If that's true, Google would have done the same for the 2013 Nexus 7.

But they raised the price from $199 to $229. An increase of 15%

Yep price increased 15% and it wasn't using the very latest Snapdragon either opting for the S4 rather than at the time 600.

With everything pointing to this Nexus using the very latest components including LTE now and OSIS in the camera too it seems to me Google are going for genuine Flagship spec hardware (rather than next step below hardware but therefore cheaper) and so I expect the price will reflect it.

With GE s4, HTC one and Moto Max all priced at $600 or over on the play store I just see no logical reason for Google to undercut them by anything more than $100-150

Therefore I expect 16gb Nexus 5 to be $449 and 32gb $499

According to him, the 16 GB Nexus 5 will be priced $399, while the 32 GB model will have price tag of $449 in Play Store. But why won’t the new Nexus have the same price point as Nexus 4? Because Google will also launch an LTE-enabled Nexus 4 synchronized with the debut of the Nexus 5. According to our source the technical specifications of the Nexus 4 LTE will be similar to the ones of the model launched last year. The only difference between the Nexus 4 LTE and the original Nexus 4 is the internal storage, as the LTE-enabled model will come with either 16 or 32 GB of storage, at the same prices at its predecessor $299 and $349, respectively.
In fact, Google and LG won’t even have to change anything inside the old Nexus 4 because the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset that is fitted inside already comes with a 4G LTE chip.

Nexus 5 LTE will be $399 and $449 (16GB and 32GB)

Nexus 4 LTE will be $299 and $349 (16GB and 32GB)
