LG Manufactured Nexus 5 And Nexus 7.7 Will Reportedly Be Announced In May At GoogleIO

The turn of the year always brings with it new found excitement about the potential hardware and software that we are likely see introduced from the likes of Apple, Samsung and Google. It also marks the start of the countdown to events like Apple’s WWDC and Google’s I/O conference, both of which take place in the Bay Area at the Moscone Center. We won’t find out exactly what both companies have in store for us during their respective events, but early reports are suggesting Google could be planning on announcing information and technical specifications of two new Nexus branded devices.
Last year’s Google I/O event saw the world being introduced to the iOS version of the Google Chrome web browser as well as the unveiling of the ASUS manufactured Nexus 7 tablet and the Nexus Q social streaming media player that never actually made it to the public. The latest reports suggest that Google is planning to continue the trend of making hardware based announcements by unveiling another LG manufactured smartphone called the Nexus 5 as well as medium market tablet called the Nexus 7.7, also produced by LG.
This year’s I/O conference is set to take place in May in familiar surroundings at Moscone Center West. The Korean based report is suggesting that exhaustive information about the hardware won’t be made available until the event itself, but also suggests that the Nexus 5 will come with a 5-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and an impressive pixel density of 440 pixels-per-inch. A NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor complete with 2GB of on-board RAM could also be bundled with the hardware.
The Nexus 7.7 is speculated to run the same processor as the smaller smartphone, also with 2GB of RAM. The 7.7-inch display will reportedly come with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and be available in either 8GB or 16GB variants. Both sets of hardware are expected to come pre-installed with Android 5.0 when they launch. Although no pricing details for the Nexus 7.7 were included in the initial reports; it is being suggested that the Nexus 5 device could launch with a $299 price-tag for the 8GB model, which would put it into the same pricing structure as the current Nexus 4 smartphone.
As is always the case with speculation of this nature, we won’t really know the intention of Google until the event is right at our nose, but it would certainly be a welcome announcement during I/O.

No offense. But Redmond Pie is a kind of laughing stock when it comes to Android news and speculations. I've been following them for years and have realized that they like to take vague rumors and small news and speculate,, until it gets blown out of proportion. They will then post with a very catchy title to draw viewers.

This. If the next nexus comes larger than 4.85 then I'm out. Unless they remove the bottom bezel. Because the nexus 4 has a smaller screen than the galaxy s2 (from the bottom of the notification bar to the top of the navigation bar) too much bezel on top and bottom. If they can optimize the space, maybe I will get a 5" but the note 2 was ridiculous, had to shift my hand to swipe away a notification

I might be missing something here; genuine question.
Why would anybody pay US$12 for your card reader and then wait at least three months to receive the device, when they can buy something nearly identical today and get a free USB to MicroUSB adapter, all for US$5.60 including shipping?
http://www.kawau.com.cn/cn/ProductView.asp?ID=260
http://dx.com/s/c310.html?sort=Price
Is it as simple as that yours is just slightly smaller? (You don't provide dimensions, but a US quarter is approximately one inch in diameter, so it looks like your dimensions are probably about 0.8 x 0.8 inch, versus their 1.5 x 0.8 inch).
Or are you expecting your reader to offer higher throughput and/or lower power consumption than theirs, as well? What can you say about sustained read / write rates, and power consumption?
I'm genuinely curious why I would buy this. If it's just a matter of size, the difference in size is little enough that it seems unimportant, especially given it's double the cost and probably triple the time spent waiting. If it's a matter of significantly greater speed or lower power consumption though, I could see it being worthwhile.

Obviously we developed our solution*interdependently. We believe our design is better. Pretty much for any problem in this world, there are multiple solutions -- like buying smart phones, some people buy iPhones some buy Samsung Galaxy phones and yet others buy Google Nexus phones. We offer a solution to a real problem many people have. People have the freedom to choose whatever solution they like, we just offer them one more option.

I asked about this on Kickstarter. They said right now, it doesn't block, but it is very close... If the plug for your headphone cord is thick (as all plugs have some variance in design) it might not work.
But he did tell me they're looking at possible work arounds or modifications to help with this...

Motorola X Phone or Nexus 4, which one would you prefer?

People say that Moto X Phone will drop in Aug., equipped a Dual-Core CPU, Clear-Pixle camera, and a Big battery which can let you using it for over 2 days. As the Nexus 4 has overheat problem, and a poor battery, easy smash glass back... which one would you prefer.
Actually my Nexus 4 can handle two days' usage, but it is really hot at sometimes. I would prefer Moto X phone, if it will be available soon..

Two things:

I'd need to see the reviews once it's released to make any judgements on it over the N4.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I'd say the decision comes down to what the real specs and details are when it's all officially announced. If it's vanilla Android with Moto widgets as a bonus- it will be interesting.
With Google/Motorola looking at spending a TON on marketing for this phone; it's hard to imagine Google allowing Moto to release something that won't grab a lot of people's attention.
Also, where it's being sold can be a factor for Nexus 4 owners. If it's carrier only I won't buy it. If it's through Play Store then we're getting closer to raising my interest.

I think I would stick with the Nexus. I don't like the button placement on that phone, I like the flat slab feel of the Nexus, curved phones tend to feel funny to me, glass > plastic, Nexus has a quad core where the X is said to have a dual core, etc.

LTE, better camera, better battery, and a better looking phone.... It is hard to stick with the N4 after the Moto X is released. It's rumored to have the same price as the N4 and considering it is being sold on the Play Store, it is clearly going to have a stock experience.

Easily the Moto X. Smart Actions are awesome imo. I always like Moto's build quality too. Their cameras are average. I should've bought a Moto Atrix HD over the Nexus 4 myself. The LTE will be active on the Moto X. I am preparing to sell my Nexus 4 for the Moto X or S4 in the next few weeks. The Nexus 4 is flawed because the digitzer is visible on each device, the camera is not great at all, the phone overheats too much, the battery is not as good as other devices like the S3. Outside of those issues, the phone is a good overall product. You cannot have everything for $330 (after tax and shipping.) The Moto X will have a slightly faster processor (might be dual core, but still faster, 1.7 dual > 1.5 quad even though dual will be overworked a bit more), the camera will be a lot better at 10 MP, the build quality will be better, the OLED display will help, the battery should be a RAZR Maxx HD style battery at like 3100 mAh, LTE like said before, customization on the build quality and design of your choice, and you can always put a rom like CM10 on it.

Does your Nexus 5 screen have bad viewing angles like mine? (Pictures inside)

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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
