Google Nexus 5 Release Date: Rumors Point To October 14 Launch Together With Android 4.4 KitKat, Leaked Photos Of New Device Reveal LG As Manufacturer [SEE IT HERE]

Google Nexus 5 release date has finally an exact date pegged. Based on a report from Android-focused blog, Ausroid, a tipped they’ve received says that the magic date for the Nexus 5 release will be October 14. The site is also reported that it will be released with Android 4.4 KitKat .

The site, however, noted that it’s taking the advice with a grain of salt. But based on usually correct rumors, once a date of launch floats in the news, the actual time it’s released is only a few days earlier or after.

According to Business Insider, leaked photos by gadget-leaker EVLeaks of the next smartphone from Google are already on a viral spread in various review sites and consumer tech blogs. The photos are reportedly said to have come from the FCC with Phonescoop being the first to show them off.

Steve Kovach of Business Insider reported that the phone will be manufactured by LG and is scheduled to appear somewhere this fall which is the usual launching time for Google as seen with its Nexus flagship phones. From what can be seen in the leaked photos, the phone will follow suit of the recent G2 from LG.

Business Insider reported that the Nexus 5 will most probably be sold unlocked just like the previous Google phones and will come at a very reasonable price tag like the current Nexus 4 that is already retailing for just under $200. This is $300 less than what you would expect to pay for an unlocked smartphone today.

After a bit of testing by Business Insider, the website states that the LG G2 is already looking like one of the best in the market in terms of screens available on a smartphone. There is practically no bezel and the screen is of a generous size and bright. If the LG G2 is anything to go by with what to expect from the Nexus 5, the soon to be launched smartphone will be a ground shaker.
