The Google Nexus 5 was released in October last year and it has proved itself to be one of the best smartphones around. The device, based on the LG G2, is built with all the high-end hardwares while having a micro price tag at the same time.
This is why it surprised us when Verizon started selling the Nexus 5. Both Google and Verizon find it hard to see eye to eye and they have yet to secure a business agreement with each other. It is no longer the case as the Nexus 5 becomes the first Google smartphone to join the Big Red network.
While it all sounds great, Verizon decision to sell the Google Nexus 5 provokes the curiosity of many. This is due to the late addition of the device in Verizon’s inventory. Other carriers have already sold tons of Nexus 5 with Verizon joining at a much later date.
Then there is the upcoming Nexus 6, which is expected to arrive in October this year. With only 3 months to go, will Verizon actually profit from selling the Nexus 5?
Verizon’s intention will forever be their own secret but not the Nexus 6. This upcoming device is expected to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the upcoming Apple iPhone 6 when it gets released.
Word has it that Lenovo will be at the helm of the Nexus 6 productions. On the other hand, many believe that LG will continue collaborating with Google to produce the Nexus smartphone. We expect further confirmation on this when we near Q4 this year.
