With the Nexus X/6 not too far away, Sprint prepares to cut ties with the Nexus 5 and places it on the ‘end of life’ list.
Sprint has placed the Google Nexus 5 on the ‘end of life’ list, suggesting that its successor is just around the corner.
AndroidPolice reports that its “source inside Sprint” claims the network has added the Nexus 5 to the infamous list, meaning that it will stop all promotions for the phone at its retail stores.
Sprint will continue to sell whatever Nexus 5 stock it has left but will then stop selling the device altogether.
It also means that Sprint will no longer issue any software updates for the device, although regardless Google will still issue updates and support.
Nexus 5 owners needn’t panic too much, you’ll still be getting the Android L update when it gets a public release.
Sprint’s main motive behind the abandoning of the Nexus 5 is the upcoming release of its successor, the Nexus X.
9to5Google recently released specs and a mock-up of the purported device, codenamed Shamu.
Apparently the Motorola-made device will sport a phablet-size 5.9-inch screen with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440.
It will run a Snapdragon 805 CPU and pack 32GB of built-in storage, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing and a 2MP front-facing camera.
It will also be one of the first phones to run Android L out-the-box.
The Nexus X/6 is tipped to be unveiled on October 16 alongside the Nexus 9tablet with a release at some point in November.
