Got it here in jaipur nexus 5 16 GB variant n I loved this phone better than note 3. 32 GB come in December and headset is also comes in the box.

16 gb available at LG stores in Ahmedabad.. only few pieces came.

For those who got it a few days back, please post pictures of the battery stats. Would really help.

Performance

Pardom me for I am not particularly tech savvy. All I'm looking for is a decent upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus which is as Good as Dead now.

Want I want to learn is that, Apart from the obvious extra Storage in the 32 Gigs version, Is their any other "Performance" related Advantage I would have in that version?

If storage alone is the only difference, I don't think I need to wait for the 32 gigs to hit ther market, Since I frequently keep transfering my mobile data to external disks and 16 gigs doesn't appear that low in Storage space anyway.

I would love to hear the Reasons from Folks who are holding back for the 32 gigs release.
[Nexus 5 General] Funkym0nkey:
There is a battery thread.

Anyway, this is mine over the weekend.

This is finally when I plugged the phone to charger Sunday night after removing the phone from charger on saturday early morning. Had 3 email accounts, Facebook syncing. Whatsapp and hangouts running and online. Google now setup. Location services on. Nothing disabled. Stock rooted ROM.

As it was weekend, it was not usual busy day. But 2 days of standby and 5+ hours of screen use on single charge. Not bad at all. Most time spent on feedly, chrome beta and twitter and emails.

Honestly, I was worried. Less so now. This is after 2 charging cycles. Dont worry if battery drains quickly initially. Dont panic and run for charger. Let it go down to 5% and charge it fully only after that. It will help battery settle down.
[Nexus 5 General] anmolbedi:
You were on WiFi whole time, it can provide good battery time. Can you check the real life scenario with 3g... Its what would be used mostly.

Wifi uses much less battery in comparison to 3g radio.
[Nexus 5 General] Funkym0nkey:
Yes I am aware, but there is still good 6 hours of 3G only use when I was out for a saturday drive and other couple of times when I ventured out of home. That is almost 2 days of graph. The tiny gaps you see in the middle and one little bigger gap in the beginning are not so tiny :P

For me the only time I use 3G is either when my ****ty tikona decided to throw fits, or when I am actually on road. My home, work place everything has wifi.
[Nexus 5 General] Bigg Boss:
Just came back from LG Store in Gurgaon. Pre - Ordered 32 GB. Owner said it will be available by last week of November after confirming from an LG official. He gave me Rs. 1000 discount as I was the first one to Pre - Order a 32 GB :) ..... So I would be getting it for Rs 33000, same as Play store.

He had 16 GB versions available, held the box, could not open it as it was sealed :P. He also informed that LG will officially launch N5 tonight or tomorrow on its website.

On asking about the Play store release he said that Google is struggling with a distribution infrastructure, hence N5 launch through Play store is still pending.

Extremely nice and extremely soft spoken guy, take his contact number from me in case you are in Gurgaon and want to buy the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
Guys I am thinking of buying nexus 5 from local store whenever that will be available.

My question is if i come across any defects then how will i get a replacement device.

And does the warranty covers dead pixels and backlight blead etc.

If i get one of the defects then can i replace the device or not.
[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
Remember you'll have 12.5 gigs and not 16. ;)

That said, i have a 16GB N7 and now i wish i had the 32GB one instead.

I dont have Nexus 5 but I have nexus 7 with 32 GB ..It has no movies,very less songs no pics still I am facing storage issues even having 32 GB , At intial stage u will enjoy but day by day u will feel storage is very less as u wanted to install something like games apps n bla bla ,

Play store apps n games increasing day by day ..developers are in competition for their games to be best which will need storage , In all these 16 GB won't be sufficient & we dont have sdcard support also ,Think about it & thats the only reason I am looking for 32Gb variant .Its up to you but I hate again & again to uninstall or delete something just for storage .

You could buy a micro so card reader for your phone. That's what I've done. Check out meenova you can search for it in the accessories forum it's really small and you can attach it to your key chain.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
People looking for a phone which they'll use for the next 2-3 years I suggest you buy 32gb cause you'll feel your phone does not have enough storage after some time. You can't fill your storage up till the brim since that would also slow your device. I think in a few years 16gb phones will also face the future of 8gb devices which we saw up till few years back.

