Google’s new retail store in London is just one of two new ways it plans to sell hardware going forward. The company has also launched a brand new online store specifically for “the latest products made with Google,” but a few of our favorites have gone missing.

Google has already confirmed plans to experiment with its own wireless services to “show what’s possible,” and we know it’s going to be limited in its reach. So limited, in fact, that you might need Google’s own Nexus 6 smartphone to connect to it.
Two Nexus smartphones could be coming this year.
The Nexus 6 isn’t even half a year old yet, but already the rumor mill has begun turning its attention to its successor. Sources in China claim that Google has chosen a local manufacturer to build one variant of its next smartphone, and it seems Huawei best fits the bill.

Google may still be sitting on its Android 5.1 Lollipop update, but someone, somewhere, is already running Android 5.2 on a Nexus 5.
The software was spotted in Geekbench benchmark results, and it indicates the Google isn’t slowing it down when it comes to addressing problems and bringing new features to its latest Android operating system.

The Nexus 5 is back in stock in the Play Store, at least in the United States, after being missing from Google’s online store for a couple of months.
