There's a big jump in processor with the new Nexus 5 rocking a quad-core Snapdragon 800 at 2.3 GHz and the new Nexus has also gained increased storage from 8 and 16 GB models to 16 and 32 GB models. The prices are relatively standard considering the increase in storage capacity with the 16 and 32 GB Nexus 5 versions costing a neat 299 and 349 USD respectively.
