[Nexus 5X General] I Can Be Your Hero:
Google want you to use their cloud storage. Namely Google + and Drive. Give people ample on-board storage, and the less stuff they'll put on the cloud.

I personally don't agree with it, as I'd much rather larger on-board storage, but it seems that's the decision Google has made.
[Nexus 5X General] samarth1:
Considering the similar design philosophy of the LG Nexus and the GNex, I would be shocked if the LG Nexus didn't have an RGB notification LED. The Optimus G I believe has it as well.

obv. they're not gonna put 32 jigs in a prototype

they're gonna put in 8 gigs into protypse duh ... cost savings ffs.

You talk sense, and I love the pic of the dog with a deadpan face, it fits this pre-release cribbing perfectly. But please, don't yell!

You do realize that the 8GB Nexus7 cost $199 right? Also, it is safe to assume that Google is planning on releasing a 32GB Nexus7 to make everyone happy, with all the recent leaks. Why is it so hard to deduce that they plan on doing the same with the LG Nexus?
[Nexus 5X General] Livebyte:
I don't know about you but 199 for a tablet is dirt cheap, probably considered stealing by my standards.

The Nexus 7 here in Singapore is 399. Ridiculously expensive.

[Nexus 5X General] dreamsforgotten:
It's the principle that they charge for memory like they selling you a ssd I can get a 32 gigabytes flash drive for 25 in a phone that's 100.00? Not that we won't have an option just that it will cost so much for nothing.

[Nexus 5X General] Zurginator:
Maybe because it wouldn't make up for the cost of production in its sales numbers?

Nexus devices move few units, and if you make variations you're going to very quickly start running at a loss. So sure, they might could do a 64 GB version, but costs would be nuts --- would you pay a $200-300 price hike?

Same reason above. Different storage capacities require different assembly lines --- costs go up considerably. Higher capacities typically sell lower quantities, so once again prices go up considerably.

If it costs $X to set up the line for the 16 GB version, it would likely cost an additional $X to set up the 32 GB line. If the 32 GB version sells half as many units (not at all unlikely), production costs per phone just doubled.
[Nexus 5X General] darkamikaze:
I'm starting to think LG is the first Nexus.. and later in '13 the others will come out.. which sucks because more waiting ):
[Nexus 5X General] amjadfirst:
The problem is Google wants people to use the cloud and promote their google music cloud and so on... forgetting that most features like this are only available in the US... leaving others (Canada for example) stranded with 8 or 16GB to fit everything from movies and music to personal data and rom backups, etc... what's the point of having a gorgeous screen if you can't use it to watch high def movies? plus data speeds (atleast here) are still very crappy and not high enough to stream music and video in high def without considerable lag.. This is why people ask for 32GB storage and expandable memory.. so that the pure android nexus phone will give people OPTIONS, which is what android is all about.

[Nexus 5X General] :
Plus a lot people are going to lose unlimited data in the US. So we will need to store more music and movies locally, that is why a 8gb Nexus is pretty much useless to me, no matter what the price is. The 16gb in my current Nex isn't even enough.
[Nexus 5X General] Anubis007:
that's funny, because i am starting to think the Optimus Nexus is the only Nexus we are getting this year. either that or the other OEM's are way better are keeping their devices out of public's reach.
[Nexus 5X General] amjadfirst:
Even with all this.. android games are getting over 1GB a piece.. where are you gonna put all this? and why have a quad core S4 top of the line CPU and GPU if you're not gonna use it for such things.. even 16GB is now very small amount of storage when you think about it.. this is why the S3 has a 32GB and expandable with another 32GB microSD.. same with the note 2... up to 128GB of storage.. that's the right way to go.. and the price is still not all that bad... I just wish the note 2 would have a nexus branding.. that would be a dream come true

[Nexus 5X General] Blac Caesar:
Ok so here's my question... how better is it really though? I'm coming from an HTC Vivid (failed device IMO, could be soo much better).. have a GNex now, LOVE IT. So, stock for stock I can see how it's better.. but when it comes to Overclocking n all the tweaks out there n whatnot, wouldn't they end up being the same phone; and the fact that this appears to look identical, doesn't help :p. Like, my GNex now, OC'd to 1.7GHz, 537 GPU (thank you Trinity!).. my phone is smooth as can be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the final product might not be better than the current specs.. 1.5-quad core, 320 GPU, 8MP cam. But like stated before more megapixels doesn't always guarantee a sharper picture.. just asking, not trying to ruffle anyones feathers here ;)

Well its a way to use it but why should european users pay the same price as their US friends for different possibilities of device usage?

I bought a nexus7 recently and im quite pissed that i cant use google music, google books and some other services.

The question is: Why we are paying google for the services that we cant use and don't you US guys argue that those services are not in the device price cause they are as same as customer support and warranty are in the price.

Motorola makes some of the ugliest phones Ive ever seen....that would be a travesty to the Nexus name. Good thing we all have opinions and choices though ;)

I quite like the LG design (hate the Optimus G design though). To me this is a welcome improvement of the GN. My personal dream Nexus would be the rumored Nexus 5 from HTC...OR something built on that Oppo find 5 platform. I will be all over this phone if the price and storage option are right!

[Nexus 5X General] @rbiter:
No, but if they charged accordingly. It cost ~$7-15 USD per 16gb of memory on a phone. Do the math. 64gb standard on a phone isn't cutting margins. As a matter of fact it could boost margins if OEM's stop putting out so many crappy phones and put out some quality stuff.

