Following the success of the Nexus 4, LG and Google have partnered once again to deliver the first smartphone to feature the latest Android operating system, Android 4.4, KitKat. Packed with new features, the Nexus 5 is the slimmest and fastest Google Nexus phone to date.
With a stunning 5-inch Full HD IPS display, Nexus 5 boasts an expansive screen for a fantastic visual experience. The lightweight smartphone is the perfect combination of powerful performance, functionality and convenience thanks to LG’s hardware and the best of Google’s software and services.
“LG and Google’s first collaboration, the Nexus 4, was a huge success in NZ so we’re excited to be partnering with Google once again to build on this success,” said Glen Chean, National Marketing Manager for LG Electronics New Zealand. “Nexus 5 offers ground-breaking functionality in a modern design, and is a testament to the level of innovation that can be generated when two companies such as LG and Google come together for a second time.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with LG on a new Nexus device,” said Sundar Pichai, Senior Vice President of Android, Chrome, and Apps at Google. “Google Nexus 5 is the slimmest and fastest Nexus phone to date and puts the latest platform innovations of Android 4.4, KitKat, right in the hands of consumers.”
“2degrees is very pleased to follow up last year’s Nexus 4 with the new Nexus 5,” says Malcolm Phillipps, Chief Marketing Officer at 2degrees. “We have seen a very loyal and enthusiastic group of customers who love the Android experience they get from the Nexus devices. This is the perfect platform to take advantage of our Carryover and Shared Data offerings.”
The Nexus 5 camera features LG’s acclaimed optical image stabilizer technology, which was first introduced in LG products, and the new LG G2. The Nexus 5 features an 8MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for taking video and images with less blur than non OIS enabled phones. Nexus 5 also includes Photo Sphere making it easy to capture a series of images and turn them into a 360-degree experience. The device can also now create Auto Awesome photos and movies from the content in your library to share with friends and family via Google. Additionally, the improved HDR+ mode in the Nexus 5 capturesa burst of shots and applies computational photography to intelligently fuse these images together into one perfect photo with a greater range of shadows and light culled from the multiple exposure and colour data.
Nexus 5 is the world’s first phone running Android 4.4, KitKat, offering the power of Google in a thin and lightweight device that retains a solid and reassuring feel. With a blazing fast SnapdragonTM 800 processor and 4G (LTE) network capability, Nexus 5 also boasts a 445 ppi Full HD IPS display with advanced in-cell touch technology that enables smooth touch recognition, bright outdoor visibility, and clear and crisp images. This set of features is packaged into a sleek, modern design that leaves no doubt that this is Google’s premium smartphone.
Android 4.4 is fast, powerful, and simple to use. The new contact dialer system automatically suggests contacts the more frequent you call them whilst Google Caller ID matches an incoming phone number to a business even if that number isn’t stored withinthe contact list. Furthermore, users can send and receive text messages directly from Hangouts, and Hangouts for Android now supports location sharing.
With Gmail, Chrome, Calendar, Maps, Drive, and Hangouts, Nexus 5 helps users manage their day-to-day lives with familiar, easy-to-use applications. With Google Now, initiating a voice search is as simple as saying “Ok, Google,” and with more than one million apps and games, plus movies, books, and music on Google Play, it’s easier than ever to find what you’re looking for.
The Nexus 5 will be available in New Zealand through 2degrees stores and Warehouse Stationery stores nationwide in black and white from mid November at a recommended retail price of $699 with a 24 month warranty.
