Though we all were looking forward to some new announcement about the Nexus 5 at Google I/O last week (not to mention a few other things that hardly got a notice, if at all), we were left instead with Google's recent nod to the Google edition of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
For those who are still wondering what the LG Nexus 5 could look like or what features and specs it may rock, we've discovered a new concept design that may seem a bit outrageous... but also a bit awesome.
In an article it published on Tuesday, May 21, Phones Review, which has exhibited some pretty interesting concept designs in the past, has shown off yet another design, this time for the wacky Nexus 5 concept courtesy of none other than Deviantart user TheTechnoToast.
"Features stock Android 4.3, a 32 (that's right, 32) megapixel camera (front and back) that shoots up to 4K resolution video, a 3.2 Ghz Octo-core processor, 8GB of RAM and a 7000mAh battery that lasts up to a week on a single charge," TheTechnoToast says, with a clear underlying nod to the truly outlandish quality of its wish list ("that's right, 32"; and 4K resolution video?).
Deviantart goes on to state that this concept design for the Nexus 5 imagines a phone with "standard connectivity features" including the likes of "NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 4G connectivity, etc."
Other features and specs of the new Nexus 5 concept include:
- A spring-loaded removable back that will allow you to more easily access the Micro SD card slot, dual-sim slots and battery
- Full HD 1080p
- 4.8 inches screen (459ppi)
- Thinner but heavier than a Nexus 4 to "give the Nexus 5 more of a premium feel"
- Front and back is covered with Gorilla Glass 4 - an unbreakable/"unscratchable" glass
The new Nexus 5 concept also integrates a "stainless steel band that wraps around the phone."
"[W]hile most of these specs on a smartphone may be a few years away yet," Phone Reviews concludes, "there is nothing wrong with dreaming."
