Nexus 5 Price leaks via Play Store listing, 16GB for $349

 

 

After multiple, high quality leaks detailing the specifications, design flourishes and benchmarks, the only things we didn't know about the Nexus 5 were the price and a release date. Thankfully, albeit accidentally, Google have managed to add the price of the Nexus 5 to the repository of leaked information. According to Google's own play store, the Nexus 5 should hit the market at an extremely low $349 USD or about 21400Rs before any fees or taxes. Fully unlocked. How Google are able to hit the price point shown, especially given the impressive specifications of the Nexus 5 is quite frankly unbelievable. In case you've forgotten, the Nexus 5 is said to feature a 1080p display, a Snapdragon 800 processor, 8 Megapixel camera, LTE and Qi wireless charging. A full breakdown is available here. Considering  that a similarly spec-ed iPhone costs about twice the price, Google and LG could very well have a winner on their hands. High end specifications at a mid-range price point is a winning combination in anyone's books. The Nexus 5 is expected to launch alongside Android 4.4 KitKat which is expected to arrive on October 28th according to some interesting hints provided by KitKat's own twitter account.
