I plan on it, I got this phone in February so I'll probably wait till sometime this spring to buy the n5

Sent from my Nexus 4 [NEO [MENTION=4149147]1.8[/MENTION]36 GHz] on [PSX v5.0 4.3]
[Nexus 5 General] insomnia:
I will buy it if the price remains the same 299 + tax off contract. Otherwise n4 will stay.
[Nexus 5 General] Tunderpimp:
I'm going to
[Nexus 5 General] mayhem85:
I got the 199 nexus 4 (8gb). I will wait until next year 3rd quarter for nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] iDelta:
I'm gonna shift to Nexus 5 because of:

1) Nexus 5 will have the best specs, and its time to keep the Atrix in the cupboard.

2) I am never taking Samsung. It lacks updates.

3) I love AOSP interface.

4) Because YOLO.
[Nexus 5 General] donalgodon:
There's been a few people saying that the screen was weak. Mine never cracked for the few weeks I owned it, thank God, but too bad that the parts are so expensive.
[Nexus 5 General] Marco Munoz:
Upgrading

I will definitely be upgrading from my Atrix 4G.
[Nexus 5 General] Shira_nai:
Is it possible for N5 to have a micro SD card slot?
[Nexus 5 General] Kawaisa:
No...
[Nexus 5 General] Greefus:
I'm happy with the N4. Just excited to switch phones whenever I feel like and Nexus phones don't cost that much. I did a lot of time on a CDMA carrier. The rubber back is probably going to be my favorite part. It probably won't be a big adjustment size wise either since it won't need a bumper.
[Nexus 5 General] Shira_nai:
why google, why? :(

It's more convenient to move (big) files with it :(
[Nexus 5 General] javskies:
dont listen to him. google could very well surprise us and add it. no one really knows for sure
[Nexus 5 General] Chuckatron:
considering the FCC photos AND the leaked service manual we can definitely say for sure that it wont have SD card support.
[Nexus 5 General] javskies:
the manual has been written off by many because of its inconsistencies and odd similarities to the nexus 4. im just saying at this point in time anything is possible. im waiting for them to say its gonna have a retina scanner unlock feature lol
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Written off? By whom? Did YOU read the manual?
[Nexus 5 General] javskies:
ive read the parts that people have pointed out as weird. have you?
[Nexus 5 General] abalosmusic:
Cant we just use dropboc
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Gimme an addy and I'll send it to you...there is nothing in it that looks remotely like my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] javskies:
you know the dimensions listed in it are the exact same as the 4 right....
[Nexus 5 General] pradhyu69:
i wish it was tht easy...:silly:
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
So you disbelieve all that you saw in that document based on this?
[Nexus 5 General] javskies:
Not at all. I'm saying they messed up on a couple of things so there is the possibility that things were left out

[Nexus 5 General] abalosmusic:
Question is. How do u upload ur music to google music so i can delete it off my phone and save space?
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Based on the clear pics of the various pcb's, they would need to completely replace a significant board to add a sdslot, and there are no known images of unknown slide drawers,etc. Couple that with Nexus history wrt sd, and I believe it's safe to say no sd...

Depends on your collection's size. Mine is well over 20K tracks, so I don't 'upload', I add the albums to my library, and only upload what GMusic lacks.
[Nexus 5 General] Wutang200:
For me the upgrade to the Nexus 5 really depends on a few things below.

Camera - The one in the N4 is awful for an 8MP shooter! My iPhone 4 camera used to take much better and more natural looking pictures.

IR Sensor - The ability to control home appliances like the HTC One can is very appealing to me. It's a feature that I'd make good use of in the real world.

Design - I'd like LG to go for a similar design to the N4 if possible.

Better Wifi Receiver - The one in my N4 caused me so many issues with my home network. Never had a single issue with other devices. Can only use some wireless channels with this phone.

Battery - The battery life of ALL Nexus phones has always been bad. Can't see this improving with the N5 so not too fussed about this one.

Audio - The speaker would be better on the side like the iPhone 4 or at the front.

