[Nexus 5 General] I r o n M a n:
I hardly think that's fair. Just because we are a developing country means we don't deserve products as soon as they launch internationally?

I just hate it when companies don't give India due importance, specially for smartphones. India is a potentially huge market. I bet they earn no less from India than any other European country. So why the delay in launching products here?

Samsung makes sure their products in India are launched as near to the global launch as possible. Even apple is learning. Why can't Google?:mad::mad::mad:

Details of the showroom please.
[Nexus 5 General] gautham_y:
Ah, I see. Thanks for reporting back. Either way, I think by the end of next week we should all have our N5s, I hope.

@Everyone who bought the N5 here in India: Are 32GB black models available? I've seen a post mentioning they might take 2-3 months to arrive, I hope that's not true?
[Nexus 5 General] Shankar9822:
Checked with few LG showrooms and they said that it will be made available within 2-3 days. But he did not make it official.
[Nexus 5 General] rufusj89:
Folks in Chennai can get the phone right now . drop by the saligramam branch. They've received stock of both colors and cboth storage options. Earphones included and apparently no cash back offers.
[Nexus 5 General] annu19:
Finally ah!! Whats the price dude and can you buy all of us few Nexus 5 from that store :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] ajainandroid:
If available , BUY ASAP .

Guys , many post suggest the availability of N5 in many cities , So why not Buy dem and PLEASE POST SOME PICS .:good::highfive:

Now after calling again today morning- LAUNCH date is 25th and stock will come around 25th only :(:(:eek:

[Nexus 5 General] aakashji:

[Nexus 5 General] tanseerj:
Thanks for the info, you sure they have the 32gb version? Cause the other LG showrooms only seem to have the 16gb one.

A contact number would be great! Thanks again!
[Nexus 5 General] Curius7:
I'm from Porur, it'll be really helpful if you say the price of 32GB vresion.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

I called up the saligramam showroom, he has only two pieces of 16 GB version in stock now, and he says 32GB will come only after 2-3 months :(
[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
<off-topic>

Let's just hope the next Nexus will be released here promptly.

Frankly, only the tech-savvy/xda folks buy Nexus here (hopefully this will change soon), the uninformed are buying Samsung (that is why they release a new phone every week lol, something we (xda folks) wouldn't even take a look at, but we are the minority), Sony, Micromax and **** (this is not the case in other 1st world countries).

And tbh, i'm very surprised N5 is available here this early! 2 weeks from launch? Of course not through Play but it's here!

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Headset is confirmed from LG? I hope some more people confirm this.
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Nah headset wont be provided with the phone !
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Have transferred the cash on my friend's sister's account and she has transferred the cash on her credit card. So now my only possibility to buy is from some online store as she says, she can't send the money back or anything. I hope ****ty playstore / ebay/ flipkart starts selling it soon and that too for 28,999 :P

I just got a nexus 5 from a retailer in Chennai. The box has a pair of headphones from LG but don't seem to be that good.
[Nexus 5 General] sumeetsingh1:
I just checked with a retailer in Delhi.. He confirmed that Nexus 5 stock is available but will be selling from tomorrow....

Sad part is... they dont have 32 GB variant available... will tell tomorrow when will it be available...

I want 32 GB.. n cant wait anymore.. :(
[Nexus 5 General] masterkdxp:
Congratz buddy. Some pics please.
[Nexus 5 General] dsjd:
In-ear earphones?
[Nexus 5 General] annu19:
I agree buddy and I'm sure google wont do any racial discrimination for its American fans!!:p
[Nexus 5 General] anirudh412:
Sumeet, hey! Care to tell which retailer? I am debating between the N5 and the Moto X, however I am leaning towards the latter due to its more compact size. I was hoping to have some hands on time with a demo model before I make a choice.

Anyone else from delhi have any idea about a retailer who has the N5 in stock?
[Nexus 5 General] aakashji:
Delhi retailers will be selling N5 by tomorrow or tuesday. Nobody is selling N5 today. SO Chill!
[Nexus 5 General] finisher29:
Just returned from lg showroom in Orion business park. They don't have the stock yet. Also they have just received the price quotation for 16 gb. No idea about 32 gb. Also no idea when will we get the stock.

Also called up Alfa they said they don't have it yet.

So much travel in vain.
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:

[Nexus 5 General] Avidev:
Damn! I tried few LG shopes @ Kolkata by taking number from the websites, guess what all of them were incorrect :( . I can't wait :( . Anyone has an Idea about the retailers @ Kolkata ?
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
I do. Called up a few, all of them said either Wednesday or Thursday release for 16GB and no idea about the 32GB.
[Nexus 5 General] karthikkarri1:
Yes, I've attached some pictures. The phone is definitely a step up form the nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] Harsha Raj:
Lol please don't use flash when taking a pic of phone with screen on top :p

Congrats for early buy btw!
[Nexus 5 General] Avidev:
Well I dont think we will be getting a 32GB so soon. Finger Crossed !

