Nexus 5 Rumors: Pre-Registration Page Posted by Canadian Carrier
A Google Nexus 5 pre-registration page was put up by a Canadian carrier earlier this week hinting at an imminent release date for the device.
WIND Mobile posted up a link on their Facebook that featured this page for those interested in purchasing the Nexus 5 when it is released later this year. It also included the tagline "Google Nexus 5. The smart, new phone made to capture the moments that matter."
The pre-registration page also revealed the official specs for the Nexus 5.
The listed specifications included a 4.95-inch 1920x1080 display at 445 ppi, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, an 8-megapixel rear shooter, a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, 2GB RAM, micro USB, SlimPort enabled, dual-microphones, ceramic power and volume buttons, and Android 4.4 KitKat right out of the box.
WIND Mobile could have based this specs list on some of the recent rumors. However, there's no way to really tell at this time whether this information is legitimate or not.
The Nexus 5 release date must be quickly approaching as the handset showed up in U.K. retailer Carphone Warehouse's database this week.
The device was listed as LGNexus5Whit confirming that the white version actually exists. The post also revealed that the retailer currently has 1500 units in stock, which proves that the official launch date can't be that far away.
The screenshot of the retailer's inventory was posted up by Android Police, who also stated that the retailer has 1500 black units in stock. However, the site did not put up anything to prove that.
If all this information is accurate, it would prove that Carphone Warehouse is currently carrying 3000 units of the device altogether and Google is attempting to cover all of its bases by not having its partners run out of stock with such a large shipment.
Many of the Nexus 5 rumors have confirmed the existence of both black and white models of the device.
