Yeah, I've seen the shot with the logo, it's like a smaller N7. That's what I am hoping they keep for the production model, the same back as the N7 because that back is simple and feels premium for plastic.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7TimesCursed:
The logos in the kitkat video are reflective. That led some people to believe the whole back was glass.

How long after going thru FCC does a device take to usually get released to the public?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
How do you guys feel about no 64-bit CPU or Android for N5? I wasn't expecting Apple to produce 64bit chips so soon buy they did.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatherboard:
iOS is rather limited (in terms of flexibility), so I won't expect 64bit (even though it's supported) to magnificently improve an already "capped" user experience.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
I seem to recall the N7 went thru the FCC early June and was then announced by google on the 25th of July (i think)

So about ~2 months
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsavani:
Nexus 4 hit the FCC in early October and came out mid November I think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
But the back is clearly not reflective. If you watch the actual video it is clear it is not a shiny glass back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Don't get the issues with ppl wanting glass. There wasa whole thread about the glass cracking and the dislike for it. I even had the n4 twice and hated it because I felt as if I'd break it and had to baby it. No glass please.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ensifolk:
After my experience with the Nexus 4, I would pretty much rather a NO GLASS. I dont want to hold my phone in a case ( Which I dont actually :D ) Cases make phones bulkier, I only go with a screen protector. The back of my nexus has a lot of little scratches because of a no protector, I have tried to place a back screen protector, and to be honest? it totally made the glass pointless, you will miss the premium feel so I took it off and gave no damn lol.

Question : Why isn't it possible to have the same battery size of the G2 ? If the Nexus 5 is basically BASED on it ? ( Read you people sayin' it won't have the same )
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Based on the Fcc pics of has a 2300mah battery. I think that the reason its not the same size is to save a little money. They obviously don't sell these at least least last year at a premium price. So they have to save money somewhere and battery looks like one way they accomplished this.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ensifolk:
Then we will experience almost as same battery life or slightly better one we had with 4.3, and who knows ? 4.4 may push it better, than our current Nexus 4. Whatever it is, Im buying - Supporting google from day ONE.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Whatever it is I'm buying it also the first second possible. I love the nexus line and everything out stands for. But let's just hope to get a little bit better battery. My n4 always had subpar battery although I had a rev10 that was made in the first batch (had mine in Nov) so that may have had something to do with it.

>^.^< Sent from meow HTC One
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Um......... the Nexus 5 is smaller than the G2 so it makes sense that it has a smaller battery on board, they cram in what they can with the limited space available (would I love a larger capacity battery? YES. would i want the phone to be bigger to fit this in? NO)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
They are leaking something new every 3-4 days.

The announcement of Android 4.4 --> The Nexus appearance at the banned Google video ---> The D820 FCC stuff ---> The "shaky" photos of that device (with apparently a good camera)....

I think this is all on purpose...

It won't last to November.

Maybe the 5th Nexus will come before Nov. (unlike the 3rd and the 4th version).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ensifolk:
I addition to the smaller screen size and factor: we should consider that the g2 has a big battery first cz they have a bigger screen and then there are certain bloat wary services for their UI that uses services steamlessly and need much more battery.

---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

And then you feel like ? All I want is a cohesive interaction between the hardware and kitkat 4.4. To me this is the most important part of the success or the urge of us blind buying the n5

Bigger screen, LTE, Better Cam, better battery life...we need nthng more...nexus4 is already a kick ass phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
A 64bit cpu is absolute overkill for a phone. Apple definitely jumped the gun on that one...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
You gotta have the RAM to back it up too, which I don't think apple has yet

Be interesting to see some benchmarks between the 5s and som android flagships, however trivial they may be at the end of the day
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
3d mark just released its tool for iOS and the results are just bad for apple.

Even thier iPad 4 barely scores OK.

Anyways I feel kinda behind the curve. I went from a s3 to note 2 to finally just a week ago the nexus 4

Long story but I love this little device.

My only issue is with all nexus's is the ext SD.

Google needs to think about us who like to bring our stuff with us instead of cloud and hacked otg.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
There's no way that LG could of timed when the FCC would post the pictures of the Nexus 5 especially since they shouldn't have been in the filing to begin with (it was for a different phone). LG and Google have no power over the FCC. To say that was a planned leak is a bit far fetched.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anuraj1:
Agreed. The video might have been planned but this appears to actually be a snafu by the FCC. This device appeared within the filing of a completely different, already released phone.

If you look now, all those D820 pics in the VS980 filing are now removed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyDumah:
Do anyone see the rear speaker?

wonder where it is.

