Google has its I/O event in May, and it’s thought this is when it’ll reveal the next Nexus handset, if rumours are right. We don’t know much about this Google Nexus 5, its specs and so forth, but the word is that LG will be making it and it’ll be based on its new model. This will, if it’s true, make this phone the second LG-Google device. The first Nexus handset was 2010’s Nexus One, then this was followed by the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung the following year. The LG Nexus 4 has turned out to be the most popular Nexus handset, and this may be why Google has stuck with LG. The company may also stick with a similar-looking price tag, too. The Nexus 4 sold out pronto – as soon as it hit the Google Play Store – and stock problems have made it an elusive creature ever since. Sources reckon that LG is working on the prototype for the Google Nexus 5, which may come with Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie). KLP has remained a bit of a mystery, so we won’t know much about it until May. We do think, though, that the Nexus 5 will have a 5” True HD IPS+ LCD screen, with a 1080×1920 resolution and 441ppi. It may lack physical hardware buttons and rely on software buttons instead, as in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The big chip guys were touting their wares at CES earlier this year. Samsun was bigging up its Octo-core Exynos 5 Octa chip, while Qualcomm was showing off its Snapdragon 600 and 800 processors. Nvidia revealed its Tegra 4. It’s unlikely that the Exynos eight-core will be in the Nexus 5, as Samsung doesn’t outsource its chips. The Tegra 4 and the Snapdragon 800 aren’t likely candidates, either. Qualcomm said that its new chips would debut in a summer handset, and May, when the Nexus 5 is supposed to be out, is not the summer. The Tegra 4 doesn’t have LTE, which is a big selling point for the Nexus 5, given that the Nexus 4 missed out on it last year and got slated for this omission. So, it might be the Snapdragon 600 in the next Nexus 5, although some think it might be an overclocked Snapdragon S4 Pro. We might be getting an 1.7Ghz Krait processor with an Adreno 320 GPU. The phone might have a 13MP camera with LED flash and Street View PhotoSphere. The rest of the Nexus 5’s specs aren’t quite so staggering – it’ll have LTE and NFC, as well as 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microUSB and a3.5mm audio jack. We’ll have to wait and see what turns out to be true and what’s just a rumour. There’s also the Motorola X rumours doing the rounds, so we may be in for a surprise. Есть еще инфа
