Please share with us how you already know how the N5 camera will perform in low light conditions and how video volume in loud areas will be?

Also, can you please post some pictures you have taken with the N5 in low lit areas so the rest of us can judge for ourselves on the camera quality.

If you got some video on your N5 I am sure a lot of folks here wouldn't mind seeing that either.

Thanks, I know you will come through for us!

It was like with Nexus 4, which had the same mic and almost same camera like LG G, but being modded down to 8mp. Nexus 5 is based on LG G2. LG G2 records with distortion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzmJLCNZJdU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

So simple in terms of analytics, Nexus 5 will have the same mic, thus distortion is obvious. Same for the video. If Google pay attention to this issue, that will be miracle.

Well I was planning on holding out until the price dropped since my Nexus 4 was still running strong. However, I just lost my Nexus during my vacation, and had to pull out my old T-Mobile G2 with a dead spot on it's digitizer. Definitely going to have to save up for the Nexus 5 now.

I never take a direct upgrade as you just get a spec bump, I always go for something different

Nokia n958gb - IPhone 3gs - HTC hd7 (plus iPhone 4s work phone, still in posession) - galaxy s3 - nexus 4 and hoping to afford a note 3

[Nexus 5 General] lawalty:
Same here! I just recently returned my Note3 to wait for the N5. My main reason is the carrier restrictions. I was a big fan boy of isis. I always used it. However a week prior to the Note3 release, the brain heads at isis cut-off the ability to add funds. GEEZUS! Now, unless I had an American Express card, or a Chase customer, I can't use the tap-to-pay feature.

I'm looking forward to Google Wallet!

However, I will miss the "all day" heavy usage I got with the note3's 3200ma battery. That thing was a BEAST!

[Nexus 5 General] Jgjd691995:
is s2 to n5 considered an upgrade here ??
[Nexus 5 General] hirodina:
I am planning to sell S4 and buy Nexus 5. I really liked S4 but I am really tired of KNOX... I heard that LG uses some "Gate" or something similar to KNOX... I hope that Nexus 5 will be fully unlocked. How was it with Nexus 4? Were there flash counters and system statuses etc etc.? I really want hi-end phone that I will be able to fully modify and then revert to stock if needed. I saw leaked photos of N5 and I don't like bottom part of the phone, there is just too much unused space, they could make capactive buttons there and could leave screen bigger. That's what I liked on S4, that most of the phone was filled with screen. I also liked Air View bs, it had good potential and I expected, that a LOT of apps will use it. But almost none do. How was your experience with Nexus 4? It was also made by LG so, how was it modifiable?
[Nexus 5 General] alangrig:
There's no flash counter. You can unlock bootloader and relock at any time.

Free space at the bottom of the phone is logical: you can grab phone with one hand and shot video, and you don't have to worry about sudden capacitive buttons initialization . So it's very convenient. Unlike S4, S3 you always have to keep in mind, capacitive buttons might be initialized occasionally, which is not comfortable and results in disruptive video record.
[Nexus 5 General] hirodina:
Hmm it makes sense with that free space :) And it's super cool that you can unlock and re-lock bootloaders again! I think it will be "harder" or.. more time consuming to flash things on Nexus, that it was on Samsung tho. But I'll get used to it in no time for sure. I just like to have HW home button. It's not necessary to have back and menu, as it's usually in apps anyways. But if application freezes and display is not responding, you can't do anything on nexus 4 right..? As the buttons are part of UI. Usually pressing home button fixes it, that's what I am kinda worried about. What's your experience, have it happened to you, that UI had frozen? Also is battery removable? That's also very important if system freezes. And with hw buttons I, at least think, that there was mod for "menu, back, home" to be in power menu. So that would solve my worries.
[Nexus 5 General] alangrig:
On stock ROM never happened to me since purchase 2013-04. Once did on Custom ROM. Hold power button 10 sec and that's it. So there shouldn't be any worries in this department.
[Nexus 5 General] hirodina:
I'm checking out Nexus 4...restarting by holding power button is cool I think. But still...no removable battery makes me feel unsure. But no microSD? that would be unusable for me. Any info if there will be microSD card slot in N5? Also I'll have to take my phone out of the pocket to unlock it, by power button on side. I like quick waking up with home button. I can just take my phone half way out of pocket and operate on it already. That's necessary for me in school. And also..It looks like those capactive buttons are easily pressed when playing games. I mean really easily. And correct me if I'm wrong, but those buttons count in display size? so if it's 5'' only like 4,8'' will be usable? I really like that it's modifiable tho :\ I need replacement for my S4... not sure if it will be N5, because of all these things i just wrote. Try to convince me for N5....please... :D
[Nexus 5 General] donalgodon:
No, there won't be micro sd expansion. It's just not part of Google's plan for their devices. Yes, the on screen buttons on the S4 did consume some of the screen size, but they are better integrated into the UI in 4.4, so they don't really get in the way on the S5 or seem to cut off the bottom. Thanks to the transparency mods that Google has implemented, You'll get a more full screen effect. Second, you can always flash a custom ROM and/or add PIE controls, which will hide the until you need them.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
There will be NO MICROSD SLOT as google boycotts them. Reason? They dont want to pay a license to use those in their phones.

