I was hell lot bored and decided to make a concept model of Nexus 5 in the mean time in Photoshop.
Here's what I came up with :

What do you think ?

I think you have answered the long standing question "where is the damn earphone?" damn good render if you ask me, but the real deal is supposed to be 'little' bit squarish! Just my thought!
Sent from my Nexus 4
looks exactly like the nexus 4 but maybe thinner bezels on the top?
Oh geez.. This photo will be over the rumor blogs any day!
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!
very nice render!
gonna nit pick here just for fun:
looks like the "rubbery" looking outer border is a bit thicker on the left side than the right side. Could just be my eyes though.
that "rubbery" looking material looks super nice though!
another nitpick:
the volume buttons curve inwards on the top and bottom, the power button does not. personally, i prefer the non curved style of the power button as you pictured it.
truly great job though!
if you make it, ill buy it
Same design Almost looks like n4.. nothing new for me .. just so excited to see 4.4

Um. I don't know if you're just trolling and people are going along with it but that's exactly what the N4 looks like.
I don't know why we need a render anyways when we have the actual pictures of the device.
Is that large inlaid square on the far left a much more respectable speaker?
To be honest that looks just like an N4, even the curves at the top and bottom resemble a N4 more than the leaked pictures of the N5. And even the bezel looks like an N4
Conclusion this is a render of an N4

I can share the entire PSD with all the layers , bezel, gloss and others which I made completely -_-
What's the use in making a phone which doesn't even resemble a bit with its predecessor ?
Just for ur arrogancy, here, compare these 2, the real nexus 4 is the one with my keylimepie concept UCCW setup homescreen -_-
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I like your concept.
Yes it looks similar to Nexus 4 but IMO it is a good thing.
I tried some other phones but nothing pleased me more than the Nexus 4, even in the design. So a Nexus with similar design would be great.
What about the back? The front is a screen, thats a given, but the back is the main place which gives the phone its design.

if its 4.95 inch and its called nexus 5 the numbers are representing the number of nexus phones released, if its nexus 4 2013 (which i highly doubt) its all about the screen sizes...

Please don't turn this into a Nexus 4 vs 5 naming thread. There's already about 1000 threads here discussing that. We will find out in a few weeks.

its bull****, I hate when companies do crap like this, you buy their product and then they release a subjectively better version not too far down the line. I bet this version is a bigger capacity too.
Although I'm perfectly happy with my 16GB Nexus4, seeing this makes we drool just by the color itself. Now if this isn't a hoax and comes out with a huge upgrade other than storage capacity, then i'll be pissed.

Then don't have it ready. Imagine if the N4 was released today, we'd probably be on a Tegra 3 or on next-gen quad-core cpu or even the Samsung rumored octa core
They still managed to keep the sparkly effect on the white phone now that's really girly lol I'll be mad if it's 32gb (which I highly doubt since they'recontinuing with sales for the 8gb) that's all I care about but there's really nothing I can do now. I love my nexus too much to sell it and potentially be without a phone because if the white comes out it'll sell out faster than the original lol.

Not a fan of white, I would still get black, hands down.
Unless that one had 8 cores, 32GB RAM, and a 4000MAH battery... Then... Hmmm... <caveman> White not look so bad now. </caveman>
I can't see the sparkly back 'working' well in white.
Want a white back black front, use a ringe rearth slim snapon (personally didnt like the
upper lip) Its what mine looked like. Quick to turn yellow from hand acid soot...
If nillikin makes a white I'd recommend it over the ringe.
As for bigger capacity, ofc there will be 32 and 64gb versions. That's a given
White I'd just a little too voting for me now that I have had it on SIII. I went ahead and switched to pebble blue and am much happier with that

My Nexus 5 seems to have poor viewing angles compared to my HTC One X. Head on the screen looks great, but at a slight angle colors get a bit washed out, and at a larger angle the display basically turns dark to light grey when it should be black. I took several comparison pictures of my Nexus 5 and One X below. Both showing the notification screen. The display was set to a comparable brightness.
Anyone else able to compare their screen to another high end device? How are your viewing angles?

