I think what hurt us die hard fans some was that the leaks came out early and it seems like we have already been waiting an eternity.
Release phone first then OS
I think the KitKat is delaying the release of the phone. The phone is definitely ready. They could release the phone first followed by OTAs. I wouldnt mind bugs

Being an Android enthusiast(or over enthusiast like others ) I'm expecting KitKat as much as Nexus 5. Without KitKat changes(hope there have some tricks up their sleeve) Nexus 5 is just like iPhone iteration.
Using an iPhone 5 and can't wait for the Nexus 5 to be released.
Praying for a 64gb version and flashing Roms on my HTC One. Will be selling it and grabbing an N5 if there happens to be a 64gb version. Not likely but one can hope.

I have a 5s as well and was thinking about selling but if the Nexus 5 is $300 with those leaked specs I may use the Nexus 5 as a mini tablet instead of getting a Nexus 7 2013. I also don't want to use custom roms on my daily driver anymore due to my crack flashing habit. Plus I do like the small size, FaceTime with the wife and speed of the iPhone.
And you got to figure that the Nexus 5 will hold its value very well compared to a Nexus 7. I know it's not a tablet but compared to a 4" inch iPhone it's pretty close. And if the Nexus 5 has a ir blaster I would be in heaven.
Nexus 6 and Nexus 8 hints.

I disagree. Although CM isn't my choice and I never run it on any of my devices, we all know how much easier it is to develop for a device that is also supported by Cyanogenmod. This makes it an interesting prospect for me and other people who are into ROMs etc. Trying to get that first pure AOSP build is going to be much easier, providing the fundamentals CM use are open sourced / blobbed etc

Yes, Cyanogenmod isn't what it used to be, but don't you think it is better than atleast touchwiz/xperia/sense ? OPPO have a ****ty ColorOS(tried N1 and it didn't have the performance N5 have). I'm sure with cyanogenmod, this is the best we can have.

Yes, it is assumed that is what the device called htc/flounder in AOSP is referring to. At this point it is more than a rumor.
Will be interested to see what Google has up their sleeves for the rumored final Nexus phone, and what it will be called (isn't Nexus 6 copywrited?). I'd love to see a smaller footprint device, with a 5" screen, like what you would see if the Moto X had a 5" screen. The device would probably be Galaxy Nexus sized.
If OnePlus makes a smaller phone, I'll probably start going with those (assuming Google stops the Nexus line, and no longer offers subsidized phones), since the support should be incredible, and the price would be right where we would expect a Nexus device to be.

I hope that OnePlus succeeds, I've read articles about how they can't even provide phones or accessories to the 100 contest winners. Some got an empty box, while others got the phone wrapped up in bubble wrap without anything else...
It does seem that the OnePlus One hype has died down and fast. Maybe this was proof that super cheap flagship phones cannot be done reliability.

Only one person got an empty box, and that was because it was stolen by an employee of the shipping company. OnePlus swiftly turned another phone around for him.

As for the bubble wrap and no accessories:
As much as we would have preferred one of our first Smash the Past winners to have shared the unboxing of the One with everybody, we didn't have the boxes and accessories ready at the time we had to ship the phones to our warehouses in Europe and the US to be right on schedule. Since we didn't want our fans to wait any longer, we notified all our 100 smashers that they would receive the entire package later this month.

