As one of the most anticipated Android smartphones, the Nexus is almost certain to be officially unveiled by the end of the month, but there is still no definitive evidence of the exact date. Previously, the device briefly appeared on Google Play, with an official price of $349 for the 16GB version. Now, a pre-order page for the Nexus 5 has appeared on eBay.
According to the seller's information, this Nexus 5 will be factory-unlocked, come in a 16GB version, and run on the Android 4.4 system. The estimated shipping date is between October 25th and 27th. However, the seller has marked the price at a high $700 (approximately RMB 4264), which is double the official price. Nonetheless, one person has already placed a pre-order.
Taking into account the past sales situation of Nexus devices and the limited official supply, it is quite common for second-hand merchants to mark up prices. However, it is reported that Google has urged LG to increase the production capacity of the Nexus 5, so the future pricing will definitely not be this outrageous.
