Nexus 5 Release Date 2013: In Stores By October? South Korean News Outlet Claims Phone Will Be Released By Autumn

The Nexus 5 release date will be sometime in Oct. and it will feature similar specs to the recently released LG G2, a report originating from a South Korean news outlet confirms, according to the Christian Post.  

The Vice President of LG Europe recently stated that the Nexus 4 was a "great success" and mentioned that "they'd do it again," leaving MyDrivers.com to believe LG and Google will collaborate on the Nexus 5 and make it similar to its predecessor.

That would mean $299 for a smartphone off-contract, a model that's seen significant sales, even with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (one of 2012′s highest-powered SoCs), SlashGear reports.

But a Nexus 5 manufactured by Sony has appeared in pictures and reveals a the same 20.7-megapixel camera rumoured for the Sony Honami with an LED flash and HDR, KnowYourMobile reports.

The images that were released are just a concepts of the new phone.

The Nexus 5 concept, produced by Ben Ling, shows a 4.6-inch full HD triluminous screen overlaid with Gorilla Glass 3 and runs on a quad core Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz paired with 2GB of RAM and Android 4.3, KnowYourMobile also reports.

The Nexus 5 will be manufactured by Motorola and will launch in Q4, an inside source said, according to KnowYourMobile.
