I mean the Galaxy Mega had a 6.3 inch screen, and the Xperia Z Ultra had a 6.4 inch screen! They should've made it atleast 6.5 inches, I mean come on, we are in 2015 now Motorola -_-
Really did you just create this pointless thread
I can't handle anything black over 6"
Why stop at 6.5", what are you some sort of filthy casual?
C00lBeanz I couldn't agree more!

if I could +1 that comment, I would :highfive:
As much as I love phablets and would probably be ok with a super slim (almost no bezel) 7 inch phone. I think jumping to 6 when the majority of previous nexus users(at least what I see on XDA) seem to complain about the size. I remember when I had the Nexus s briefly in 2013 people, there were people saying they wouldn't even upgrade to a gnex because it was "too big" I am almost positive Google wanted a big phone to push more smart watches. Or at least that was at least a factor.
I think from a business standpoint making a 5.5 inch phone similar size to G3 would acclimate nexus users to a slightly bigger screen.
That being said having a shamu size phone was a big selling point for me
I was a bit put off by the size at first. But after using it for 2 weeks, other phones feel tiny. When I hold my wife's Nexus 5, I'm amazed at how I ever used a phone that "small". Then I held a friends iPhone 4 - What is that?? A phone for ants??
I think this size is big enough for me. Any larger and I can't comfortably put it in my back jeans pocket.

HTC has by far the best phones in terms of materials. Samsung is all plastic, I would much rather have an all Aluminium body. LG is...well I think we all know what LG is right now... so they're out.
And don't forget Nexus will be Open Source no matter who makes it! I'm excited about this phone, I wonder what Ice Cream Sandwich is like.
Cheers
HTC will no longer lock their bootloader... it will be open season or custom rom developers
That picture looks incredibly photoshopped.
You sure it's legit?
i don't think that is a believable photo

Idk. But its a discussion for the nexus 3
Sure samsung,is plasticy, but, if they change it to a more metallic body the hardware is the best! Voodoo sound, super amoled 2, dual core 1.5 ghz, 4.3" screen, android ice cream, 10 mega pixel camera and I'm in mobile paradise

Hmmm, i still think. LG will make nexus 3. the picture is Fake. i work at google and im hearing buzz inside the office about what will be the next nexus.
and if ever the buzzes are not true...
PLs. no samsung!
i dont like their plastic slippery and weird looking phones.
the last time i had a samsung phone, i was so mad at it i broke the screen because of the terrible laggy UI.. cough*galaxy s*
HTC but pls no samsung!!
Uhh... Look! The new iNexus!
Looks too much like the 3GS to be real.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
i don't care who makes it aslong as it has a quadcore processor
why? you might ask, what is there to gain with a quadcore processor?
nothing! but bragging to friends with the fact that their phones only have 1 core and then making outrageous statements that your phone is by definition is 4x as fast as theirs sounds find to me
I think google can't stay with one manufacturer cause maybe it would be unfair for the rest.

Yeah - thats defo not a HTC phone, they would never make such a blunt copy of the iPhone 3g - would have Apple suing them big time.
As far as I see it, thats nothing but a photoshopped iphone 3g/3gs
I can't help but feel I am imagining the washed out effect I see on my N7, perhaps I am just too used to the amoled saturation. Thought pictures of my N7 looking like others would help me feel better about it. Feel free to show if yours looks any different! Of course now that I'm looking at the pic I just took it doesn't show much difference, but in person it does.
Both at 75% brightness:

I'm personally happy with the screen on the Nexus7. You can't compare it to a Super AMOLED+ screen though. The latter is much better quality with a higher contrast ratio.
I do notice some light bleeding around the edge, but I can live with that. Watching movies, everything looks great.
No point in other people posting pictures of their Super AMOLED phones vs Nexus 7.
AMOLED = Much more vivid colors.
And yes, the Nexus 7 will look 'washed out'
Why is it that this tablet is the least expensive contender on the market and the screen is NOT better than the highest end most expensive table screen?

hah, it is an ipad camera...does suck indeed. I just wanted a little reassurance that it's normal, all good. I'm cool with it, just wanted to make sure I'm in the norm. Have no one around to compare to.
This tablet is the perfect size for a phone.
I hope you're just high and being funny, I would never have this size phone, I think 5.3" is the cut off. For most even that's too big.

Once I get my I'm Watch the 7 will go in my bag and the watch on my wrist. Problem Solved. :]
Whenever I switch from the Nexus 7 to my Galaxy Nexus, I always think how did my phone shrink? My phone feels tiny now.
4 inches big enough for phone .
I have tha acer a500 10 inch tablet i hope i do not miss the screen size as much as i hate not fitting my tablet in my Purse.. And as far as phone size for my hands 4 inch is cut off size.. NOTHING BIGGER THEN THAT In For me ..
I feel the same way. My nexus feels like a toy now. I could definitely use this tablet as a phone (via BT).
It was awkward using the tablet for the free 10.00 they give in wallet though.
Wonderful as a speakerphone with Google Voice + Groove IP over WIFI while being able to do other things on it at the same time like booking Google Flights, watching Transformer although it's smart enough to mute the movie sound, etc.
Regarding the size. It makes my 4" Samsung Epic 4G really tiny switching from Nexus 7.
There are pre-existing threads discussing/debating the merits of various sizes of device, if you have anything constructive to add then you should do so in one of them.
And next time, search before posting.

The phone was still 4 inches but it looked slightly wider, also the glass appeared to be bending on the edges like our nexus 4 does. The front facing camera was also a little bigger. The back was just one straight color it didn't have that two different material thing going on. And it was running ios7. The apple logo in the back was covered up but you can see the fcc and serial numbers etc. He didn't let me touch it or take pictures. Keep in mind I could have been super trolled with a Chinese knock off but it looked pretty legit.

Sorry but that is BS. If they release the 5S in the fall, it will be the exact same dimensions of the 5. Otherwise none of the accessories will work. And like past releases, no one is allowed to carry a prototype device without it being in a case that makes it completely indistinguishable from the previous version. Plus, this is a Nexus 4 forum, not a iPhone forum.
inb4 a bunch of "This is a forum about the Nexus 4! Quit posting about other phones!" posts, then eventual closing of this thread
That said, This is a forum about the Nexus 4! Quit posting about other phones!

Hi! So i have a nephew who is about 1yr 4 months old, and he loves playing with my phone and my N7 tablet. Of course he does ocassionally get very emotional and sometimes is very rough with his toys so he would sometime toss my phone or tablet.
I was thinking of getting him a nice tablet he could play with and interact and just learn how to work with technology at a young age. I have looked around a bit and i saw some like the NAVI and some other really cheap looking vtec ones.
Im looking for something that is pretty tough, will last at least a year. and preferably runs android ICS+ in a child friendly manner.
I was hoping you guys (those of you with children) could give me some great recommendations.
My main three citeria are: Price ( cheaper the better ) , Toughness, and OS.

But seriously, a Nexus 7 or Note 8 in a Seidio or Otterbox case would be safe, plus you can keep them out of all settings via root.