Anyways which store ?
[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
Nothing is working in Mumbai so far.

The Mulund W LG shoppe is willing to take a pre book and confirming delivery on Tuesday

Man this sucks.

I really wanted to get my hands on it today.

BTW, neither ALFA not Poppy Cellular has it :(
[Nexus 5 General] sumeetsingh1:

I'm not planning on buying N5 anytime soon, just happened to stumble upon this thread. ;)

Ciao!

Btw i've contacted Play regarding availability, if i get a reply i'll let you guys know.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Can I request some things if you don't mind bro?

- screen shot of earphones but more clear pic... and do they have LG branding on them or just some local ones? Does they come in the box? or you get them on some different setup?

- Can you take a pic of MRP tag - a clear pic... Though I don't know why i want that lol... may be just curious.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] masterkdxp:
Which store? Share some contact numbers please.
[Nexus 5 General] karthikkarri1:
The earphones have the LG branding on them. They came in the box and the MRP tag states that the box includes earphones.
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
thank for the pics. those are standard lg headset which generally comes with low end lg phones. i hope google play store also provides the headset. can u please tell does it supports 4g/lte in india. also did you take those pics from nexus 5 camera.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Thanks for showing me the pic, :good::cowboy:

2ndly, wow LG is one stupid company, I mean I do respect them for making phones like Nexus series and G2 but , the box saying for more info go to lg.com/in and there's no n5 there :/ what is even happening, I have no idea :|

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

How can he tell that just yet? We don't have 4G here in India.
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
I have been waiting for the Nexus 5 for a while. I skipped the Nexus 4 and stuck to the Galaxy Nexus for a little bit longer.

I want your opinion on the colour preference. The black vs. The white. I have seen some reviews where people have suggested that the its not just a colour difference but also a material difference and the black feels much better to hold. I have the Nexus 7 (2013) and absolutely love the feel of the back.

Any more insights on this?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] vishal8492:
Cool thanks !! Croma , The mobile Store , Reliance Digital are clueless.
[Nexus 5 General] nithin92:
are they selling it now

I live in kodambakkam ... do they have the nexus 5 there and are they selling it there ?? at what cost ?? ... thnx :)
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
called play store, they have no idea as usual.. like they are robots :/

but tbh this is unbelievable... online stores have no idea, who have listed them have listed the shipping days will be 10-15 days.. this sucks.. no idea from play store or flipkart... I have got cash on CC now, so I can't buy from retailers shops, have to go with play store or some online stores dammit!
[Nexus 5 General] siddhantchd:
bro u can just swipe the cc in that store .....
[Nexus 5 General] karthikkarri1:
I think lg.com/in doesn't have any information because the phone isn't officially out yet :laugh:

And isn't 4G/LTE only supported for non GSM phones anyway?
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
indian 4g operator(reliance and airtel) will be using 2300 mhz band so i wanted to know that does lg mention 2300mhz support on the device box or manual.

I am waiting for it to come on indiatimes..Ill use their mid night deal coupon and get it for 27.5k

[Nexus 5 General] abhi06dua@gmail.com:
I called the store manager. He said they only have 16GB version and 32GB will take almost 2 months. Can you please tell whom you spoke to ?

The manager or someone else?
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
I spoke to someone who works for Google India. And he said that there is no confirmed date about the availability or announcement on the play store about the Nexus 5.

Knowing how Google just launched the Nexus 5 unannounced on the play store in US, I think its just that they don't want anyone from within the company to share details even if they know the actual date.
[Nexus 5 General] srt99:
i would choose a black one..it looks classy and professional..

the white one has a glossy finish on the sides..which attracts fingerprints..

the black one has soft rubbery finish on the sides.. so it feels more comfortable..

and it also gives a feeling of unibody..

white nexus5 looks beautiful but black would give a better feeling in hands..

so i would prefer black model..
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
The only think that makes the white stand out for me is the white earpiece on a black front.

But yes the black looks more classy.

Thanks though.
[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
No surprise there.

I initially thought they were going to launch both N7 and N5 together here but if you haven't noticed they've taken down all the info about N7. Everything now redirects to N5, i'm clueless.

And [MENTION=4384983]anurag4444[/MENTION] no it doesn't supports our LTE band. Only iPhone5S and C does as of now.
[Nexus 5 General] sumeetsingh1:
32 GB might not come any time soon...

LG will sell 16 GB only as of now
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
The card is not with me, it's with my friend's sister. And she lives in Noida/Delhi and I am here at HR. And it will be kinda embarrassing for me to ask her to buy me the phone and ship it here, can't ask more favors, she already trusted me with her CC. And if something happens in b/w the shipping, I can't blame anyone. Have to get one from playstore or fk/ebay/snapdeal for 29k.
[Nexus 5 General] sumeetsingh1:
Dude, pls give contact number.. if 32 GB is available
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Actually that's one reason I am not buying the white one... it looks like a bindi (the aunties have on their forehead ;) )
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
Hahahahah! That's quite a description :D
[Nexus 5 General] server3249:
Anyone who bought their phone in India -Have you found any defects?