Google have updated their mobile N5 page today.
http://www.google.co.uk/nexus/5
Seems like they're going to continue selling it alongside the new N6 and N9 maybe...
Dig the new wallpaper BTW.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, a little surprised.
But the page has been updated to tout Lollipop.
Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 gone, but Nexus 5 still there.
I think they will release a phone in that size range be it Nexus 6 mini or Nexus 5 2014/15 or perhaps a new name.
Which is why they continue to support Nexus 5. Kind of like what Samsung does with the 's' and 'note' series.
Is the Nexus 7 still being sold?
---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------
Nexus 7 is officially EOL so my guess is N5 is here to stay for a while
Nexus 5 looks sexy on that page. Can't wait for mine to look similar
I think they will keep selling the Nexus 5 for quite some time. Signs are all there. The updated page. The updated screenshots with Lollipop, etc.
The Nexus 6 is nice, but it is WAY too big and WAY too expensive for a lot of the people that bought the Nexus 5.
To me, the real interesting question to consider is what will they do next year?
Will it be Motorola again? And will it be yet another 6" size phone? What will happen to 5"? Will the current LG Nexus 5 be the last of its kind?
Will there be a 2015 Nexus 6 by Motorola (since they usually get two opportunities) and another OEM making a 2015 Nexus 5 (please someone say Sony)?
I hate to jump the gun, but it's something interesting to ponder.
Let oppo make a nexus phone it'll be the best.

In my understandings, Google will keep selling nexus 5 as a smaller variant, because lets face it, a lot of people dont want phablet and they know it. Also price is little high (now its top end hardware there, no cut offs like on nexus 5 so thats normal). But how long they will keep selling n5, i dont know, but i would dare to say until next october.

What do you mean usually? Six phones (counting the upcoming) and five tablets (counting the upcoming and the Transformer Prime) is hardly a relevant sample size.
I still think an Apple made (but spec'd internals like an Android flagship) 5in screen Nexus would be amasing.
On the N5 page it says: "5 Made for what matters". This is exactly perfect. The N5's specs are still good and will continue to be "enough" for a while. A phone that just "works".
With this move, Google effectively covered 2 market segments.

Yeah. I don't feel like I need to upgrade to Nexus 6 and I'm happy with that.
But, I still think they shouldn't make 6" Nexus. Instead, they should make an upgrade version of Nexus 7...
Would make perfect sense to keep the nexus 5 available because the snapdragon 800 is easy good enough I wouldn't upgrade to a phone with say a snapdragon 801 my nexus 5 flies compared to my wife's g3 and that's no slouch also I heard the snapdragon 805 is just another incremental upgrade from the 801.

To me Google made the best possible move this year, also with minimal effort. They already had the iPhone6 counterpart on the market with the Nexus 5, at pretty much half the price or less, so now they also have the 6+ counterpart, also for a much lesser price (still not cheap, but way cheaper). They effectively covered all size ranges right now, with both smartphones and tablets. Sure the N7 may have needed a small bump in specs, but for what it is, a cheap entry level mini tablet, it's more than enough for the kind of consumer looking for something in that range.
aye, I'm buying a 32g black updated one, just as a back up..
I'm not going anywhere from the nexus 5..
I got my phone last month and I'm perfectly happy with it and don't really want the nexus 6. So yeah, they should keep selling the nexus 5 along with the 6 and maybe refresh it next year as a nexus 5 2015 model.

