Rumor has it that Google will be serving up multiple Nexus phones (Nexi?) in November. The latest rumor is that HTC will be offering a “phablet” Nexus with a five-inch screen, appropriately called the Nexus 5. According to a GSM Arena tipster, the Nexus 5 will have a 1080p five-inch screen, Android 4.1.2, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, a 12-megapixel camera, a 2,500 mAh battery, LTE connectivity, and 64GB of storage.
As some of you know, I’m a big fan of HTC. Not many Android phone manufacturers use top-notch materials and bold designs. HTC is one of the few (Motorola is another). I would strongly consider moving to an HTC Nexus 5 sold on Google Play, with updates provided by Google and not crap-bag carriers. I love HTC’s build quality and its use of Super LCD screens (as opposed to Super AMOLED).
Are any of you interested in the rumored Nexus 5 by HTC?
Would the rumored multiple devices be because they want to release Nexi (hehe) for all of the LTE bands? I could see Google throwing the Nexus brand back to HTC after the last 2 Samsung models. I wonder if it will be AMOLED instead of LCD?
Apparently this was in the works for a while. It would also make sense for Motorola to have a Nexus since it’s Google owned. I’m would guess that HTC would go with LCD, since the model this is (allegedly) based on uses SLCD2.
