**Disclaimer this post is not directed at any particular individual and is made as a general statement in my addressing all the butt hurt out there (on both sides). **

All these arguments about cost of the device versus quality control etc are irrelevant. If you purchase a product you are expecting a device functioning as advertised. For those looking at claims maid by media or sensational claims made by others on forums or in person you are going to be disappointed.

If you say that google is cutting corners, first things first LG is the manufacturer not google. Second, in any first run of any device, Nexus, HTC, SONY, Samsung, Moto, Apple there are ALWAYS going to be defects in teh manufacturing process. Some will recieve phones in perfect working order, others might suffer from getting a device from an unrefined production run that comes with the first production run. If you have a problem with your device then RMA or return it, no one is forcing you to keep the device you were shipped nor are you bound to the phone if you purchased off contract. Purchased on contract? you still have a grace period to return the phone as long as you havent damaged it.

Those complaining of defects with their device however, are rightfully doing so, discussing issues with a device will lead to improvements in teh manufacturing process from which they can RMA the device and recieve one that is to their quality standards.

Complaining about the features of the phone when they are advertised as such on the product page is pointless, no one forced you to purchase the device. Aren't pleased with the MP on a camera, the mAh of the battery, dont buy the device if you already know that it doesnt meet your device requirements.

Camera application is lacking it needs to be fixed no one can argue about that. If you want to complain about the camera application or any other DEFECT by all means go ahead, Voice your concerns, developers and probably google will see this and hopefully work to rectify the issue. should the device have shipped with a poorly functioning camera application no, but in the interim there are substitutions you can use on the Play store market, is this ideal ? No, but its a solution.

Bottom line, if you arent happy with the device return it or look for solutions, if you are happy with the device no reason to get down on those that arent. Nexus and Android center their focus around the idea of "choice". Please take that into account and choose to respond positively/negatively to positive/negative criticisms of the device. No reason to attack anyone else.

My 2cents

again not directed at any individual but is a general statement

Omg same problem in the nexus 4 forums ppl complaining about little things... This is 300$ phone you got more than what you payed for be happy
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
Its a bargain, period.
[Nexus 5 General] error311:
It's definitely a great phone, I completely agree with the OP.

Only thing I was disappointed with this phone at first was the display. After using an Samsung Galaxy Nexus for 2 years the over saturated colors ruined my eyes. After using it for a few days I love the screen and the natural colors, which really come to life viewing pictures or videos.

$350 you can not beat either and I am glad I am no longer a Verizon customer ! lol
[Nexus 5 General] Gillion:
Google has purposefully left expensive hardware choices and expensive materials and construction techniques to the makers like HTC.

They will always make compromise phones as long as quality components (camer sensors and speaker elements) emain expensive.
[Nexus 5 General] n19htmare:
I think the QC on this phone is fine, and is probably inline with any other phone made at any price range. No tech manufacturer has a 100% QC rating, none. Every manufacturer will have some QC returns and I think the NEXUS 5 QC is fine.

Now, on to COMPONENT complaints and dissatisfaction some are displaying. THIS IS NOT A QC ISSUE. It's just the nature of the components used to keep cost down.

Battery: Acceptable at 2300mah.

Camera: Acceptable in most situations.

screen: More than acceptable in most situations. The viewing angle issue.... It just doesn't apply to majority of people IMO. Yeah, it might BE THERE if you look for it, but does it affect your day to day use? how many times have anyone looked at their phone at 178deg angled? A LARGE majority of people will be either looking straight at the device or maybe deviate a few degrees from that, but not enough for it to matter.

Plus the issue seems to be the "glow", which sadly is just a possible characteristic of the IPS panel. it's not a defect, it's just how it is.

From day to day use, to many it's a non issue.

The three main components i mentioned above are non-QC related. They're just cost cutting choices.
[Nexus 5 General] shreddintyres:
I agree with you completely, i was just positing that if there was a QC issue then its a valid concern (dust under screen, dead pixels, broken camera hardware, etc. ) Its also worht mentioning that people are going to be more likely to discuss issues with their phone than the positives. Forums will always misrepresent the level to which certain device issues are present. of course take everything with a grain of salt when you see it online.

I was wondering if Google makes any profit from Nexus 5 phones. Probably not.

I would like Motorola to make next nexus 6 phone:good:
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
It would make sense since Motorola is now a Google company but I think they might stick with lg since it seems the 4 and 5 were a big hit they might be afraid to switch
[Nexus 5 General] .jond:
Agree with the OP.

This phone rules. The processor and ram alone are probably close to $300.

.
[Nexus 5 General] wedouglas:
This is a misconception in my opinion. If I'm not mistaken, Google sells these phones at little to no profit. If that's the case, the phone's component cost is actually quite high and comparable to other high-end phones. Considering the iPhone 5S has an estimated cost to build in the low $200s, there is really no excuse for any shortcomings with respect to price.

The price of the N5 can easily accommodate the specs. Its shortcomings are that of Google and in the case of the camera, just sloppy/lazy work. I'm still trying to get my hand on one, but the Nexus camera software has always been terrible and sadly it sounds like they still haven't fixed it. They have $16B in cash flow, so you'd think they could spare a few million to hire some experienced camera software people or license something. There is really no excuse for poor software.
[Nexus 5 General] aimfire72:
I didn't have the money when it launched on Google Play and then a week later, it was already backordered 4-5 weeks. My wife is having a baby in 5 weeks, so won't have time to mess around then. So I bit the bullet and ordered from Amazon for $450... and even with the $100 mark-up, I still think the phone is worth the money and a bargain!
[Nexus 5 General] TDBearCT:
I think, as always, the people on this forum are the minority. We're mostly tech-savvy individuals, looking for a good product with a level of support and carrier flexibility that the average user does not. We are far more critical as a whole, but know that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the Nexus platform.