Does it have any issues similar to what we saw in the US defects thread??

Save for the horrible speaker the phone is pretty awesome!

Got 16GB Black from Mumbai

Guys,

LG Shoppee(Manu Music House) from Chembur East(Sarvodaya Estate) has limited stock. Bought it an hour ago from there at MRP: Rs.29,999. SBI CC avails 5% cash back.

Thanks for all the updates and news. Hope you'll get yours soon! :)

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 General] annu19:

[Nexus 5 General] shree_tejas:

[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
WOW great! Thanks man, I am going to try that one!
[Nexus 5 General] shree_tejas:
OLX pe bhech do :P
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
5% only with SBI or it works with HDFC too? and what is up with 5%?

So my assumptions: Google hasn't got it's stock yet as in play device store it says no headphones comes.. and probably LG is giving India with headphones for 1k more? So... it will take time for play store probably.
[Nexus 5 General] sumeetsingh1:
Its in Indrapuram...

Contact Number: 0120-3144481, 9716111928

But just came to know, they only have 16 Gig Variants.. no 32 Gig...

I just read somewhr that LG will only sell 16 GB as of now.. no clue about 32 GB
[Nexus 5 General] nishthecooldude:
Yes its in NCR...they have limited stock(5-6 peices)...Bought 16gb black just now....:good:
[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
Huh! As it appears the Chembur Store has only white 16 GB variants.

What a shame!
[Nexus 5 General] sumeetsingh1:
:good::good:

I need to wait for 32 GB.. till then stuck with my OLD Samsung Galaxy 3 (one of the first Galaxy by Samsung :( )

Its been 3 yrs.. havent changed my phone.. Damn u Google...
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
5 % discount is only for SBI credit card members ...and yes , headphones are included ..final price 28300

:) ...700 rs less than play store + headphones :)

Most Mumbai retailers are saying that the phone will arrive in 2 days.

Sad part is LG wont exchange my S4/One
[Nexus 5 General] anirudh412:
Damn all of you! You just made me get the N5!

Anyone who would like to play with a demo unit before deciding to buy can go down to the LG Best Shop in NOIDA. Really friendly guys.

To reiterate what has been mentioned before, 5% discount is available only to those who buy using a SBI card. However, pay cash, and the shop guy will give it to you for 29500.

Also, I have spoken with almost all LG Stores and all of them say the same; 32gb isnt out yet and neither have they got any stocks of it. However 16gb stocks are plenty, so its not like you need to rush to your nearest store or anything.
[Nexus 5 General] Bigg Boss:
I have checked with two LG stores both said the 32 GB version will be available in the last week of November.
[Nexus 5 General] athani:
Why would they?

[Nexus 5 General] rohit3221:
Totally agree with you... The so called lootera's even force the customers to not purchase mobiles online... I remember an incident when my friend wanted to purchase a phone and he asked me to go along with him... I told one of the seller that i am getting s duos at xxx price online... And you are selling me at much higher price... Why so much difference...

This was his reply..

"If you purchase a phone online, you'll have to pay much more than they display on their website... They will add service tax, octroi, this tax that tax blah blah....

Secondly you won't have any warranty...

And last but not the least... You'll not get the apps which we will provide you free of cost.... "

The last point caught my attention... I asked what apps do you provide for free??

He replied... YouTube, gmail, Google maps etc....

That was way too much for me... And i just asked my friend to purchase his phone online..... He got it cheaper than retail store... Has the warranty... And the so called free apps....

Thats how they fool the non techie public...
[Nexus 5 General] freak744:
No doubt the shopkeeper you mentioned fooled that poor chap saying 'warranty me problem ho jaayega' :p, but again even I firmly believe if our own country's companies are to grow and establish themselves, we are the ones that need to support them.:highfive: Not to mention they shouldn't even take us for granted, though.:rolleyes: Providing low-priced phones is okay......but quality is what should be the most important agenda on their list.:):good:

And yeah Lg is under-rated and Nexus is completely unknown to most people here :silly:

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I believe Google should market their next nexus in India :D:good:

one guy has posted this pic on the Igyaan website....as Google displayed Nexus 5 on the US playstore, likewise according to that guy same thing happened on India Playstore where google flashed Nexus 5 by mistake with price...This pic can be morphed but if its true, then Nexus 5 will be selling like hot cakes here in India..
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
That's probably fake.. check 1-2 pages back... :D
[Nexus 5 General] mannu_in:
ya checked that after posting this one... :p

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Hmm.. I will wait for LG release, as My N4 is still just 4 months old. :)
[Nexus 5 General] fario78:
Will at the same time all over the world? And the same hour on google play?
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
You don't need VPN, just a Google account associated with a US address.

Create a new Google account and generate a fake US address from here. http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

I have a fake account so I can download apps not available in India. :)

Also I heard that Google is cancelling orders if your shipping address and billing address in CC is not same.

So we might not be able to order Nexus 5 with our own CC.
