The nexus 4 is great value now, the nexus 5 probably isn't too far away, but for 200 quid for the 16GB version you're still getting arguably one of the top spec phones out there at the moment.

It's like Sophie's choice haha!
Been looking at Nexus 4 for a while as lots of the ROMs I use on my Nexus 7 are made for that too. But I know if I bought the Nexus 4 now I would be gutted when the New Nexus 4 (or 5) gets released!

Got an S4 last month on contract, but had contemplated the Nexus 4 as it was such good value. Had pretty much decided on the S4 and in the end the nexus 4 was out of stock with my provider so that was that. Have a Nexus 7 as well so it keeps my pure vanilla android cravings satisfied!
There is always the 'next' device just around the corner, have seen articles with S5 rumours knocking about already! At least you can be certain it will receive the next key lime pie update which should also be incoming very soon, which always gives that type of new phone excitement!

nexus 4 16gb for £200?!?!?!

nexus 7 two is real?

Hi for all, anyone kown if is real the nexus 7 two, if but no 8 inches, what think? Thanks
Not real yet, as in selling, but it's probably been produced.
Should be 7" by all rumors.
Won't know until Google shows them...
I think 8" is a good size too. I played around with my sister's Note 8 and it's pretty nice.
An 8 inch would be nice, but doesn't seem likely. I am thinking of getting a 7 and a 10 this time around. Hopefully a new 10 will be released with the 7.

Google won't release a new 7 and 10 at the same time, its a marketing scheme to release different tablet sizes at different times so a lot of people buy the new 7 then they release a new 10 and people buy that.

All the rumors I've heard say 7 inches. As for release time I've heard anywhere from later this month to 4th quarter this year.

My guess would be this month. Staples just lowered the price on their nexus 7's today, so it seems like a release is near.
I covered this as leaks and rumors a few months a go on my site.
It is definitely real and is IMMANENT!
This time round I'll be getting the 10" version, as my Nexus 7 is still the snappy little bulldog it used to be, and I love it as much as the day I bought it, so why replace it?

Nexus 6 or waiting for Android Silver

What are y'alls thoughts on getting your hands on the Nexus 6 and or waiting for Android Silver?
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Too early to tell which path i will take. I'm loving my Nexus 4, considering Nexus 5 or LG G2 (because of the battery) as an upgrade sometime soon, but might hold back until i hear some good news for both programs.

Waiting for a Nexus 6 to replace my Nexus 4.
Google know people are on two year update cycles... They support Nexus devices for two years! They'll be looking for something to replace an N4 - even if its just an announcement around November surely...
Happy to wait till then. The plumetting price of g2 is an interesting one though. Shame there's no GPe for it...

Honestly? This year's pretty tricky. I know I'm going to upgrade relatively soon, but I'm looking at the new iPhone fairly seriously (especially with the rumored 4.7" screen) for the first time since I left iOS in 2010. The rumored iPhone 6 is currently slightly behind the rumored Moto X+1, with the rumored Nexus 6 sitting in third. Obviously this could all change with actual information, but for now I just don't know.
I love the unlocked bootloader/root and everything that comes with it, but I'm also tired of the ****ty battery and the mediocre camera. The Nexus 5, though obviously better than the 4, again seemed relatively mediocre compared to its competition with regards to both. I'm afraid the same will be true with the Nexus 6, though obviously I'm hopeful that it doesn't fall into the same trap that every Nexus device does.

well for the price of an iPhone you get:
1 nexus 5 = 2 year lifetime
1 nexus 5 = 2 year lifetime
1 nexus 6 = 2 year lifetime
versus
1 iPhone 6 = 2 year lifetime
If you're comparing iPhones with cheap androids (nexus or moto line) then it's not fair. You have to compare to equally budgeted devices like HTC One M7/M8, Samsung Galaxy S6?, LG's new superstar etc...
They will have comparable cameras and better screens

I bought the GSM Galaxy Nexus for $650 (maybe ~$100 less than the iPhone in Canada) and didn't get a good camera and battery. I'm not really using price as a consideration because it's not really irrelevant to my needs (though obviously a consideration for a lot of people). On Android, I want a good camera and battery, regardless of price, along with an unlocked bootloader, easy root, stock Android, and quick updates. The whole reason I skipped the Nexus 5 was because it didn't deliver that.
Galaxy S5, HTC One, etc. don't deliver that. The developer editions do, but again they have tradeoffs compared to the official ones (picture quality being the biggest concern, battery life also worse based on reports). If Android Silver can deliver that, I'm also interested. I'm just explaining why I'm looking at the iPhone and have no interest in convincing anybody else to...so there's that
Edit: Quick question, but where did you get the 2-year lifetime warranty for the Nexus 5? The Nexus 4 only has a 1-year warranty...I know because mine ran out and I was looking to get the audio jack replaced.
Let's wait until there's an official announcement before we discuss this

Nexus 5 set to continue?

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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??

Goodbye Nexus 5!! Google takes Nexus 5 off the new "Google Store"

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.

Everyone has their own opinions....its mine...."discontinued" feels bit low..
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.
I fear developers will jump ship to another brand if the only available Nexus is a 6 inch...

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.
(very proud to say I have a 32GB launch edition white Nexus 5 btw)

About Nexus 6 need your opinion

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a Nexus 6, the new unlocked with a 2 year warranty, EU version but I need your opinion worth whether to buy or wait for new models of Nexus, and if you can tell me, is it a good phone or buy other models as note 5 or S6 edge+, for now I use nexus 5 for two years and I'm very satisfied
Don't let anyone tell you to wait for the new nexus, because when that phone comes, then it will be wait for the next new one. Waiting is pointless, there's always gonna be something better shortly after.
As for the Samsungs, I hate them personally. The hardware is nice, the software is junk. Yes, even the newer touchwiz is crap. Nothing beats stock Android. NOTHING!
Staying with the nexus phones your on a safe path of constant fast updates first.
The Nexus 6 is one hell of a good phone and I guarantee that you won't notice any performance difference between this and the new nexus phones. Yipee higher scores on antutu maybe, but that's complete crap.
If you are interested in a large phone. Get that N6. Period.
