The problem with that is quick access to the buttons. While a seemingly miniscule issue, having to tap twice in order to use the home or back buttons is not good UI practice and could be frustrating in the long run (at least for me).

Now I know there are instances where for video from the gallery where the soft screen buttons go away completely (no dots or anything) unless the screen is touched. Youtube should be updated to something like that when viewing videos full screen.

But I agree, there should be a way to hide the navigation bar using a swipe up from the bottom bezel gesture so it at least gives users the option to hide at will. Otherwise, it should always be persistent.

[Nexus 5X General] Greg Tolan:
there is always the app GMD GestureControl, It allows for a predefined gesture to hide the Nav and status bar along with other helpful shortcuts.
[Nexus 5X General] lookitzjohnny:
for me all videos on sd card play full screen and the nav bars hide. the only time when the navbar doesnt hide and instead display dots is when i watch a youtube video full screen through flash (web browser) and not through the native youtube app.
[Nexus 5X General] Anubis007:
what?! this far from the final product mate, this proves it all.

the G Nexus has 1750 mAh battery, 1.3 mp front camera and 16 gb minimum storage. Google wouldn't dare release a Nexus with those specs.
[Nexus 5X General] raze599:
My point exactly ;)

Those particular specifications should be at the very least the same as the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 5X General] xdviper:
The question I'm wondering about is... How did this site get hold of the Nexus all the way in Russia? Did someone leave it in a bar? I mean I'd understand if they were testing out carriers, modems, radios but GSM is pretty much the same everywhere, no? Even if they did get it in a legal way, wouldn't having this device, require you to sign a NDA in order to not leak to the public? This is crazy. How many are there in the wild, that don't belong to Google Employees?

[Nexus 5X General] jacklebott:
On-screen software buttons need to be separate from the rest of the screen. Meaning, we should have the whole screen space of 720x1280 or whatever, then the 96 pixels space of the buttons should go further down to make it 720x1376. THAT would be my dream implementation of software buttons

4.55" screen (1280×720, 323 ppi)

13 MP camera, 1.3 MP front facing

1GB RAM

16GB internal storage + microSD

1750 mAh	removable battery

131 x 68.6 x 8.61

LG Optimus Nexus Specs (so far):

1.5GHz Quad Core Snapdragon S4

Adreno 320 GPU

4.7" screen (1280×720, 312 ppi)

8 MP camera, 1.3 MP front facing

2GB RAM

8GB or more internal storage, no microSD

1500 or more mAh non-removable battery

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

I really hope that Google make the necessary changes to the final HW version. Paying an extra 50 for that feature will not be a problem. The phone has all the bells that I wan't to replace my Nexus One, Except a microSD slot. And I hope that the battery will be a good one. The LTE connectivity is not a big thing that I really care, but storage limitation it's my biggest concern (I'm really not a fan of cloud storage at all).
[Nexus 5X General] Waza_Be:
Some people here seems to have difficulties to understand that an SD Card on a Nexus device will NEVER happen.

Yes, you can rant, cry, and complain on the forum, threaten Google not to buy it, the Nexus and future nexus won't have an SD Card. Period.
[Nexus 5X General] raze599:
Exactly. I personally think that if somebody is using more than 16GB they are probably very into media, and for media they are going to want a phone like the Note II with its huge display and expandable storage. A Nexus isn't for everybody.
[Nexus 5X General] chaos90222:
I think the reason that people like extendable storage is that it's much more cheaper to buy a low storage phone and a large storage SD card than a large storage phone.

At less this is why I wish the nexus phone can have a SD slot.

And with a sdcard slot, it will be easy to due with when the internal storage has not enough space. No one can say that he will never face this problem, right?
[Nexus 5X General] ichbinich:
Google should one thing like Apple and thats to sell their phones in three different variants: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB (even though they have their own cloud, you can buy that much storage anyway).

Apple's doing that with their iPhones all the time and everybody can buy that much storage he needs. I think in this (and only this ^^) case is Apple doing a better job than Google.

I would appreciate if the next Nexus would have those storage steps.

