Google Nexus 5 is now available from Google Play Store. Google has listed the phone from quite sometime with the coming soon tag and today they took off the coming soon tag and is shipping in 1 or 2 days. Google is selling the phone for Rs. 28,999 for Nexus 5 16GB version and Rs. 32,999 for 32GB version. Google Nexus 5 is available in Black and White colors.
Google Nexus 5 originally launched the phone this October 31st with Android 4.4 KitKat. Nexus 5 marks the first Nexus device to be available in India after short time since its launch, earlier Nexus devices came to India very late. The phone is also available from other retailers including some online retailers but you have to shell out Rs. 1000 more to buy from them.
LG made the Nexus 5 and it features a 4.95-inch full HD display, it is powered by a 2.3GHz Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 Processor. It packs 2GB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. It comes with Android 4.4 KitKat operating system out of the box along with a Google launcher currently exclusive to this phone.
Google Nexus 5 received good reviews when it launched, the only caveat is the less than stellar Camera, which Google is going to fix it in later updates through a new Camera API fix. It is the best phone in its class and more importantly it is quite affordable compared to other phones in the market.
The 32 GB is out of stock :(. I was really hoping to buy one for my dad on his birthday in December. I guess I’ll have to find some other phone to gift him now.
