Pretty much guaranteed to once and for all break cover on September 29, and subsequently begin pre-orders around mid-October, the second-generation Nexus 5, aka Nexus 5X, has made headlines countless times lately with
The post LG Nexus 5 (2015) leaks yet again, this time with average specs in tow appeared first on Pocketnow.
Whether it really was the real deal or not, Monday’s leaked (purported) LG Nexus 5 render gave us probably the best look at the upcoming smartphone, granted, just for the back of it. One day later we not only saw two (black and white) color options, but we were treated with a look at the smartphone’s side, but, as we get close to that rumored October 13 launch date, accessory manufacturers (especially case makers) ...

Just over a month ago, Google announced a big change to how it distributed updates for its Nexus series of devices. In light of some recent high-profile security vulnerabilities affecting huge swaths of the Android landscape, Google decided that it really had to step up its game when it came to patching holes, and going forward, the company would be issuing new security updates to its Nexus models on a monthly basis. ...

When rumors first suggested that LG could return to the Nexus table in 2015, we immediately started wondering about what kind of phone that would mean we could look forward to. Would LG give us a model that followed the design language of its recent G-series flagships, or would the phone instead be cut from the same cloth as 2013’s Nexus 5? The phone we’ve ended up getting to know from leaks and renders over these past few weeks has certainly seemed more like the latter, and now a new side-by-side comparison attempts to show us just how much they have in common – and some ...

It doesn’t get much clearer and more authentic than this. Even though it’s technically unreleased, unannounced and unconfirmed yet, that’s almost definitely the Google/LG Nexus 5 (2015) pictured above.Verified by two separate and extremely dependable sources, the image is apparently not a render, and for the most part, lines up with previously leaked,

They say there’s no smoke without fire and, while we can’t really authenticate any of the profuse Nexus-centric rumors and leaks of late, it seems certain two stock Android-running Google phones will soon break cover.How soon? Within a few weeks as far as the smaller, lower-end LG-made 5-incher is concerned, according to fresh ...

Fishy as can be, recent rumors concerning the two upcoming new Google Nexus smartphones at the very least give credence to the existence of an LG-made N5 (2015) and upgraded N6 designed by Huawei.Larger and, in all probability, more technically advanced, the Huawei Nexus has spent

The rumor mill has been clamoring with stories regarding a couple of new entries in the Nexus franchise this fall, and most tipsters seem convinced LG and Huawei will join forces with Google before long. The former manufacturer may return to finally upgrade the two-year-old Nexus 5, and we’ve just got the scoop on another big ...

Rather than leaving us guessing right up until the last minute, earlier this week we saw Google take the mystery out of its Android M name, confirming the release as Android 6.0 Marshmallow. At the same time, it made with the release of a new SDK, as well as the third (and final) preview ROMs for Nexus-series hardware. Of course, sometimes even “final” releases end up needing a tweak or two, and now Google’s got some updated factory images for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and Nexus Player.While ...

As far as form-factor goes, the original Nexus 5 is arguably one of the best I’ve seen in the last several years – and that’s saying a lot! Its 4.95-inch screen comprised almost 71% of the phone’s face and hit the sweet spot between functional size and pocketability. That screen packed in the pixels, too, with a full HD (1080 x 1920) display at a pixel density of around 445 ppi.Where is this guy when you need him?Sure, inner workings of the Nexus 5 are a bit dated ...
The post I loved the original Nexus 5, but the 2015 Nexus 5 rumors have me worried appeared first on Pocketnow.
To be able to get the most out of your smartphone or tablet, you really need to be able to trust it: trust it with details about your personal life, your finances, and plenty of other specifics that you’d rather not fall into the wrong hands. The companies behind these devices are growing more cognizant to that fact, and we just heard from Samsung about how it intends to make security a big priority going forward, and plans to deliver monthly security updates to its Android phones. Just after ...

The days of the Nexus 5 are rapidly drawing to a end. Back in December, we heard that production of the 2013 Nexus flagship had wrapped up, and that once existing stocks of the Android smartphone sold out, that would be all she wrote. Google insisted that it would keep selling the handset for as long as it could, specifically mentioning sales continuing into Q1 2015, but it made no assurances beyond that point. Problem was, even though the listing was still active, Google hasn’t been selling the phone ...

I like a flagship phones just as much as the next guy, but you know what I like even more? Not having to fork over a fistfull of cash! Who’s with me? Yeah, I thought so. Nonetheless, I still picked up a Nexus 6 just as soon as Google would take my money. I love my Nexus 6, but other than a bigger screen and a battery that charges fast, it’s not much different than my Nexus 5, and my Nexus 5 cost a few hundred bucks less! Score one for the Nexus 5, right? WRONG! Even the Nexus 5, with it’s very decent specs, is still way overpriced! That’s not what we thought back ...

I’ve been using the Nexus 6 as my daily driver for several days now. It’s a beautiful phone! It’s fast, has excellent graphics, a camera that does everything I need it to, and a battery that I’ve been longing for! The only down-side? It’s big. REALLY big! It’s for that reason that the Nexus 5 should stick around for another year – if not more!To start things off, I’m not a small man, and I’ve got quite large hands. No, we’re not talking ...

By this point, most currently-supported Nexus devices have seen the release of Android 5.0.1 for their hardware. Google was quick to send out OTA updates for its WiFi tablets, and last week we started seeing the arrival of updates for phones like the Nexus 4 and Nexus 6. While all that was great, we were a little curious about what wasn’t ...