I do really like the design, look and feel of the N4 though.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
I think I'll stick with my S4. I loved my N4. But since having the IR feature the lack of IR on the N5 for me is a downer. I've got Smart IR app and it's like having a harmony remote on the phone. I'm a fan of Nexus products but will probably sit out this time round.
[Nexus 5 General] niv3d:
So guys I currently have the HTC ONE on ATT. I've always been interested in owning a Nexus phone. I think the N5 is a very good looking device. Would it be worth it to own the N5? seeming as I can sell my ONE + Accessories and still be $50 in the positive assuming the N5 is $349. Thanks!

Ouch no IR hmmm. Honestly have used mine once on my phone though.
[Nexus 5 General] Dark Lazer:
I'm upgrading from my Galaxy Nexus. Great phone but it's run its course. Not to mention yesterday morning I dropped it and it now has a crack on the lower right part of the screen. Still works aside from that, but if I had to use the phone like this for a few more months I would cry. Knowing I'll be upgrading sometime in the next week or so makes me not care too much.
[Nexus 5 General] piffsta1:
I'd upgrade immediately if they released a model for Verizon.
[Nexus 5 General] Tjabbas:
I will upgrade to the N5. My N4 broke the other day. Can't wait until the N5 arrives in Sweden.
[Nexus 5 General] tcat007:
Upgrade? Just going to buy one! My Optimus-V was stolen about a year ago, been using my Nexus7 as my "phone" ever since. Will buy and add a cheap $100/yr T-Mobile plan to it. Have a cheap T-Mobile data plan for my Wifi 4G Hotspot to supplement it. Should be a great device! Will be interesting to see which I use more the 7 or the 5.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
With Nexus devices you pretty much get the OS updates straight away. The one is still a great phone. Do you like Sense? Some people find vanilla Android a bit boring after coming from a skinned version. Do the speakers matter to you? The front speakers are considered some of the best on a mobile device. I had a Nexus 4 after owning the One X. The screen on the HTC was far superior compared to the N4s and it took me a while to get used to Vanilla Android but the Nexus 4 was stinking fast and fluid whilst running stock android. Either way I don't think you'd be disappointed with a Nexus device.
[Nexus 5 General] edward_Valarm:
I have a Nexus 4 but was disappointed it doesn't have USB OTG (On-The-Go). If the Nexus 5 has USB OTG (On-The-Go) I will consider it!

-Edward.
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
That`s easy to answer, most N4 users i guess :D
[Nexus 5 General] niv3d:
Well the speakers being on the bottom of the N5 seem like a great idea. I've never ran stock android for more than a few days at a time being that most aosp custom roms aren't exactly 100% stable. Also the N5 screen should be better than the ONE as its apparently an IPS which I find very appealing. I'm also certain there are highly customizable aosp ROMs for nexus phones.
[Nexus 5 General] letom:
I thought the exact thing but I'm starting to doubt myself after seeing the camera shots of the nexus 5, they were lackluster and marginally better than the nexus 4 which in my view produces awful shots.

Over the nexus 4 how much better is the new Nexus?
[Nexus 5 General] mELIANTE:
"Unfortunately", my girlfriend's Nexus S is on its last legs. I'll "have" to buy the Nexus 5 so she can have my Nexus 4...
[Nexus 5 General] alangrig:
Well, screen won't be that bright and color saturated. Already compared to LG G2.

Speakers on the bottom side not good idea. Sound won't be directed to the listener, the way it did HTC. Speakers will be closed while playing games or watching movies. Having bad experience from iPhone.

Camera won't have real improvement over Nexus 5. Pics shared in G+ from Nexus 5 proves that camera will have noise and bad low light performance: f/2.4.

Actually, I'm really sad Google again missed the shot in camera department. Seems to me Google is too busy with software.

So moving from HTC ONE is really worthless, unless AOSP ROM is preferred.

To present HTC ONE is best Android phone in terms of hardware. Software up to everyone's taste.

