It is the first device to run the new Android 4.4 KitKat operating system and comes with a 4.95-inch screen, an 8MP camera on the back coupled with a 1.3MP camera on the front.

The 4G-ready handset, made by LG, goes on sale on Google's official Play store from tomorrow and prices start at £299 ($349) for 16GB or £339 ($399) for 32GB.

Carphone Warehouse is additionally offering the handset for £295 SIM free.

'Five years ago we launched the first Android, now the system is healthier than ever and very vibrant,' said Sundar Pichai, Google’s Android boss.

The new handset will be available in black and white, and can be woken up simply by saying ‘OK Google’.

The firm says its new Android software, called KitKat, has been redesigned to allow it to run on far more handsets that previous versions.


The Nexus 5m pictured, is powered by the latest high-speed, energy-saving Snapdragon 800 chip from Qualcomm also seen in the Samsung Note III and Nokia's new Lumia 1520. It has 2GB of RAM
