The Google Nexus 5 could be getting a update full of Google Now smart features on November 13.
Although Google has yet to officially announce the update, but it seems an update download date for a host of new Google Now features has been pencilled in for next week.
According to Wired magazine, Google Now will become smarter with the next update, including being able to offer answers back to you, similar to iOS’ Siri.
The update will also allow Google’s flagship to search apps and launch them in order to perform specific tasks.
There will also be an increased number of Google Now cards, all based on your current location.
It does seem strange that Google didn’t offer these features as standard with Android 4.4 KitKat and the Nexus 5, but it will be interesting to see how much functionality is added with the rumoured November 13 update.
