5,2 inch scrn is way to much. 4,7 is perfect and I mean PERFECT for a phone. I'm so sick and tired that lame "Who has the biggest screen?"-competition *cough* SAMSUNG *cough*.

So yes, its stupid AND ridiculous. I mean how the hell you will use that phone with 5,2 inch screen? With monkeyhands or what?

4.5-4.7" is rather ideal indeed.
[G2 General] aleks_:
I'm not so sure about this device just yet. LG took a huge risk in the design and by that I mean the placement of the volume and power buttons. The specs of the phone are amazing and the screen is up to par with that of the SG4. I really like the whole thinking outside of the box approach but if LG is going to be a leader in the mobile industry they need to take caution in how they differentiate themselves from the pack. The volume and power buttons may catch some people off guard and with a case on it......I can only imagine the drawbacks. It is such a great device and I just hope that the way they designed the buttons to be under the camera doesn't come back to bite them in the long run. Great phone with great specs but terrible placement of the power/volume buttons. We will just have to wait and see.

Nexus S? Nexus 10?

[G2 General] Quarkboy:
I couldn't agree with you more.

This phone is sexy, fantastic SoC, appears to have a great screen that should have good outdoor visibility (according to 450nit spec), and looks like it could be a winner as the new N5.

However, I too cannot get over the placement of the volume/power buttons. I was looking at their marketing and almost bought it "making volume adjustment easier when in a call" sounds good, right? Then I thought about the numerous times I have my phone on my desk at work and can't answer a call. In that situation I always prefer to press the power button and let it ring to voicemail rather than end the call or send a text...doing this now requires me PICKING UP the phone...don't really like that.

Another situation (again for me) is I routinely place my phone down while using speakerphone. Again in this situation would require me to pick up the phone to adjust the volume.

I just really dislike the fact that I cant turn off my screen without picking up the device also...i rarely let the screen time out, at the same time I don't want to shorten the timer on it either.

<------------------ more than likely in the minority for all of these irrational thoughts

*edit* double tap to lock wouldn't work for me either
[G2 General] wideasleep1:
Not irrational, but not necessarily correct. At work, lower (or kill) ring volume and limit (3 rings) to voicemail. If you don't respond to the call, it simply goes to voicemail, no touch/no picking up. Second situation does require picking up to adjust volume, but not that dissimilar with side buttons (lets not get too picky about handling). Finally, sleeping the screen does NOT require you to pick up the device, simply knock-knock it off. ;)
[G2 General] Dark Fear:
G2 is very good device.. no doubt about that.. but it's proven to me.. lg never learn meaning of good support..

Optimus G also was a very good device.. but look at it's condition..4.3 is available still even no offical 4.2 from lg :-\

i think these are just numbers.. (2 ghz and etc) is it gonna be faster and smoother than our nexus 4 in real life?!! NEVER!!

but for sure we have earliest updates for years and g2 gonna sucks..!
[G2 General] RealiZms:
The Nexus S had a Hummingbird SoC. The Nexus 10 uses a one off SoC not used in any other device...and it's a tablet. Brings me to the point. Exynos processors haven't been able to implement all cell radios on one single SoC. That's what the Snapdragon 800 does. The Exynos only works with a few radios(hspa, umts etc.)
[G2 General] Killasmoke:
The Nexus S had Exynos 3 codename hummingbird & the Nexus 10 Exynos 5 dual core both supported in aosp! ;)
[G2 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
To be fair, the N10 needed the SoC because of the screen. I think the Qualcomm ones can be used with such a screen this year (though I'm not sure).

Anyways, I doubt I'll upgrade this year. If I'll get something it'll probably be a nexus 10. Though, if a family member decides that they want an upgrade on their phone I might get the new nexus phone and give them mine instead.
[G2 General] Gaheris:
Display is waaaay too large, this isn't a phone anymore. I hope we gut such quality devices with max. 4.5 soon to stop this trend from having a tablet as a phone.
[G2 General] shadehh:
Its funny how some people complain the screens are too big and others love it. Just a gut feeling but I think more and more people are starting to like big screens. 4.5 inches sounds so small considering the n4 is 4.7.

The reason manufacturers like to go up with the screen as well is because they can give the phone a thinner profile as well as fit a bigger and better battery + hardware. For me my next phone should see an increase in size. My girlfriends galaxy s4 felt just do awesome because of that.

While it has similar dimensions like the nexus 4, it has a bigger screen. Also, or should I say, especially because of the on screen buttons I want a bigger screen. While I don't mind them on the one hand I do mind that they take up a good portion of the Lower screen.

