Thanks buddy
Great innovation: dimming screen to a lower brightness.
Did it really take sooooo much? REALLY?! AMOLED screens are used since the S2, and in those screens pixels are dimmed to zero brightness independently from each other in order to achieve black.
Being able to use the LTE and wifi at the same time for double the data speed? Oh hell yes. That might sell it for me right there.
I'm sure i can check my heartbeat on my nexus5 using the flash and camera, it's nothing new.
Overall, not impressive enough to warrant an upgrade..i'll wait for the note4 or new nexus
WTF?
No word on core specs like processor, material??!?
"We are listening!" ...come on....where is the metal, where is the innovative design.....cheap ass "glam look" with perforated something....I dunno....gotta let this show work in my head...by I am not thrilled....

Exactly, don't even have the decency to put the specs up at the end
That was the most unemotional event I have ever seen. Huge disappointment.

Snapdragon 800, 2 gigs ram, soft touch plastic like the nexus 7 2012.
Can someone post the recording of the event. I am disappointed but still wanna see how they presented it.

Maybe the screen isn't that bad compared to the new super amoled plus on the galaxy s2?
Epic fail...
I need at least 11 point multitouch.... 10 fingers + nose.
They might as well not make a phone at all if it only has 10 point multitouch :-(

ISP LCD vs Super Amoled Plus.
That isn't even fair.
Super Amoled's already beat it.
Super Amoled Plus just destroys it.
But you all forget that the Galaxy S series support unlimited touches!!! D:

Galaxy S has 5 point multitouch... If the limitation is in the software or the hardware is not really relevant.
Because more than 5 points multi touch is needed on a phone?

Or the sony ericsson x10 mini pro who has a multitouch driver but the licence is only limited to singletouch.hardware is fine but it will not or can not be supported. Having a 10 or unlimited touch screen does not really matter at all its what is supported by the company what counts.

The website is here, and that link seen being clicked in the video is "Technical Specifications"
Also, there is a point in the video at 1:45 when the page returns the message "Your search has not returned any result" in the German language.. then the fake page is shown
Mind you, that "iPhone 5" in the video looks exactly like the Samsung Galaxy S2 - I see a court case on the horizon!

I'm guessing it's one of the earlier production models, not the latest revision. All of the review models have been different.

Even Chris Pirillo fell for that 'lag' exercise/flicking the screen when showing the N4 versus iPhone...I'm like..HELLO! WHO the f uses their phone that way!?! No one. Period. It's a stupid exercise that proves nothing. Compare the units in NORMAL navigation, and you MIGHT detect smoother operation, but I detect it as SLOWER operation.

Google Nexus 5 review - on my blog.
Received today my unit.
First impression is great, phone is really fast, no lag at the moment.
I have compared the screen with Note 3 and white looks whiter than on Note 3. On Note 3 has yellow pigment.
S Pen got some new functions and it is really precise.
At the moment I am discovering new functions and all.
If you have any questions just ask.
hi, I suppose it comes with Evernote pre-installed... does it come with one year of premium subscription, too? Thanks

Does the phone have build quality issues like being able to fit a business card between the screen edge and the body?
I looked at one at Best Buy today and there were no spaces between the glass and the edge. I think someone just got a messed up unit.

Nope, there is no build quality issue and there is no gap betwen screen and body.
I can post pictures if you want.
Try to squeeze it and see if it laggs . Make that multi task burn! LOL
Try to use like 7 apps at the same time.
Also does the gallery app have a delay openning? And the phone dialer when you tap on contacts in my s3 it needs 3 seconds to show the contacts...is it the same for n4?

Running like 8-9 apps, tried switching between them and it is fast. No lag at the moment.
About the gallery. It opens it instantly but it takes few seconds to liad the photos. Until then it is white screen with blue bar on top
Phone dialer has no lag, it opens instantly and it is ready to use the same second. Same goes for contacts, no lag.
Battery life, to soon to judge but on this charge it took 12% to get 47 minutes screen on. It was moderate usage.
I must say, samsung keyboard is bad. Screen is big but typing is not so good. Will change keyboard for Android L.
Ram usage is 1.5 gb in normal.
And I have disabled few apps like facebook, instagram, ets.
And device is dying for DPI change.

There's no mention of UV sensor, oxygen sensor or even the heart rate sensor... the "device layout" goes flash, but doesn't mention the sensor right next to the flash... do those sensors work on your device??? There was speculation that Samsung would have problems getting the Note 4 to pass through certification if it's a medical device (those heart and oxygen sensors).
