Nexus 5, the icing on Google devices - Expansión.com

The successful launch of the Nexus 5 a few weeks ago, Google’s smartphone manufactured by LG, puts us on the track of a new selling, although Google, unlike other companies, do not offer figure of units sold.

In our country, the 16GB model sold out in less than an hour, while only had to wait five days for the same thing happen with the 32 GB. The poster also hung out at the online store of the company in other countries, comoAlemania, UK or Denmark.

Why such success? The first key is that this is a smartphone sir. Its 5-inch screen Full HD 800 processor Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core 2.26 GHz or 2 GB of RAM have nothing to envy to the specifications of the most desirable premium market phones like the Apple iPhone 5S or Samsung Galaxy S4. The Nexus 5 can also compete with them in terms of data having two cameras (8 and 1.3 megapixels), your connectivity (4G/LTE, Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band wifi) or autonomy of your battery. And also features the latest Android 4.4 operating system Kit Kat, which puts it ahead of most of its competitors-charging Android-as far as software is concerned.

a very affordable price But if the Nexus 5 is being a real bombshell in sales is its price. For 349 euros (16GB) or $ 399 (32GB), no phone with these specifications. In fact, to continue the comparison with two premium smartphones in the market, the device free Google costs just half the iPhone 5S, the prices for their similar versions reach 699 euros (16 GB) and 799 euros (32 GB ).

Samsung Galaxy S4

is at an intermediate price range, but still considerably more expensive than the Nexus 5 (between 120 and 200 euros, depending on where you purchase). In fact, these figures have led many analysts to speculate that Google is selling their handsets at cost or a really small margin. What is beyond doubt is that its value is very attractive, which is key in today’s market.
