Google's own-brand smartphones and tablets have always been coveted,
as they're generally high-spec, have the latest version of Android, get
the latest updates first and they're always incredibly well-priced. With
the Google Nexus 4 starting to look a bit outdated compared to the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z, it's no wonder that Google's looking for a successor.
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.
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.
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.
It has also been rumoured that the Nexus 5 will get a smart GPS-assisted camera module. According to a patent filed by Google, the Nexus 5 could tie the camera's settings to the GPS, to help you shoot better pictures.
The patent describes a system where the camera is aware of its location, along with weather information from the internet. Combined with other sensors on the device, including a light sensor, temperature sensor and accelerometer, the camera's settings can be fine-tuned 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 5.0, made available to other Android device manufacturers
Key Lime Pie is likely to be Android 5.0. Its new features should include Babble, a unified messaging client, and Google Games, an iOS-like games centre. Other features haven't been leaked yet, but further performance tweaks and a update to the user interface, should be on the way.
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.

GOOGLE NEXUS 5 ANDROID
Most Google devices launch with a brand-new version of the operating system, so it seems reasonable that the Nexus 5 will do the same. With Android Key Lime Pie likely to be announced at Google IO, taking place between May 15th to May 17th 2013, that would seem to be the likely operating system for the Nexus 5.Key Lime Pie is likely to be Android 5.0.