Yes. The Nexus 4 was my first Android phone. I bought one sight unseen and loved it. I ordered a 5 the day it went on sale. For the first time in two years I'm not sure I'll buy the new model. Even ignoring the higher price, I don't know if I want a phone that big. Fortunately the Nexus 5 remains a powerful phone and I can see it carrying me through another year to see if Google rolls out something a bit smaller for 2015.
I'm so happy hearing such good news,because when other manufacturers discontinue support for their products after 18 months Google decided to keep supporting Nexus 5,even beside that it's almost 1 year old now.
That's why now I'm feeling even happier owning such a wonderful device.And really proud of Google's decision.
WELL DONE GOOGLE!
Maybe next year there will be a 5.2" 64bit version of the Nexus 5. After seeing the price of the N6, I decided to buy the N5. (again)
I wish Google wasn't being so quiet regarding their inventory. Was going to get a 16gig model for my wife and was hoping for a price drop. While the price drop seems unlikely now I would at least like to know when more will be coming in.
Anybody notice the Yellow Nexus 5 in the background of the pictures for the Nexus 9 keyboard case??
Ordered my Nexus 6 the other day (32gb Midnight Blue). Will be here on Tuesday.
Did I make right choice of phone?
I recently turned in my HTC M8 for the Xperia Z3V. I know, "WORST" mistake I made this year lol.
I'm a huge fan of stock android and can't wait to experience Lollipop. I loved my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, other than the poor cameras and loud speakers.
This is gonna be my first Motorola made phone, but you can't complain about what they've done in the smartphone market of late.
After watching a few reviews of the Nexus 6, I can't help but notice that the back looks kinda like this blue leather looking material (hopefully I'm wrong). I was hoping for some kind of strong plastic.
The size of the phone definitely isn't too big for me. Im a huge media user and can't wait to watch some 1080p movies on it.
My doubt in the phone only comes when watching comparison videos with the Note 4. A lot of comparison are giving the upper hand to the Note 4.
My wife has the Note 4 and it does feel nice, but the aging design (hardware and software) of the galaxy line is a downside for me. Seriously, who still wants to use that hardware home button?
I've also noticed some complaints of the screen burn-ins and the nexus logo falling apart.
Anyone wanna try to help ease my thoughts with their experience so far?
The backing on the nexus is a hard plastic fyi.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You've made my day on that part. So did it just look better in person then? (The back)
I too was uncertain but took the plunge also on ordering one. It'll be here this week. I traded in my note 4. But thankfully I don't have to turn in my note 4 till 2 weeks after receiving the nexus. So it gives me a chance to choose. But I well tell you I've not been happy with the note 4. The every once in a while lag/hiccups and constant losing lte in getting discouraged. I've rooted it and that seems to help but not as good as a $700+ phone should be.
I've also seen and been scared of the reviews about logos falling off, screen burn in, and that blue. I just don't know if I'll like that blue metal ring around it. But I figured if I don't like the blue I can just put it in a case. Or worse yet just send it back and keep the note 4. But I highly doubt I'll keep the note with the problems it has. Granite for the most part there minor but still aggravating.
I loved my nexus 5 except battery, so if the 6 has a battery that last a day and with those speakers in sure to love it. Just wish tmobile carried the white version since the metal sides are silver,
Its hard to imagine what everyone will say in this forum.
I think you made the right choice. Surprise!

You've made a good choice. But at the end of the day the majority will love it while some will be extra critical and point out things that most won't be able to notice. Overall the N6 is a beautiful beast imo
I had the same problem when ordering my new phone. But one of the main reasons against Samsung was the lack of high quality materials. My last two phones were Samsung and they were pure plastic. Sure there are phones feeling even better but I was like WOW when taking the Nexus 6 out of its box. The other reason was the pure (but rooted) android. I hate all the Samsung TouchWiz and HTC Sense and stuff like that.
Beside these things you are posting in the Nexus 6 board here so I guess the major part of the users will say you did the right choice!
I can't comment on the note 4.
I came from the 2013 motoX.
I could easily say it was the best phone I've ever used despite the camera issues.
Motorola in my opinion makes one of the best quality devices out there.
They're warranty is great and if any of these issues involving burn in or letters coming up effect you I'm sure they would gladly replace your device as I know they have in the past with all Motorola devices that have issues.
But I for one got the white model because the blue model doesn't look near as classy. The blue metal ring around it looks terrible and looks more of a bluish purple color.
However I bought my nexus 6 for the development community, screen size, and front facing speakers.
The camera has blown me away so far.
Even low light shots turn out incredibly well and exceed my expectations of a camera phone.
I for one don't think you will be disappointed. But you make the call!
And enjoy!!

