Dec 2010 - Nexus S
Nov 2011 - Galaxy Nexus
Nov 2012 - Nexus 4
July 2012 - Nexus 7
July 2013 - New Nexus 7
As you can see: Google likes to release devices every 11-12 months.
And right now, they have a special on discounting the existing Nexus 4 stock… was $299, now $199. This is typical when one wants to clear out the old stock before the new model arrives!
regarding the new release, yeah, and Amazon should release soon their new kindle fire also (probably full HD), as they’re giving away their stock to developers and lowered recently their price by $50 (but it seems they raised back)… and Apple should release their iPhone 5S and/or the low-cost iPhone… many new releases on the next 2 months
I personally am waiting for a smaller Note phone (there was rumour about slower, cheaper Note) because since buying Note 10.1 I can’t live without a stylus.
“Exciting! Nexus 5 is here! It’s now available on +Google Play in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and Korea (and coming soon to India): http://goo.gl/ThuqCS”
The 32GB Nexus 5 is $399 in the US, and $449 in Australia. That’s a $50 markup for the Australian market. Not as bad as some devices, but it would be nice if the pricing could reflect our near-parity exchange rate for once.
Overall it looks like a solid device though. Looking forward to seeing the hands-on reviews.
don’t know if i’m too bothered with this, still happy with my nexus 4 and i was never one to get the latest-and-greatest just for the sake of it. if i was buying a new android, i would 100% NEED an SD card slot and removable battery.
doesn’t matter anyway as the big G don’t sell them to Irish customers even though UK order are fulfilled from Dublin!