Looked over all the pics of the parts but couldnt find it.

Btw its almost build like our N4. Even the camera looks the same xD
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Yeah there doesn't appear to be any speakers for the ear piece or back/bottom either. But this is just a test version, it will look different to what is actually put into production

Camera looks totally different, its only in the same location as the N4
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyDumah:

You never disassembled your phone? :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZDAIgwbXk4

look at 4:00 and compare to the camera from this (Nexus 5)

Also there are 2 little openings (speaker?) at the side
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Hmmm ...... then why the massive (ugly) lens on the outside?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaDupaFly24:
This is what I wanna know lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyDumah:
Don't seems to be a lens. Looks just like a really big housing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaDupaFly24:
So do you think this housing is just for aesthetics or does it serve some type of purpose? I am hoping for the latter...lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Lens/Cover/Housing/Shroud/whatever........... call it what you will its BIG and its kinda ugly so I hope it has a very good purpose
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyDumah:
As this is a prototype, I'm hoping that this "housing" somehow gonna exchanged.

I heard of a idea from Google to improve HDR. (Put a led around the lens)

Maybe they put it in there.

But I don't believe it.

At the first time I saw the new Nexus, I was surprised by the big lens of it.

But now with better pictures, I'm really hoping for at least 13 MP :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7TimesCursed:
I know. I'm just saying others thought the whole back was glass because of the logos..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaDupaFly24:
13 MP would be awesome! I just want them to make a product with a great camera! They haven't done that yet, so I am praying this new Nexus phone is the one!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyTrollsten:
All those specs.....

What about price?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
My guess is that they might do something like 16GB as the base for $399 and a 32GB for $449.

If the rumored specs are true, that would still be insanely reasonable compared to the competition.

I'd really love for the pricing to be the same as the Nexus 4 at launch though, but I think this time around that might be a bit optimistic.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
One question to Nexus users:

Not having a removable battery was never a problem for you? I remember a day with my Note II... I tried a TWRP theme and it wasn't correctly created so I was stuck on TWRP logo screen. No other choice than to pull off the battery and put in again holding the keys for entering into Download mode to flash a clean recovery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TobiS87:
With the N4 you can simply do that by holding the power button down more than 10 secs.

Only thing you can't do with sealed batteries is swapping them if you don't have a charger but I never even needed to do that so I couldn't care less about replaceable battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuvo84:
I was afraid of it also when I first bought it, but you can enter easily into fastboot mode, pressing the power button + 2 volume buttons..it's like a reset button combination.

Nexus One and Nexus S are out.

But Nexus S (and his brother the Galaxy S1 GT-i9000) are still updated by CyanogenMOD. (With little tweaks to last with 512MB RAM)

From my point of view...the Galaxy Nexus (1GB RAM) needs more RAM I sold my Nexus 4 and now I'm using the GN and I'm having some apps closed when i use the "recent apps" function. (Apps that had been opened a few second/minutes ago, and I'm not talking about games).

I hope KitKat reduce RAM usage. That would improve the Galaxy S1 (and Nexus S) performance, it's the most popular "CyanogenMOD 10.1 Stable" device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Do u think that N5 will be only available on Play Store? I listened on a podcast that N5 would be sold in specific stores too... That's easier in case of warranty.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazinya:
So basically, the updates on google's phones depends on the phone's hardware and its not automatically that every nexus phone will get an instant update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Why all the excitement? To me, leaks so far have been rather disappointing. Not enough of an improvement over n4. Soc is good enough on it, we won't feel much difference in day to day use. What we would feel, is hugely improved camera and battery life. Battery life doesn't look like it, and camera module looks identical to the one in n4. My only hope is that they have a big module cover because they will put a bigger sensor in and bigger battery as well. And stop will all that "I want 13mp" bull****, anyone with a tiny bit of knowledge in photography knows pixels mean nothing, we need bigger sensor and better GLASS. Sony z1 looks better atm.

Tl;Dr.

I for one won't be getting it if specs stay as they are.

What about if you go camping or something? It's not like they make phones with removable batteries these days...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
By far and away the biggest factor in preventing more light capture (and hence not only light capture but also speed to freeze movement) is not the lens on such a small module with a tiny lens, but rather the sensor. You need a larger sensor to freeze movement, raise low level light capture, and cut down on noise. Zeiss lenses is also marketing jargon. If they're going to go ahead with the same size sensor, then they may as well *reduce* MP count, as that will actually raise the photo quality, not reduce it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
I kinda wish they would just call it Nexus.

So in the future, all versions of the phone would simply be 'Nexus' and tablets would be 'Nexus 7' and the 'Nexus 10'.

