So where exactly is the Nexus 3G

Was rumoured to be release within 6 weeks of Early September... which is next week (or so).

Don't be so impatient young padawan!
Everything comes to he who waits.

I honestly don't know why people want a 3G Nexus 7.
It'll most likely be connected to a carrier and I don't get why people want to keep doing that to themselves.

I think they should make one, but off-contract only because it is cheap as it is.

Nice find, shame we can't read the FCC number maybe someone who reads Pinyin ?
That would give the specs.

Well if it doesn't get released before the ipad mini event next week then it will be competing against the tablet market leader who may well have very competitive pricing.
Come on asus / google... don't miss the boat !

I'm hoping for a release before x-mas, but I don't think it will matter that much who releases first. Apple has a strong customer base, and they'll buy the iPad Mini no matter what. I don't think the N7 really is competing against Apple, it's more against the likes of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 and 7.7 and other similar devices. The Apple products are in a different league.

Apple products are in a different market and in a gated ecosystem.
Apple products are in a different league only in the sense that the hardware is overpriced by 30% and bought by stupid people who think they are clever.

It seems there may be two versions released next week (rumor), one 32 GB WiFi only @ $249 and a 32 GB 3G @ an unknown price...my guess would be $299
So to sum it up:
16GB WiFi @ $199
32 GB WiFi @ $249
32 GB 3G @ $299
I'm just guessing....

Again don't assume that commercial practices are the same everywhere. These strong contracts with carriers for 3G/4G are mainly USA & UK things. I live in Asia and most people only use prepaid short contracts, a week, or a month. If the result is not good or another carrier now propose a better price we just shift to this new carrier. Simple & easy

The Nexus 7 32GB WiFi only model is confirmed at £199.00 in the UK
I'm guessing a 32GB 3G version will be £250.00 to £279.00 tops.
Any more than that and people will be put off.

Anything below £280 will be ok...the Galaxy 7 is the only competion in that pricerange and the screen resolution is too low on that device, so if the N7 can match that price they'll come out on top. The Galaxy 7.7 is the next in line, but it cost almost twice as much for some reason...

Most teardown BOMs put the comms chip anywhere between $5 and $13 so under £250 is doable for a 3G N7

This is where and when they'll announce the 3G N7

The Nexus 4 has been selling quite well (at least in Germany)

Just wanted to say im actually surprised i see at least 1 person each day on the subway using the nexus 4, sometimes even 3! out of curiosity i checked saturn's and mediamarkt (two of Germany's biggest stores) and the nexus 4 is on the top sellers on both of them! not bad , huh? with pretty much no advertising at all! guess the defining factor is the great price :laugh:

That's what I observed aswell (Frankfurt, Germany).
Recently in the queue of KFC there was a guy with a Nexus 4 who actually paid with Google Wallet. I did so, too.
5 of 20 people in my informatics course do own a Nexus 4, 2 have GNexes.
But I think Google has to get better away from this "Dev-only" Image.

The US consumers are generally more resist to changes, relatively more easily to commercial bombardment.
Plus most of them are deep into Apple's ecosystem thus even more difficult to switch to Android.
Thus you see more people using phones that has the most commercial coverage: Apple and Samsung.

There are about 6 people out of 120 in my school year (year 11 = 15/16 years old) who have N4s with a further 2 planning on getting one. By contrast only 2 people have iPhone 5s and surprisingly I think only 2 have GS3s. That's not half bad seeing as I'm in the UK where people are similarly prone to advertising as they are in the US. I see loads of GS3s around outside of school though, and have yet to see anyone using a N4.

i bought mine through the german play store, didnt want to wait until saturn and media markt get them
although ive never seen anyone else having this phone, probably because its only available in hungary for like 2 weeks, and its more expensive than in the play store. shame that google doesnt make the play store available europe-wide, it could be a huge hit.
lets see what the nexus 5 will achieve.

Nexus isn't available here in Ireland so its no surprise that I am the only person that my friends know who has one. I do not regret getting some favours called on to get the phone ordered and speed to me from UK.
But Google should really open the market for their phones in Europe. I want to buy the next nexus phone I get via play store. If may not be the nexus 5 that I get but whichever it is, I want to be able to get it from my own Google account.
The only real reason I can see that it is not available in Ireland is because the play store is not fully available here (is just apps, no music or video). Or at least that is the theory. And if that's correct, I know that is because some old people in offices connected to CD sales can't envisage a world of digital sales (or Apple has some sort of hold there).
Another theory is that nexus phones bypass mobile networks, making it harder for them to screw people into 18month contacts, so they resist the existence of the nexus.
But they can't hold back the shift in demographics forever. Especially now that some CD chain stores cannot stay in business here like they used to.
Also, less people (at least people I know) are willing to be tied on phone network bills now since there has been "problems" with excess charges and double billing highlighted (mostly highlighted due to social media)... And they are more aware that the cost in the long run for a free smartphone negates the freeness.
Didn't mean to go off on a rant there!
Anyway... I wish the nexus 4 was more common here!

Hoping it is for the new Nexus. Kinda killed my resale value though.

I'm really tempted by this deal. I mean, it's the same price I got the original 32GB Nexus 7 for, and the phone is great overall. But, I kind of want to wait for the Nexus 5 just because it may offer better specs. It's just so hard to pass this deal up because it's being sold at such an amazing price.

Are you happy with your current phone? If so, wait for the Nexus 4 (2013).
(Side note: Why does everyone insist on calling the next Nexus phone the Nexus 5? The number refers to the screen size, not the iteration; observe "Nexus 7 (2013)" instead of "Nexus 8", and with Google having stuck to the same phone screen size for 2 generations straight and then reaffirmed their affinity for this screen size with the Moto X, I'm pretty sure that the next Nexus won't be 5", and it won't be called the Nexus 5.)
Even if you decide at that point that you'd still want a N4 instead of a N4-2013, the market at that point will be flooded by people selling their N4s as they upgrade to N4-2013s.

I'm actually really sad about this. I was in the works for trading my phone for a note 2 to try the screen size. The other party just gave me the finger I hope this means a new nexus will debut soon I've had this phone the longest of all my phones 9 month and now I'm starting to get that new smartphone itch.

[UK] Nexus 5 General UK Chat

Thought i'd start a thread for UK chat regarding orders pricing etc as we had for the Nexus 4 before.
So who has a good idea on pricing? If it's under £250 for 16gb i'll be tempted. Any closer to the £300 mark and i'll probably go with the MI3. I'm currently using a THL W200 i'm a phone addict

Well when the Nexus 4 launched it was $299 in the US and £239 in the UK, and the price leaks for the 16GB Nexus 5 have been $299 so if we were to believe these leaks then the UK price will again be £239.

I think the 16gb would be either £239 or £249 and the 32gb £299. Reasonable price to be fair. Xiaomi Mi3 only will have MIUI support no other custom ROM just like the previous Xiaomi.

I'll be upgrading from my nexus 4, if rumours of a larger battery for the 32gb then I'll go for that if not 16gb is more than enough for me with all the cloud storage etc available.
Come on Google, just release it already damn you!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I will be ordering mine as soon as i can, i have £350 just waiting for it to go on sale. Cannot wait as been waiting months already for it, as for the prices I reckon we could be looking at £280 for 16gb and £320 for 32gb

My family lives in London, I bought my Nexus 4 from Carphone warehouse ( They did for me and sent it to me later on ), it was for sure more expensive than it was on Googleplay, any UK resident can tip me how do I have to buy the Nexus 5 this time for a cheap-google price? I should only go with Googleplay ?

Unless it's already sold out, you're buying it subsidised with a contract, or you're impatient enough that you can't wait a day or two for shipping, I can't think of any reason not to buy it directly from Google.

Just checking in, Will probably be getting the 32GB if I can.
Does anybody know if the Nexus4 Launched at midnight UK for the UK or did it launch at Midnight USA in all areas.

i've had my n4 since launch and hoping for these from the n5
improved camera esp in low light
better battery life

if it is the same googleplay setup with subsidized pricing then that is the ONLY place to get it without others adding on their £££

Despite my Nexus 4 still going strong, one of the major reasons I'm going to upgrade is proper 4G LTE support. 4G services for the rest of the networks have started going live. Being on the Three network on The One Plan lets me take advantage of it as soon as it is available. But of course I need a phone that supports LTE, and thus my upgrade.

Hmm still not a peep of it yet...I'll keep checking back all morning not sure why as if I get it I can't afford it til Friday at all.

In my opinion, no. And for the following reasons:
The only worthy (to me) improvements will be a larger 4.95" 1080p screen and slightly smaller phone dimensions. Things like purported camera improvements and faster processor are not important to me cause I wont notice the difference. I am also not ready to pay LTE prices as I only ever use mobile data when I am commuting so the inclusion of LTE doesnt matter. Finally the N4 is such a beautiful phone and the N5 has nothing on it in the looks department.
If you currently use a GNex then it would be a worthy upgrade, if you have an N4, less so.

I'll be getting it as soon as it's pre-orderable (if that's a word).
My Galaxy S3 is on it's last legs and would like to turn it into a dash cam after getting a new phone.
Currently hoping that they announce a Nexus 10 2013 as well because I can't justify getting a Nexus 5 and a 7 since they're so closely related...a new 10 inch tab would be lovely though. I dropped my Prime and it shattered into a thousand pieces so this month will be an expensive one.

I am wondering if they're going to do a staggered release like they did with the 2013 Nexus 7. I think it did prevent a lot of ordering havoc but we had to wait an extra month after the initial release in the USA which sucked.

I'm already to go for this as well... but that being said, not having a firm release date is a pain..

Hi,
I'll probably upgrade just because it has LTE and 32GB .... I always had 32gb phones with the exception of my current Nexus 4 and i'm already struggling with space... The only thing that bothers me is the size... i already had a 5" phone and it was very unconfortable to use the phone with only one hand....
I think the size of the Nexus 4 is perfect for me

yes, I am sure it won't go as high as G2, since the G2 price is on 6.5M I am sure the N5 will be in 5-6M range if not the same price as N4 when first released here back in january.
Not sure which version will be released here tho, but let's hope it will be the 32GB version.

well let's hope it stays that way to get buyers attention.. a phone with Snapdragon 800 for under $600 is considered a steal even in indonesian standard..
heck, even my LG G2 (which is basically a N5 with a bigger battery, an IR Port, and 13 megapixel camera) is about $100 cheaper than the Z1.. and a whole $200 cheaper than the Note 3..

The "luxury item tax" sucks in this country. (pajak barang mewah in Indonesian)
If LG decides to bring it here, I think it'll be priced at IDR 5,499,000 and IDR 5,999,000 for the 16GB / 32GB variant respectively. Not sure when, but since there's this Indocomtech event going on right now and they are advertising the G2 a lot, I think we'll have to wait until the craze about G2 dies down before they bring it to Indonesia. I mean why would they bring a cheaper phone when they have G2 right?
I have a credit card but I'm not sure how I feel about ordering online via Play Store / Amazon / eBay. If there's a holdup at the airport that would suck. I may even have to end up paying more money just to get that phone "released" from the custody of stupidly retarded corrupted people.
I have a few friends in the US that travels back and forth though, so I'm actually thinking of asking them to get one for me.
Anyone knows if the it can be used in Indonesia though? I'm kind of afraid there's a difference in network bands.
Anyway, with all that said, maybe we can all try to rush LG by perhaps, mentioning the existance of Nexus 5 via Twitter (@lgmobileid) or their Facebook fan page
Perhaps if they see there are dozens of people wanting this phone badly they'll speed up the release.
Oh well, here I am hoping and crossing my fingers as each day goes by :fingers-crossed:

I have a credit card but I'm not sure how I feel about ordering online via Play Store / Amazon / eBay. If there's a holdup at the airport that would suck. I may even have to end up paying more money just to get that phone "released" from the custody of stupidly retarded corrupted people.
I have a few friends in the US that travels back and forth though, so I'm actually thinking of asking them to get one for me.
Anyone knows if the it can be used in Indonesia though? I'm kind of afraid there's a difference in network bands.
Anyway, with all that said, maybe we can all try to rush LG by perhaps, mentioning the existance of Nexus 5 via Twitter (@lgmobileid) or their Facebook fan page
Perhaps if they see there are dozens of people wanting this phone badly they'll speed up the release.
Oh well, here I am hoping and crossing my fingers as each day goes by :fingers-crossed:

I am good as long as the price is not cross 6M mark.
No it's not luxury item tax, it still under consideration by government, not yet become a policy. and the pricing in non-play store country is almost the same because it sells by LG and warranty is goes to LG not Google.
I am not sure but G2 has better camera and more mainstream device here, who cares about Nexus here lol
I am not yet seeing any person using N4 here btw in Jogja.
I am pretty sure it is usable here, it's all the same except the cdma variant and LTE bands which is still not available yet here.
It's like nexus 4 case, a lot of people including me force them to release it quickly or at least give us the date but they still quiet until it's released back in January, I guess it will be the same in this case.
so we still has 2 months left to wonder about the price and release date, and there is still hope for dollar to get weak, and back to 10k.

how was the price of nexus 4 back then when it was released on indonesia?
I hope the price can be below 5m, it is retarded if it goes up to 6m what is that stupid tax someone said about? I mean I saw a lenovo k900 advertisement on kompas today priced at 4m, NOT FAR from ebay or another online price I saw from googling, thus if lenovo phone price can be reasonably on par with international 'standard', why can't nexus 5???
if the ridiculous inflated price do happen, what is the cause? don't tell me that phones taxes are somehow tied with the phones' specs, that is utterly retarded beyond idiocy
now anoyher matter is availability, will normal phone shops here have nexus 5? how about the services and warranty, who is going to cover for them?
also can indonesian buy nexus 5 directly from google?

I heard from singapore forum, we can order N5 from australia's google playstore and then get it ship to Indonesia.
I got friend that can buy me the phone and when she comes back, I can have my N5. But can it really work with our carriers?

its price is 5.5M, I am on of the first buyer in Jogja lol
Nexus on play store available country is subsidized by google, and in non-play store country get it from LG instead Google.
No, it's not the tax, it's nothing to do with tax.
Yes it will be available here, only the release date is matters here, I bought mine from Erafone while LG authorized centre doesn't even have it yet.

lol wut, 5.5m for nexus 4? why oh why the ridiculous over inflated price, is it because of LG's ego so people will buy their phones instead?
4.5m is gonna be what I call a fair price, looks like it's just a wishful thinking

I don't know maybe it's the actual price before subsidized.
but not too long after initial release, about 3-4months i guess they cut the price to 4.999.000.
just wait couple months if you want more affordable price
I can't wait btw, two months is long enough for me. lol

since i have to save my money, but nexus 4 it's too hot when playing game, really uncomfortable

sigh, unfortunately I can't wait, my current phone is dying, actually originally I've been waiting for these new high end phablets especially the htc one max but htc dropped their balls really really harf with such underwhelming specs, not to mention htc phones are as expensive as samsung here I think, one of the reason I was hoping for htc because of their sense, been a long time admirer of it since touchflo days with winmo but surprisingly never owned an htc device lol... just when I finally about to get one they came up with rubbish phone lol.
don't like the bloatware infested samsung phones as well as their annualy rising apple like insanely high prices
lg g2 is quite nice but I don't like their ui too, as well as their less than average software updates support
then there is sony phones, for some time I liked sony ericsson very much on the days of P800-900 as well as the very first xperia phone but their current fetish with water proof phones just put me off, report says they have terrible sounds as well as underwhelming display, I don't like the ui either lol
so in a way, nexus 5 is my last hope for a 2013 flagship phone, either this or I'll wait to see the next htc flagship which is probably still 6+ months away unfortunately
overall it's sucks to be in this position lol

it is normal for modern smartphone, only the downside for me is development, development on N4 is almost reach its max, and everything will be steady, no more surprise whatsoever.
I tried my friend's S4, it's hot when playing game, not N4 hot but it is plastic while n4 is glass.
try to undervolt the cpu it will be much cooler, never had any heat issue unless the phone is constantly searching for signal cause i am in poor coverage area which is pretty normal on any phone.
