I agree with that statement to an extent. But if Google is deeming the Nexus as a serviceable consumer device, and pictures form a large part of Google's services, then it needs to ensure that its baby is given the best of attention to detail, just as you would expect a top notch processor and screen on such a device. They need to be made accountable. If their own device doesn't meet the standards people are expecting, then how can Google as a company expect its OEMs to pick up its slack? The least they can do is to listen to feedback and criticism, and act upon it. But again, I agree that the Nexus program needs to be more important to Google for it to truly make an impact at large.

If you say so.....Ill defer to the pro here. I take very few pics with my phone and as long as they dont look like an old point and shoot Im happy. I would be content with any of the sample pics, but I guess I dont have said high standards. What I wont accept is slow OS updates, carrier garbage on my phone, difficult to unlock bootloaders, or any of the other bs non Nexus carrier locked phones give us. As said above, until the Nexus becomes a "consumer" phone the camera will not be top notch. And as far as comparably priced phones.....I would guess the GN camera crushes anything you can buy outright for 350$. Enough said from me on this....I can see people are WAY more passionate about the camera than I will ever be, so be it.
[Nexus 5X General] diverbelow:
Thanks.

So would the f/stop be the same as focal length? If so, according to the picture properties, the FL is 4.6mm and the ISO Speed was set to 0.
[Nexus 5X General] lexcyn:
It's really too bad this doesn't have LTE ... if it did it would be an instant buy for me. HSPA+ is really slow in my area and they just expanded LTE coverage :(
[Nexus 5X General] Nebucatnetzer:
Those camera samples look great compared to the ability of the current Nexus camera.
[Nexus 5X General] redbullcat:
Hey 4shael. Sorry if you've already answered this, but: do you know what the battery capacity is in mAh?

Also, could you describe what the back actually looks like when you hold it? In the pictures, it looks sparkly...your thoughts?
[Nexus 5X General] -A-P-M-:
Thanx for all info :cool: Is there aluminium trim around display or just painted plastic ? Also there is glass on a back ?

On a pictures it looks most premium Android phone so far. Can't wait to get one.:cool:
[Nexus 5X General] laverdure#1:
Totally agree on this. I can live with 8GB, no SD slot, mediocre camera, but no LTE???? If true, that 's a deal breaker for me...

Hoping it does come out with LTE...or that the other rumored nexus phones will come out soon!
[Nexus 5X General] ctfrommn:
The only way its gonna have LTE is via carrier specific models ala GN. These will not be sold in the play store as there are too many different LTE bands in the US.
[Nexus 5X General] leventccc:
I hope the build quality is as good as htc one x. I don't want a cheap-samsung-feeling phone as a nexus!

[Nexus 5X General] :
good info :) I'll be interested to see if it's fingerprint prone, i'll need a microfiber cloth if so. lol
[Nexus 5X General] redbullcat:
Thanks! Hoping the battery capacity is at least 2100mAh.
[Nexus 5X General] lexcyn:
I do agree there are a lot of different LTE bands ... but LTE is where wireless is heading and I would like a device that is future proof in that respect. HSPA is decent enough, but like I said, it's terrible in my area (we are talking less than 1Mbps here). LTE is available but I am holding out for a superphone like this one to have LTE enabled.
[Nexus 5X General] redbullcat:
Oh, 4shael, is it possible you could do some photos comparing this to the Galaxy Nexus? I'd like to see how much bigger this phone is, and how different it actually looks.

Thanks!

Once The Onliner's review is done they should send this to an English speaking site. I'd suggest The Verge :D

Screen

I have been following this thread since OP posted. All I've read, are the negatives about camera, no sd slot, non removable battery, no LTE, low storage etc. Why not a comparison on the screen tech? I own a gnex and I would love to upgrade to this nexus, if the screen is far superior than the samoled I have now. Please do screen comparison with the current gnex.:good:
[Nexus 5X General] samarth1:
I am, like you, extremely excited that a Nexus device will finally have good viewing angles, thanks to IPS+ technology, and a plain old RGB stripe LCD screen than a super amoled with pentile. The bluish tint of my GNex really bothers me, and I have some bad burn-in on the top and bottom of the screen, and it is readily visible when I'm browsing the web. Combine that with the in-cell technology that LG has developed, I am pretty confident in this being the best and most accurate-looking screen on the market, equalling or besting the OneX.
[Nexus 5X General] leventccc:
Some of my friends are using galaxy s3 and I use htc one x. When we compare the screen, htc one x is much much better than s3. Pentile really sucks. I hope the screen is as good as htc one x. Its very important for me too.
[Nexus 5X General] ctfrommn:
Is the same as the Optimus G which is about as good as a screen gets....save MAYBE sony's Bravia one.
[Nexus 5X General] samarth1:
The f/stop and aperture of a camera are one and the same. So think of it as the measure of light coming in through the lens and hitting the sensor at any given time. The f/stop is the "opening" in front of the lens. And the larger the opening, the more light coming in, leading to less noise. The focal length is a measure of the distance to your subject from the camera lens, when focused to infinity, thus leading to a clear picture rather than a blurry one. That's why you see it being spoken of while taking macro shots, which is very close up to the subject. As far as android phones go, the OneX has the best image quality of all cameras, since it has a wide f/2.0 opening, and combines with it some excellent software that allows a wide variety of control, should you choose to do so. I wish stock android would have that level of functionality some day.

