T-Mobile is gearing up to launch Google’s new Nexus 5 smartphone on November 20, according to a leaked document that details its retail plans for next month. The carrier will also launch the Nexus 7 tablet on the same day, and both devices will be available to purchase in-store and online.
Last week we reported that Google updated its case offerings for its flagship tablet for 2013, the Nexus 7, by adding two new color variants to its official lineup of neoprene sleeves, but, unfortunately, the company gave us no indication of a launch date for these new accessories.
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.
The popular U.S. operator, Verizon, has officially announced its first budget-friendly low-end 7-inch tablet, the Elipsis 7, which will ship running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The slate will be available to purchase from tomorrow Thursday, November 7, with the rather affordable price tag of $250 from the carrier’s official website.
A mysterious new Nexus tablet, believed to be a Nexus 8, has been spotted on the official Android.com website. The discovery comes after Google updated the page for its new Android 4.4 KitKat release last week, but it seems unlikely this was an accidental leak.
