Nexus 5 release date rumors continue to intensify even further especially since the Google Play event set in New York City is about to begin in just a  few hours from now.

According to rumors, Nexus 5 release date is set for October 24, during an event for Google Play. In fact, Google has already sent out invitations for the event, which reads, "Join us for a night out with Google Play - Music, movies, games and a special performance by Capital Cities." The Google Play event is set to start at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT.

Although, there is no confirmation yet whether new devices will be present at the event, experts and tech fans believe that it could also be the Nexus 5 release date, as well as the launching day for another next-gen Google product, the Nexus 10 2. Moreover, it is also expected that Nexus 5 release date will coincide with the arrival of the latest mobile OS, the Android 4.4 KitKat.

The rumors about Nexus 5 release date heated up even more when the LG-built new Google smartphone appeared on Google Play Store last week, as posted on International Business times. This led experts to believe that Nexus 5 release date is just around the corner, and it is most likely to be unveiled before October ends. And if Google fans are lucky enough, they might not need to wait for another week as the smartphone may already take the center stage tomorrow, October 24, during the highly anticipated Google's press event.

And more recently, another proof popped up suggesting that Nexus 5 release date is already nearing. Reportedly, pre-order listings for the upcoming Google smartphone have emerged on a popular auction site, eBay.

One of them listed the Nexus 5 with a whopping price of $650, which is enormously more expensive than the rumored pricing of the smartphone. According to unofficial reports, Nexus 5 price may be set for $300-$400 dollars only.

Meanwhile, October 30-November 11 is the scheduled posted for the shipment of the device.

But despite these pre-order listings available, interested customers should still be careful when availing the smartphone based on these pre-order listing.
