The iPhone 5S which released along with iPhone 5C is doing well in the markets. The iPhone 5S is definitely a phone that should be purchased. However, there are other powerful phones like Galaxy s4 which will make it quite tough to make a decision. Some of the phones that are soon to arrive and expected to give good competition to iPhone 5S include Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Google Nexus 5 and HTC One Max. However, among these LG Nexus 5 seems to be a real competitor for iOS 7 powered iPhone 5S.

The iPhone 5S has become so popular that stocks have exhausted and Apple is planning to supply new devices. On the other side, the iPhone 5C is not doing that well in US. However, the phone was built to target Asian markets. In the forthcoming weeks, we will be able to learn about the same.

The iPhone 5S is an upgraded version of the discontinued iPhone 5. Hence, many of the features like display and its speculations are same as the predecessor model. The device is powered with A7 64bit processor. It is the first time a 64bit chip is used to power a smartphone. It houses an upgraded iSight camera. The iPhone 5S is available in various color options like gold, silver and white. However, the main feature is definitely the fingerprint scanner. It brings an added security feature which makes it possible for users to authenticate logins through fingerprint and frees from the hassle of entering login credentials manually.

Thus, the iPhone 5S is a fabulous device which is the reason there is great demand for it. Well, now let us talk about one of the major competitors of iPhone 5S. In the previous, the iPhone 5 and Google Nexus 4 ruled the smartphone world when they were released. Now, the iPhone 5S has got a huge chunk of customers under its belt in US. However, since it is going to get some serious competition from Google Nexus 5.

If you have not purchased the iPhone 5S, we advise you to wait a month or so because very soon the Nexus 5 is going to arrive. The Google Nexus 5 has been in the news since couple of months. However, very soon the handset will be launched. Like the iPhone 5S came out with a swanky new iOS7, even the Nexus 5 will be blessed with the all new Android 4.4 KitKat OS. The features of the new Android upgrade have not been revealed yet. However, both Android 4.4 and Nexus 5 are going to be unveiled on the same day. The expected release date is October 14. Well, Google has not confirmed anything about the two.

The iPhone 5S gold version is completely sold out and Apple is holding the supply of the gold iPhone 5S until October. The reason behind it is that may be Apple wants to give a serious competition to Nexus 5. The Nexus 5 will come out with a 4.97inch display screen which will support 1080p full HD resolution and boasts a pixel density of 443ppi.

The best thing about the Android on Nexus 5 is that Google will be offering an exclusive Vanilla version of Android 4.4 KitKat on Nexus 5. It offers connectivity features like LTE and NFC. The device is powered with Snapdragon 800 CPU and 2GB RAM. The Nexus 5 will at least offer 16GB storage space. It will come with 8MP camera at the rear and 1.2MP at the front.

The FCC filings of Nexus 5 reveal that the device will be made available only on T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint. At the moment, the device is not going to support Verizon’s network. One of the major things that will help customers decide between the two is the price factor. Well, the Nexus 5 is expected to come out with lower price tag.

The unlocked version of iPhone 5S can be purchased for 650USD. Well, it does seems to be an expensive price tag. The price of Google Nexus 5 has not been announced yet but we feel that Google will keep it low like it has always done. The unlocked version of Nexus 5 is expected to be available for $299 or $399. Again, if you haven’t purchased the Apple iPhone 5S, we suggest you to wait little more and then when the Nexus 5 gets released, you can compare the specs and price of the two phones and then take a calculated decision.

What do you think about the Nexus 5? Will it be able to thwart iPhone 5S sales and popularity? Do share your views in the comments section.

The Google Nexus 4 has been discontinued after the stocks of the said device got over. The October 14^th release date seems quite true. However, the only thing that is remaining is some sort of announcement from Google’s end.

The log file indicates Android 4.4 KitKat which was previously rumored to have the Key Lime Pie name. The new Android upgrade will be running on a device that has a code name of ‘Hammerhead’. Well, speculations reveal that the said device is nothing but the LG D820. This is the model number of the expected LG Nexus 5.