Lol, I will receive it tomorrow, I hope It doesn't looks like that. It looks like a cheap chinese phone screen...
It looks like they didn't use an A/TW polarizer on the nexus 5. Same as the nexus 4 and 2012 nexus 7. Its a shame since the nexus 7 2013 does in fact have an A/TW polarizer so doesn't glow off angle especially diagonally like the others do. I personally would have been fine if they just used the exact type of panel from the nexus 7 2013. Same ppi and everything just smaller.
Maybe its a panel lottery? I hope this one is just defective.
For those who don't know what the A/TW polarizer is, it reduces the off angle diagonal glows on IPS panels.
Both h-ips panels, one with a/tw, one without.
The One X by the way actually doesn't use IPS. It uses s-lcd2 which is actually a vertical alignment panel similar to S-PVA.
Very disappointed with the display. God dammit lg. The nexus 7 2013 display is amazing.

All of the reviews have been very positive on the display. Perhaps this is just a defective one as I haven't seen any other reports of issues.

Plus, I really never understood the viewing angle bragging by monitor PC industries. I remember Apple having a whole page in the iMac specs saying that I could view it at 178°. I bought an iMac, and trust me, I never had to watch it at 178° (or 89° on the left/right). In fact, I have the screen standing on my table and my chair is always at the same position...
On the phones it's kind of the same. Plus, they say that the N5 display it's the best one ever seen.
IMAO, the viewing angle can go to hell.
On mine it only happens if tilted on a corner. If tilted back and forth in portrait or landscape the black levels don't wash out.

Yeah, my N5 does have the poor angles as in these pics. In fact I am disappointed with the screen. I think its worse than the n4.
My GFs N4 is just as bad. My 2013 N7 has a much better screen than both.
Maybe you should go back on a Nokia6210...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine is really bad if it's over half brightness, similar to OP, but below half it looks fine like my N4. I've noticed that 1/3 brightness on my N5 is about equal to half brightness on my N4, so it may just be due to a naturally brighter display.
Well as the title says I got brave with some sharpies and added the one last thing I wish Google would have. Pics below. Idk if it will last or wear away or what but figured I'd chance it. So far seems to be holding the ink pretty well and nothing smears or anything since letting it dry a few minutes.

They each got their added bonuses I think. With the black one ya get the nice feel of that soft touch like the nexus 7, which helps with grip. The white one has a nice contrast look between the black n white, but it's white back is slick and I'm afraid I'll drop it without a case.

I'm pleasantly surprised. That looks awesome.
I'd give it a try on my N5, but I've never been good at coloring inside the lines. I'd end up with a rainbow backed Nexus.
Who else was expecting a previously white earpiece? :laugh:

I hate the white speaker. Always makes me think I have a notification and why is the notification light on the bottom of the phone? I always pick up my phone upside down since all the other phones have the notification light at the top. So weird. Maybe I'll sharpie the speaker...
That's exactly why I went through the headache of returning my white one and waiting 3 weeks for a black one to arrive. If I had to look at that white speaker one more day, I was going to hurl. LOVE the white back, but after I put a case on, all I had to was the nasty white speaker to look at. It also too drove me insane thinking it was the notification light.

That looks quite neat. Another more durable possibility could be these oil paint based Sharpies
http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Paint...ffice-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1385141303&sr=1-23
I believe that the Nexus logo is created out of ceramic pieces and those markers are supposed to work on glass, so it should be fine.
Very nice. Will definitely have to give this a try.
And yes I thought thread was a hey look I changed my white ear piece to black. Which I actually like a lot. Don't know why people hate on it.
Ok, Most concepts are FAKE as the following one is. But what do you think about our next Best friend being curved:cyclops:..

It depends on whether Google pays to use that licensed name or not
lets discard the idea that the name is related to size.
Also, I would say that our current Nexus 5 is a very 2014 device since released very late on 2013 (the first nexus 7 was release on July 2012 and 2nd, July 2013).

