The good is over. The device that has best managed to represent the balance between quality, price and next-generation features has reached the end of its journey. The Nexus 4 has been sold out in the United States, and the first signs after its extinction from Google's shelves indicate that the guys from the Californian multinational have no intention of feeding the online store warehouses with more units. According to the North American digital medium The Verge, neither LG nor Google have the intention of developing a new game of the Nexus 4 of eight or 16 GBto meet the wild demand generated in recent weeks.
Recall that the guys from Mountain View surprised by presenting an offer that reduced the prices of both models to 200 and 250 euros, respectively. With this, they ensured not only a boost to the popularity of the device, after other new generation terminals had been presented, but they resorted to a quick strategy to do what they have done: empty their warehouses and invite them to think in the next team of the Nexus family. It would be, according to not a few rumors and leaks, a new terminal developed by the South Korean LG. Quite possibly it would be a suitably modified reissue of the LG G2, the latest flagship of the company.
The Nexus 5 would be the first to install Android 4.4 KitKat, the operating system with which the American company seeks to capitalize on its leadership position in the smartphone platform market by using the brand itself as a showcase for convergent advertising. In this case, it was Nestlé that has taken the lead in the strategy, which could be repeated with other firms in the progression of Android versions.
Unfortunately, there are no clues at the moment that help to locate the presentation of the possible Nexus 5. At least there are no leads coming from Google or LG. It is suspected that the device was seen during the installation of the commemorative statue that is traditionally placed at the gates of Googleplex, the company's headquarters, when Android 4.4 was officially unveiled. A manufacturer of cases has ensured that the Nexus 5 would be presented and put on sale during the next month of October. In spite of everything, beyond this, there are no solid indications that support what these sources come to indicate regarding the coming-out of the new team.
In any case, although in Spain the Nexus 4 already hung the sign of out of stock days ago, with the repetition of this fact in the Google Play store that supplies devices to users in the United States, there is nothing left but to think about the play it is clear: a new terminal will take over from what has so far been Google's head phone. The question, before this, is whether they will reissue the strategy, combining an affordable price with a first-rate technical frame.