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

Another advantage of an LCD screen over super amoled is its brightness. You put a GS3 and OneX side by side and you will instantly notice how much brighter the LCD is, and how the whites are white, and greys grey. Saturation and vibrance is very desirable in a screen, and that is the reason why amoleds have so far found success. But, LCD technology has grown leaps and bounds in the last couple of years, and you have the amalgamation of that in the OneX, which I would say is the best looking screen on any phone, considering its accuracy, saturation, brightness, and viewing angles. I'm very excited to see how good the LG Nexus screen is, as LG has traditionally made excellent displays.
[Nexus 5X General] @rbiter:
Lcd s suck at black though. Having good blacks helps contrast and can help the saturated look. I am not a big fan of the over saturated colors on amoled but the blacks and contrast have no equal on a smartphone.

those camera samples don't look good, but that didn't stop me from buying the Galaxy Nexus. i really hope it's sorted out by the final release.

[Nexus 5X General] carloscibrian4:
I disagree, I think the GS3 has the best image quality of all current androids. There are plenty of reviews out there that show that.
[Nexus 5X General] kiy0shix24:
I'm really hoping that the 8gb version costs $350 and the 16gb one is $400. I will be upgrading to the 16gb version if that's the case. I'm loving the phone so far :)
[Nexus 5X General] ctfrommn:
It's interesting that the global version of the Optimus G carries the exact same specs, including NO sdcard and NO removable battery and that has 32gb of internal storage. I would be awfully surprised if this isnt the configuration we see upon release as a Nexus.
[Nexus 5X General] elias0441:
I think the reason they made the battery is irreplaceable is because it has the ability to charge wirelessly. They wanna make sure nobody opens the back cover so the wireless charging don't break.
[Nexus 5X General] samarth1:
While we can both disagree as to which phone comes out on top, we can both agree that both the GS3 and OneX have generally excellent cameras, and set the standard for what to expect in the android world. With that said, I sure hope the LG Nexus matches up to either one of these devices. I'd be more than satisfied with that.
[Nexus 5X General] ctfrommn:
That and this is also their new battery tech, more cycles and faster charging.
[Nexus 5X General] samarth1:
Truth be told, I really wouldn't give a damn if the battery is non-removable as long as it lasts me throughout the day with moderate usage and a combination of web browsing, music, pictures, and the like. I think that really should be the expectation for any good smartphone battery nowadays. With that said, I'm really looking forward to what LG Chem has done to this new battery that they claim more lifetime charge cycles and general longevity. Battery technology has sadly been lagging behind other aspects of the smartphone, to the point where focus needs to shift away from processing and more towards efficiency, as these phones are already more powerful than anyone needs it to be. I can safely say that most people would be willing to sacrifice a bit of power if it means staying away from the charger longer.
[Nexus 5X General] Zurginator:
Harder to do than you would think, it's difficult to make the logo legible. This would look nice though:

(Yes, no Google logo, just like the N7)
[Nexus 5X General] samarth1:
This looks awesome! I would love to see if the final design looks like this. It would look much better than the GNex IMO.
[Nexus 5X General] kiy0shix24:

[Nexus 5X General] raze599:
Wow! Now if it came out like that, i'd be one happy man :D
[Nexus 5X General] RedBlueGreen:
One thing i dont understand is why the camera is flush with the back and the flash isnt.... isnt it normally the other way around?

both should be flush with the device.. nothing popping out.
[Nexus 5X General] Livebyte:
Holy crap. I thought the one with the ring was the Camera.

[Nexus 5X General] heat361:
I think that the flash is flush on the device it is that black bordered bezel looking thing making it look like it is popped out.
[Nexus 5X General] eternum79:
Yeeeesss pleeeeasee!
[Nexus 5X General] jjsoviet:
Okay, I've been following the LG Nexus rumor mill for quite some time now, and I'm actually pleased at how the design turned out to be. Not too simple to be called a Galaxy Nexus clone, but not too ostentatious to be generally off-putting.