My 2 cents.
[Nexus 5 General] .jond:
I'm a frugal dude, but I can't hand over my money fast enough.

Want Nexus 5....
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
I had the 4 for a few months, sold it and bought the S4, regretted it, and now can't wait to get the N5. I won't go back to a non-Google phone again.
[Nexus 5 General] fcng:
Well...

We have to let the dust settle and wait for the first month's worth of reviews to rush out, potential hardware/software problems, general feel in the hands, does the LTE band work in Hong Kong, and PRICE. When N4 came out in Hong Kong it was HK$4,398 (16G) and I got it for HK$4178. The One and S4 were both priced at HK$5398 and HK$5598 respectively. If it is priced in the mid HK$5K then I'll pass since it is considered only mid range in HK. It's only incremental changes and not a BIG advancement compared to N4...so the above mentioned will determine if the N5 is appropriate for an upgrade. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] expertzero1:
probably gonna cop this phone so I can have a second device while working =D
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
Not so much upgrading as a side step but I am in. LG G2 is actually better specced and has a nicer body (imo based on pictures) but I want Kit-kat! The slight spec decrease and software upgrade make it pretty close to a wash imo.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
I have and LOVE a Moto X but I always have to have the latest devices, so I'll be side-grading to a N5. Gonna hang on to my X and switch between the two most likely. Still trying to decide on white or black.
[Nexus 5 General] mevensen:
Sprint Spark and Nexus 5

So, Sprint just released some information on their new tri-band LTE, calling it "Spark", with three phones listed as the first set of Spark compliant devices -- LG G2, S4 Mini, and the Galaxy Mega. Wonder what, if anything, this means for the N5's ability to use the Spark LTE network.

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprin...d-lte-phones-lg-g2-galaxy-s4-mini-galaxy-mega
[Nexus 5 General] Jocelyn:
Nexus 5 supports all three of Sprint's LTE bands (25, 26, 41), meaning it is identical to the phones you listed in terms of capability.
[Nexus 5 General] mevensen:
True, unless Sprint plans to pull something on us with the N5, preventing access to those bands. Not saying they will, just wondering why the exclusion, given the presence of the radios. May just be that the N5 is, technically, unannounced, but it also is interesting that everything else launches on 11/8...
[Nexus 5 General] Jocelyn:
Yes, I'm sure they can't say anything about it. That said, the S4 mini is the only device that comes with working tri band LTE out of the box. Despite having the needed hardware, the G2 won't even be getting the needed update for it until 2014.
[Nexus 5 General] mevensen:
Really? Did not know that about the G2. Wonder why they would do such a thing. Also wonder if N5 will have the same thing happen, then.
[Nexus 5 General] Jocelyn:
The bit about G2/2014 is in the link you posted above. As for what happens with the Nexus 5? Well just have to wait and see :)
[Nexus 5 General] mevensen:
Lol, I guess I fail reading comprehension this morning.

Yeah, I just hate needing to "wait and see", when people clearly know and there is no real advantage to anyone to not telling us. To me, that kind of behavior just erodes my confidence in them.

At this point, I'm tempted to hold on any purchase/upgrade until the picture becomes much clearer.

For better or worst, I'm stuck on Sprint, so I'll just have to work within their mystifying "strategy" for growth and product release.
[Nexus 5 General] chipsjesjeng:
Can't wait for my Nexus 5 :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] 24sevenUK:
I will most likely.

Still using a Samsung Galaxy SII
[Nexus 5 General] Goku80:
beautiful phone that was..but still sticking with my N4;)
[Nexus 5 General] omgpk:
As of now, no, if anything I'll upgrade to the note 3, being with T-Mobile and living in downriver area in Michigan, I get LTE, plus I'm enjoying aicp (android ice cold project). So, unless the n5 blows my mind, I'll be sticking with the ol' shiny black thing
[Nexus 5 General] Ylofromspace:
My N4 screen is broken so i'll upgrade :)
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

I have the Nexus 4 (as "second" phone) and Lg G2 for now but for sure I'll buy the Nexus 5... Because it's a Nexus and because the dev community is awesome:)

