Google has reportedly stopped manufacturing one of their most successful Android smartphones, Nexus 5.
A Techradar report said that device will be available for sale via Google Play Store by a few selected retailers up to first quarter of next year.
Nexus 5, the LG-owned smartphone, is available in 16 and 32GB variants and is counted among one of the most successful Android handsets available till date.
Powered by Android Kitkat 4.4, the Nexus 5 has already received the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. The phone measures at 69.17x137.84x8.59mm with a weight of just 130g. Sporting a 4.95-inch Full HD display at 445ppi, the Nexus 5 also features Corning Gorilla glass for added protection.
Featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC the Nexus 5 features a 2.26GHz processor along with Adreno 330 GPU, clocked at 450MHz. The device comes coupled with 2GB of RAM and available in two in-built memory variants.
The Nexus 5 features a 2,300mAh battery and all the required connectivity features including dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, NFC (Android Beam) and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. On the camera front it features an 8mp primary camera with Optical Image Stabilisation and a 1.3mp secondary camera for video calling.
Meanwhile, the device is also running out of sales in Indian version of Google Play Store, though it's been available via online retailer site like Ebay and Flipkart.
After launching the Nexus 6 on Google Online Shopping Festival 2014, the entire focus shifted to this flagship phone. The Nexus 6 stock emptied in a day after arrival and is expected to be back on sales in a few days.
