Google Nexus 5 smartphone released – UK prices and all the details
We have seen plenty of photos of the Google Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 Kit Kat over the last few days and the handset is official here’s all the details on Google’s new Android smartphone.
It would appear that the leaked Google Nexus 5 specifications were correct as the handset is loaded with the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 4.4 Kit Kat and features a 5-inch display.
That 5-inch screen features a full high definition resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels packing 445ppi.
Powering the Google Nexus 5, is a quad core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and Adreno 330 GPU with 2GB of RAM and a choice of 16GB or 32GB of built in storage.
The Google Nexus 5 also comes with a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and a rear facing 8 megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation. It also features a dual band 2.4/5GHzWiFi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Nexus 5 measures 8.59mm thick by 137.84mm tall by 69.7 mm wide and the device weighs in at 130g, it comes with a microUSB port, dual microphones, a 3.5 mm audio jack and wireless charging.
The Google Nexus 5 is available in two colors, white and black – more on that below 😉
UK prices – carriers adding to cost
Buy the device from Google’s Play Store is the rule of thumb for UK comsumers, although Carphone Warehouse is also offering the16GB model for £295.
Alternatively, if you head to one of the usual UK carriers you may find yourself paying quite a bit extra.
16GB PAYG | 32GB PAYG | SIM Price | |
| O2 | N/A | ||
| Three | N/A | ||
| Google Play | Free | ||
| Price Difference | £100 | £210 | N/A |
All white
The Nexus 5 seems to have already been quite the hit as Google has burned through stock, delaying the black version for a week for new orders.
The white version of Google’s new flagship phone is still in stock, and if you buy it now your new phone will leave the warehouse in one or two days. But if you want the black model, your order won’t leave the warehouse until 8 November.
Those quick off the mark last night should see their new phone ship in 1-2 business days, so it should hopefully be on its way today.
