don't blame google on this.....india maybe a big country with huge population but truth to be told (and hopefully no offense to you), how many indians can afford a google play devices? The reason why nokia is still a big deal in india and indian government is so keen to push the low-cost Akash Tablets is because most indians still consider these gadgets as 'overpriced'.....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anuraj1:
You are seriously underestimating the buying power of the Indian people. I'm guessing your thoughts come from stereotypical media coverage. The reality is quite different.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Its gotta come down to a couple of things I would imagine. 1 would be supply and demand, so if the demand is there and its easy to supply then you would assume that Google and LG would love to sell as many to India as possible. But they aren't .... So maybe there are regulations or restrictions (government or otherwise) that may be deterring Google from doing this? don't know, I know very little about this in India

Australia has a very small population in comparison, yet we have a play store and I bought the N4 on launch, so there must be something else at play stopping google in India
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Not since the Play Store leak.. as I said, it was a public leak, not an internal leakster.

Embargos are common in the industry. Like when you see reviews come out for a particular device at the exact same time from 20 tech sites. They typically aren't allowed to disclose they have the device or have information regarding it early. I believe The Verge is under one right now...

As for that chick more power to her if she enjoys leaving dodgy hybeasting reviews
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
You can say that you believe they are under an Embargo, but you have zero proof, no tech sites have reported anything new since the Google Play store leak, so its bit early to use that as a justification isn't it? Pretty big hunch you made inspector Holmes :cowboy:

I go to India a lot(was born in mumbai) and I almost never see any smartphones there. I spent a lot of time with my uncle in a mobile repair shop in mumbai and all I see are dumbphones. And all I see are Nokias in gujrat. Idk where ur from

Not true. You must be talking about Bihari's who come to new city and have cheap ass chinese ****.

I'm from north btw, - Jammu, Ambala, Chandigarh, Panchkula are the cities I have lived at and the friends with me are either okay poor, or just middle class people but 90% of them have got apple, samsung smartphones.

Which is really small for a country of it's population. Anyway this thread should definitely get back on topic
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seadra:
Is it ever about the population? It is about the number of people who have smartphones so,yeah that number is quite high.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One3OneKing:
It actually is about the population. The smartphone concentration is very low, that is the whole point. 67 mil in a country well over a billion means access to smartphones is relatively low. The US's population is more than a third smaller than India and we have over 145 million smartphone users. I'm not saying any company should discount any market, but numbers do not lie.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamps:
A large chunk of that population doesnt even have access to daily healthy meal, basic education and basic medical facilities. So smart phone is a smart cry.

Hence numbers are irrelevant. Trust me.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seadra:
Sure, US have got 145 million smartphone users and even if we compare it with india , india's number is low, but this doesn't mean google doesn't have a market for Nexus devices there. 67m is still a quite high number and anyways, max US people prefer iPhones so googe's chances to sell more nexus devices are more here than compared to US.

The only thing google has to do is to make people aware of nexus devices. I'm very very much sure 95% of smartphone users in iNDIA doesn't have any clue what Nexus phones/tablets is. There is zero marketting for it here anyways.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_mobile_phones_in_use

Also, that list for india was updated on april but for US, it was of June, I don't have any clue how much numbers would increase in 2 months but I'm guessing it would be quite high.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One3OneKing:
Numbers are never irrelevant when you are running a multi-billion dollar corporation, never. To believe otherwise is completely naive.

It would not increase enough to matter over the course of 2 months, otherwise it would be much higher already. And like I said Google should never disregard any nation but it's about priorities and if you were running a company you have to prioritize a nation with a higher concentration of smartphones. I hope the N5 situation gets worked out there, but we should get back on topic so that's the last I will say about that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seadra:
well atleast it's a start. That's why I hope N5 do get's a global release.

Is the debate a result of no new nexus 5 rumors? ?:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lombardo8:
I reckon it must be logistics/regulations that has stopped Google from offering Nexus phones for sale on the Play store in places like India. 67 million smartphone users isn't a number to be sniffed at. There is a very large technologically aware middle class in India. There are quite a few prosperous European countries without these devices on their Play store as well and I am sure it isn't because Google think there is no money to be made in these countries.

I write here because I think there will be the same price in Ue...

Maybe I've misunderstood something or maybe I've explained my point bad.

1) last year there n4 cost 350$ in USA and 300€ in European countries which have play store? If yes the change isn't 1-1 if no I got bad information about last year.

2) in Italy there wasn't play store devices last year... And lg sell here to 600€!

My conclusion: i heard (not here) about the european price should be 350€ (if in the usa will be 350$) while i think it will not and should be 300€ like last year (in all Europe on play store) IF and only if in USA it will cost effectively 350$.

Hope you got my point ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
And for all we know that prototype has been revised 5 times. Just cause the outside looks the same doesn't mean anything. Google will announce the phone only when it's ready. I for one would rather wait 30 more days and have a phones that is glitch free than have them rush out a device that isn't ready. I also think everything is on hold waiting for the n10 to pass certification as they want to announce both at the same time with 4.4

Of course BUT Google didn't show the "N5 prototype" in this video for nothing... You can't say that all these teasings are a little bit too much now.

Even if it's always a good thing to wait for a better device 50 days is enough imo. Moreover the coming days won't change anything about N5's software and hardware (too late so only paperworks)

It's more than possible that Google didn't have enough control on all events during the previous 2 months. Google wanted to launch N5 earlier but for external reasons they couldn't (just a supposition :))

The N4 isn't even a year old yet. Google is in no rush to release, it is the users that are impatient. Can you imagine if company's let the users dictate it's release dates.

I don't understand this sense of entitlement from some people here thinking because they want something a company should just give it to them whether they are ready or not.

Google stock didn't reach over $1,000 a share because they don't know what they are doing. It is quite the opposite so let them do their thing and when it is ready it will be ready. 1000 XDA users aren't going to change Googles way of operating.

May be there wanted to release it early but there happened some problem? may be as the guy above posted that they want to release both n5,n10 with 4.4 so that's the reason for the late release date. Don't post your posts here like it is some kind of fact.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
It is called basic business sense. To say they wanted to release it early is based on absolutley nothing. They want to release it when they are ready to release it. If they release it this week or next week will make absolutley no difference to them. Can you think of anything it will effect if they released it last week or if they releas it next month.

The world will keep turning and Google is obviously happy with ther Q3 results so anything now whether it be this week, next week, or next month will be counted towards Q4.

Every date you have seen has been made up someone. Stop mistaken that as dates Google wanted to release something.

The best thing I think I have read so far is the claims it was delayed because it wasn't released on rumored days. I would think these people were just trolling but they are serious. lol

I don't like phablets and tendency of making flagships bigger and bigger every year. I will most probably skip N5 and stick with N4 that has imo perfect screen size even with navigation bar. I don't need to upgrade my phone every year. I could accept 5 inches if it looked like on S4 (with very thin bezel) that is in fact only slightly bigger than Nexus. However anything bigger than that seems unacceptable to me. I hope every single oem won't follow this tendency or at least some will give consumers an option and manufacture smaller variants with comparable specs. Otherwise it looks like users that not really are enthusiasts of Note's size handsets will have to settle with middle ends.
