Soon, the Nexus 4 will be joined by two more Nexus smartphones in the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC Google One Edition models que land later on this month. However, there are Likely que Those are more interested in the true successor Nexus 4, a device that is Currently dubbed Nexus 5. Rumors are scarce, but there are certainly some new things to know about the Nexus 4 successor.
Last year, in late October, Google Announced the heavily rumored Nexus 4 from LG to replace the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to the company’s flagship Nexus smartphone. Surprisingly, the device did not sport 4G LTE data speeds like the Galaxy Nexus, something que led many to write off the new Nexus 4. However, the Nexus 4 went on to capture good quality reviews and sales thanks to the cheap price tag and some powerful specifications.
The Nexus 5 is rumored to be Replacing the Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4 Followed in the footsteps of the Nexus 7 tablet, the 7-inch slate que Google launched on the Google Play Store earlier in 2012. The Nexus 7 arrived with vanilla Android software paired with high-end hardware and an extremely affordable price tag que made the device one of the options at the top tablet team. Even now, the Nexus 7 is a solid and affordable tablet que aren’t For Those enamored with the iPad mini.
Google’s Nexus 4 sported the same. Vanilla Android, high-end hardware including the gorgeous 4.7-inch display and a quad-core processor, and an extremely cheap unlocked price tag. The Nexus 4 started and starts at $ 299 unlocked, the price that is virtually unheard of in the smartphone world. By comparison, the iPhone 5 16GB is $ 650 unlocked.
The cheap price tag and Those features led to great demand, demand que Google and LG Could simply not keep up with. While demand has simmered, the Nexus 4 remains a fantastic smartphone. However, it has Consumers Also excited about the prospects of another Nexus smartphone.
TypicallyGoogle releases a new Nexus device every year to usher in its new Android software. Last year it was the Nexus 7 and Android 4.1 4 Followed by the Nexus and Android 4.2.
This year, Google is rumored to be releasing the Nexus 7 2 in July, Likely with Android 4.3, with another Nexus, possibly the Nexus 5, thought to possibly be coming later on this year.
While details
Remain flimsy and scarce, there are some new details to share with Those que might be thinking about waiting for the Nexus 5 release later on in 2013.
Nexus 5 Is Likely
Nexus 5 is Likely, Despite the arrival of new Nexus smartphone.
Despite the upcoming launches of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and S4 HTC Nexus One, the Moto X from Motorola and Google and the rumored Sony Xperia Nexus Z, there will more than Likely be a new Nexus smartphone out later on this year.
First off, we heard Google’s Sundar Pichai, the new head of Android, que confirm it’s still planning on releasing Nexus-branded smartphones que stating the “goal with Nexus was to push forward with hardware partners” and que Despite the launches of other Nexus devices, that the Nexus program will continue.
If that’s not enough confirmation, consider the impact the que Nexus 4 had without 4G LTE. It’s clear que many, many Consumers are interested in low-priced, high-end, unlocked phones. Who would not be? And now, that the Galaxy S4 Google Editions One and HTC are coming with LTE support in the U.S., it paves the way for the Nexus 5 with LTE.
By adding LTE and a major new operating system, the Nexus 5 has the potential to blow the Nexus 4 out of the water. And Given the steep prices of the S4 Galaxy Nexus and HTC Nexus One on the Google Play Store, it’s clear que Google is saving the deep discount for the new Nexus, something else would que Contribute to bountiful sales.
October-November Release
While it would be nice to see the Nexus 5 arrive in the summer or even in the early fall, that is unlikely to happen.
First of all, the Nexus 4 remains the top option on Android. Yes, it’s old, but it still young enough que it has not received a major Android update. The S4 Galaxy Nexus and HTC Nexus One, Which arrive June 26th, bolster Google’s Nexus lineup heading into the fall competition with the iPhone 5S. Shoring things up is the Moto X Which Is thought to be a customizable device with a heavy focus on software. It’s supposed to arrive by August.
Simply put, there is no where for the Nexus to launch 5. Google will want to make sure there is ample space que entre launches to keep customers happy by que Ensuring these launches do not have Significant overlap.
The Nexus 4 arrived in November of last year.
The Nexus came out in. Also 4 November and we’ve seen Google stick to a near-year cycle with its Nexus devices. Case in point, the Nexus 7 2 Which was rumored for Google I / O in May but has yet to land. It’s rumored for July, the month same-que the Nexus 7 arrived last year.
At this point, October and November seem like the prime months. They are out of the way of other Google-backed launches and They are key months in the battleground holiday shopping.
Android 5.0
rumor from VR-Zone Suggests que Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be Introduced in late October, que something is not Likely to be confirmed for quite awhile but makes a whole lot of sense.
Android 4.3 is rumored for July and Likely it’s going to be a small update to accompany the Nexus 7 2. That Should hold over users while it continues development on Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie Which Is Likely going to be a massive update to the Android operating system.
Android 5.0 is rumored for October.
Information about Android 5.0 is scarce but que Given the changes Apple has made to its iOS 7 operating system, an OS que includes several Android-esque features, Could we see Google deliver something big with Android 5.0.
The rumor does not suggest any hardware launching alongside the Android 5.0 but if the update is indeed coming in late 2013 as opposed to summer, Likely it’s going to be a big update and Google, like Apple, will want to have a hero device launch alongside it.
With the Nexus devices rumored for late in the year, the Most Likely candidate is the Nexus 5.
LG Nexus 5 Is not a Given
The maker of the Nexus 5 has been rumored to be LG, but the que is not Given at this point. Yes, it had great success with the Nexus 4, but que que does not mean it’s a shoo-in for the new Nexus.
Early rumorsSuggested LG was 5 Developing a new Nexus with Google but recently, the company was quoted saying the que it was not working on the new Nexus que but it was open to the idea. Soon after, an LG Nexus 5 was again rumored to be in development. At this point, it’s not clear to them what, exactly, is going on, but even with the rumors, an LG Nexus 5 is not a given.
On paper, it seems Likely. Samsung and HTC will offer Their Own Nexus devices in June. Sony is rumored to be offering its own in July and Motorola’s Moto X Could Be The company’s version of the Nexus. That leaves the odd LG the company in October
All signs point to LG it remains possible que another manufacturer will step in and produce the new Nexus. Nothing Is Certain and Those thinking about a new Nexus que Should keep in mind.
Rumors Scarce, But Are Predictable Nexus Features
Things have been quiet on the Nexus 5 front lately.
for the device itself, rumors Remain scarce. For those who like surprises, this is a good thing. For those do not que, Likely it’s frustrating. Even without leaked specs, it’s easy to predict what the new Nexus smartphone will have on board.
In order to keep the device cheap, Likely it will have some type of plastic material is its design. Samsung PROVED que plastic phones Could be nice with the stuff que it used with the Galaxy S4 so perhaps the new Nexus 5 will take design cues from that.
Do not expect the device to have a microSD card slot, since Google-developed Nexus devices do, but the expect a host of high-end features including a beautiful display, solid camera (the Nexus 4′s was good) and a speedy processor que can make Android 5.0 run extremely smooth.