With a consistent design, like what this new phone and the current Nexus 7 share, that would make perfect sense.

For marketing purposes, they'd have the Nexus line being anchored by a flagship phone called Nexus. Then they would have the Nexus in 7 and 10 inch versions for tablets. One product line, consistent design and software. No more confusion.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPathik:
Well if they call it the Nexus 4 (2013) then it would make sense with what you are saying...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
No it wouldn't, that would be the opposite of what I'm talking about. I think they should just call it Nexus.

I'm saying drop the number from the phones all together and just use them on the tablets to denote it's a Nexus with a 7 inch screen and a Nexus with a 10 inch screen.

Since the name is not official, no one knows what they'll call it, but I'm hoping they don't call it a Nexus 4 again. In my opinion, not only would that not make sense marketing wise, but it would also cause confusion to consumers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corwest:
Taking out any way to differentiate the versions of a device is a marketing and development nightmare as you said. You need some sort of name to tell the annual versions apart and not just Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
Seems to work fine with the iPad...

I still think since they release one phone a year and it's not an incremental upgrade but a whole new device, they could get away with simply calling their phone a Nexus. Keep in mind, we are the only ones calling the new Nexus 7 a Nexus 7 (2013)... On the play store, it's just a Nexus 7.

Honestly, I don't care what they call it, as long as they don't call it a Nexus 4 again. It's enough of an upgrade to warrant its own name. I think the tablet nomenclature is separate from the phone nomenclature.

Nexus devices are mainstream now, they can get away with rebranding in such a way. Better to do it now and set a precedent.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
When there's no number to denote the variation people may assume Nexus is a reference to the original nexus 1. If I say iPad I could very well be referring to iPad 1 or the new iPad (4). It's better to at least the year in the same to avoid confusion.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfoshizzle:
GOOBUNTU Nexus Edge sounds fkin awsome
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
Nexus IS a reference to the Nexus One and every device that followed. That's the one part of the brand that's stayed consistent.

A Galaxy Nexus is still a Nexus, not a Galaxy phone. A Nexus is a Nexus.

As a reference, you could say it's the Nexus (2013), but that wouldn't be it's retail name. Keep in mind that Google doesn't sell the new Nexus 7 as a Nexus 7 (2013), it's just a Nexus 7.

Anyway...

What's in a name? That which we call a Nexus, by any other name would still smell as sweet.

Obviously you guys don't agree with me and that's fine because I'm only expressing what I think would make sense in my own opinion but I respect your opinions too and you guys do raise some valid points.

A few weeks ago we all thought Android 5.0 was KLP... Google has a knack for throwing the unexpected at us, so who knows what it'll be? Everything about this phone is conjecture and speculation at this point.

At the end of the day though, I'm gonna buy this phone regardless of what they name it. The Nexus brand is what sold me a long time ago.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyzor:
No glass = cheaper, lighter, more durable, less need to put it in a case too. Most people put phone down with face up anyway.

The camera looks like the same as G2's 13 MP with OIS: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7205/hands-on-with-the-lg-g2-lgs-latest-flagship

Snapdragon 800 has more integrated components, mainly the radio so should be more thrifty with battery. Also GRAM technology. Some G2 reviews are reporting much better battery life than the extra capacity can bring.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-G2-first-battery-test-results-surface_id46398

It should be called Nexus 5 because: 5th Nexus, 5" screen, based on screen size like nexus 7 & nexus 10. And maybe another reason is to 'catch' up with iPhone 5's name for the casual buyer who may associate '4' with being less than '5'. Maybe after this year, future Nexus 5 2nd gen, Nexus 4 2nd gen in 2014.

Naming would've been easier it they kept the G branding from the G1 & G2. Then the tablets could keep the N* in their abbreviations, or use NT for nexus tablet and N for phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
I completely agree. That would've been more in line with how previous phones were named in the Nexus line.

It could've been Nexus G instead of Nexus 4 and this new one could've been Nexus G2.

I think Samsung pushed harder to have their own brand represented along with the Nexus brand, hence the Nexus S (Galaxy S) and Galaxy Nexus (Galaxy SII). I have a feeling LG didn't want this association with their new G Series.

Keep in mind, LG already produced a G2X with stock Android that was a commercial failure, so I think they were distancing themselves from that by downplaying the relation between their new G series and the phone that became the Nexus 4.

With the success of the Optimus G, the Nexus 4 and the new G2, LG has proven they are not a one trick pony and can produce some top notch devices. Perhaps they'll assert their brand this time around like Samsung did in the past.
