Why trust Greenbot
Google has confirmed to the folks over at TechRadar that the Nexus 5 production has stopped, and “once they are gone, they’re gone, so we’d suggest people get them while they can”.
It was only yesterday that Google removed the listing of the the Red and White variants of the Nexus 5 from Google Play. The company only lists the black Nexus 5 on its website, though it is currently “Out of inventory”. It is not yet clear as to when the handset will be back in stock on Google Play, if at all.
With the Nexus 6 being an unviable option for many due to its size and price, the Nexus 5 is now the only option for many consumers who want to experience a ‘Nexus’ device without burning a hole in their pocket. However, with the production of the device being stopped, it is only a matter of time before the handset goes out of stock across all the major retailers.
Update: Google has confirmed that it will continue to sell the Nexus 5 through Google Play and selected retailers through the first quarter of 2015, at least in the United States.