Is this one thicker than the GNex`?
[Nexus 5X General] Zurginator:
Apple is also selling enough of each to warrant the options. Google will (sadly) probably only sell as many Nexus 4's as Apple sells 64GB iPhones --- if even that many.
[Nexus 5X General] Nebucatnetzer:
What do you mean? The Gnex is the one from Samsung. Without the glas on the back.
[Nexus 5X General] raze599:
I think they definitely wont sell that many of these. Practically nobody knows the Nexus line of phones exists. People ask me "what phone are you going to buy next?" I say "the next Nexus" and they look at me blankly. If they get their marketing together then the line has a lot of potential. It could in a few years rival iPhone sales. Thats if they market the hell out of them like Samsung does with their phones.
[Nexus 5X General] DynamicRam:
I really liked the wallpaper i re-sized it and i will be searching for a higher resolution one
[Nexus 5X General] Madarox:
If it will actually be 8GB only then there're 3 possibilities:

1-Google will advertise this device as a ''developer phone'' then the small storage space would make sense so the price won't be high.

2-The LG nexus won't be the only nexus and it's just the cheapest of them,the branding on it(''with google'' instead of just ''google'') increases this possibility's chances of becoming true.

3-The 8GB version will be just a variant like what the case is with the nexus 7,they might offer 8GB and 16GB at launch at least.

Or it may not actually be a nexus at all considering that there're phones out there that are running stock android but aren't nexus.Also the android version is questionable,google isn't used to launch a nexus without a new android version.
[Nexus 5X General] Anubis007:
Google should market the Nexus line as a whole very well. it would be more efficient and they could build a reputation from previous Nexus' success. the Nexus 7 is a great example of success and i would imagine people who were satisfied with their Google tablet trying out Google's phone, that of Google could reach out to them. i really fear that LG would hurt Nexus brand name despite the being an excellent device.
[Nexus 5X General] zymo:
Google launched the GNex in 2 versions - 16GB and 32GB. They did the same with the Nexus 7 - 8GB and 16GB with an additional 32GB version coming in the next weeks. Now it's not hard to guess, that there will be 2 versions of LG Nexus initially. There will be a 16GB Nexus for sure (16Gig proto seen in the wild + Taylor Wimbley confirmed 16GB Nexus), but the real question is, will the other one have just 8GB storage or "even" 32GB? Since the majority of the leaked prototypes have 8GB built in and sources familiar with the matter reporting of an 8GB LG Nexus going for 399 Dollar I am highly expecting this to go on sale with the 16GB one.
[Nexus 5X General] raze599:
I dont think it being an LG will damage the name too much. Initially probably a bit, but after a while it should be ok. Although the other day I saw an ad for some LG phone on the back of a bus, I couldn't for the life of me understand what that sentence meant, it seemed like a random collection of words. If LG does some marketing too and markets it like that, I don't see it going too well.

As you say, Google shouldnt advertise the products individually, they should advertise the Nexus name. People will try it just because its called Google. When they use it, there's the brand loyalty built.

Going slightly off topic here, I think most of Apples success is solely due to marketing and not the actual product. The product itself is good no doubt about that, but if the iPhone was marketed the same way as a Nexus device they wouldnt have very many sales at all. Maybe 10% of their current sales.

I know Google doesnt really care what phone you use as long as you are using Google services, but the Nexus line will help build a strong ecosystem for Google just as Apple have all their iThings. Some iPhone users will come to Android then because the daily experience will then more or less be the same as what they're used to.

[Nexus 5X General] gagdude:
Google never launched the Galaxy Nexus in 32 GB - that was only for verizon and sprint users.

If you had GSM, which was much more maintained by Google and has faster updates without the carrier slowing them down, you were stuck with 8 and 16 GB
[Nexus 5X General] raze599:
Well theres not really much they can do about it, and anyway its good for them. They arent introducing any new features that other people might steal, theres no worry of that. To them its free market research. That particular prototype is probably one of the first ones made anyway (revision 1.0) and is far from the final product. Based on the reaction they can adjust the product slightly. They have enough time to do implement some minor changes.

Generally I would assume that wireless charging is slower than normal charging due to considerable energy loss during transmission.

Sony Ericcson phones are mediocre at best in every category. If it was a Nexus Xperia they would announced the phone tomorrow and release it sime 6 months later with old and crappier specs than the Gnex.

So no, no ****ING WAY I WANT A NEXUS SONY.
