We're super excited for the Red Nexus 5! It looks amazing!

Here is a sick match up with Slickwraps Black Carbon Fiber

Slickwraps
[Nexus 5 General] mrfeuss:
With the black buttons and the carbon fiber wrap (presumably) covering the sides, all you end up with is a red logo and the red speaker grille...
[Nexus 5 General] slickwraps:
Correct. The front red bezel will show as well.

[Nexus 5 General] mariuck:
If u get the red nexus, can u guys post if they did new rev ? :D I am so curious :P
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
Hoping the red version is also the hardware revision version as now up on the UK store.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Seriously don't think a color change warrants a hardware revision.
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
Liking that combination.
[Nexus 5 General] SynchroDrive:
Yeah, I just ordered the Nexus 5 in red. I feel so...awesome now.
[Nexus 5 General] willybarca:
no one knows what material have been used since no one have it, i just ordered mine lets hope its not like the white one, i hate it too
[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
Yeah interested in this too. Be good to know if there are any differences (better or worse) with the usual suspect niggles some people have been talking about
[Nexus 5 General] tylerjames09:
Me too
[Nexus 5 General] morreale:
just received mine. it is hw rev_11 with a s/n of 401 (January 2014)

it is a very bright red. like dayglo
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
What did you expect lol? it's just a color change, but it sure looks good though.
[Nexus 5 General] jdubya45:
Shipped Yet?

Has anyone else's shipped yet? I ordered at 1pm yesterday with two day shipping and still nothing. Anyone??
[Nexus 5 General] scouser_75:
The BIGGEST question that must be asked is... does the power button rattle on touch? :o

And WOAH! That is proper bright :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] morreale:
I have a black, white and now a red one and the button is pretty much the same on all three. all 32gb. the black is rev_11 and the white is rev_10 (ordered at same time - dec 11.)
[Nexus 5 General] 2fastkuztoms:
How does the sides looks compared to the other colors. Does it looks matte or glossy?? I really like how it looks.
[Nexus 5 General] jdubya45:
Is the outer casing like the black rubbery finish or like the white?
[Nexus 5 General] morreale:
i also ordered at 1pm and used next day shipping

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

the whole thing is the same color - matte

it is a slick finish more like the white

damn this 5 minute post restriction!

Just ordered mine with 1 day shipping. Think I will get it Friday.
[Nexus 5 General] morreale:
yeah i was wrong. for some reason i was thinking it was rev_10 but i just checked. all three of mine are rev_11 (white, black & red)
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
Thank you! That video really gave me an idea of how the phone looks, it does look like the red (orange) bumper , I think the back looks like the white version (slick) but the sides are the same color and finish as the back ... unlike the awful black glossy sides on the white version, this the way the panda version should have looked like :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
You're welcome. I think the Red is a little too bright. If they were to tone it down a bit and the "Nexus" logo were black I'd jump all over it.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I wouldn't buy it myself , but it's nice to see Google experimenting with color , it would be awesome if they release the phone in the same colors as the bumpers and a cyan one and a green one .... :D
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
Pardon my ignorance on this but where does it tell you the hardware version?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] DreamcastDC:
How's the screen? Is the yellowish tint gone?

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

How is the screen? Does it have a yellowish screen like most of the 312k build.
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
the color reproduction was not accurate in the youtube video.. looks good.. feels like a girly phone though :P

i love my black :D
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
Puzzled how can it feel like a girly phone, if it's because of the colour does that make a Ferrari a girly car?
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
Ferrari red is different than this florescent bright red.. generally as i see, girls carry flashy color phones.. no harm in buying by a boy :P
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
The red on looks the same in the photos as the red Lumia phones from Nokia.
[Nexus 5 General] huyawns:
The red on the Nexus 5 is probably better described with the words "neon, bright red", to the extent that it brings out a bit of orange. I have one of my own, and all I gotta say is. It's. Really. Really. Bright.
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
I suppose I've kind of got used to bright coloured phones having had a yellow Lumia 920 for over a year now.:)
[Nexus 5 General] Play3r0:
So we have an orange or a super bright red Nexus 5?

I'm not sure ah :p
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
I love it.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
Just ordered one for my wife. She already has a Nexus 5, but I'm sure she will love a red one. Great gift for valentines days. I'll be selling her old one.
[Nexus 5 General] Roflwafflez:
I slightly hate UPS at the moment lol... Overnight shipping was a go, but the package got left at the facility, so no next day delivery for me :(.
[Nexus 5 General] kirdroid:
Ordered yesterday at 6.30, shipped at 10 pm and already have my red Nexus in hand. Great job Google in delivering within 24 hrs :)
[Nexus 5 General] chris6278:
Im sorry but i think the red is ugly as hell, now a blue one would be pretty cool. Just not a fan of red
[Nexus 5 General] Riimez:
Just received mine in Melbourne after ordering wednesday night. Too bright for me! Going to look around for a black one to swap with...

Anyone found a good wallpaper to contract the black/red?
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
It looks like it gives off a neon glow to it. I would die for a Patriots blue.
[Nexus 5 General] AndroidInsanity:
Have a nexus 4 ATM. I can either keep it and get a nexus 7 or sell it and just have a nexus 5. Soo hard what to do :/ if I do get a nexus 5 it will deffo be the red one!
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
There's only one revision and you can confirm it yourself in the boot loader. Let's stay on topic though, that red is glowing!

How does it look at night without much light reflecting? Getting rid of the glossy sides is a plus.
[Nexus 5 General] tbgreen89:
I'll trade you!!
[Nexus 5 General] entropism:
So is the red soft touch like the black or the same material as the white? Sorry if this was answered earlier, couldn't find it.
[Nexus 5 General] EnIXmA:
Black from what I have heard
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
According to the guy in this video it is the same material as the white one. Also he notes that it does not have the LARGER speaker holes that some users claim is a hardware revision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMcwUfGDE-s&feature=youtube_gdata_player

We need to compare the new Nexus 5 Red with something that we know. For example, can of Coke. If someone can show the Nexus 5 red next to a can of Coke, we can appreciate the diference between red and orange hahah :p

Any volunteer?
[Nexus 5 General] ddubz:
Comparison pic of red Nexus 5.

Here it is next to a bag of nacho cheese dorito's. Its more orange to me and it has a soft back to me but i dont know if its the same as white or black one as i have not seen either of those in person. Its not very glossy so i would say it is like the black not the white
[Nexus 5 General] Roflwafflez:
Was pleasantly surprised to find my package in the mail when I got home, even though the delayed delivery date wasn't scheduled until Monday :o. I have to say, this phone is really nice. Agree with a lot of people here that the red/orange is extremely bright, neon even. If it ever does wear on me, I have a black titanium skin coming in the mail to tone it down a bit. Overall though, extremely impressed with this phone for the price. Now gotta wait and see how the battery life turns out for mine in stock form.

Everyone is saying it's the same as the white though it also wraps around the sides. No true soft touch.
[Nexus 5 General] Schempy:
The red is more orange nexus
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
Has anyone been put off keeping it by the colour being brighter more neon than in the pictures?
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
I haven't seen the "Red" version in person but this YouTube video is enough to make me happy I don't own it. The color is just too bright for my liking. No offense to those who own the Red version.

And of course the day I go to buy one, sold out.
[Nexus 5 General] mihirdshah1:
Is the red ever going to return to stock? I'm afraid it could be a limited edition. Sucks coz i was really really hoping to buy one!
[Nexus 5 General] scoot0073:
I was really wanting the Red Nexus also but out of stock so I went ahead and ordered the white Nexus. I was very tempted to order the Red Nexus on Ebay for $475 but I couldn't justify paying that extra jus for the color. I'm going to Straight Talk soon as it gets here.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Still available in the UK - 16 and 32GB
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
Anyone think it would be more accurate for Google to call it the orange Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] mihirdshah1:
I contacted Google and they themselves don't know when it will come back to stock. Sigh :(

Finally gave in and ordered a 32gb Black! Estimated ship date is 3/7 and I can always cancel before it ships just in case the Red comes back to stock :D
[Nexus 5 General] SinisterSHO:
When I woke up at like 530 and randomly looked, the 16gb showed in stock. When I went back like 2 hours later, out of stock. They must have found a couple in the warehouse.
[Nexus 5 General] mihirdshah1:
Yeah I am going to keep checking everyday. Also waiting for the S5 to be announced later this month and then decide what to do with today's order.
[Nexus 5 General] eak1080:
Just want to say, Just picked up the red nexus 5 today after i sold my GS4.

It is the best phone I have ever used. And the bright red color is pretty cool once your eyes adjust. It definitely makes people notice your phone/conversation piece.

No regrets as I can finally run a working cm11 rom.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
If you want the phone just order it and it will ship sooner than you think. If you wait until it says in stock you're putting yourself at the back of the line.

There are many examples of the website listing weeks of wait time and people getting their tracking info the next day.
[Nexus 5 General] Riimez:
This vid shows it inside and outside, it is a very bright phone, but I wouldnt really call it orange.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hurleyint2000:
I am using an s4 charger, and the phone won't charge past 15% since the OTA 4.3. What is the best option to keep my data? I have seen all the downgrade procedures but they involve wiping. Any hints on what processes are causing this drain? Just to catch you all up, I am a veteran root/phone user, no need to ask if NFC or other BS is on, just uncommon apps or processes that are new to the 4.3. Is anyone in the know about when ATT with fix this atrocity of a ROM? And with the KNOX BL is there a way to flash back to 4.1.2 BL and then get onto a custom ROM? I got away without touching this phone ROM wise until this minute, I can't even charge it via USB...

Update: After charging the phone while turned "off" the charge says 50% (eyeballing). It would appear the battery indicator or charging script is defunct...add that to the bug list.

Has anyone called AT&T to see if they are offering a compensation to those of us who heard the update was bad in NOV, but OK now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] qkster:
If you check the battery use on 4.3 and see "media server" as the prime user of the battery, google this problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hurleyint2000:
Will do, after 24 hours of use the "Android System" and "Wireless Standby" were the top 2...the system part is vague...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] qkster:
I can only say from my experience.

I saw huge drain on 4.3. I had to disable many sammy and att apps. Then disable g+ and g-play. boot into stock recovery 3e. wipe cache

and rebooted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hurleyint2000:
I'll give that a shot when I get home with my regular charger. I literally was stuck at 15% with the phone on and plugged into an S4 charger (1 amp vs 2.2a)
[Hardware Hacking General] NiTrOwow:
I was so tired of this **** battery, i took the time meanwhile to do my modification that i had in my mind for so long..

Original battery was about the same in size and capacity as a BL-C4(nokia 6310 battery).

Now it has a HTC One X (3.7VDC 1800mAh 6.66Whr) battery in it.

Here is it:

Lets dent it a bit so it fits (carefully of course)

Works perfectly fits like if its the oem battery

Nice :good:

HOWEVER, i do not recommend you to do the same. As its not so good for a lipo battery to be dent as much as i did, and im not sure if this will be safe. So keep in mind if you do the same, its your own responsibility.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorC:
Hi everyone!

I've been thinking of getting a white Nexus 5 (i really like the black-white contrast, and even the white touch for the ear piece). On thing I dread, though, is discoloration on the white back side or turning yellow or getting dirty or ... etc, etc...

I know there have been some rumors that the white back of the N5 is prone to discoloration, prominent marks from wear-and-tear, yellow-ish spots and so on..

Since the N5 has been launched for some time now, can anyone with a white model share his/hers experience? Did you suffer from discoloration or marks on the white backside over time?

Note: I did search the forum for such a topic and I know there is one that discusses the differences between black and white versions. I just wanted a new thread that is focused on the way the white N5 survives the test of time and wear-and-tear.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukas_s:
Mine is just as pretty and white as when I received it on Nov 5. No staining or anything like that at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Just as white since launch. I put it in a case for obvious reasons and it's flawless. I rather pay for a new case than a new phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radixtrator:
I can confirm that. looks like day one
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I'll go ahead and back up what these fine people have said. There's no discoloration at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorC:
What about scuffs from wear and tear? How easy does is gather scratches (from laying down on a table etc)?

What about the black shiny sides? Do they gather scratches and dings?

Thanks all for your answers so far!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
It all depends on how a user treats the device bro, some are more cautious then others.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
My white one started to get some discolouration, especially around the corners (I used it without a case, but kept a pant pocket exclusively for it). Beware of blue jeans that fade, it does rub off onto the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skusa93:
I've heard of people complaining about scratches around the black edge but mine doesn't have a single mark on it anywhere and I've never had it in a case (bought late December)

I throw it in my jeans pocket or suit jacket, never had a case on it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorC:
Thanks for your input, [MENTION=2432381]daisun[/MENTION]! I'm sorry to hear that! :( Could it be possible to post one or two photos with the discolored or affected areas of the phone?

The jeans thing sucks. I had a white One X and, fortunately, I didn't have any such problems with it ...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
The pair of jeans I was wearing were brand new and hadn't been washed ever, so it was at its peak 'phone staining' state. The discolouration is very very slight and you probably couldn't tell in real life due to shadows and lighting. It also doesn't show in photos because the whitebalance of the camera will simple disguise it.

I've since sold the white phone in case it discoloured anymore and bought a black one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Put a case on it. Mine looks like the day I received it.

I have an XDA Exec which was dropped from a height of approximately 80cm.

It fell on my foot, then a Tiled Floor, which would normally be fine for any other device, however the battery fell out and the Phone no longer turns on.....

The Fall was really, really, really low impact....

sorry to hear that, Ive heard its a bit sensitive.

I agree with the above post, pull it apart and get an idea wats going on. just make sure you put those lil red stickers back untouched for warrenty's sake, oh and dont tell the repair centre u dropped it, just say it stopped working.

:P good luck
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
Hi,

I dropped mine from a similar height onto a relatively thick caprpet, and do you know what? The red locking device that holds the battery in place ACTUALLY SNAPPED OFF. i.e. incorrectly designed, the battery is too heavy for the plastic - go figure that things do not work on your device for a similar drop.

I find it so incredibly piss poor that such an expensive (and friggin HEAVY) device is SOOOO fragile!

(Also can't belive how pathetically crap the camera is, but that's another matter).

Andy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] daven:
I disagree, i think the camera is good, compared to most other 1.3mp phones
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
OK - however, you'd expect that a top of the range 'phone' such as the Xda would use a suitably outsanding camera module. It does not, rather it uses a bog standard one as used by most other 1.3mp cameras - why would this one be 'better' when compared to 'most others'?

I think I must be doing something wrong!

Andy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] daven:
i see your point, maybe the camera looks better because of the xda's lovely screen
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
...or because you've just spent £600 and you want it to be good.... :wink:
