Nice video
I basicaly think the same as the top comment
Nexus 4 (16gb) 349$ - iPhone 5 (16gb) 649$ (x1.86)
Nexus 7 (32gb 3g) 299$ - iPad mini (32gb 3g) 559$ (x1.87)
Nexus 10 (16gb) 399$ - iPad (16gb) 499$ (x1.25)
Nexus 4 broken? I can buy a new one for just 49$ more than 1 iPhone
Nexus 7 broken? I can buy a new one for just 39$ more than 1 iPadMini
iPad broken? I can buy a new one for "just" 599$ more than 1 Nexus 10

trouble is with the argument "ahh well the iPhone is $xx more than the Nexus etc etc" isnt quite right.
As far as we know it costs a similar amount to PRODUCE a iPhone, S3, Nexus etc. Then there's just a mark-up.
True the nexus is cheaper but it wont be that much less to produce.
No matter what Apple have got things right designing there own hardware and software. Look at my Nexus - all that muscle but very little to show for it regarding performance tests coming out. Wheres all the power ? ? ?
+ LG and Googles "ooo lets make it all shiny" approach has basically resulted in probably the most damage-prone android phone to date.
I know luck in how they fall comes into it, you wont have the exact same each time, even using that machine.
That said the Nexus 4 is poorly designed and that is what it gets for having no impact zones.
Apparently, there have been some rumors floating around the last few weeks about a new version of the Nexus 4 being released to address storage space issue.
...But besides that, it seems that Google is also sneaking in CDMA support, meaning those of us stuck on Verizon might finally have a chance at this.
Has anyone else heard the rumors? What do you think? Supposedly, there's slated to be a presentation at Google I/O about the new Nexus 4, focusing on its support for Key Lime Pie. So, we'll find out definitively one way or another in a couple weeks. However, until then, speculation might as well run rampant.

Google IO starts in 26 days... Rumors = Bull****
But I have to admit I can't wait for Key Lime Pie...
It wouldn't make any sense to release a new Nexus phone and a new version of the old model...
Storage space issue? What? There is Google Drive (or SkyDrive, Dropbox etc.) And what do you expect for the low price of the Nexus 4... (of course the hardware is great)
Anyway I hope that the new Nexus phone won’t be a 5inch eek plastic crap like the Samsung S4, the LG Nexus is perfect hope they stay on this design.
Nexus 5 with CDMA might be more reasonable...
16GB can't be short for a bunch of apps...

Your link doesn't say anything about a new version of the Nexus 4 but that the Nexus 5 is only going to be a beefed up version of the Nexus 4. Kind of like what Apple did with the iPhone 4S.

I actually did not read the last few sentences and its all just rumors anyways. It doesn't make sense as they would have to add not only a CDMA chip but also LTE as Verizon would never let it on its network without it. Just adding CDMA alone could drive the price up at least another $50-60 from what it is now let alone what adding LTE would cost. You would be looking at a $500 phone, more likely $600 as Verizon wouldn't let Google sell it through the play store. And that would also mean Google would have to re-submit the phone to the FCC for approval for LTE. Just not going to happen as the Nexus 5 is just around the corner and will be announced in about a month anyways.

Why do think the Nexus 5 will be announced in about a month? They have never announced new Nexus devices until sometime in Q4 of the calendar year, traditionally in the November to December timeframe.
I've been seeing some of these rumors and I really hope it's true. I have the S3 on sprint now but I can't wait to get a stock android phone. LTE and sprint support and I'm in IMO the one and s4 are just more of the same and I really don't like OEM ui overlays. Also I don't see Google announcing a new nexus 5 next month so this seems somewhat plausible...kind of how the ns4g came to the party a little later

There are rumors that Google will introduce the Nexus 5 or an LTE version of the Nexus 4 at Google I/O in May. They typically show something off at that event, last year it was the Nexus 7. Also I don't really see a CDMA version of the Nexus 4, just an LTE/GSM version as Verizon is very anal about anything on its network and usually tests the crap out of it for months before they will release it. Look at the GNex disaster for a hint of how Nexus devices get introduced and supported on Verizon. And yes typically Q4 is when Nexus phones are announced and released but specs usually start leaking out months in advance. And if the Nexus 4 LTE rumors were true someone would have shown off Googles application to the FCC to license it by now for sure. Usually some android website shows off with a "look what showed up at the FCC" post. So it's just speculation on my part that at I/O Google will show off an LTE Nexus 5.
Given that a lot of manufacturers are moving to 6-month update cycles instead of annual update cycles, it may not be surprising if google does the same with its nexus line up, with 6 month incremental update cycles and annual major revision cycles.
Will it have better battery life? That is what I care about the most!

Well, they could build the n5 as a world phone with quad band gsm, CDMA, bands 1, 4, and 17 lte and such, then add 64gb of storage sell it for 500$ and I'd be in

Your points about the the nexus 7 makes it more likely that we see a refresh of it at I/O as it is already a year old.

Exactly. There isn't going to be a new nexus phone. Maybe the Motorola X, but not a new nexus. The nexus 7 will be refreshed though.

Android Police or Droidlife, I forget which, had an article about this rumor which was more informative than the link provided. They said Google usually introduces non-phone hardware at I/O so like you say a re-fresh of the Nexus 7 or other tablet device is what they will show off.
I thought Google was going big on Google TV this I/O? 2nd gen nexus 7 is needed and I'm guessing a nexus Google TV device.

There is already a CDMA Optimus G, so it wouldn't be too much work for Google.
I was looking at the NV Item in the Qualcomm modem on my N4, and it had quite a few references to Verizon. Which seems a bit weird other than perhaps it being a legacy of the Optimus G CDMA version when the N4 was being developed.
As for CDMA, I'll give my usual rant that it's a dead technology even according to its standards body (3GPP2). Plus the whole eHRPD thing is just a complete mess, it tries to emulate core GSM network components for circuit switched fallback
All the CDMA providers should be racing to deploy LTE everywhere so they can switch people permanently to LTE and get rid of circuit switched fallback to CDMA.
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??
Google announced the new Google store but the listing of Nexus 5 is gone .
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/meet-updated-chromebook-pixel-and-new.html
Clicking phones on https://store.google.com/ take you to the Nexus 6 listing https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6
The Nexus 5 has no place on the new site. This was speculated a while ago but just the feeling of it being off the store is awful.
I love the Nexus 5 with its quirks, endless issues and powerful specs at the price we never imagined.
Yep, not available for sale anymore https://store.google.com/product/nexus_5
I really do hope they replace it with another 5" device.
I'd love for there to always be both a "normal" phone and a phablet in the Nexus line.
Especially since I have no desire for a phablet, and I've only ever purchased nexus devices. I managed to skip the Nexus 6, but my N5 definitely won't last another year after.
I think it was taken off sale on purpose to push nexus 6 sales, me personally id rather have the 5. The 6 is nice but i know from nexus devices they are usually cheap and good for performance with a few corners cut, I couldn't buy the 6 for its price knowing there is better phones out there at a cheaper price

Loved my Nexus 5. Loved it. Slightly bigger screen (5'2"), bigger battery, it would have been perfect.
I sold it for the Moto Maxx (same specs as Nexus 6, also made by Motorola but 5.2" and 3900 mAh battery) but I still have fond memories. And my wife loves her Nexus 5.
For the specs it had and the price, it was fantastic.
yup , its gone from indian play store too ..
We will see it return.. Stronger and faster than it was before..
Cue Six Million Dollar Man theme music.
who knows? maybe there will be Nexus 5 2015 edition hihihi :fingers-crossed:
The Nexus 5 will still be for sale new on Ebay and Amazon among others. It's not going anywhere for a while. You can even still buy a new Nexus One if you wanted. Just because the play store has stopped selling it means nothing.
There will be.

I seriously hope they continue with the 5 inch Nexus series. Nexus has the best development community by far. We get all the new roms and features way before other phones.

Technically discontinued is right. But I'd assume since the Nexus 5 is better or probably on par with most flagships nearly this long after it's 2013 release, people consider it as like a limited edition phone.. I'm on the fence. While I also feel that technically it is discontinued, I also feel like the value of the Nexus 5 may slightly increase because it's still a great phone for development and it's going to be harder to find, and the Nexus 5 IMHO was probably the best Nexus phone released to date, the Nexus 6 is a phablet and honestly don't know much about it's successor based on it's size I immediately figured it would be the wrong phone for me, plus I've heard the Nexus 6 had it's share of problems like any phone. Nexus 5 had their initial batches which were flawed in design somewhat and they updated the form factor for it.

I own a red Nexus 5. I love it.
I currently have a Nexus 7 2013 and Blackberry Z30. I probably can get a Blackberry Priv for half price, or find a cheap Nexus 6. I think if I got a Nexus 6 I would replace my tablet as well with it, but basically, should I replace both devices with a Nexus 6, replace the Z30 with a Nexus 6, or replace the Z30 with a Priv? I'm used to using my Nexus 7 as kind of a large phone, so the size of the 6 doesn't really put me off.
