From the horse's mouth, we're hearing some unfortunate news: Google has taken to its Spanish support pages to announce that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is not on the list of devices to receive Android 4.4 KitKat. This seems a bit odd, given the new update's focus on "the next billion" and offering ...

Google today took wraps off its latest smartphone, the much-anticipated Nexus 5. In addition to being the fastest Nexus phone yet, it’s also slimmer and better looking than previous models.
The Nexus 5 measures in at just 8.59mm thick, just a millimeter thicker than the iPhone 5S. But the Nexus 5 has a substantially bigger 2300 mAH battery and a large 4.95-inch screen.
The phone offers up to 17 hours of talk time, or 8.5 hours of Internet browsing on Wi-Fi, or 7 hours on 4G LTE. Its display offers full 1080p resolution, and is covered with durable Gorilla Glass 3.
Under the hood, the Nexus 5 sports a fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, running at 2.3 GHz, with graphics powered by an Adreno 330 GPU running at 450MHz. It’s got an 8MP rear camera with built-in optical image stabilization, as well as a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video chats. Google also claims the camera offers improved daylight photos as well as crisp night time shots with minimal noise.
The Nexus 5 comes with Android 4.4 “KitKat” preinstalled, and like other Google phones, will be the first to get updates to new versions of the Android OS. Pricing for the Nexus 5 is $349(USD) with 16GB of storage, or $399 with 32GB. The phone is available in either white or black, and is available starting today over at the Google Play store.
Sure, it's got a protective Gorilla Glass 3 coating, but there's only one way to really protect that new Nexus 5: cases. If you're breathlessly refreshing the Play store for a shot at ordering Google's new handset, you may want to check out the associated bumper case (available in black, grey, red ...
Last year, Google unveiled a new wireless charging pad alongside the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, and the company has taken advantage of 2013 to come up with another one. This new charging pad has been announced in tandem with the Nexus 5, and will include support for it and the Nexus 7. It's supposed to ...
We have seen plenty of photos of the Google Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 Kit Kat over the last few days, the handset is now official and we have all the details on Google’s new Android smartphone. It would appear that the leaked Google Nexus 5 specifications were correct, the handset will come with the […]
It's about time. The Google-backed and LG-manufactured Nexus 5 is now really a reality, after countless rumors and leaks (a few of them coming from Google itself). The new device, which predictably boasts the latest and greatest version of Android known as KitKat (or 4.4, if you're so inclined), ...
After entirely too much teasing, Google has at last taken the wraps from Android 4.4 KitKat. The new mobile OS is based on efficiency that brings smartphones to "the next billion people," according to Android Senior VP Sundar Pichai. Google's own apps use less memory, and the interface will ...
