 [Breaking] Google to release 5 Nexus devices on November 5th to celebrate Android's 5th birthday 4

Last week we reported that Google would offer five Nexus devices later this year and sell them directly out of the Play Store. Well, a reliable source just told us that we can expect to see them on November 5th. Why November 5th? It just so happens it's Android's 5th Birthday. Now you can clearly see why they plan on offering five devices.

Right now it's a little unclear if they will actually be released or unveiled on November 5th. Last year the Galaxy Nexus was unveiled on October 18 (originally scheduled for October 11), and released overseas in mid November. The timing makes perfect sense so definitely mark your calendars for Monday, November 5, 2012 for a very big day indeed.

  1. remember remember the 5th of november
    the gunpowder, treason and plot
    i see no reason why the gunpowder treason
    should ever be forgot.

  2. My Wishlist would be:
    Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2, just the minor upgrade (camera etc.)
    HTC One Nexus or whatever u call it, with unibody (alluminium?)
    Sony Xperia Nexus, Beautiful design!
    Motorola Razr Nexus, how google thinks a phone should be.
    and a Asus Nexus, just because i like Asus.

    i would go with the HTC!!!

  3. No offense, but did you bother to do the math? 1.0 launched in 2008. 5.0 will launch in 2012. That’s 4 years not 5.

    Saying Google will launch 5 nexus devices to celebrate version 5.0 of Android is accurate. Saying it’s to celebrate 5 years of Android is not. 

    1. Google purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in 2005.[7] The unveiling of the Android distribution in 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 86…

      The OHA was established on 5 November 2007, led by Google with 34 members…

      Search button, use it!

  4. I prefer 5 phones
    a) HTC (with qwert,HTC HD2 winphone had the best mobile qwert)
    b) Samsung (with stylus)
    c) Motorola (being Google)
    d)Asus (Padfone)
    e) Sony (with qwert)

    and 5 other devices (2 Tablets + 3 TVs)
    – Asus (again Padfone transformer)
    – Acer Iconia (A500 is the most coolest looking tablet ever)
    – Sony TV box
    – LG TV
    – Samsung TV

  5. I hope they will be pure stock devices because I’m tired of receiving updates so late or not receiving them at all I really hope carriers can fix this problem with fluidity and consistentcy. It’ one of the only reasons I like ios

      1. Ya I know but have you seen the Verizon galaxy nexus and how Verizon has been delaying 4.0.4 till today. I hope google can take more control on their devices

    1.  Buy unlocked from Google you get the updates as they are released by Google. (This is way before any carrier)

    2. Yeah im tired of carriers delaying updates like Verizon with the galaxy nexus but for me purchasing an unlocked isn’t an option at 600$+

  6. How much you wanna bet these are going to be existing phone hardware with pure Jellybean on board?  I doubt we’ll see five brand new devices.

  7. HTC Nexus One X 
    Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2
    Motorolla Nexus Razr
    Asus Nexus Prime (yeah i am bringing it back)
    Sony Nexus TV

    just my wishlist lol

  8. Why is everyone so keen on it being 5 nexus phones…. why not 5 nexus devices. A nexus phone, a nexus tablet, the nexus google glasses, a nexus google tv, and I don’t know what the 5th might be… maybe a nexus dish washer

    1. I think we can definitely expect 1 or 2 tablets and 3 or 4 phones. Project Glass is still just a project…

    1. I’m under the impression these phones will be direct from Google, with no carrier involved; which could jack prices up(and negatively affecting sales).

  9. 5 devices, 5 years, version 5…OK, I suppose I can see it.

    Unfortunately, I don’t think my Nexus One is going to survive that long.

    1. Yes, but a return to an HTC Nexus device will well be worth the wait: I’m guessing we will get 3 or 4 phones and a tablet or two: HTC, Motorola, Samsung, LG and ASUS.  Although Sony could be a dark horse.