I had Galaxy Nexus also, so Galaxy Nexus->Nexus 4->Nexus 5, never disapointed with the Nexus line :)

:)
[Nexus 5 General] rg400smarttowel:
I'm going from N4 to N5.
[Nexus 5 General] txsizzler:
I am using an HTC One (AT&T mvno), and have my Nexus 4 as a backup. If the N5 supports decent USB OTG, I will likely upgrade, and sell off either the N4, or the One, and have a new backup phone ;)
[Nexus 5 General] serginio358:
N4 is too big for me and battery capacity is too small. N5 is bigger and his battery capacity is roughly the same that n4. Conclusion: I Will not buy n5. And then I will keep my n4.
[Nexus 5 General] Philthy82:
I'm going from Galaxy S3 4G to Nexus 5. I've held off on previous Nexii as I'm keen on specs and features and the Nexus has never been top of range, but over time I've also gained an appreciation for how much of a pain it is to find a good custom rom that gives the Google experience and works reliably. The Nexus 5 is pretty much my retirement from that.
[Nexus 5 General] :
i still use a galaxy nexus i ordered june 2012 and i dont see the need to upgrade to a nexus 5. if im going to upgrade it would be rather be an HTC one.

Cons:

camera is of a concern, lately nexus phones have been known to have have mediocre performance, battery is only 2300 with a screen of 5 inches.

Pros: 2 gigs of ram with quadcore snapdragon 800 @2.3ghz

HTC NEXUS 6 or what ever name you can think of here i come! thats if HTC can still survive by 2014.

Asus, Sony, HTC needs a Nexus Phone. They're the onyl manufactures that tries to innovate the hardware aspect.

Instead Google picks out Samsung, and LG who use plastic too much and fails to innovate hardware wise. Wait LG uses touchwiz clone. tsk tsk
[Nexus 5 General] fix-this!:
Gonna hold off till my tax return. No rush here.
[Nexus 5 General] Ceballos:
Oh thanks for advice,

I've been using franco kernel for the last 2 months, not so impressed I should say..

However, now with KitKat (stock/rooted) , i'm just amazed.. For example during the night I just loose 2 or 3% ..

I don't even need to disable wifi. Now my mobile signal is all green 90% of the times (Maybe it's related to the fact that i left Telefonica network (O2) at the same time ??) I last up to 2 days with a moderate usage..

Agree with a waterproof Xperia_Nexus, but I think these brands don"t want to participe, I don"t think it's a google decision..
[Nexus 5 General] g2uzer:
I planned all along to skip the nexus 5 and hold on to my Nexus 4 till the next nexus comes out ,, but I ordered it last week , came in Tuesday and I don't regret getting it at all ,
[Nexus 5 General] mELIANTE:
I'll be skipping the Nexus 5 after all. Flashed KitKat image on my Nexus 4 yesterday and I'll wait for the next Nexus or the next Moto X if it reaches Europe, those extra features are starting to grow on me.
[Nexus 5 General] cc16177:
I came from the Moto X and you could not pay me to go back to that phone.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Not a bad call at all...I flashed KK on N4 today, enabled ART, and it's flying. Not quite as fast as N5 on ART, but the difference is minor enough if both phones are on LTE, there's little NEED to upgrade.
[Nexus 5 General] EfrainTrejo:
I literally had my n4 for like 2 months and decided to upgrade to the n5. I think I made a great decision. This phone is amazing. Also I could have gotten the ps4 but decided on the n5 instead.
[Nexus 5 General] tomciopaluch357:
Well i just did 16 gig black, December 12 will ship that's crazy.
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Is the speaker louder than the N4? Or at least the same?
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't think the N4 speaker was loud at all and my feeling is the same about the N5. I think they are pretty comparable.
[Nexus 5 General] rmhumtex97:
I upgraded from the nexus 4 to the 5 even though I'm just in high school and poor lol I could have gotten a ps4 instead but ehh I can wait for a year or so for that. But then I'll want the next nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] cobyman7035:
the end for was louder n4 I mean

why couldn't they put in dual stereo surround speakers like the Nexus 7

N4 has a very long life.. On the other hand..ps3 is ageing .. I'd have upgraded to ps4

Well I don't play video games much anymore
[Nexus 5 General] dodgebizkit:
Those that upgraded from 4 to 5...apart from the fw, what do you really notice that's different/better? So far I couldn't justify the upgrade but some people here are commenting on a way that sounds like they got a huge jump... So I'm intrigued.