I didn't like pie mode for too long otherwise I'd be using it. Maybe I should give it a second try . . .
[G2 General] pepone1234:
Nexus one -> Nexus S

Do you call that a significant improvement over its predecessor?
[G2 General] gskillivenom:
Its only 5.2 inches. Its actually not that big. Have you seen the Xperia Z Ultra? That is big .
[G2 General] cpanos:
Qualcomm has an issue in releasing factory images. First, they didn't leave Google release factory images for the nexus one and they were only released by HTC. They caused trouble for Google with the nexus 4 factory images which were temporarily pulled for a while. Now they won't let Google release images for the new nexus 7.

Its kinda contradictive, how from one hand they support development with project code Aurora and from the other they lawyer up when it comes to binaries and drivers.

The tip of the iceberg: JBQ (googles aosp maintainer) quit his job saying you can't maintain an operating system whose flagship device can't boot up due to lack of GPU drivers.
[G2 General] Ace42:
I would like the Nexus 5 to be the 1st device with SGX Rogue and next Gen A57, but I highly doubt that would be plausible this time in the year. Cause of this I'm skipping the Nexus 5 for the Nexus 6 that should have octo or big.little.
[G2 General] playya:
As always people get caught up with numbers. I understand its 5.2 but lets be honest people take a look at your N4 if you own one. With onscreen buttons they could actually of squeezed out some more room on the phone if they wanted too. Remember its measured diagonally. Perception is .5 inches means its gonna be much taller and much wider.

Lets all just hold off and wait till we see the phone in the stores before saying its too big... IMHO
[G2 General] katamari201:
It's because there are a lot of idiots who judge phone size based on screen size alone. You know every phone has their dimensions listed in their specs right? Apparently comparing simple millimeters is too complex for their brain to handle. The G2 is about the same size as the Galaxy S3, which was 4.8", a whole 0.4" smaller. The idea of phone-to-screen ratio and bezel size eludes their ability to comprehend. If 4.5" is such a perfect size, then why not get a Lumia 920? Oh wait, that phone is even BIGGER than the LG G2 if you count the thickness. You lose 0.7", and the phone is BIGGER. There needs to be an IQ test for forum registration. Which is heavier? Two tons of feathers or two tons of steel?
[G2 General] mymeatb18:
So I just read something that the next nexus will be made by motorola. Wtf?!?! I just wanna know what the next nexus phone will be why won't they just tell us already.
[G2 General] randomnoob83:
They haven't decided? It's a secret? They don't feel like telling us? Many reasons why they won't tell us
[G2 General] mymeatb18:
I know I just would like to know cuz i don't own a nexus yet. If its based off the g2 I want the n4, but if its a Motorola might be interesting.
[G2 General] NardVa:
I still think LG gets the Nexus again. Moto may get the Nexus next year.

Can't wait for the N5 or what ever it is going to be called. I just hope it has the back buttons like the G2. That would be cool as hell. I just hope the Nexus 5 has a 64 gig storage option that previous “rumors” stated. Will see what happens. LG in my book has always had awesome hardware. Can't wait. Will be saving up no doubt for the N5.
[G2 General] springy:
He used to work for Android And Me and leaked a fair bit about the Moto X.
[G2 General] RealiZms:
I agree. The G2 is the groundbreaking device the next Nexus should be modeled after..Really nothing Moto has done design wise or spec wise lately including the Moto X can even be considered in the same league. Really, nothing can touch the G2(design, spec, sexy good looks).....Which is exactly why the next Nexus should be based off of it.

I will say this . If they make the new nexus with a 5 + inch screen I'm not buying it. Those are not phones. Keep the screen size between 4.5-4.7 or within reasonable size. Not everyone likes holding a tablet up to their face

Haha nice one :D

HTC One: 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3 mm

LG G2: 138,5 x 70,9 x 8,9 mm

So, 1.1mm higher and +2,7mm in width, yea no way you can hold that tablet up to your face...
[G2 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Just so you know there will be NO Nexus 6 (won't say never but probably never) as when the N1 came out Google got into legal issues with the Estate of Phillip K. **** for the Reference of "android" Plus "Nexus". This is of course a reference to Blade Runner's (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) Nexus 6 Androids. I believe they worked things out but I think 6 will be missing and even though the N4 is a 4.7" screen I think as mentioned in the Moto X/N5 thread it'll be a 4" type screen. I remember a Moto exec mentioning that the Race to bigger screen sizes was a dumb race and that they'll focus on SW more. This also seems to be Google's strat as well. It would NOT surprise me at all if the new N4 is the G2 with a 4.7"ish screen. Wouldn't be the 1st time the same manufacturer produced the same phone with a different screen. As for the escalating numbers for the phone name I think the New N7 is the example of what we're going to see for name.

