Clearing inventory is always a positive sign something new is on its way. With last month's sudden $100 price cut to the Nexus 4, Google has now sold out of all of its supply. That only means one thing: the Nexus 5 is due any day now.
If early rumors hold true, the Nexus 5 will once again be built by LG and will be based off the recently announced G2's specs, minus the rear volume/home button placement.
According to Phone Arena, the Nexus 5 may have a 4.96-inch display (1080p), which is smaller than the G2's 5.2-inch screen, but larger than the 4.7-inch on the Nexus 4. Internally, it may have a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 2,300mAh battery (down from the G2's 3,000mAh battery) and the G2's 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization.
The Nexus 5 will reportedly be the first Android device to run 4.4 KitKat (we're still shuddering at the name) when it arrives by the end of the year.
Here's a 3D render by deuxani of what the Nexus 5 may look like based on leaked specs and dimensions:
To see what is likely the Nexus 5 in action, hit up 9to5Google for some low-qual shots and two really short videos. We're not even going to get into the details of the Google employee that apparently left the prototype device charging at a bar (déjà vu anyone?)
The big question: will Google sell the Nexus 5 at the incredible Nexus 4 prices? Fingers crossed.
