Official Nexus 5!

It’s a 5” phone, and so much more. Built with precision, Nexus 5 delivers an intelligently simple design and showcases a stunning full HD display. Plus it comes in black and white.

Google’s Nexus program has a simple goal: make the best, purest, most perfect Android phone. And, beginning with last year’s Nexus 4, Google did all that at a remarkable price, charging with no strings attached what most carriers and manufacturers would charge with a two-year contract. The Nexus 4 had a few issues — its missing LTE support chief among them — but overall it was an excellent phone, a refined and usable example of Android’s prowess and possibilities.

That’s why Google’s new device, the Nexus 5, has been so remarkably hyped. It’s been leaking for months, speculated about for much longer — and today Google’s finally pulling the veil all the way back on the device that it hopes will show the world what Android can really do. The Nexus 5 is here.

The Nexus 5 is available today at the Google Play store. It’s a fully unlocked device, priced at $349 with no contract for the base 16GB model. The 32GB version prices in at $399, and both are available in white and black. It will work across a wide array of carriers — in the US, it will work on everything except Verizon.
