Smartphone retailer Carphone Warhouse has stopped selling the SIM-free Nexus 5 at a very attractive £295 less than a week after the handset made its public debut. The company says that only a “limited number” of handsets were available SIM-free, and that it will only be selling the Nexus 5 on contract going forward.
LG’s new Nexus 5 may launch with Android 4.4 KitKat right out of the box, but owners of the company’s flagship G2 won’t have to wait too long for the update. According to leaked information from French operator SFR, the G2 will get the release in either November or December.
While Apple has aimed to keep the design of the iPhone consistent over the last six years – same screen size, same form factor, same metal band antenna on the outside – Google has managed to keep fans excited by providing different variants of its flagship Nexus device every single year.

To celebrate the release of the Nexus 5, our friends over at GadgetLove created an awesome GIF GIF showcasing how the Nexus has evolved over the years.

Best Buy is now listing a “Sprint” version of Google’s flagship Nexus 5 on its online store. As expected, the handset’s on and off-contract pricing is exactly same as the operators, starting at $449.99 for the 16GB off-contract model of the Android-powered smartphone. In addition, customers who choose to upgrade to the flagship device will also face a $149.99 fee for signing a new agreement with the carrier.
