After months of speculations and leaks, Google has officially unveiled the LG-manufactured Nexus 5 smartphone. This new gadget brings out the best of Google’s latest version of Android called KitKat.
Much like what has been spoiled, the Nexus 5 sports a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdraon 800, a 5-inch display with 1080p resolution and minimal bezels, and 2GB of RAM. It also comes with a 2,300mAh battery and wireless charging capability, as well as a micro-USB port, dual-band WiFi, LTE, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.0 on board. This smartphone is cased in plastic with a “silky texture” and sheathed with Gorilla Glass 3 on its display.
Its 8-megapixel rear camera has optical image stabilization and the ability to combine multiple exposures into a single photo, lightening up dark areas and bringing out details lost by a flash. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera is clocked at 1.3 megapixels.
The Google Nexus 5 comes in two models: one for North America and Europe, and another for Asia. Both editions will have 16GB and 32GB versions, which will cost $349 and $399, respectively. The new LG-made smartphone is now available on Google Play Store, with your choice of black and white, for AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers. It is also available at Best Buy and Radio Shack, while carriers will offer the gadget at subsidized prices.
