Google is likely to announce the LG-made Nexus 5 very soon, which will replace the discontinued Nexus 4 as the company's flagship Nexus smartphone. Similar to the iPhone 5S, it will be competing for attention into 2014, Gotta Be Mobile reports.
The Google Nexus 5 release date is not yet confirmed, but is expected to be announced in the next week, Gotta Be Mobile reports. The website notes that the release of the smartphone is likely to come by the middle of November, before Black Friday.
The iPhone 5S was released last month, but almost immediately encountered supply issues. For weeks now, the iPhone 5S has been in short supply, with Apple Stores and carriers still experiencing stock shortages for all colors, Gotta Be Mobile reports.
In terms of design, the Nexus 5 will likely have a completely different design. Thanks to numerous leaks, it seems the LG Nexus 5 design will differ from both the Nexus 4 and the iPhone 5S in that it will likely use a black matte material that appears to resemble the Nexus 7 design.
Though specific dimensions are unknown for the Nexus 5, it is likely that it will be a slimmer and lightweight version of Nexus 4.
The iPhone 5S uses the same overall design as the iPhone 5, utilizing a design made of glass and metal. Specifically, the iPhone 5S measures in at 7.6mm thin, extremely thin for a flagship smartphone, and weighs a mere 112 grams, Gotta Be Mobile reports.
In terms of display, the Nexus 5 is rumored to have a larger display. Leaks reveal a near 5-inch display, with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 441 pixels-per-inch.
Apple kept the 4-inch Retina Display found on the iPhone 5 for the iPhone 5S, including a display that offers 1136 x 640 resolution at 326 pixels-per-inch.