It all goes together in a way. This is my theory from just observations of what's going on now and in the past.
[G2 General] DroidDavi:
I want Google to make of from scratch not based off another device . So I don't care if its lg moto or HTC make
[G2 General] XxLostSoulxX:
So that's why moto just released 3 phones above 4.5"? Right. -insert sarcasm. Dude they will not release a 4" screen.
[G2 General] simorangkir_dcs:
Just make the next Nexus the same dimension to N4 with larger screen, bigger battery, and of course that Snapdragon 800. That'd be great.
[G2 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I did NOT say 4" Exactly. I said 4" type meaning 4.7" or similar. Sorry I confused you by only mentioning 4" 1 time and you passed over the other 2 times I said 4.7". Great reading skills. -insert sarcasm. My point was that the Number is for the screen Class (4.6", 4.7", 4.8" etc) not progressing model number (5th phone is N5, 6th is N6)
[G2 General] blinde:
I hate to break some of your bubble but Google is not gonna release next Nexus without 5,x screen. And that's why it's called Nexus 5.

Bigger screensize is simply just the new way to introduce more modern phones. There's no way going back. Soon 5" is going to be minimun in android phones.
[G2 General] Zbaraszek:
Good news are bad for me :/ I bought my Nexus 4 last week and I hope Nexus 5 will not be the main device for Google.

What do you think guys: how long Nexus 4 will be at the top of the device market?
[G2 General] Chrono_Tata:
Nexus phones are updated for 2 years after their release. The Galaxy Nexus which was released around 20 months ago is still being updated with the latest Android version within a week of the Nexus 4 being updated. You don't have to worry about that.
[G2 General] monkeypaws:
Retarded. I want a phone I can hold not a tablet. As many have said before , it's a numbering system for the nexus.
[G2 General] turydios:
I think the same want a phone not tablet size, but 800 would be great snapdragon
[G2 General] NardVa:
5 inch screens will be the standard for Android phones in 2014. The phones want be to much bigger than phones today. Phone makers are figuring out ways to make the bezel thinner and thinner.
[G2 General] monkeypaws:
Then make it thinner but not bigger. I remmeber before this whole android screen size war , manufacturers were making them smaller and smaller.
[G2 General] anirudh412:
I might be the minority here, but even with the thinnest bezel, I don't want a phone to go past the 4.7" screen size. It's a phone after all! I just don't see the fascination with larger screens. People claim to read ebooks on them! Really?! I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be! An edge to edge design with a 4.7" screen would be spectacular! Moto X has it just about right. I just wish it were thinner.

Sadly, it's not going to happen :(
[G2 General] shadehh:
If the screen remains 4.7 inch I won't be buying it either. :) now let's play the waiting game and see who gets luckier.

P.s: this reminds me of people complaining about 4.7 being too big
[G2 General] RealiZms:
If Google is smart they will release a 5 in the fall and a new 4 in the spring.

I mean why not? They have two different tablet sizes to cater to people that want two different sizes of tablets. It makes perfect sense to sell a Nexus 5 along side a Nexus 4.

I think it's a very real possibility
[G2 General] turydios:
I'm not so sure of rolling a nexus 4 again, but could be a possibility
[G2 General] LoVeRice:
Does that mean we'll have a dual core cpu & 720p display nexus 5? T_T
[G2 General] blinde:
Hey retard. Then buy Moto X or some other phone which has under 5.x " display. Or keep your Nexus 4.

How hard is it to believe that numbering system comes from display size.
[G2 General] monkeypaws:
Watch the name calling. Just my opinion. I'm not the only one with my opinion. as others agree with yours.
[G2 General] blinde:
So how do you then explain Nexus 7 pads which both have 7" display, and Nexus 10 which has, of course 10" inch display.

If Google would have wanted to change that setting, the new Nexus 7 would have been called something else.

No one actually calls iPads these days with their numeral names, they are just iPads, so that's why the new Nexus 7 is also called the same because it is just new version of 7" tablet.

It is highly unlikely that new Nexus will have 4.x display so it's very natural to call it Nexus 5.

Geez... I rest my case.
[G2 General] wideasleep1:
Hate to throw a turd into this friendly sandbox, but the next nexi is RUMORED..there are LG rumors, Sony, and Moto. The name "Nexus 5" itself is a rumor. Even Wimberly didn't call it that...some blogger headline did. Just saying...
[G2 General] jsilvermist:
It's going to be 5" for one reason, and it's the only reason that counts.