Google Nexus 5 Rumored Features LTE AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Camera and More Inside

September 29, 2013 By Troy Rubenson 1 Comment

After the stock of Nexus 4 got over at many of the retail outlets, Google hasn’t issued supply of new Nexus 4 units. This has been cited as clear indication of Nexus 5 arrival by the tech world. The Nexus 4 has been official discontinued and the successor device is dubbed as Nexus 5. So, if Google releases the Nexus 5 soon, it will find itself competing with the likes of iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, HTC One and so on.

Each year Google releases new Nexus smartphone and what’s special about Google smartphones is that the search engine giant exclusively brings the next Android release on it. The version of the Android which is exclusively made available on Nexus smartphones is called vanilla Android which cannot be found on any other smartphones.

The first Nexus smartphone was an HTC device, then followed Samsung Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Last year’s smartphone was LG Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 was a non-LTE device that came with HD display, great camera, fast quad-core CPU, vanilla Android 4.2 and more importantly an affordable price tag. The unlocked version was available for 349USD.

The price was one major factor that helped Nexus to achieve great popularity. Such was the popularity of the phone that Nexus 4 units were sold out twice and until February the phone was not easily acquirable. In 2013, the Nexus 4 continued to be one of the best smartphones of the year.

The popularity of Nexus 4 rose even more this year when Google lowered the price of the device by 100USD. The 8GB Nexus 4 variant was available for 199USD and the 32GB variant was available for 249USD. Apple could not compete with such a low price tag. The 16GB iPhone 5 continued to remain at 650USD.

Nexus 5 is rumored to arrive in the fourth quarter of the year. Some have even specifically predicted the Oct 14 release date. Also, Google had recently announced Android 4.4 KitKat. So, it seems very likely that very soon Nexus 5 will arrive with Android 4.4 KitKat onboard. Although all rumors point towards an LG product, some rumors also indicate that the next Nexus device could even be a Motorola device.

Google Nexus 5 Design

Every year Google rolls out Nexus smartphones with new design. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was entirely made of plastic; however, the Nexus 4 came with plastic at the front and a delicate glass at the rear. The device appeared quite similar to iPhone 4S. So, we can expect a newly designed Nexus 5 this year. Some feel that the Nexus 5 design will be inspired from Asus Nexus 7 tablet. We have got a leaked photo of the possible Nexus 5 handset.

Nexus 5 Display
The Nexus 5 is rumored to come with a 5inch full HD display that will support 1080 pixel resolution. Recently, Google had leaked a video which featured a new Nexus smartphone with Android 4.4 KitKat. The device appeared to feature a display that was similar to that of Nexus 4. If you go the by the Nexus device that was shown in the video, we may not see any change in the size this year.

Nexus 5 Camera

If you had seen the infamous Android 4.4 KitKat, you would have also noticed that the device featured a larger camera sensor slotted at the top corner. The predecessor model had 8MP camera and according to the leaks, Google plans to offer an enhanced camera on the next Nexus smartphone. According to the rumor coming from FCC filing, the Nexus 5 may feature a 13MP camera which is the same one that is seated on LG G2.

Nexus 5 Specifications
The rumored has spurned after the device underwent FCC filing shows that the next Nexus device is an LG product with a model number LG D820. Rumors have it that it will come with a non-removable battery and there won’t be any external storage onboard.

The Nexus 5 will be available in two formats namely 16GB and 32GB. The FCC filing also indicate that this time around, Google will pack in a powerful 2300mAh battery on Nexus 5. It will be powered with Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor which is the same process that powers up Galaxy Note 3.

