Ticking inside the Nexus 5 is a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset with four Krait 400 cores and Adreno 330 GPU. It has 2GB RAM and runs on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS. As expected, internal memory is non-expandable and comes only in 16GB and 32GB variants. At the back of the device, there's an 8-MP primary camera with OIS and LED flash. The camera uses a 1/3.2" sensor and an f/2.4 aperture. At the front, there's a 1.3-MP camera, which can be used for video calling, too.
