Long awaited and the subject of various anticipations, the googlephone Nexus 5 has indeed been presented. The event also concerned the launch of the new Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, which naturally makes its triumphant debut precisely on the Nexus 5.

The smartphone, it should be remembered, was created in collaboration with the company LG and faithfully follows the development of the new LG G2.

In summary, the processor used is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 at 2.26 GHz with the support of 2 GB of RAM and with two internal memory options available: 16 GB and 32 GB. This detail affects the price, which we will discuss shortly.

Regarding the screen, it is a 5-inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1920×1080 (445 ppi), with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 technology. Everything is encased in a slim body: the thickness is 8.59 millimeters, the height is 137.84 millimeters, and the total width is 69.17 mm, condensed into a total of 130 grams.

The strong point of the Nexus 5, according to Google, is its speed, due not only to the processor but also to the connectivity modules: suitable for browsing on LTE networks, it also features ultra-fast dualband 2.4G/5G WiFi.

Another point of merit is the battery which, according to the estimates of the two companies, should support 300 hours of operation in standby and up to about 17 hours of talk time. The most important figure now, however, is related to connectivity session endurance: it is about 8 and a half hours.

Finally, the camera is 8 Megapixels.

Here are the prices for the Nexus 5 in Italy, available in black or white, when purchased directly in unlocked version on the Play Store:

– Nexus 5 16 GB: 349 euros;

– Nexus 5 32 GB: 399 euros.
