I mean what was Google thinking...
6 inches for f***s sake. 5" was good enough, you could've taken it to 5.5" but 6 is just straight pain. Everything is so awesome and then you have many reasons not to upgrade to nexus 6 like 10.1 mm thickness the motorola logo on the back so big killing the grace of Nexus logo and of course the 6" giant display. We needed a phone and not a phablet.

agreed but looking at our Nexus 5. Form + function Like a boss
Without the funtionality of the Note series 6" is overkill for most but damn does is look sexy.. I hop Lollipop includes funtionalitt with stylus build in. One of the ads ha a nice ass looking stylus lying next to it.
Do we really need a separate thread for Nexus 6 that too in a Nexus 5 Forum?
don't like it? don't buy it. seems pretty simple to me

I know and the purpose of this thread is Nexus 5 users' opinion on the phone.
The size is not the problem, the size of the price tag is. Damn, I can't even tell you how disappointed I am... Moto X 2014 GPE for me.
too big, too ugly, too much
Current Nexus 4 owner here who will not be buying the Nexus 6. I agree too big and too pricey. I only hope they continue to sell the Nexus 5 (32GB Black currently out of stock). That's the only phone I want to purchase now. Would have been nice if Google did a slight refresh of the Nexus 5 to sell to users who don't want a mammoth phone. If they had taken the Moto X and added Qi charging and called it the Nexus 5 (2014) I'd be ecstatic.
Beastly phone. It's such a shame it's so big, in my opinion.
Phablet users get to rejoice. Everyone else, not so much. Such a shame there's no updated Nexus 5.
Looks like I'm going to save some money. Too big, way more expensive and doesn't come in black. Not tempted at all in buying this and ditching my N5.
It comes in pints? I'm getting one!
OK so quick question. Preorders start for this at the end of the month. Does anybody know if I will be charged as soon as I pre-order or if I won't be charged until it ships?

until it's official, it's just a guess, but as with the the other Nexus devices in the play store, you never got charged before it actually shipped.

Yeah that is what I was basing it on. How that's how it goes with nexus 6
Too many other options in that price range with the play editions out there. I would have bought it around $100-$150 more, but IMO its not worth $250 more. I'm staying with the 5 and probably buying a few more of those if they go on sale for my wife and kids.
Google missed the mark on this one, I guess they want us to help out for paying too much for Motorola...
I will wait for the device on display and compare before I buy it (maybe not), the size does concern me, the thickness (1cm) and weighs 50 grams more
www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6604&idPhone2=5705
Talking to my importer has 2 demo units, too bad wwe don't live near by, would of got some photos, will see if he will take some pics
The size is good for me but dat price ???

So I sent my Nexus7 back....what happens to the £15 play store credit?
I purchased it from Dixons and not google directly. Does anyone know what happens to this credit?
(p.s. for those interested in why I sent it back, simply put its a pile cow dung. No competition to the iPad)

Hopefully they take it back.
You do realize its meant to be a Kindle Fire killer right? Although personally, the iPad sucks compared to the Nexus 7.
Anyway, since its linked to your Google Account, you probably keep it.

Seriously? Regardless I think this tablet is much better than any iPad I've used. (Maybe not the IPad 3). But still the software crushes.

I heard they are fixing this/catching up to the rest of the world in iOS 6, but FFS...you do two things in e-mail. Type message and send ****. Took Apple till 2012 to figure that out?
That's just one of about 500 issues as to why the iPad sucks worse than the G1 running Donut. Let's not even bring the Nexus 7 into the picture...that's just not fair for Apple.

Its all subjective my friend. I like the iPad a lot, but I also like the n7 a lot. Its a different type of like. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. To me its Apples and Oranges.
Whoever called this an iPad killer, felt that a 7inch display is all they want and need in a tablet. Some people want that retina display and 10" screen for movies and photo editing. Some want the n7 for reading and browsing. Its all subjective and built for two different needs. For the money, I believe the n7 is great. A little problem here and there is common in almost all electronic devices.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.
Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.
I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.
Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.
No LTE
It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!
Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59
2.You can pay with Paypal, Western Union/Credit card.
Thanks for your requirement.

hey, for unlocked (decent) smartphone this is a freakin great deal. for someone who wasnt as big a phone geek as myself it would be an incredible device. i dont care how "bad" the proccessor is, dollars to value wise this is amazing. nice find.
Damn, i accidentally dropped on to the tile floor and landed on the corner... R.I.P. (2012-2013) my trusty N7. Now i am facing a new problem: a new tablet. I am tempted to buy an ipad as it may partially replace my laptop on certain school days. however the 32gb grouper is only $250 here, also a good buy. what should i do?

You can buy 32gb Groupers for $199 now since most places are lowering them, I guess, in preparation for the new model.
I have a brand new 32gb sitting in a box downstairs. I guess I'll sell both and buy a new one, if its worth it.

Because apple is better. NO. Because here in Australia good android tablets are as hard to find as it is easy to find iPads. There really aren't many choices things like n10 is just to complicated to obtain. That's why, if I am given a CHOICE, I will choose android every time, but here there isn't any choices.

Which iPad? The 4 is hardly a bad tablet-- I was thinking of trading in my iPad 3 (the performance bump from the 3 to the 4 is really quite nice), but ultimately didn't have time to go in today and the promotion is over. Honestly, I like it more than any of my Android tablets because the thing is rock solid no matter what, but I do a lot of my tinkering on my Android tabs so it's at least partially my fault.
I would wait and acquire the nexus 7 second generation.

I am not gonna answer your question since i am not sure whether or not this is a prank thread. Even your budget is dodgy.. $ 512?? what a specific number... Is that 1 buck for every ram in OB?
Anyway i'll give you my opinion about Nexus 5, so that you can make a comparison, on a chance that you are serious about this. Nexus 5 will most likely be manufactured by LG, based on the monster G2. LG is better hardwarewise speaking, but lacks in all other things.
(Off topic it is said that Korean G2 will have SD car slot and removable battery, but international version won't. Another .tupid LG decision. I was searching a replacement from LG for OB, and i came across a phone of theirs which doesn't have "flash". Who puts a camera without flash. As i said best hardware poor everything else)

I had to pee today after I drank coffee, and then I had some toast. Today is a good day.
heres your answer
The screen sizes are identical but Google uses the bottom portion for its on screen controls so the screen area ends up being about 3/8" shorter than the S4, just saying that's all, maybe not everyone realises
So you think a $600 is better than a $300 phone? okay...
