Nexus 5 Release Date Rumors: Available October 24? Google Sends Invitations To Press Event To Release New Phone

Google has sent out invitation to its press event to release the Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 2 on October 24, 2013, ChristianToday.com reports.

The tech giant finally sent out press invitations to the event, which will take place in New York City at 7 p.m., ChristianToday.com also reports.

But other rumors suggested that Google's Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat would be released together on October 15, according to CNET.com

That date comes from whispers around the campfire at Google Launchpad, a fortnight-long event run by the Big G for helping startups to develop their business, CNET.com also reports.

Specs-wise, the Nexus 5 doesn't look to be a major leap from the Nexus 4, though the 32GB storage would be a welcome addition to the Nexus 4's 8GB and 16GB options, ZDNet.com reports.

It's not known yet whether Google will launch two variants with different storage sizes, though such a move would be in keeping with Google's traditional pattern for hardware, ZDNet.com also reports.

Google confirmed to The Verge last week that it has no plans to restock the 8GB Nexus 4, BGR reports, pointing to the possible development and release date of the Nexus 5.

"While the 16GB model is still available in Google's online shop, this could be a very good indication that the next-generation Nexus 5 is on the way," BGR writes.

"And according unnamed sources speaking with Droid Life, the Nexus 5 will indeed launch sometime in October, likely toward the end of the month."
