I miss my Nexus so much I am trading my Note 2 straight across for a Nexus 4. It's cool to play with something different for awhile, but there is nothing like the Nexus experience...
The **** are you on about?

Obviously talking about coming back to the Nexus forums you illiterate ****...
On a personal note I would take a Note 2 over a Nexus any day fir the following reasons:
1. MicroSD slot
2. The larger screen
3. Removable battery
Not fussed about 3G or 4G or Quad or Dual core CPU.
But than again I will admit the Nexus 4 is a very nice phone and the good thing is you will get Google updates before others.

16GB is enough for me, I mostly just use it for music and nandroid backups. The larger screen can be a pain sometimes. I never take my battery out anyway...I am not a heavy user as I get no cell service where I work. They both get the same bands on T-mobile and are both quad core, so that's not an issue for me either..
Welcome back to the N4!

I know leaks are silly most of the time, but has anyone seen the N5 leaks?
The specs are kinda sweet. 2.3GHz quadcore, 1080p, 5.2 in, 3GB RAM and such.
Probably still no microSD. They would sell a lot more N4 with microSD.
Most of them I don't want or need. But as the N4 is not that expensive, I might trade up. How about you guys?

i think these rumours are just partially true. i dont think google will release a phone with 5.2" for now, im not even sure it will be 5". just look at the htc one, 4.7" and full hd, i think that would be perfect.
3gb ram... sounds weird. i think theyre gonna stick with 2 gigs. never seen my n4 run above 1.2 in usage.
2.3ghz cpu = snapdragon 800. might be true, although they might go with tegra4. either way, its gonna pack a lot of power.
no microsd slot is reasonable, just give me the opportunity to have at least 32 gigs of storage, and im gonna be fine.
the biggest hit with the n5 will be key lime pie imo. the hardware is waay ahead of the software if we're talking about android.
we need sw optimizations, and for the love of god, do something with the battery! the most annoying thing of any smartphone is that it must be charged every day if used normally.
im really interested in motos x phone, it should - like moto usually does - deliver decent battery life with good hardware and if the rumours are true, it will have vanilla android = its a win for me.

Is there no fun in these articles?, we don`t cure cancer here. Just people who are intersted in improving and tweaking their phones and intersted in what`s to come
I don't care about these specs. But have you seen this design ??/ Totaly sick !
Nope it's not the next nexus. 3gb ram? There wasn't even 2gb ram on high end phones until last month.

U.S. versions of the SGS3 have 2GB RAM. They were released in what, June or July of 2012?
2.5Gb or 4Gb RAM is more likely than 3 and hopefully DDR3.
I thought the rumor for KLP and allegedly up the newer Linux kernels use way less RAM then ICS/JB...why the need for more than 2gb then?

I was thinking the same thing. A mobile device using even 2GB RAM is a bit ridiculous. Jit compiling and Java in general are such resource hogs. Oh well.

The main issue I see is that you have a ton of basement coders with no real training or experience releasing apps onto the Play Store loaded with inefficient and just poor code. That, I think, will be the main issue causing the "need" for more resources.
Shall we get into why quad and octa core CPU's in a phone are ridiculous with multi threading being in the state it's in or leave it alone?
Can everybody else check in the system monitor app weather your showing only 1.5gb of ram instead of 2gb?
Mine says 1.5gb too

HTC does that I think, they reserve a piece of the ram to run the system and don't show it.

It's the same on any device -a certain amount of the total RAM is unavailable to the OS and thus "hidden". For example, the One XL shows 660-760 (or something like that) total RAM, depending on the ROM you're running.
1.5GB

Your not getting it. My nexus 7 shows like 900, nexus 4 around 1.6. Previous phones says the same thing as having ram amounts shown less because it is dedicated to the phone.
It be cool if every android phone on this planet that said that right?

I have also read that the GPU does not have dedicated RAM, so that it uses some of the 2gb. Then the operating system needs some RAM.
I just got mine from Rogers today (Canada)
Says 2G under system info
OK so looks like LG and Google are at it again. I don't even care at this point, either a Moto nexus for probably more money or LG at same price point. Most likely it is LG at this point and we lose the snap 800 in g2 but get the rest.