And one more thing people will be involved in flashing custom roms since this is a nexus device. So even if at a time you have two backups of your roms that would take quite a lot of space.
[Nexus 5 General] Funkym0nkey:
Yup, it is mainly games and audio files and huge backups that is why I went for 32GB. The games are going 1GB+ for a decent 3D game these days. Then there is time when you want to backup stuff using TWRP. Those backup runs huge as well. Better to have 32GB on on SD Card supported phone than having to juggle files down the line.

[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
I have been in touch with this guy on play store support. He managed to evade all my questions regarding availability, pricing, shipping, taxes. And the sentence these guys use to piss the customer is "I would be more than happy to answer". Dude if you are so happy spill the beans, give me the details. Either they don't know anything or are very good at hiding things. :banghead:

P.S. - I am not blaming Google for not releasing it here up till now since they never mentioned a date. But it would be better if they mention a date so that people could sleep peacefully. :p Gn guys.
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
Its ****in unfair... waited months to get announced, google trolled for days. now waiting months for indian release, google trolling for days, everywhere its available, but not in Pune, Now got news its coming in 2 days.. loaned money to get 32 gigs, they are saying it will take weeks. I could have go for Oppo N1, and get it. Grrrr

Hope this waiting worth it.

Guys if you want to order a 16Gig White N5. I guess you can order it from SnapDeal .Its back in Stock!!

No COD available.
[Nexus 5 General] sooorajjj:
nope still shows sold out
[Nexus 5 General] annu19:
Is that Pre-Order again?? The reason I'm asking is because those fools have taken my money a week back and now the delivery period is being said is 26th Nov, this wait period is seriously horrible. I wish I could buy it from the nearby LG showrooms but just cant do that because Snapdeal said they'll not return me my 1000Rs of pre-booking and would return only the 28K :crying: . Anyways I'm happy that you all are buying it from your nearby places and that too with LG India Warranty!! :highfive: Congratulations to all the proud N5 owners!!
[Nexus 5 General] Avidev:
Well as per the listing "Dispatched in 2 business days" . I am not sure how correct the information is but seems legit. Well I wanted to buy a black one but couldn't get information from any store in Kolkata :(
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
I hope Google or someone just gives out a credible release date. This wait and confusion is getting painful.

I have been waiting for the Nexus 5 for a long time, especially since I didn't upgrade to the Nexus 4!

Keeping fingers crossed that the Play Store starts taking orders in a couple of days and that the delivery timeline isn't ridiculously long.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
I must say that after seeing so much excitement of members in this thread abt N5 I remember the days of N4, same excitement & painful wait & same confusion.. So many new members are here.. Good.

To all who are eagerly waiting, just wanted to say, Patience is the virtue....
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
I was out of the Nexus 4 frenzy. But yes, patience is proving to be a virtue.
[Nexus 5 General] ethsin85:
Re: Snapdeal

I would suggest not falling for Snapdeal & other online retailers Pre-orders. You might end up paying a lot more than the actual cost and still be delivered late.

If the Pre-orders cost a 1,000 bucks, it would make the Deal 2,000 bucks more than the price quoted on the Play Store & as it appears, If the Delivery is postponed to the last week of this month, It simply sounds like a gross Trap.

Anyday better to either patiently hold out for the Play Store release or get one from the LG Brand stores.
[Nexus 5 General] annu19:
Finally guys, gave the SnapDeal guys full left and right and got all my money back (Including the 1K of prebooking which they said before that its not refundable):laugh: . Now I'm a free bird can buy it from wherever and whosoever I want.:highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Yeah I know it but mind sharing from where you bought? I have tried searching in our indian stores but couldn't find it,I was looking for it in indian stores btw android uses internal memory so sd card will be only come handy for data like music,movies.

You can buy it directly from their website meenova. com it costs 12 USA + 3 USD for shipping worldwide. I just got my shipping confirmation email. But in order to use it you will either have to buy the nexus media importer app or root your phone and get stickmount app by chainfire. You can also use the reader in recovery and make your phone backups directly to the sd card. Read through the accessories forum and search for it. That's where I read all this.

I want updates now.

I have an lg optimus 3d max.

It was launched as a flagship phone over 33000.

Now its available for 22000 and **** its running on gingerbread

Wow i spent 27000 for a outdated dual core phone just to have 3D.

Sent from my LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX running on BEST ICS THUNDERSNAP V2.3 ( Donate Version ) with NO ISSUES and STABLE ICS and CAMERA FIXED.
[Nexus 5 General] El Che:
check the g2 thread for correct prices. i myself bought 32gb for 38.5k and a day afterwards it was avail for 37k online. While the 16gb was available for as low as 33k on some sites with coupons.

I wonder what ground breaking technology 4.4 has over 4.3 and 4.2 that justifies purchase of a inferior phone ? g2 will eventually have whatever software n5 has and even the next generation one because of its superior hardware which the n5 wont be able to.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Well well well, N5 will have all the latest release of android[period] but G2 will not.. for sure,

N4 & galaxy nexus also are on 4.3 but sol called Optimus G is still not... So same thing will happen to G2.

Nexus is a nexus after all. :cowboy:

LG suck at updates. LG optimus G is a prime example of this, still not upgraded to 4.2.2.. !! G2 is having 4.2.2 but will wait a very long time for 4.3 & then 4.4.. by then we nexus ppl will be on 5.0.... :p

lol, who is gonna fall for that trap.. :D
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Well, it's really hard for some to understand the concept. It's about optimizing software for a hardware. Google does that for Nexus devices but phone manufacturers don't give a sh*t about it. Their whole moto is to release a higher specs phone as fast as they can with stuffed bloatwares. That's why their UI lags a lot. Nexus is all about user experience and timely updates. Buying a Nexus will make sure we will get all software updates on timely fashion for couple of years. Few companies are providing some software updates but LG is not one of them. LG is never good with Android updates.

Sure, there might not be any major changes in 4.4 from 4.3 or from 4.2 but they each contains lots of security fixes, improved software and smoother UI.

On top of that, Nexus may be a little inferior with some of the flagship devices but it's half the price.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

Some might.

ebay.com (US) also have Nexus 5 pre-order listings. And some of them are selling pretty well.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
They are only taking pr orders. They don't even have the device with them as no buddy has it. :p
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Yes. Already read it on phandroid.

http://phandroid.com/2013/10/22/psa-careful-with-those-nexus-5-pre-orders-popping-up-on-ebay/

In description, the seller is saying, he will try to pre-order on behalf of you on Nexus 5 release. And ship it to you (worldwide) as soon as he get it.
[Nexus 5 General] El Che:
LG has turned over a new page with the G2, also the stock rom is surprisingly quite good without any lag and offers loads of customizations out of the box. Plus there's always xda to upgrade roms (4.3 already out for G2 :good:). Why not buy the nexus 4 and wait for google to update it to kitkat if software is the priority :silly:

just for 3k difference there is no sense to buy an inferior n5 and get no warranty either.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
I already own a N4 :p
[Nexus 5 General] chaitanya87:
I have to say G2 is an impressive phone. Not everyone will come to xda and upgrade their phones. Only some of them will as much as 20%. But with nexus you will get the best deal with the money. You can't compare a nexus with any android phone. Nexus is The God to all others.
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Why are you keep comparing one phone's official (or must I say rumored) price with other phones's unofficial price.

Sure, may be you can get G2 at 33k (unofficial price) but you can also buy brand new Nexus 4 for 20k on ebay. And as far as we know, Nexus 5 will going to be cost same as Nexus 4. So the difference is not 3k but 10-13k.

So what you are suggesting is, we should pay 10-13k more for a slightly better specs and give up os updates forever. Also, LG is offering warranty for Nexus in India.

LG G2 is great device and there is no doubt in that but people who buy Nexus do not go after specs only.
