t go beyond the €300 mark, which would translate to the $300 price tag that we loved about the Nexus 4 when it hit the Play Store. Speaking of which, it’s said that the new Nexus won’t be available to purchase on the same date that it’s announced, suggesting that the Nexus 5 might be available a week or so later. A

Nexus 5 Camera: ClearPixel, UltraPixel, MegaPixel?

It seems like every year Google tells us the camera on the Nexus is better and it’s great. I almost think that they are lying to me. Now I haven’t owned the Nexus S or Nexus One. But I have owned the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. Both had some pretty bad camera’s. Now I won’t say they were unusable. But when you see cameras like the one on the Galaxy S4, or the LG G2, or the HTC One, it kinda makes you jealous that your precious, stock Android Nexus does not take great pictures like those devices. Now we’ve speculated the camera on the Nexus 5 already, and how it could be a 13MP camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) like on the LG G2. But we really don’t know for sure. All I know is, I want a better camera. There are all kinds of new camera technology out there. From Motorola there’s the ClearPixel. From HTC there’s the UltraPixel. And everyone else it’s just the Megapixel. Now the ClearPixel camera adds a white pixel in there so you can potentially get better pictures. However, fr

Nexus 5 release date, rumours and everything you need to know

With the Nexus 4 now being the oldest device in the Nexus stable, it's time to turn our attention to the Nexus 5? When will the Nexus 5 launch? What will be different? How will it compare to the Nexus 4? There's a swirl of rumour and speculation circulating the internet as we head into autumn, the traditional launch time for a Nexus smartphone refresh. Here we're pulling together all the details and trying to separate the wheat from the chaff and build a picture of Google's next Nexus smartphone. We'll update the feature as and when new details become known. Nexus 5 release date The Nexus 4 was launched on 29 October 2012, replacing the Galaxy Nexus, launched before that on 19 October 2011. The pattern suggests a late-October launch date for the Nexus 5, with stock landing in the Google Play store soon after, most likely within two weeks. Recent documents from the FCC suggest that the Nexus 5 has been through the certification process, which typically happens in
