Google Nexus 5 release date is expected to happen in October tagging along the upcoming Android Key Lime Pie.

At the Breakfast with Sundar event held by Google last month, Android chief Sundar Pichai confirmed that a new Google Nexus 10 is currently being developed.

The tablet's release date is expected to be in October, around the time of the 5th birthday of Google's Android OS. This has led to rumours that Android's new OS will also happen that month. Some rumours also suggest that the Nexus 5 will also be announced along with the new Android mobile platform.

Rumours claimed that the Google Nexus 5 will include a 5-inch Full HD screen display; an eight-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz paired with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM; 13MP rear camera; 3300mAh battery capacity and the latest Android OS.

The handset is rumoured to be available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants and will support 4G/LTE connectivity, which was missing in the Nexus 4.

Google Nexus 5 release date is expected to happen sometime around October and November in order to maximize full profits of LG Nexus 4. However, Google has not confirmed the date of announcement yet.

Based on the latest rumours, South Korean tech company LG Electronics is teaming up again with Google for the development of Google Nexus 5.

LG is about to release the successor of LG Optimus G tagged as LG G2. The handset is said to provide hints on the possible Google Nexus 5 features.

However, there are contradicting reports that Google Nexus 5 release date is delayed as Google is still searching for a company to manufacture the next Nexus smartphone. Reports claimed that Google will no longer be teaming up with LG Electronics in making the successor of the popular LG Nexus 4 smartphone. Reports claimed that Google is eyeing new companies for the Google Nexus 5 release date.

However, Google still has to confirm the rumours.
