Wow.. It looks fantastic and rich. Much better than the U cut Rs. 500 one I had bought. And I see it did fit well also without any bubble. Where can I buy this from? And can you say whether it's strong enough to protect from small fall? Finger print resistant? Clarity?
[Nexus 5 General] sam razzy:
This coupon gives only 100 discount or is it gives more than that?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
They are mixed up. Some give 100 off on 200+ whereas others give 150 off on 250+ :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] amrit94:
The 150 off coupon has reached its limit..WELCOME742 and SHOPEBAY72 are 150 off coupons

Others are working well.

Also you recharge from paytm and during checkout buy 150 off coupon for 10 Rs.

I bought matte screen protector from a random retailer for 200 and i'm fully satisfied with it, well it may not look good but i got used to it :cool: used it on every phone till now
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
Sure, i bought this from http://www.ebay.in/itm/TEMPERED-GLA...Mobile_Accessories&hash=item27e5bcecb1&_uhb=1

The listing has ended now though. :(

It's not finger-print resistant i'd say, actually a finger print magnet, but clarity is awesome.. :good:

For the fall, seems to me that it can handle small falls, though i always have my neo-hybrid over it all the time. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] nextavenger:
Need a quick opinion.

Will you guys recommend picking a N5 without warranty (Imported, Brand new) or the defects are too much and its not worth risking?

Thx
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Imported without warranty? Not for me ;) too risky for such a price mate

If u see the nexus 5 defects thread...there are alot of them..so better would be to restrain from gambling

After playing MC4, I told myself, graphics can't get any better on the mobile platform.. But MC5 is a huge upgrade (graphic wise) from MC4! Never did it lag in my 2 hours of continuous gaming. I guess I have to thank ElementalX for that ;)

Guys, a humble request. Please stop quoting images. Just remove the img link while you're quoting others. It's a pain when browsing through mobile :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] nextavenger:
Yeah hence was wondering. The price difference is too good but no warranty is a deal breaker. I wish N5 didn't have so many defects
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Cost cutting needs to be done while providing top notch specs with subsidized rates. Apparently, quality control is the area which they chose!

That being said, each and every phone is bound to have eMMC problems. Other issues like yellow screen and low sound can be solved using custom kernels and mods. Then again, not everyone is willing to do that.

If I were you, I would buy a nexus 5 from a local retailer and extend the warranty to 2 years if you plan on using the device for long.

[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
actually i read the yellow tint had something to with the glue used for the screen!!!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeah I know some people say thing. But I don't believe It's true. I might be wrong though. First of all the glue isn't used on the whole screen. It's just at the center, so there's no reason for the whole screen to be tinted yellow. What I think is, people just get used to the yellow tint and think it goes off eventually.

Anyways, that's my theory.

Besides that, when I used a custom kernel, the whole screen's white balance shifted (got better). So if it was indeed the glue, how could a custom kernel changed my nexus 5's color? :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] :
I absolutely agree with you about that but for some reason, My screen got better after about a month. I had originally used Faux's app to make the screen look whiter and then one day when I had updated my rom without updating my kernel, the screen looked absolutely perfect. Stopped using faux's app after that and haven't notied any issues since. It was a great day lol
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
Use/update Tapatalk. It'll look a lot better
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
nope, from aliexpress for $3.. :)
[Nexus 5 General] nextavenger:
Thanks for your comment! I usually use my device for about 6-8 months average before I switch. I think I will pick one without local warranty. Anyway my other option is MotoX and the xda community isn't that active for that device plus dual core processor and 720p screen is a con too.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Many times I use chrome to check my quoted posts so that I can revert back.. 3g bandwidth gets wasted each time someone quotes an image :(

If you're on a custom rom, flashing the zip updates the kernel as well. If you're on stock and just flashed the ota zip, it might contain patches to the kernel.. Not sure about this, will have to take a look at the zips one by one lol..

Anyways, as long as you got it sorted out, that's great! Indeed a great day :good:

Don't buy the Moto X if you're into gaming and modding your device. As you said, the pace of development over there is pathetic to say the least as compared to the Nexus 5 (No offense meant to anyone).

Besides that, I've used my friend's Moto X and it lags when you throw a high graphic game at it. It stutters and lags.

However, if you're not into all that stuff, you will surely find Moto X (Stock) better than Nexus 5 (Stock) as it's more feature filled.

I received the Rs.149 Screen Protector today morning and here's what I think of it.

eBay Product Page: www.ebay.in/itm/TEMPERED-GLASS-SHAT...D-PROTECTOR-FOR-LG-NEXUS-5-E980-/251571544772

The package included the Tempered Glass and some kind of flimsy cloth (Not micro fiber). The product page at eBay said it included Alcohol swaps and dust cleaning film which isn't the case. Application was super easy. Switched off my fan and AC so that dust particles settle down. The edges are smooth, which gives a premium feel like all other tempered glass protectors do. There isn't any visible differentiation in screen clarity or brightness after installing the protector. It's 0.26mm thick and fits the screen properly round the edges (at least at the bottom).

However, the spot where there's a indentation on the screen (beside the led), there is a huge bubble over there which refuses to go. I used a clip on it for an hour but it didn't have any effect on it. I guess it's just how it's gonna be. It's a big let down but since it doesn't affect the display, some people might overlook it. (I can't :silly:)

Coming to the top portion of the screen, the cut outs are not that good. In fact, there aren't any cut outs for the mic at all, the protector just covers the main screen and it doesn't cover the top portion (sensors, earpiece and camera) and because of this, every time I try to pull down a notification, my fingers are brushed against the edge of the protector which is somewhat irritating. But at Rs. 149, I didn't expect much.

So, my conclusion is that, for the price that I have paid, I've surely got a decent tempered glass screen protector and I would recommend it to anyone who can ignore the bubble at the bottom and the weird cutouts on the top portion of the screen.

Here are some pics of the packaging, product and my Nexus 5:

Good point. I forgot to mention that in my short review. BTW, the answer is NO. Drop protection would be minimal if the phone lands on it's edges..

[Nexus 5 General] sam razzy:
What was the cost and did you get any discount coupan for Shopclues ?

Edit : there is no such powerbank caller ambrane ... :( I think its been sold out. Can you tell me how long do it takes to recharge the phone with it ?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Here you go: Ambrane PowerBank 8000mAh

White: http://www.snapdeal.com/product/ambrane-power-bank-8000-mah/1015907163

It charges the phone at around 500-600 mAh. Charging speed also depends on other things as well like if you use your device while charging from USB out, then charging speed will be very slow. If the phone is idle, it will take about 2.30-3 hours for a full charge.

Ringke. Fusion is better IMO .

But the only reason i got the spigen was the free screen guard .. Which atleast worths 230 Rs .

And i got the package at 800 from amazon .. So practically the spigen case costs Rs 570 . which means its cheaper than the ringke .

And the fake one almost costs as much as the practical price of the original .. So

Choose wisely..