It is quite understandable that Google will release the Nexus 5 with the new Android 4.4 KitKat. The said Android is expected to arrive in October which is presumed to be the same time when the next Nexus smartphone will arrive. Also the FCC filing of the suspected Nexus 5 indicates it will be running on Android 4.4

What Will be the Next Nexus Smartphone Called?
Well, all rumors are using ‘Nexus 5’ as the term to talk about the next Nexus smartphone. However, the official name of the product has not been announced yet by Google. Google released a successor unit for the Nexus 7 tablet year. However, they decided to keep the same name for this year’s 7inch tablet.

Carrier Support
According to the rumors from FCC filing, the LG D820 will be supporting LTE connectivity through AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. It did not mention anything about Verizon.

Google Nexus 5 Release Date Rumored to Launch On October 14

September 23, 2013 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment

One of the biggest Nexus 5 rumors doing the rounds right now is that release date is going to happen on October 14. There has been enough talk of the next device in the Nexus series of smartphones which man are claiming will also serve as the launch device of latest Android version, Android 4.4 KitKat. While several of the key specifications of the device have emerged online, the exact processor that is going to power the device is not yet known officially. Even the FCC listing of the device did not specify this aspect.

Specifications of the device for those who missed it out earlier speak of a 4.96 inch display with LTE support and Bluetooth 4.0. It would have Qi wireless charging capability too. While the length and width of the device has been defined to be 131.9 mm and 68.2 mm respectively the thickness of the handset has not been detailed till now.

The reason for October 14 release date for Nexus 5 that is reported to carry the codename Hammerhead has a few linked logic to it. For one, Nexus 4 had been launched last year at around the same time. There is also the issue of Google launching their latest Android OS the KitKat on October 14. The new OS would most logically come riding on a new gadget too. Nexus 5 is the only Google gadget that is in the offing. Another factor that does serve as a strong indicator of a new Nexus being in the offing is that Google has sold out of existing Nexus 4 stocks. And the company is showing no signs of replenishing it either.

The company to make the Nexus 5 gadget is in all probability LG. They had done a very good job with the Nexus 4 and therefore no reason for Google to consider any other maker. In that case the probability of the Nexus 5 bearing a close resemblance to the G2 handset from LG is once again a very logical conclusion.

For anxious consumers, the first week of October should be the time when all these speculations are likely to be converted into reality. For that is when Google would be sending out invites, if the date of 14 October has any real value, that is.

Google Nexus 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3 – Will New Nexus 5 Thwart Galaxy Note 3?

September 22, 2013 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Galaxy Note 3 is currently the best smartphone in the market. Even though Apple has launched the new iPhone 5S but experts feel that it won’t be able to disturb the sales of Note 3. The HTC One Max and Nokia Lumia 1520 are the two phablets that have features that can make them compete with the Note 3. Many are also waiting for the Nexus 5 to arrive which is going to replace the older Nexus 4.

In the previous year, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was released in October and LG Nexus 4 came out around the same time with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. Both the Korean tech giants competed with each other. However, the phablet from Samsung was a superior smartphone compared to the Nexus 4. Both remained to be the best smartphones of 2013.

Now, Samsung has already announced the Galaxy Note 3 which is going to release in October in US. Yesterday was the last day of Google Nexus 4 which clearly indicates that Google is planning to launch new Nexus 5 in the near future. It is still not clear which brand among LG and Motorola will be manufacturing the Nexus 5. Let us compare both the phones with each other to know how the battle will ensue once the Google Nexus 5 is rolled out.

Display
The Galaxy Note 3 is blessed with a massive full HD 5.7inch display screen. As of now, we do not know what would be the size of the display on Nexus 5. What we do know is that like Note 3, the Nexus 5 display will support 1080 pixels resolution. The Nexus 4 is equipped with a large 4.7inch display. Some experts feel that this time around, the next Nexus smartphone will sport a 5inch or 5.2icnh display.

Design
The exterior of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is built with plastic and comes with faux leather at the rear which is something new to see on Galaxy line of smartphones from Samsung. Samsung has done well in make the device thinner and lighter than before. It is 8.3mm slim and weighs 168g.