The rumor appears to be picking up steam and it really does seem plausible... What do you guys think? I wont feel cheated if it comes to fruition. I bought my OP3 the very day it came out back in June, and I've enjoyed every second of it since.
They'll definitely have to announce it, and they have to do so under a different name because the changes do appear to be significant, so hopefully no one will get screwed over buying the original OP3 one week and the next week the OP3+ comes out.
What do you guys think? A 2K LED screen and Snapdragon 821 would be pretty dope. Of course, it probably would need a 4000mah battery and 6 inch screen to accommodate the battery.
It would be a d!ck move by OnePlus for them to do this just a few months after the OnePlus 3 was launched.

I just ordered a OP3 yesterday and then read this news today. It doesn't bother me though. The reason I bought the OP3 is because of the variety of ROMS, MultiROM support, and NetHunter support. All those things will have to start over for this "refresh" version. It will require a new XDA forum. It's a new phone model. They would be doing a huge disservice to try to sell it as OP3.
Also, like someone above said, the 6" screen will be too big. I've had a Nexus 6 for a year and a half and I'm ready for something that comfortably fits in my pocket.
I don't think this will happen. I hope it doesn't.
They just released the OnePlus 3 in o2 stores in the UK about a month ago, so immediately making it outdated with a newer model when they have so much exposure in a retail shop in front of the general population, seems like a very bad idea. It's already better than the competition so no need to change it just yet. Let the holiday period revel in the OnePlus 3 glory!

Exactly the same reason I just ordered a One+3. I really enjoy the Nexus 6, but I want a phone sligtly smaller with a "near stock" android experience.
Looking forward to this phone, hope it ships within a few weeks.
One thing I like about Oneplus is that Carl Pei seems to be pretty straight up. Not many directors of cell phone manufacturers can be seen actively engaging with users on forums either.

If someone came up to me tomorrow and asked if I would swap my SD820/OLED for a SD821/LCD, I would say no.
In 2 or 3 years time, the speed difference between the SD820 & 821 may become important. Until that point, I'd rather being looking at my OLED every day over an LCD. As far as I'm concerned, LCD = The past.
A OnePlus 3 with an LCD screen!?! I'm sorry, Snapdragon 821 or not, it's simply NOT a OnePlus 3 without an AMOLED screen!
Just call it the OnePlus 3.1
Carl pei said yesterday that oneplus will be sticking to optic amolled displays. So I don't see any other displays coming in future

I was thinking about getting the OnePlus 3 this weekend after the disappointment with the Google Pixel pricing, but with all this talk about what the new 'A3010' could be, it would be difficult to place down this amount of money knowing there's potentially an updated model of the OP3 coming out within the next few months. I have been searching for a new phone to replace my LG G4, and the OP3 seems like the perfect phone as it matches quite a specific criteria i had planned out. (SD820, 3GB RAM, AMOLED 1920x1080, 64GB Internal Storage, Fingerprint Reader)
The OP3 is now being sold in O2 stores here in the UK, which offers me much quicker alternative to ordering from the official OnePlus website and being presented with a month-long wait for delivery. But these stores are asking for £346 including a £10 top-up which i will never use, in comparison with the £329 on the website which is already a little beyond my available budget. Personally, i think £346 for a phone which is approaching 5 months old when it was only £309 on release in the UK (Increase of £20 due to Brexit) is difficult to get too enthusiastic about buying. Of course it is a miracle how OnePlus can sell such an astonishing phone at such a low price range, and the reason for the price increase was beyond their control due to how the Pound has fallen following the EU Referendum. However, it is a shame as the phone was already beyond my allocated budget and has increased in price by £20 for online purchases over the past 6 months!
I am hoping at least that if an updated model comes out with the Snapdragon 821 at a similar affordable price bracket (£300-350), then it would make more sense for me to purchase that as i would not be buying a device which is already five months down the line and gradually falling behind competitors such as the Google Pixel. Despite my restricted budget, i would much rather spend a small premium getting an up-to-date phone with the latest processor equipped, than buying the OnePlus 3 for £20 more than it was originally listed for and getting marginally outdated specifications.
