Nexus 5 arrival could be indicated by Nexus 4 sale removal, rumor
The Google Nexus 5 smartphone has been the subject of a lot of
curiosity since rumors about it first surfaced some time ago. Initially
it seemed pretty likely that it might be introduced at Google’s I/O
event this month but the closer that has come the less likely it has
seemed. Now though, some UK retailers are removing the Nexus 4 from
sale and this has led to rumors that the Nexus 5 may be introduced
sooner rather than later.
We’ve heard so many leaks on the Nexus 5 now including various leaked
specs and recently told of a report saying that LG was to be the manufacturer
although this is not confirmed. Google I/O runs from May 15 – 17 but
although many were eagerly anticipating a showing of the Nexus 5 at the
event there were recent reports that Google was not happy with the
device so far and the phone was now not likely to appear until August at the earliest and maybe as late as November.
So is it possible that the Nexus 5 may be closer to appearing than recently thought?
It seems that some UK retailers are removing the Nexus 4 device from
sale leading to a rumor that this is to make way for the Nexus 5. Both
Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U have taken the Nexus 4 off the shelves
although it is still available from other retailers and from Google Play
online.
Of course it’s not surprising that this should have led to
speculation that the Nexus 5 may be released earlier than expected.
However, we should point out that we also heard recently that an updated Nexus 4
version with LTE and 32GB of internal storage could be introduced at
the I/O developer conference. It may be then that the growing
excitement that the Nexus 5 could be appearing after all is premature.
We don’t wish to throw cold water over this hot rumor but it is
realistic to think the LTE version of the Nexus 4 may simply be on its
way rather than the highly anticipated Nexus 5. It’s not too much
longer now though until Google I/O so we will find out very soon exactly
what the truth is. Of course we will be following all of the I/O event
and will let you know as soon as we hear further developments. Phones
Review would like to thank Viral Phone for the above information. You may also be interested in a recent leaked image (here) of an unknown LG phone that could possibly be the Nexus 5.
Are you hoping that the withdrawal of the Nexus 4 at some
retailers does indeed indicate an arrival for the Nexus 5? Maybe you
think the upgraded Nexus 4 is more likely to transpire? Let us know
with your comments.
