LG Nexus 5 will get Android N or Not ? Find out Here !

 By Vaibhav Jain on March 10, 2016       

Android N developer preview firmware images are out for many nexus Devices ( including  Nexus 5X, 6, 6P, 9, Player and Pixel C ) . But Where is the legendary Google's LG Nexus 5 ?

Seems this time Google might ditch Nexus 5 Android N update . 

Nexus 5 was announced back on October 2013 with Android 4.4.4 KitKat pre-installed and still it is update-able to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Os . 



Last year , Google confirmed that they won’t be updating the Nexus 4 to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. Google explained that this is due to the age of the device, which has passed its support tenure.

So This time also Google might not update Nexus 5 to Android N due to age of the device . 



Though Google might have not provided Android N developer preview images for Nexus 5 , but we can still hope for Official firmware images of Android N for Nexus 5 ( which will be released on May 18 ) .

Google is going to announce Android N ( Probably Android 7.0 ) this year on 18 May ! 

Android N will come with many new features and bug fixes over Android 6.0 Marshmallow . 

Android N or Android 7.0 will be coming up with Night mode option ( Light and Dark theme ) , The above screenshots are from Nexus 5 Running Android N .

Back in 2015 Google released developer preview of Android M ( Known as Android 6.0 Marshmallow now ) , Android M Developer preview came with Night Mode feature . But Google removed that feature from Official Android 6.0 Marshmallow . 

But the feature will be back with Android N . Along with Dark theme , we can expect Multi-Window , No App drawer and other interesting features . Though Android N will look almost same as Android 6.0 Marshmallow and Lollipop in Interface ,