This is just a made up report based on zero facts. Just like the Moto Nexus rumor. Until there is some real insider information, I wouldn't pay any attention to these rumors.
The thing about a "rumor" is anyone can say whatever they want and claim no responsibility if they are wrong. Being there are about 5 different "next" nexus rumors in this forum, most of these are just brain children of their authors.
Personally, I take everything with a spoonful of salt until Google announces the device.

Sounds familiar...
The G2 is to big
I like how much space is covered by the screen, but the overall size of the phone is to huge in my opinion. Maybe better a 5" screen?
Everything else sounds great for the same price of the N4. But 32GB would be nice.
Buttons on the side are a must. Those back Button are strange.

The Atrix was released about 2 months after the Optimus 2X. I actually had an O2X, worst phone I ever had. ****ty software support as well, took LG well over a year to release ICS, and even then, it was buggy as sh*t etc. Hardware was decent though :laugh:
I'd rather have Motorola get a chance to build a Nexus phone with the Moto X design.
At least they release it, moto abandoned us

IMO Moto X design and size is great, but unfortunately everything else is dissapointment. I would like to see next Nexus will have similar design to Moto X, but better CPU (Snapdragon 600 or 800), and better body materials (Kevlar instead on Moto X's plastic).
Please discuss further in the existing Nexus 5 thread

This might sound crazy, but I'm wanting to sell my gaming pc to get a nice gaming phone. I had 2 phones in mind, the HTC one or the galaxy s4. Now I know the galaxy s4 is faster cause of the 1.9ghz quad. But for a fact its not better. Because of the HTC one having the front speakers and the metal body and with HTC sense I just love it. Anyway my main question is will the HTC one keep up with games for awhile cause now the nexus 5 is coming out and the note 3 is already here. Also if I get the HTC one which one would be the easiest to s-off. There are a lot of companys that have it. I won't be activating the phone but I will be wanting to s off and unlock..etc. At the moment I have the HTC evo 3d and its good. But mobile gaming is going to get really nice and I'm on my phone much more than my pc anyway. So yeah..the HTC one is what I'm aiming toward but just for some reason i am not sure. Last thing is-will I be able to push the HTC one a lot more with over clocking the GPU and CPU? I watched a video and the highest they got was 1.9ghz cpu if stock is 1.7 why does it mess up only at 1.9? I was hoping at least 2.3ghz to sorta be up to par with the note 3. Anyway I know this phone is still a beast without overclocking if its to much of a hassle for it. Thanks for any help I get. You will be thanked.

HTC is still a top tier phone. It is rootable and easy to s-off. If you install a custom rom and kernel, you can over clock the cpu and gpu up to it's maximum for gaming. But in doing so the battery life will be horrible and the phone will heat up quickly (because of it's metal body). I would recommend this phone 100%.

You can overclock it to 2.3ghz... but the benefit is only extremly minimal! You burn through your battery life.. not the life time for this one cycle.. you **** up your battery if it gets too hot for a longer period of time.. so my advice.. overclock it only to 1.9 if you really want to then you should be good to go
And what about over clocking the GPU could it be about the same speed as the adreno 330?? Also should I wait for the nexus 5?

well it does have the next step over in processing power, and should technically be better at what you want it for, but i still think that the htc one as a whole better package even with the "older" 600 is still a powerhouse that should hold up for a good amount of time into the future.
get the htc one. the s4 may be clocked faster but also has tons of bloatware preinstalled.
Thanks guys. Heres another thing. Please tell me why the HTC one max is using the same parts as the HTC one? It makes no sense..imagine if it had the snapdragon 800 and the adreno 330. That would be the best phone ever!!! But only difference I saw was the screen size and the fingerprint reader (on the back of the phone???)

I love gaming and I bought my htc one for that reason. Its gaming is superior to any other phone I've had. There's no lag in most games. Its awesome I'd say yes.

I say the galaxy s4 cos gaming feels much more stable than the HTC. The amount of customisability on the s4 surpasses the HTC by miles and the s4 is less likely to crash every app you have when over clocked.

I do agree that the s4 is nice and installing custom ROMs will fix the bloatware problem. But one fact is, the HTC one is better than any other smartphone as of now simply because of the front speakers. When you are playing a game you actually feel like you are in it. But god.....I wish the one max was improved performance wise still.....
