Ready for your daily round of Nexus 5 launch rumor? According to a local store in Hong Kong – PCM – Google will be unveiling the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat tomorrow. However, the company won’t be holding any special event to announce the device. 

The Nexus 5 will also go on sale the very next day of its announcement i.e. on November 1st. The 1st November date is likely the possible launch date since even @evleaks has mentioned the date as the potential release date. Considering that the stocks of Nexus 5 are already reaching the warehouse of most the big retailers all over the world, an immediate availability right after the announcement is very much a possibility.

According to PCM, the local pricing of the Nexus 5 (16GB) is HK $3,899 which roughly translates into 500$. Google has never really sold the Nexus handsets at break-even level outside of the Play Store, so this pricing should not come as a surprise.
