That's why the next Nexus will be probably out of stock just like N4. I think Google will start with low stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
The nexus devices though this is changing were never meant to be mainstream devices. But I can tell you this I see nexus7 commercials daily now so I wonder how it will be with new nexus phone. The nexus4 was the first device to kinda break into the mainstream though it's not even close to a top selling phone.

I don't think Google wants to be a manufacturer at all. The Nexus program mainly exists for Google's desire to push pure Android. Considering Android is open source and the major manufacturers opt to add their own framework to the ui, e.g. Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, Moto Blur.....the Nexus program is a great decision. The Google Edition devices are good options also, but I think they fall short of what Nexus is about.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shree_tejas:
But now I won't be surprised if Google will go into manufacturing too considering Microsoft has taken over Nokia.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
its a bit of a different situation the whole Micro/Nokia thing compared to Goog/Moto. But anything is possible.

Don't all the leaked info so far match up if:

D802: GSM version of LG G2

D821: Verizon CDMA version of LG G2

D820: Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Seems that way, yes.

It is a bit strange tho that the 820 and 821 are so different in specs but the designation is only 1 number apart
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyzor:
Yeah model numbers don't make sense a lot of times, sometimes I think they intentionally pick random numbers to throw off the press & competition.

The biggest thing I'm hoping for is a launch that's not a fustercluck like last year's...

I was one of the lucky ones that was actually able to get through on launch day, but 10 minutes in it was sold out.

I felt like I won the lottery that day...

Hopefully they've learned from last year and will have plenty on hand for launch.

Either way, I'll be hitting F5 like a madman as soon as it goes on sale.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Hahaha yes I feel the same, I had a Nexus S still when the N4 launched and i recall staying up late the night before the release day incase it got release just after midnight for sale, no luck, then first thing in the morning before work i checked with no luck and then travelling for work i happened to pull over on the side of the road at lunch time using my trusty Nexus S and bought it right there and then in the half an hour window it was for sale

felt very lucky to get one in that crazy first batch release using my NS :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
Oh I'm sure it will be. It doesn't seem like Google has made any changes/improvements to their website.

I was also one of the lucky people who got one on launch day :thumbup:

I also got one on launch day :cool:

Yea and there's probably way more demand for the N5 since the N4 was such a success
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
With Samsung's dominance, they basically on Android at this point. Google is no longer using the Nexus program as a reference point for developers. They can't afford to let Samsung dictate Android (or even leave Android completely).

Happy to say it looks like I was wrong about the LG D820/D821...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
Good news. LG treated me right with the N4 overall. Despite the thermal issue, the phone has been much more stable and thought-out than the Samsung devices I abandoned. Hopefully we get more storage this time around, but I think that's down to old Goog.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
Lol I didn't even know that existed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure his initial tweet was debunked in this thread already but I'm glad he corrected himself to stop the confusion he caused.

The fact is, the D820 is a Nexus device. There was no way it was a G2 based on the actual images in the FCC filing and the fact that none of the specs matched the G2.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkloznica:
What do you think about 2300mah battery.. ? I think 2600 is a must..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
Better than the 2100 in the N4
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
It'll really come down to the other factors around it. It appears to me that the Nexus line is about the current standard of high-end devices. It doesn't need to reach in every category, just provide something that is solid, or at least sufficient, in all. That's why the battery life is good, but not exception; the storage is enough to get by, but not very much; the performance is top of the line, but not experimental; the camera is good, but not great. For the hardware at least.

The software on the other hand is where they really work their magic, so they want to do it is on as consistent of a baseline as possible, hence the reason Nexus devices tend to be conservative in nature. That's my take on it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
I think the 2300 mah battery is a joke , I'm praying to the gods that that was a mistake in the FCC filing , if I remember correctly the nexus 4 was rumored to have a smaller battery than the optimus g and it ended up having the same battery capacity , I really hope we get the 3000 mah , specially after reading the reviews praising the battery life on the g2 , saying is stellar , out of this (smartphone ) world etc ... :banghead:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyzor:
Understandable if they're trying to cram the larger screen in a smaller body along with a more advanced SoC using the same wafer sizes (taking up larger surface area). I'm hoping Google has focused more on battery optimizations, and that the Snapdragon 800 has integrated cellular radio (unlike N4's S4 Pro), which should save power even more. The main drains on a smartphone are bright screen, cell radio, then CPU/GPU, wifi, GPS, & bluetooth are next.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
I currently have a Galaxy Note II and I will maybe buy this Nexus 5 but I'm wondering if the Nexus 5 will have a removable battery and a micro SD slot...

