Google and HTC brewing a 5-inch phablet called Google Nexus 5


I must admit that I am a bit of an HTC fan when it comes to android devices. Their semi-aluminum body curves out a boundary to other android brands. However in 2012, the company has come from being on top of the android players to being “quietly” hibernating in the past two quarters. The announcement of their Windows Phone devices recently may have made a spark but to keep the ball rolling - Google is reported to do a Nexus “phablet” under the Taiwanese glutton.


The device will be named as Google Nexus 5 which was originally rumored to be the DROID Incredible X smartphone. Significantly, it will run an improved version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.2) that carries bug fixes, enhancements to project butter and more functional lockscreen.

The Nexus 5 will obviously have a 5-inch screen with full HD 1020p resolution. Plus, the possibly of it having a quad-core processor is a no-brainer, a Snapdragon S4 probably. Camera-wise, the 12MP shooter would suffice. The battery will juice up with 2500mAh and 4G LTE will keep it under the radar of android flagships.

I’m sure everyone is keeping an eye to this story. Stay tuned.
