As reported Google Nexus 5, the official Google-Android phone, and the new Nexus 7 with FullHD screen, both in LG brand name, have been released for sale in India.

The online retailers like Google's Play store. Snapdeal and Flipkart have already listed the basic 16 GB Nexus 5 for Rs.28,999 and 32 GB model for Rs. 32,999. The Wi-Fi Nexus 7 model has been priced Rs 20,999 for 16GB version and Rs 23,999 for the 32GB version. The LTE version will cost Rs 27,999. However, the message on the Play Store says "We are out of inventory. Please check back soon."

Otherwise, the retail stores (physical stores) will charge Rs. 1,000 extra for all the models, citing incurred cost. It remains to be seen when Google Play Store will begin selling it online.

Some of the advantages with Nexus 5 are:

Android updates, straight from the source, Google, is possible. With over 1 million apps and games on Google Play, the newly redesigned Google Maps app makes navigating easy, especially when you are in an unfamiliar town or uncovering new local favorites.

Gmail, Chrome, Google Calendar, Drive and Google Keep. All your favorite Google apps work together seamlessly across all your devices—desktop and mobile. Everything important to you is instantly available.

Nexus 5 is precision-built from strong materials, and the intelligently simple design showcases more of what matters to you. At only 4.59 oz and 8.59 mm thin, it's the most powerful Nexus phone yet.

With 4G/LTE and ultra-fast Wi-Fi, Nexus 5 keeps you connected at blazing speeds. Add in the cutting-edge 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800 processor and you'll race through games, zip around the web and switch between apps at the flick of a finger.

With a 5" display, Nexus 5 gives you a Full HD display so you can see every detail in lifelike color with less glare and a wider viewing angle—the perfect canvas for your moments.