If you went out to the general public and said you were paying $400 dollars for a phone, the response would be "Well I can get an iPhone (or Galaxy S4 or LG G2) for $200". Yes, for $200... and a two year contract that locks you into a carrier (and technology) that may be out of date before your obligation is complete.

With the N5 I can switch between AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile (and their MVNOs), shopping for the best (or more cost effective) service. I could save more than the cost of the phone over a year, let alone two.
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
Doubtful. Note 3 has the same processor and 3gb of ram and its build cost is around 240 USD for the whole phone.
[Nexus 5 General] beckmaneric:
Some people wouldn't be happy with a platinum asshole.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
At $349?!? Sold!!! Hope there's no rattle tho.
[Nexus 5 General] Kawaisa:
People keep throwing these $250~ figures out there but don't include R&D costs, marketing costs, and other miscellaneous costs into the equation.

You can't just throw a bunch of materials into a machine and magically have a fully functional phone that's ready for the market.

Google isn't manufacturing anything, LG is. So to simply say that Google isn't profiting is putting it lightly. LG definitely needs to make some dough.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
"Platinum Asshole" = great band name.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
Actually, its about a 450 dollar phone... which is what T-Mobile sells it for. Google subsidizes the phone.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Where do can i get one of these platinum assholes..... just curious. Any idea on resale value?
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Google doesn't subsidize the phone. They sell it at cost. T-Mobile (along with Sprint, Best Buy, and Amazon) is selling it above cost so that they can actually make a profit off of it.
[Nexus 5 General] mrro82:
Depends on the number of times the device has been wiped if you catch my drift. ;)

Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] asbanoglou:
Ofc its a bargain but as some guys mentioned above for some of us this phone doesnt cost 350$.To be precise in my county (Greece) the 16gb model starts @ 460 euro so i have to consider that "bargain" a bit more :)
[Nexus 5 General] fix-this!:
Paid $475 for mine off of craigslist. Yes its more than from google play but it was worth it.
[Nexus 5 General] aimfire72:
So true. For example, the T-Mobile Facebook page is filled with comments from people like that. Most just do not get it, that paying full price for a phone up front is cheaper in the long run and offers more freedom and flexibility.

Exactly. If I don't need the voice minutes and/or will be mostly in my local area, I use my $30/month tmobile sim. If I'm going to be traveling out of town the next month and want the widest coverage available and/or plan on talking a lot, I can use my Go Phone sim. The flexibility of being able to switch carriers and services on a whim - while saving money - is just awesome. :)
[Nexus 5 General] chakra:
been thinking of putting my 32 black on CL for 599... Love the phone, but love 599 also?
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
the nexus brand hasn't been a top tier phone since the nexus 1 and that is even qestionable as the snapdragon chip while it had a high clock speed for the time and fast fpu to make it great at simple benchmarks didn't have much power for graphics and the screen was pentile matrix (rgbg vs rgb) so the 480x800 resolution wasn't really much better than the iphone of the time because the subpixel count was low.

so yeah,,, it's not the super phone every one thinks.. we can debate over the shortcomings, it's not the best at anything (other than speed for now, updates, stability, lack of non google bloat, ect,ect,ect...), but it's not the worst at anything (other than the camera app,,, use a 3rd party app) either.
[Nexus 5 General] Cubfan99:
I would have happily paid more for a better phone. It's good for many of you. Wasn't for me. Surely that's OK?
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
if i had a one i wouldn't pay for a nexus either. great device where it counts.... but i didn't have a one, i have an old infuse which never got all the galaxy s support i hoped for, so my choice was between a pse one and a nexus. i like samsung but the camera having more mp doesn't compensate for the shots you usually take with a phone where lighting and short range performance are very important, so the pse gs4 was not really a good option... well the price difference made me choose nexus.... had i had a lot of money, i'd wait for something that actually has a mems sensor...
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
I can't complain because I'm the one who bought this phone 12 minutes after release. I didn't even bother to read the specs. I just hate Samsung.
[Nexus 5 General] hth_1:
For me I liked my Nexus 7 so I decided to grab the companion device lol.

Its quite unfortunate that the moto g came out when it did, a little earlier and I might have caved and gotten that instead of a N5... Nice play Google
[Nexus 5 General] capathy21:
HTC One had quality control issues such as speaker rattle, flush power buttons with no tactical click and screens that don't sit flat or are crooked.

S4 is made of cheap plastic and had multiple issues of the amoled cracking while in users pockets.

Both over 600 bucks full retail.

Every phone has quality control issues regardless of the cost.

There's no point at all saying something sucks. In your opinion, it sucks but from the point of view of certain person, they can afford and prefer buying using Apple products.

To answer the original question in the thread, Onejay09 is currently working on a CM11 port. Stay tuned !

And you are right with Saying something sucks!!!!!!!

My opinion is different from others
[HTC Sensation XL] Siphoné:
I was answering tho the original poster of that very thread.

And this is because your opinion is different from others that you shoul respect it by not using an objective tone. You do not have to say that it sucks (especially without giving any valid argument), but it is acceptable to say that, you do not appreciate Apple devices and system.
[HTC Sensation XL] JustPlayingHard:
