Nexus 5 released

It was a great talk on how Google prepares new Nexus 5. Instead of big celebration because of Nexus 5 birth, at a meeting with representatives of the media Google unveiled its latest and greatest device, which definitely puts Google (or it’s better to say LG) in a list of manufacturers that boast high-end devices. As it was planned, the new device came with new software, so Google has showed new Android 4.4. KitKat. What first strikes our eye is the fact that the Nexus is made by LG ​​again, regardless that Google has gained a hardware department by overtaking Motorola. The key feature of new Nexus is a bigger screen, which is now 4.95 inches big. Then there are the much faster Snapdragon 800 processor and LTE connectivity. The prices for purchase through Google Play Store are already released. 16GB version costs $349, or $399 for a more generous memory version with 32GB.

Nexus 5 design and display

At first glance, the Nexus 5 again exudes minimalism. The only thing that stands out from smooth edges and surfaces are Nexus and LG logos. Unlike previous generations, Nexus 5 brings softer and matte finished back of the phone, which should result in smaller sliding in hand. The phone has dimensions of 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm and weighs of 130 grams, which means that the Nexus 5 lost weight compared to the Nexus 4. The phone will come in two standard colors (white and black), but there will also be available the versions with colored edges (including orange and gray). Nexus 5 brings the biggest screen in the whole family. With almost 5 inches, the screen offers plenty of comfortable facilities, and fantastic 445 pixels per inch. The screen comes in True HD IPS Plus technology with excellent resolution of 1080×1920 pixels and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection from scratches. New Nexus progress can best be seen from the fact that the previous Nexus had 1280×768 pixels and "only" 320 pixels per inch.

Nexus 5 specs

Google's new star is a beast. Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor offers astonishing 2.26 GHz, which is equivalent to the best model from LG - LG G2. If you thought if Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One duo is invincible, you are wrong. Both of them are working on Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600. In addition, the Nexus 5 has a very useful 2GB of RAM. So, the Nexus 5 claims to be one of the most efficient models on the market. New Nexus 5 is equipped with a battery of 2300mAh, which will have a wireless charging feature. When it comes to connectivity, the biggest change is the presence of LTE connection, which was lacking in the previous model.

Nexus 5 camera

The combination of 8 and 1.3 MP certainly is not something that will cheers us up, but Google claims that this cam has ​​a lot of improvements, especially optical stabilization, but also a little gyroscope mounted in the camera lens, which very accurately perform this important role. However, the first information from San Francisco are pointing out that the photos are not very impressive.

Nexus 5 and Android KitKat

Bearing in mind that the Nexus 5 does not have a microSD slot, it is very important that the new KitKat takes up much less space than previous versions. According to Google, KitKat "claims" only 512MB of memory, which is about 15% less than the Jelly Bean. As far as improvements, there are better connection between dialer and search option, as well as a better voice search and Google Now.

Google and LG seem to have learned the lesson and did a great job. Nexus 5 brings the best that modern mobile technology has to offer.