The Nexus line, has ALWAYS been a developer showcase of what to develop for, and well, 5" is how all the flagships are coming out as, therefore 5" has to be the one for dev's to use when writing apps.

True, however, there have been many times when a product is leaked and the media name it, and the name sticks well enough that it's used by the manufacturer itself.
[G2 General] randomnoob83:
I don't see why people don't want a bigger screen? Bigger screen doesn't equal bigger phone what if the keep the n4 size and shrink the huge bezels we have?
[G2 General] XxLostSoulxX:
A bigger screen does mean a bigger phone you have to think technically because it is true. If you had shrink the bezels on this phone and upped the resolution then everything would look too small.

Now if you get a screen that's bigger upped the resolution and shrink bezels it would like nice and sleek. I.e LG G2
[G2 General] randomnoob83:
I dont follow how would it everything look small. the screen itself is bigger it'll just take up the space where the bezel is.

When you have a bigger screen and bigger resolution the DPI from the manufacture changes to whatever they feel. My note 2 is different from the n4 dpi

[G2 General] bozzykid:
This is why there doesn't seem to be any way the LG G2 internals will be in a Nexus this year. I just don't see how they can keep the same price point with the G2 internals unless they plan on releasing a newer N4 at the same price point and a bigger N5 based on the G2 at a higher price point.
[G2 General] md1008:
5 inches is not that bad. I mean look at the s4 its all in the design. Despite it being a bigger phone than the s3 in your hand they feel identical to each other.

Boy do I miss the Note 2. The web browsing experience on that bad boy can not be over stated. Seriously phablets are awesome. I can still do most things I do on 4 inch screen than I could with the note 2...God I hope I can afford a note 3 when it's announced.

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

Experia ultra Z 6.4 inches of damn that's a big ass phone.

Then again the phablets with 6-8 inch phones in the future could kill the small tablet market. Advanced technology could make having a 7 inch phone more practical. Samsung was and probably still is experimenting with flexible plastic or what ever the hell. People constantly want bigger phone to make playing with our phones even better. The problem is that they are portable and carrying around an 8 inch phone would be cumbersome. who knows as technology advances the trend might shrink and something like projection could take off.
[G2 General] jsilvermist:

[G2 General] iPathik:
Please note that I am writing this post based on pure assumption.

I think that if LG does indeed make the Nexus 5, I highly doubt that they will use the SnapDragon 800 SOC. If their goal is to keep the $349 price tag, they will go with the SnapDragon 600 SOC and the Adreno 320 GPU similar to the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One. We will also see some differences in camera. It is true that the Nexus 4 was based on the Optimus G but both the phones were not Identical twins, The Optimus G featured a 13MP shooter and our Nexus 4 has an 8MP Shooter. These minor differences are there to drive cost down.

I would buy a Nexus 5 IF and ONLY IF there is a SnapDragon 800 with an Adreno 330.

This is because our Nexus 4 also has a Adreno 320 GPU, which is used in the SnapDragon 600 SOC, but our GPU only pushes a resolution of 720P on a 4.7in screen. If the Nexus 5 uses the same GPU, it will be pushing a resolution of 1080P on a 5.2 or 5in Screen. I believe that this will cause the N5 to stutter and it won't have a long life span. I believe that the Nexus 4 still has another year or two in its life span because of the great CPU and GPU and its 720P screen.
[G2 General] mymeatb18:
I just don't wanna see those buttons on the back kinda retard. I mean how many times do u mess with the volume in call, as they suggested the purpose of putting them there. I adjust volume more often while looking at the screen. having them on the side is easier to use than trying to push the phone out of my hands while they are on the back.
[G2 General] babymatteo:
FYI, the AT&T LG Optimus G E970 is the Nexus 4 twin.

But yah, I wouldn't mind a Nexus 5 with Snap 600 and Adreno 320. As long as it gets a 13MP camera with OSS and a IR blaster. If this indeed happens, I wouldn't mind paying $400 for it.
[G2 General] inspire1989:
you mbLesin

mhhh just got my N4 and now a N5 is announced? well, I don't know any benefit of a N5 when you have a N4. the N4 CPU/GPU is still one of the fastest ones. the camera could be improved but for high quality photos you don't use a smart phone...
[G2 General] babymatteo:
Well, for parents, its always nice to know that you can rely on your phone to take decent pics of your kids at all times...without having to carry the bulky DSLR's (especially when its a 5DMk2 lol)...So a phone with 13MP and OIS would definitely be icing on the cake for a smartphone.
