Introducing Google's Nexus 5 smart phone

Technology is really moving at the speed of light, the smartphone you have today can become a walkie talkie next week or even tomorrow.
The technology scene is a very competitive one, with companies swallowing up each other, and underdogs fighting for the top spot.
Blackberry came and swept Nokia, Android phones have now taken over the scene and sent blackberry packing...
Google isn't left out of this war, as they have finally pulled the curtain off their new device Nexus 5...
The Nexus 5 would be the first device to feature the latest android OS codenamed Kitkat (android 4.4).
The Android 4.4 OS has faster multitasking and full voice control, according to Google, and a smarter caller ID system so that if the number dialing in isn't on your contacts list then Android will take a guess at who it is using businesses listed on Google Maps.
KitKat devices can now send documents to printers directly using Google Cloud Print or HP's ePrint system, and Quickoffice has been redesigned to make finding files easier and editing documents and spreadsheets more simple.
Google has stuck with LG as its hardware maker for the Nexus 5, rather than switching to Motorola as some rumors had suggested. Nexus 5 comes with a five-inch 1920-by-1080-pixel display (that's 445 pixel per inch) and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor running at 2.3GHz with 2GB of RAM, (my current Hp compaq laptop runs @ 2.1Ghz, lol), thIs phone is a computer, I just might sell my laptop to buy this phone...
LTE and dual-aerial Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) is built in and the handset has two cameras – a bog-standard 1.3Mp front facer for videoconferencing and an 8Mp rear camera. For auteurs, there's also a new HDR+ mode that takes multiple shots quickly and combines them into a single photo that takes the best features from each image.
The new Nexus – one of the most gossiped-about smartphones in a while – is the slimmest one yet at 69.17 x 137.84 x 8.59mm and weighs in at 130g. Google claims the 2,300mAh battery is good for 17 hours of talk time, 300 hours of standby, 8.5hours with of WiFi use!!! This sort of battery life makes a blackberry look like a mere toy, it also has wireless charging and NCF
The Nexus 5 will cost $349 for the 16GB version and $399 for 32GB of storage, but there's no slot to fit any removable media, presumably since we're all supposed to be cloudy these days. Google has also eschewed Apple and Motorola Mobility's fruity color schemes – the Nexus 5 is available in black and white only.