Onscreen softkeys are a norm in nexus devices. They are not included in the 5 inch screen for example, so useable screen space is something like 4.5 inch but with transperancy, it will look good enough.
[Nexus 5 General] wreckone:
I'm upgrading :D but after this one, upgrades will be more like every 2 years. I'm also going to leave it stock for as long as I can hold out. With my N4 I haven't been able to stick to one ROM for more than a week :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
Stop trolling. Just buy another samsung product if what you want is microsd slot and ugly home button.

Be sure to know what a nexus device really is. It's a pure android. Android doesn't support microsd slot. And stock android doesn't crash like touchwiz.
[Nexus 5 General] alangrig:
Well, can't really convince you on Nexus 5, cause I'm skeptical about mic quality that comes from G2, low light video quality and sound, but that in terms of hardware.

In terms of software yes it's gonna be great, but many features you get used to in Touchwiz or Sense will be missing. Of course, you can flash custom ROM, but based on previous experience, custom roms always have bugs. Latest Google updates, especially updates from 4.2 to 4.3 are not so significant, and Kitkat gonna bring only UI and some software optimization, nothing revolutionary.

So 2 points: hardware + software. In terms of photography, video and sound Google never been in high end level. So it remains to be seen with Nexus 5. In terms of software, you phone will be up to date + one of the best support from developers.

So it's up to you.

As for me, looking forward for Nexus 5 review. HTC ONE low light performance and sound quality really keeps me in.
[Nexus 5 General] hirodina:
What the f... I am seriously considering to buy N5 so you stop trolling.

I found out that you can double tap display to wake up phone...nevermind if it's mod or in stock rom, because I'm planning to move to custom. So there is no need for home button then. So last thing that's stopping me from N5 is microSD... if there would be 64gb variant, I would be satisfied... but 32gb is small for me :\
[Nexus 5 General] alangrig:
Just to be precise:

I'm on Nexus line starting from Galaxy Nexus, and to be honest pure Android crashes as well, especially Google apps.

Upgrading... "twice"....

So, even though I knew a "new" Nexus was eventually going to be around the corner-- I jumped at the chance to buy a 16G Nexus4 when the price dropped two months ago. A decent upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus. Told myself that would hold me. BUT.... as the end of October has approached, I realized that despite that I had convinced myself that "the Nexus 4 will hold me for a few years", I was totally lying to myself and I can't wait to get an N5 the very second it comes out.

So, while the resale price is still decent, I sold my N4 on swappa dot come for what I paid for it. (Why did I keep the Galaxy Nexus instead of the N4, for what will eventually become my backup phone? The removable battery... thus, my Galaxy Nexus will last forever...). I am guessing the resale value of the N4 drops quite a bit after next week. There will be LOTS of them for sale :)

So yeah, I'm upgrading. The second it shows up on the play store. No thought.
[Nexus 5 General] dingokevin:
well the note 2 is sold now I wait. :victory:

the question is do i buy the 16 or 32gb :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] mattsileo:
I'm just curious - not 'trolling' or being critical in any way, I swear - but to people who feel like they absolutely need a removable SD card option or 64gb internal storage, with what are you filling up your phone storage? I ask because ever since I uploaded all my music to Google Music, I just don't know how I'd ever fill up 32GB, let alone 64gb.
[Nexus 5 General] CptTroller:
32GB is better.

[Nexus 5 General] nyyankees1237:
*sigh* you know some people actually MOST people do not have in any way shape or form unlimited data plans. Once again, the cloud is absolutely NOT ready for prime time yet. Until that point (when carriers offer unlimited data plans regularly and with ease) more local storage will be needed. I have thousands of photos in my library, my music collection is 12GB alone and growing. I like to have lots of apps and games on my phone. What's the point of having these incredibly powerful devices when their potential is bottlenecked by storage.

Smartphones aren't just phones anymore, they're insanely powerful pocket computers. Think of how much storage the average PC or Mac has. Hundreds upon hundreds of gigs, if not terabytes.

I don't mean to sound rude, I'm just saying I hate when people come off like more memory is a bad thing. Yeah for some people a little memory is sufficient for many many people it just simply isn't.
[Nexus 5 General] mattsileo:
Didn't mean to rile you up- I definitely don't think more memory would be a bad thing. And, I'm on a limited data share plan. Seriously, I just wanted to understand why so many people now seem to write off any device with 32GB or less. Different features have different values to every consumer; storage amount just isn't as important to me at this point in smartphone 'evolution,' that's all.
[Nexus 5 General] farangutan:
Extra storage does come in handy for travel. Any time you want to hop continents you will love that space for music and movies. But day to day, I don't have a problem with 16GB. But that is as low as I'll go.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
I regret having my 8GB N4 for that purpose. I thought that having my 2012 Nexus 7 would suffice offset the storage limitations but I gave it away to my parents. Now I'm waiting for the 32GB N5 especially when I take my long 3 flight trip to SoCal from Buffalo, NY (because I'm a cheapskate).

