Nexus 5 Release Date Coming Soon, Smartphone Spotted Running Android 4.4, KitKat
The Nexus 5 release date must be coming soon as leaks seem to be surfacing more frequently as it approaches.
Two sites put up pictures of devices running Android 4.4, KitKat that were posted up by Android Authority earlier today.
The first of these was a Nexus 5 and the other featured a Nexus 7 running the software.
Various features that have already been leaked can be seen in the new pictures including the changed Downloads app. A possible Easter egg could be seen in the software as well.
Tapping multiple times on the Android version reveals the Easter egg which is the word Android featured in a KitKat-styled logo. However, the bottom of the screenshot reads "Key Lime Pie." This is the name that was used internally by Google.
Other screens such as Cloud Print, Downloads, a redesigned clock app, and the new Tap & pay option can also be seen in the pictures.
The Nexus 5 rumors regarding the smartphone featuring a MEMS camera proved not to be true.
DigitalOptics, the company who created the technology, claim that last week's reports stating that this camera would be on the Google device were not accurate and also issued a press release further clarifying this point.
"There has been speculation on who would be the first to bring the significant benefits of mems/cam to the mobile imaging market," wrote the company. "Last week, several technology news blogs reported that mems/cam was first being brought to market in another smartphone platform. Those reports were inaccurate."
The first OEM to release a MEMS camera equipped device will be OPPO, a leading Chinese smartphone OEM.
