Nexus 5 and LTE Nexus 7 now available in T-Mobile stores

Just in time for the holidays, T-Mobile retail stores are now offering both the Nexus 5 smartphone and the LTE Nexus 7 tablet.

T-Mobile has just added two new highly-anticipated devices to its mobile lineup ahead of the big holiday shopping season. The carrier has been selling both the Nexus 5 and LTE Nexus 7 through its online store and it is now offering both devices in its retail stores as well.

The Nexus 5 is Google's latest flagship Android smartphone and is the first device to ship with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. The smartphone is a powerhouse in the specs department, packing a full HD 1080p display, an ultra fast quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. The smartphone has been a hit with Android fans, with the unlocked handset selling out in minutes through the Google Play Store.

The Nexus 5 features a 4.95-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD Corning Gorilla Glass 3 display with a pixel density of 445 pixels-per-inch (ppi) and is the first device to run Google's latest version of its popular OS, Android 4.4 KitKat. The smartphone is powered by a powerful 2.26GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit (GPU) and 2GB of RAM.

The Nexus 5 ships with a high-end 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and improved HDR+ mode, as well as a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat and the ability to record 30fps 1080p video. The smartphone's wireless capabilities include a 4G LTE radio, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/nc, Bluetooth 4.0 with Bluetooth 4.0 LE abilities, NFC, and GPS. The Nexus 5 comes with 16GB of internal storage and uses a 2,300mAh battery, which Google claims will provide up to 13 hours of talk time. The handset supports wireless charging out of the box with a compatible charger sold separately. Its measurements are 69.17mm wide, 137.84mm tall, and 8.59mm thick and weighs in at 130g.

T-Mobile has priced the Nexus 5 at $449.99 or 24 monthly payments of $17. Nexus fans will also be able to pick up the 4G LTE Nexus 7 in T-Mobile stores for $384 or 24 monthly payments of $16.

The LTE Nexus 7 features a 7-inch 1920 x 1200 HD IPS scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass display with a pixel density of 323 pixels per inch (ppi), runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and can be upgraded to the latest Android 4.4 KitKat via an OTA update. It is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, an Adreno 320 graphics processing unit (GPU) and 2GB of RAM to provide a snappy user experience.

It comes with 32GB of internal storage, has a 5-megapixel rear camera with auto-focus, as well as a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. The Nexus 7 has built-in stereo speakers with surround sound and Frauhofer audio technology. Its wireless connectivity options include a 4G LTE radio, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and NFC. The tablet also has a Slimport for 1080p HDMI output, wireless charging capabilities out of the box and ships with a 3,950 mAh battery that lasts for up to 9 hours of active use, 9 hours of HD video playback, 10 hours of web browsing or e-reading, and 300 hours of standby time.

If you've been looking to get a Nexus 5 and want to avoid the 3 - 4 week wait Google is currently listing for the smartphone, T-Mobile's offer might be your best bet in scoring the handset. The LTE Nexus 7 has also received high praise and the tablet has proved very successful.