I probably wouldn't if not the lack of the LTE support.
[Nexus 5 General] Thank Me Later:
This is what's nice about Google phones. If you don't upgrade every year to a new phone the software will at least still be up to date on your current phone. Not like you'll fall behind that much compared to other devices that are non Google. Plus if you get bored just try different custom ROMs.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Eye opener. If you don't have the budget to spend on a new nexus every year . you can always count on a huge discount before the new nexus is announced. I might consider buying the nexus 4 since its so cheap. I currently own the HTC one. I may just play with the he roms as they get updated pretty frequently .
[Nexus 5 General] BrianDigital:
no this will be the year I stick to my guns and use this phone till I cants stand it, I hope i really really hope, I would like to spend my tax return on a new gpu for my rig
[Nexus 5 General] xaznxplaya:
Probably not, I just bought the N4 by selling my SG3, so basically I got this for free. Device is faster than the SGS3 the only flaw as people listed is the camera beside that I have no complain. I have 1 year left around with my contract so I'll probably wait until next year to see what goes out. We shall see.
[Nexus 5 General] Thank Me Later:
How much did you end up getting for your GS3? I just sold mines today. $260 cash w/4 cases+32GB External SD Card.

Camera & speaker sound/quality is the two top things I'd like improved on the next Nexus phone. I know I mentioned I'd like to see 1080p HD bit I don't think it needs it. I love the Nexus 4 display > Super Amoled. I can actually see my screen good in bright sunlight. I don't think it necessarily needs a bigger battery. It may help but Google needs to optimize it all better. Kernel, battery, software optimization. My previous GS3's had 2100mAh and the S3 always gave me awesome battery life. 4 hours of screen on time at the least. Sometimes 5 depending on usage. I've been able to see barely 3 hours of screen on time w/the Nexus 4. It starts dying around that mark. I'm talking about being on the network, not being on Wi-Fi all day. That's a whole different story & can save major battery with Wi-Fi.
[Nexus 5 General] xaznxplaya:
I didnt' sell mine for much, it has some light scratches. It was only the device though, no cases. 16gb for 230. I'm missing the extra sd slot on the SGS3, though.
[Nexus 5 General] Thank Me Later:
I feel you on the memory. I had to delete a few videos to make more space. No music on the phone anymore. I store it all on Google Play Music. I hope we can get a 32GB variant of the next Nexus phone.

I'll probably upgrade. My sister needs a phone so that works out. :)
[Nexus 5 General] catlog:
The LG G2 looks great and is making the next Nexus phone seem very tempting and a huge threat to my money. I originally planned to have this phone until at least the 2014 Nexus phone though so I will try my best to skip the 2013 refresh to save money.
[Nexus 5 General] Tonio78370:
Recently I bought the N4 to replace my HTC One and the N5, if it has a bit bigger screen, might replace my Note 2. By then there'll be only Nexus around the house!

if the nexus 5 really gets a 2300 mah battery, no thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] Ace42:
The 3k mah in the G2 performs amazingly, people are reporting 6hrs min screen on time with it on stock firmware. Sadly I doubt the Nexus 5's battery will be able to compete with 700 less capacity.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Unless they present the best phone ever I'm not gonna change my baby :)
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
How do you know? The N5 will have a smaller screen and much more optimized software in KitKat.

doesnt matter, anything we get for 4.4 will eventually be available for the G2 and then if there running the same software, and the g2 has more battery ? obviously the g2 will last a lot longer.