I have my ideas about how the device has "with Google" as its logo as opposed to the usual "Google" branding with other Nexus phones. I surmise that Google has loosened up its Nexus program, where it now includes those devices with purely vanilla Android versions as Google Experience Devices. However, those that pass more stringent tests will definitively earn the Nexus certification. This is a plausible tactic by Google as it diversifies and enlarges the portfolio of vanilla Android devices that can be offered on Google Play.
[Nexus 5X General] ctfrommn:
Im just happy it doesnt look like the Optimus G....one fugly device
[Nexus 5X General] dreamsforgotten:
Have to agree I'm liking the so far specs, dying on the battery because I'm a power user and switch batteries in places there's no charger but everything else is not diminished. looks(!!) Solid, looks comfortable to hold. Seems like it would feel very similar to the gnex perhaps a touch lighter.

[Nexus 5X General] Xerrus:
I hope this is indeed the way it turns out. Also, I hope that ifixit tears one apart and shows us how to replace the battery ourselves, should the need arise
[Nexus 5X General] spiderhamster846:
Not to worry

You are correct, if you look at the 3D rendering on that russian website, you can see that the bezel looks like its sticking out. But its really just sitting flat which is perfect :)

The phone is pretty good in my opinion. We can assume 8gb is just prototype storage. We can assume that the two holes at the bottom may be screws to unhook the back cover for the battery. The glass back will FINALLY give us the high quality build android lacks. Not to mention the bragging rights of wireless charging(maybe)

I like a ton of people got SCREWED over by LG and their G2x, since they never updated the damn thing after many broken promises. I SWORE off them. But now after all these leaked specs, I can say that ill definetly buy this. You can tell they put a ton of work and technology into this. (unlike samsung who held back the specs).
[Nexus 5X General] @rbiter:
Glass back high quality? Do you know how many phone repair guys retired off the iPhone 4/4s? Do you know how hard it is to recycle glass these days? Glass back is trash. I hope it is glossy plastic. Glass back does not scream quality. It screams trips to phone repair shop, extra TLC for just a phone, iPhone copycat, unnecessary weight.

And if it doesn't come with 32gb minimum I am gonna have to start looking at Sony phones.

Has anybody come up with the sound chip in this phone? It'll be worthless as a gs2 if there is a ****ty sound chip on board.

...
[Nexus 5X General] springy:
Yea I want to know what the sound quality is like. I hope it is some crap speakers in the phone
[Nexus 5X General] spiderhamster846:
Well to each their own... I get your point. I personally like the solid and weighted feeling it gives. Than again ill probably throw an otterbox on the thing and cover it up... so much for their fancy crystal reflection tech that LG put so much work into,,,

Is it just me or does this look a bit like the old Nexus S?
[Nexus 5X General] @rbiter:
I don't mind hefty. I do mind fragile. I do mind cases being bigger than they need to be. I want to go bareback with my nexus because it is so sexy, but at the same time, Google shafted us on resale value by selling the gnex for $350. Not a big deal on that though. I am sure a lot more people got in on the Google experience and hopefully many of those people gave at&t the middle finger on 2 year contracts. Just watched some videos on the e973, the lg model this phone will have some semblance to. Not too shabby. Definitely a touchwiz resemblance. I liked how you could pinch to zoom within the interface in some areas. I wish OEM's would just add features like that and do away with the overlay's and other nonsense. Looks like a phone lg could save some face on. Too bad only 32gb and no SD and sticky battery. And why the hell do people that preview/review phones never mention the sound chips? Had to find out from a teardown site that the gs3 carried Wolfson sound. What gives?

I don't know why google is going for those on screen buttons.. it just takes away the screen space.. if you look at the Optimus G, the buttons are actually below the screen..

I won't mind the on-screen button if the entire front of the phone was screen but that's not the case here..

what do you guys think?
[Nexus 5X General] Greatbape:
On-screen buttons are miles ahead of hardware or cap buttons. They won't malfunction or break. Also the on-screen buttons are hidden when things that need the entire screen like movies and youtube videos are playing. Best part to me though is the massive amount of modding and customization you can do to on-screen buttons once you root.

So the back is made of glass? How good is the screen compared to the Galaxy nexus? Any new android features?

Honesty if there is no problem like previous lg phones I would prefer theirs. Samsung always bases the nexus of their flagship, but dumbs it down a lot. Lg's nexus seems promising, and i feel like the final product will be the best nexus yet, especially if it has 32/64gb options.

Guys,

I noticed that there are 2 variants from the pictures posted on AndroidAndMe. Ones that look like the Galaxy Nexus + iPhone 3GS and another one that looks sort of like the LG Optimus G that is more square:

I prefer buttons on the screen. The problem is, people are just use to having physical buttons so that's why people like them. But the problem with physical button is that it has a few function in a given scenario and then they become redundant when you are doing something different.

Once people get use to buttons on screen and hardware manufacture move towards that, what Google can do and move the android platform forward is to have the buttons along the bottom which changes based on what you are doing with your phone. Then it becomes more useful and more dynamic to what you actually need the buttons for. Well that's where I see it heading anyway..

After I've got NEXUS 7, I prefer on-screen buttons as well.
