New google Nexus 5 Android 4 4 KitKat Leaked Concept
GOOGLE NEXUS 5 SPECIFICATIONS
As with all of Google's own-brand products, the Nexus 5 will be manufactured by a partner. Apparently, the manufacturer hasn't been chosen yet, although leaked Nexus 5 specifications show that LG is once again in contention.
According to the leaked information, the Nexus 5 will have a 5.2in OLED display with a Full HD (1,920x1,080) resolution. It will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor running at 2.3GHz, and 3GB of PDDR3 memory. Phones will be available in 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. Essentially, it will be based closely on LG's own G2 smartphone, but we doubt the rear-facing volume buttons will make their way to Google's handset.
Not everyone believes the initial claims that the Nexus 5 will be such a high-end phone, though. More recent information challenges the Nexus 5 display rumours, stating the phone will have a 4.5in, 720p IPS screen. A lower-spec Qualcomm 600 quad-core processor running at 1.5GHz is supposedly also on the cards.
This seems unlikely based on leaked benchmark results, which put the Nexus 5 among the very best Android smartphones when it comes to performance.The GFXBench scores seemingly confirm the high-end specifications, although these are naturally subject to change until Google makes the handset official.
It has also been suggested that the Nexus 5 will get a smart GPS-assisted camera module. According to a Google patent filing, the Nexus 5 could tie the camera's settings to the GPS location to help you shoot better pictures.
The patent describes a system where the camera is aware of its location, along with weather information taken from the internet. Combined with other sensors including an accelerometer, light sensor and temperature sensor, the camera could fine-tune settings automatically to produce the best results.
What is not clear from the patent application is whether the feature, which is largely a software rather than hardware implementation, would be exclusive to Google's own-brand Nexus product lines or a standard function of Android 4.4 that would be made available to other Android device manufacturers.
Google, of course, is refusing to confirm any of the specs rumours, so we're going to have to wait a bit longer to find out what's going on and who's really manufacturing the handset.
GOOGLE NEXUS 5 ANDROID 4.4 KITKAT
Most Google devices launch with a brand-new version of the operating system, and now that the company has signed a deal with Nestle to call Android version 4.4 KitKat, it seems highly likely the Nexus 5 will be the debut device for the updated OS.
Android 4.4 KitKat is still very much under wraps at Google, but that hasn't stopped several purported screenshots from appearing online. 9to5Google has several images which apparently show redesigned stock apps including Messages and the phone dialler, as well as a new, flatter user interface that looks more than a little like Apple's iOS 7.