[Nexus 5X General] tysj:
As someone who works in the surface mounting technology/PCB industry (at one of the biggest electronics OEMs)... Assuming they were only changing the storage component that took up the same amount area, all that needs to be done is to change one component feeder and maybe load up another program that takes 1 second. Run a batch of 8gb PCBs, stop, switch one feeder, load up program if necessary for nozzle adjustment, run 16gb batch. All on one line. Even if it were more complicated then switching out one component, a separate line is not necessary at all. Changeovers would be really quick since products are so similar, and a changeover is hardly anything unfamiliar in the manufacturing industry.

video review please

4shael, if you are awake, can you please make a decent quality video review so we can see the device properly.

Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] :
All it matters is sale!

I will give you a figure -- even the mediocre (I mean in terms of specs) Galaxy S3 Mini will sell more than this LG Nexus.

Reason is simple -- common people doesn't care about Nexus brand. It doesn't even stand a chance again iPhone/Galaxy brand. Google still has no clue how to market a product. Just look at Apple/Samsung commercials. People only compare/talk about them. LG/Google commercials doesn't even matter. They are irrelevant.

The last Note2 commercial was viewed over 14million times in about 5 days. Unless Google gets it's marketing team to work properly, Nexus will still remain an

irrelevant

brand.

Thank you for your mind-boggling insight. I will still enjoy my Nexus, even if it means I'm the only one buying them. I'm glad there is someone telling me my choices are irrelevant.
[Nexus 5X General] ctfrommn:
And why would the average person care.....this was always a developer phone with the most up to date supported software. Johnny on the street wants gimmicks and flamboyant UI's. Google could market this till theyre blue in the face and the average person will still not want it. Just try to convince someone who is not tech savvy to purchase one a Nexus device, I guarantee most will wonder why anyone would buy one when they could have the cheesy features and tacky UI's that Touchwiz and Sense offer. YET, these are the same who will complain about how bad Android is and how they hate updates and changes to their software. This is just the reality here and I doubt it wil change anytime soon, marketing or not. I for one will always buy a Nexus device, but understand I am in the vast minority.....and happy to be.
[Nexus 5X General] SIGUEL:
If you think is fugly and not worthy of an upgrade, and you're happy with your Gnex, WHY YOU'RE *****ING ABOUT IT????:confused:

For me based on specs. alone the New Nexus is 1st day buy without a doubt.The new camera cant be worse than the one in the Gnex (Mediocre @ BEST), is simply impossible. Add a S4 Pro/320 adreno + 2GB RAM + No more AMOLED Pentile crappy screen and a Great/Good build quality materials (if it resembles the Optimus G) and you got the best phone in the market IMHO.

[Nexus 5X General] anishs:
I really don't understand why people are complaining about the lack of storage on this PROTOTYPE the clear distinction being this is a PROTOTYPE.

We have seen the Nexus S have 8/16GB versions and the Galaxy Nexus had 16/32GB versions. So what reason does Google have to reduce the storage from the previous version?

Even if they have a new version of the Nexus 4 with 8 GB storage it'll most likely be to produce a cost effective device, they will have more variants for people with needs for higher capacity.

At last the Nexus 7 launched with 8/16GB variants, we now see the 32GB variant in the wild. So obviously Google sees that people want devices with a large amount of storage.

So please stop complaining about this PROTOTYPE having a small amount of storage :D

Theres many other things to complain about this hardware haha

For Ex:

The screen isn't AMOLED, personally I really like AMOLED especially at night because the blacks on an AMOLED screen are really black.

The processor isn't Cortex-A15 (although the S4 is pretty close to it's performance levels).

This is a quad-core processor, which doesn't show much more benefits from dual-core variants (especially when compared to dual-core Cortex A-15 processors) I'm not just talking about performance but battery life and efficiency too.

The biggest gripe I have with this prototypes hardware design is the bottom and top bezel.. They're huge. I mean ever since I found out that the Galaxy Nexus will have no hardware buttons I was hoping for a phone with really tiny bezels all around. Unfortunately the Galaxy Nexus had pretty big bezels and this phone has a similar bezel size...

What's the point of having a phone without any hardware buttons and huge bottom and top bezels... Might as well give us more screen to use (by adding hardware buttons) if your going to have a bezel with that size..

Im probably going to buy thos phone as soon as i finish this school year. It looks realllllly nice, and 8gigs really isnt that littpe, at least for me. I have all my music on Google Play, and i use maybe 5 apps from the play store anyway. This would be perfect ifjts cheap, too.

The Nexus S was pretty good at its time i believe (although I could be thinking about tje Nexus One).

I don't think 2100mAh would be enough.... The Nexus S uses that battery, the Gnex has a bigger battery. The Optimus will have a .5" bigger screen and better hardware so it'll need more juice.

I really do think they'll change a ton of stuff after the prototype stage, assuming this is the next Nexus. Which is being codenamed "Mako" BTW. 8 Gig storage, the on screen buttons making the phone uneven at the bottom (extra screen size is needed to have them lower), etc, are downgrades lol. Google wouldn't do that. It's a prototype.

At first I really hated the look, but I'm starting to like it now. For everyone saying they hate it... in about a week after release you'll all love it and want one lmao. At first everyone hated the S3, now look.......