Im guessing this: 1440P display, 64 bit cpu (not sure exactly), 3gb ram, 13mp camera with ois, android 5.0 or 4.5 w/art as stock & 64 bit support, usb 3.0 (really hope this is in).
Oh, and broken SU...
Nexus devices are already kind of a niche product, it would be stupid to make it either curved or any larger than 5 inches, both of those categories are in the niche categories themselves.
Looks cool but unstable on a table. Needs to be curved the other way IMHO

I agree with you mate forget about the curved screen and concentrate on the rest of the specs like memory capacity for instance 32/64gb built in 3 or 4gb ram better CPU /GPU

Does no one remember that the nexus S was curved. Shape wise, it was nice to hold and pocket. The only thing was the earpiece could be a little uncomfortable as the edge pressed against your ear more, but that is solvable. Of course, the screen was flat and only the body curved.
Some advantages are: placing it on tables etc mean little chance of scoring or scratching the screen; also rear facing speakers are either up face down, or not in contact with the surface face up.
PS the issue with the nexus s was Samsung's cheap, plastic build quality and feel. But the shape was good

Curved phone worked well on the lg flex. T-Mobile showed me the flex he had it in his pocked as its not on sale until next week. The phone is huge! But because of the curve and it really wasn't burdensome. I think from here on out curved phones should be a must for phablets

No curved phone please. Flexible is another thing but for stiff curved I cannot think any preferable reason.

Galaxy S5 has leaked today, a few hours from the UNPACKED event. This will give you an idea of what to expect at the event today.
Not much has changed from S4 in terms of design though, which is a disappointment. And it still looks like it's made out of some type of plastic and not even faux leather!
The UI is a little bit different and is much flatter.
The camera is 16MP. It is yet to be seen if it's the ISOCELL tech. Also, UHD recording is present.
According to calculations done by somebody, the battery is 2800 MAh, and it looks just the same as the one on the Galaxy Round.
There is also a Fingerprint scanner on-board, possibly only a Swipe type which is located on the home button.
Menu key has been replaced with multitask key and there is a weird sensor near the camera flash (iris scanner probably). EDIT: It is a Heart Rate Monitor

It is disappointing to me too. I expected a radically changed design this time around.
It looks worse than Hyperglaze or Faux leather. And the white one looks like Styrofoam.
But maybe there will be a premium "Prime" version too. There are leaks about such a possibility.

Hoping for the same dude. 8 hr 30 mins to go anyways
Hahahahahahaha...
It's getting worse from generation to generation. The charade to be something premium know looks really really cheap.
What do we say to the Galaxy S5? - Not this time Samsung...

They seem to be just throwing in a good SoC, Camera, display and bloatware and not bothering about the build quality!
I stuck with my phone (iPhone 4) since 2010. I really want a new device an I'm waiting for every press event from Samsung, Sony, Apple and others. But the leaked pictures are very disappointing. Again...
My preference is for the Note 3
That design team needs to be fired ASAP. I hope the press this time criticizes negatively Samsung with no mercy.
Ewwwww
Looks like a cheap bath mat you get in a hotel
Seriously ._. That's what it looks like ._. This is where I go hahaha Samsung you piece of crap with Knox and terrible ui lol can they not find ANY better styling!?!?!

Samsung need to hire that Duarte guy from Google. His designs using budget material and costs are amazing. With Samsung's pockets and resources he could design something that would beat an iPhone or HTC in beauty and also have personality, while starting a new design language for future samsung devices.

I'm a hardcore samsung fan, but this is ugly AF. Glad I got the Note 3 and didn't wait for this.
Why does the model says gt 00000

This is one ugly ass phone, even though I'd stick it in a cover I would not be happy buying that phone. Was going to go from my sg3 to this but scratch that, next months HTC is what I'm looking at now.
How hard is it to look at a design or a prototype and see that it looks awful and start again?

this is a question that will never be answered. Some car designs for example are absolutely awful - who comes up with the designs and the fact they actually get mass produced is beyond me.

More of the same. Feels like im reliving the Apple's Keynote Iphone announcements.
