Google I/O has been and gone, with no mention of the new Nexus 5's release date or potential specs. We take a look at when the Nexus 5 will tip up and what it could offer.
The Nexus 5 could be the Google device to introduce the next version of Android, 5.0 Key Lime Pie. So naturally, we're keen to know what it will offer.
Although the Nexus 4 has issues with stock shortages, it's been well received and popular with punters. A high-end smartphone for £239 is a bargain even if it's a bit limited on storage. See also: iPhone 6 release date: When will Apple's next iPhone arrive?
Thoughts are turning to the Nexus 5 and what it has to offer to rival the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z and HTC One. At the moment, it's LG which is supposedly manufacturing the Nexus 5 but Google is also considering other vendors.
Google hasn't announced when the new Nexus 5 will be revealed, or even if it is making one but here are the rumours on when it will arrive.
The first possibility was that Google would announce the Nexus 5 at its Google I/O (input/output) developer conference which takes place in May in San Francisco. However, the event came and went with no Nexus 5 or even Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie.
At last year's Google I/O which took place in June, the firm unveiled the Nexus 7, its first tablet running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It seemed likely new hardware would be revealed at this year's conference but this wasn't the case - unless you include the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition.

Now Google I/O is in the past, it's likely that we'll see the new Nexus 5 arrive around a year after the Nexus 4, in October. The Galaxy Nexus was announced in November and the Nexus S in December.
New Nexus 5 specs
Rumoured specifications for the Nexus 5 include a Full HD screen either 5in or 5.2in in size, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz and a whopping 3GB of RAM.
There's also been suggestion it will feature a 16Mp camera made by Nikon. Other sources suggest a smaller 4.5in screen with a 720p resolution.