Nexus 4 doesn't have both of these features unfortunately.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
It will have neither. Nexus devices do not have sd cards. The FCC filing indicated the back was not removable either.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
If you're holding out for a Nexus with removable storage, you'll be in for a disappointment my friend.

The Nexus One was the first and last to have that, Google doesn't like removable storage for a variety of reasons.

Here is the best write up I've found on the matter, Jerry Hildenbrand at Android Central wrote this article a little over a year ago.

http://m.androidcentral.com/why-nexus-devices-have-no-sd-card
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
I understand this point of view and I'll probably buy the 64Go version to not be disappointed :)

Do you know how much space the OS take on a Nexus device? With a 64Go version how much space can we have for user apps and other stuff?

I often listen to tech podcasts and music thus I need a comfortable storage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
You're assuming there will be a 64GB version... If they don't offer 64GB on the 7 and 10, I highly doubt they will on whatever the next Nexus phone is.

With that said, on a 32GB I believe there is 26-28GB free for the user.

I have a 16GB 4, 7 and 10 so I can't confirm from actual use.

I'll stick with 16GB because that works for me. All of my music is in the cloud through Play Music and my photos are through Google Plus. I've also got 100GB of Drive storage, 8GB of Dropbox, 50GB of Box and 5GB with Sky Drive.

I'm on WiFi with my tablets and I have unlimited data on my phone through T-Mobile, so the cloud works for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
64GB is possible:

Via

If needed I'll change my habits and use more cloud services.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
A lot of things are possible if you go by what these guys are saying..

In that same story from August 5 they also claimed a 32MP camera, a 7000 mAh battery, and 8GB of RAM among other things... Whoever wrote that has a pretty vivid imagination and no credibility as far as I'm concerned.

Be as optimistic as you'd like, but my point is that if a new device was to get a 64GB storage bump, it would've been the new Nexus 7 since it's a media consumption device by design.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfoshizzle:
put a 3000mah step battery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Anyone that states that a phone will have larger then a 4000mAh batt without being in the 5.5"+ range isnt a credible source.

(stock batteries at least, expanded batteries and extra capacity devices like the droid maxx types dont count)

With current li/lipo it's simply physically impossible to put that into a device that's phone sized without having to remove all the internals that would make it a working phone.

Keep in mind the N7 (both generations) have a ~4000mAh batt and the N10 has a 9000mAh one.

9000mAh is already large for a tablet, where a lot of it's contemporaries are in the 4-7000mAh range.

It would be as reasonable as saying it will have a 1tb ssd or 6G cellular support
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
Did you miss the part where I said that person has an overactive imagination and should not be considered credible?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morphling27:
Maybe Google is going to try to appeal more to the masses with this release. They're branding it with a major ad campaign, maybe they want it to move away from a developer/geek only phone to selling more.

Or, it could be to just bring more brand awareness to Android and its names vs. people thinking it's all Droid...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandub:
It was delivered yesterday, I rooted it last night, flashed CFX and loving it - AND I still like my DHD as well but youre right, I try not to look forward too far into whats coming because the nexus 4 is still a great phone regardless of what better hardware is out there. The Nexus 5 looks nice and might be what I get when my plan expires in March 2014 but who knows what else will be out then.So many nice things are out this fall but I am happy with my N4 and I dont regret a thing.

No a phone does not. But a applicatoin/game that uses video/openGL/texture-mapping/etc. Might use it. Your phone (well phones in the future) will be used for things you have not even thought of yet.

This reminds me of the days when I was told my PC would never use more than 4mb of RAM. Why would you want to put 8MB in it? Yes, I meant to type MB.

Seems nice, at least for me.

9,5% more battery. But probably 15%-30% more battery life with the new Snapdragon 800 (specially with a radio included in the SoC. It's probably a good bye to the "msm_hsic_host wakelock" issue).

I just hope the US version also has LTE for Europe.

Um. Its a leak. They probably were trying to take quick pics before they could get caught. Be happy anything got leaked at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyzor:
The pictures were taken by FCC for record keeping, the 'leak' happened when the docs came out before the device's official release, and got mixed up with Verizon's LG G2 version (the included e-manual is for the latter device). FCC doesn't really care about how focused the pictures are, although they should do a better job since it's trying to gauge the dimensions by the rulers placed on the sides.

The cutout is just to open the back easier on the test version, since the internal pics don't show anything of interest in that area. Plastic back with grippy & anti-scratch material is ideal, it's lightweight, durable, and doesn't add much cost.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
