Two smartphones anchored to search engine giant Google are expected to arrive later this year to join the battle royale in the smartphone market.

Google Nexus 5 and Moto X are two smartphones that will try to lure buyers just in time for the holidays.

It is rumoured that Moto X will arrive this August. Google Nexus 5 is expected to be released in October along with the new Android operating system.

It was first speculated that the Moto X is the Nexus 5 itself. The rumours emerged after Google bought Motorola Mobility last year. The recent acquisition will enable Google to manufacture its own handsets and will no longer need the aid of other tech companies.

However, Google has not confirmed yet as to when it will release the successor of the popular LG Nexus 4, which was sold out in minutes after its release and sold 400,000 units initially.

Operating System - Being affiliated to Google has the perks of having the latest operating system be it the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean or the rumoured 5.0 Key Lime Pie.