The design of the Nexus 5 is going to be somewhat similar to that of new Nexus 7 tablet. According to the leaks, the exterior will be housed with smooth plastic and it will sport a large Nexus logo. The logo will be same like the one present on new Nexus 7 tablet. So, like the Note 3, the Nexus 5 will feature plastic body. We are not sure about its dimensions but is should be thinner and lighter than the older Nexus 4.

Storage
For United States, the Korean tech giant is only offering 32GB storage variant of Galaxy Note 3. The Nexus 4 was available in two storage variants, namely 8GB and 16GB. Going by this, we feel that the Nexus 5 will also be made available in two storage variants. Some analysts think that this time around, Google will not offer 8GB version but will rather roll out 16GB and 32GB version of the device.

Notable Differences
S-Pen feature which is exclusively available on the Galaxy Note 3 allows users to draw and write on the display of the device. It is coupled with some useful software as well. Well, the Nexus 5 will not come with a stylus.

The back cover of the Note 3 is removable which makes it quite easy to replace the battery with a new battery in case the battery dies or malfunctions. According to FCC filings, the Nexus 5 will come with non-removable back cover which will not allow users to remove the battery.

The external storage on the Galaxy Note 3 allows you add up to 64GB of microSD card. Until now, Google has not offered external microSD card slot on its Nexus smartphones, so it is quite expected that the Nexus 5 will not offer external storage but will rather come with massive cloud storage space.

Software
Galaxy Note 3 was fortunate to come out with the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. Also, it has got TouchWiz UI laid over the Android OS. However, Google has always been known to roll out new Android OS update with new Nexus devices. The Android 4.4 KitKat update has been announced but it is yet to release. It is likely that the Nexus 5 will come with all new Android 4.4 KitKat.

Pricing
Galaxy Note 3 is going to be priced at 299USD on contract thanks to the massive display and loads of features it brings. Since Google has not announced the Nexus 5 yet, the details on the price are not yet known. However, because it will come with LTE support, the price of the handset may go up to 399USD for 16GB variant and 450USD for 32GB variant. Both the devices will be shipped unlocked.

Google Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 Kit kat, Features, Release Date Discussed

September 13, 2013 By Jack M. Robinson 1 Comment

Rumors about the new Google Nexus 5 have gained momentum with the launch month of October drawing closer. Google had come out with a video show casing their Android 4.4 Kit Kat and the device on which the OS was shown to be running on was some unknown smartphone device. The conclusion therefore logically drawn was that the device itself was the Nexus 5. The video also shows the device to be made by LG giving further credibility to the conclusion.

Details about the new device, which we are concluding to be the Nexus 5 has also been listed in the FCC site albeit a scratchy one. Those who are interested to learn more about what the Nexus 5 could be like can see the rendered version of the set on some sites created by Droid-life. These rendered projections show the large Nexus logo on the rear of the device as well as the camera and flash which comes along with. The device can be expected to be slimmer in design while sporting around a 5 inches display. Another of its design feature could be its thin bezel layout.

The device could bear some sort of a resemblance with the LG G2 which has a 5 inch screen and a display of 1080p resolution. The core processor would be a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip. The FCC listing indicates the device to support LTE. Retailing of the Nexus 5 could be via the AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint channels as they had launched their Nexus 7 via Verizon with support for their 4G LTE network.

Another area where the Nexus 5 could be excelling the competition is the inclusion of a higher specced camera what with Google rumored to be collaborating with Nikon on this. Apple has already upped the ante on this by incorporating a more advanced camera on the new iPhone 5s which leaves Google quite some room to innovate and improve.

As for its launch, experts believe it could be end October when the Nexus 5 is eventually made official. That is about the same time the Nexus 4 was launched. Another factor backing the above speculation is that this would make for a nice gift for Android fans worldwide as the Google operating system celebrates its birthday on Nov 5^th.