Will probably get it after the first wave. Will be interested to hear how battery life is, etc. Annoyingly getting by with a cracked screen and broken volume rocker on my N4 right now. I'm at the point where I want a phone that just works, so I don't have to mess with rooting. It seems like CPU specs are at the point where performance will always be good. So hopefully the camera is a lot better and having LTE enabled by default should fix me right up.

[Nexus 5 General] wngmv:
:good::good: I did the same thing last year....Picked up GNex from Google Play around July and sold it for $300 right after the announcement of N4. Then suffered with my G2 (from HTC) for a month for the release limbo2. Then I swore Google couldn't pay me enough to go through the same thing with the Nexus. And now here we are again....My father need a phone, which means he'll have my N4 when I finally lay my hands on N5. After less than 2 weeks of Limbo hopefully.
[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
I want to see it as well.

One thing that I find annoying about the look of it, and feel free to mock my odd and general lameness, but why do handsets like the n5, lumia series and some samsung handsets insist on having a screen that is off centre?! I.e. there is more bezel on the bottom than the top. It just looks weird. Samsung finally got it right with the gs4, but the others are still guilty and it's an eye sore.

Is it too hard to follow the likes of the moto x and the iPhone?

I will hang on to my Note 2 for a little while after buying the N5 when it comes out just to make sure I don't have buyers remorse. I think I am finally over my non-removable battery / non-expandable memory phobias. LTE and 32GB of storage is enough to sway me to the Nexus dark side.

I'll be moving on to the Nexus 5 from my Galaxy S4!!

Though I'm perfectly happy with the S4, I recently cracked the screen on it and a full lcd replacement costs around $250!!

Figured I'd just add another $100 and get the Nexus 5 and sell the S4 for whatever I can get...or wait till the parts get cheaper and fix it later to keep as a spare phone.

On a side note - Who thinks that they'll be announcing the Nexus 5 tomorrow (Oct 24) event? I'm skeptical but have my hopes up anyway lol
[Nexus 5 General] Elsydeon:
I'm normally a very staunch supporter of a bloat free stock Android phone, but for the first time ever, I'm on the fence about buying the next Nexus device. I have to admit that thus far, it seems like I've had hardware issues with every Nexus device I've owned, as though you really do "get what you pay for". My Nexus 7 1st Gen had the bezel separation issue, my Nexus 4 had rebooting issues, my Nexus FHD 2013 has had pretty bad touch screen issues. This makes me really wary of wanting to do an impulse buy of the Nexus 5 at launch.

Secondly, I'm currently rocking a LG Optimus G Pro E980, which is an incredible amount of phone for the ~$400 you can get them for. 32GB storage + microSD, 5.5" screen, 3140mah battery, 13MP camera with true manual focus. Aside from the faster processor and maybe better camera processing, the Nexus 5 would actually be a downgrade in every other way.

[Nexus 5 General] Thank Me Later:
Thanks for the love! I appreciate it. I try to keep my opinion as honest as I can. I have no reason to lie because I don't work for no carriers or phone companies. Just expressing from my experiences. I'm not one of those people who talk about a product like I know how it really is but I've never owned it or played with it enough to really judge it fully. You can't get to know a product based off specs. That doesn't give you the user experience. It only gives you an idea of how it may be or may not be.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
The price will most likely stay steady at $300/$350. I don't see them deviating much from that.

$300 is not a bad deal. I would totally want to buy it at that price.
[Nexus 5 General] nyyankees1237:
Nexus 4 camera experience is mostly subjective (as with any feature of any phone). What may be a great pic for one person and their device may be much worse for someone else and another device and vice versa. Personally it serves its purpose well as my phone camera. Although I will say the GS3 had better quality. I'd take everything in the Nexus 4 besides the camera over the Galaxy S3 though (besides storage and removable battery obviously)
[Nexus 5 General] namartlu:
I've got LTE running on my N4, so that's not the motivation. For me, the motivations would be screen size, camera quality, storage size, and battery life.

screen size: 5 inch sounds big, but maybe not much bigger compared with N4's 4.7 inch... will have to see it in person...

camera quality: heard it has OIS? Will have to see samples.

storage size: if 32GB available then big yes...

battery life: doesn't look too promising, just 200mah or so more?

I hope the back is not like the leak, kind of boring...

Maybe if it comes in white right away, then yet another reason to consider the upgrade.

I will keep the N4 as backup device as can't sell for too much anyway...
