Here's what I came up with :

I thought to keep the design a lil bit similar to Nexus 4 xD
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.

As its rumored that Android KitKat's gonna have a new UI with many visual changes (don't know if its true or not), I didn't had a single idea about how it would look (I lack imagination ..that my dwarback :| )

I think it will be called as Nexus 4 2013 instead of Nexus 5.
as same happens with nexus 7 2013.

That would be logical if they decide to keep the screen size in the 4" range.

And in this case the leaked screen size is 4.95", so it is logical.

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.

GS4 owner just got a Nexus 5, and its great

The Nexus 5 looks big in pictures but is actually smaller than my galaxy s4 with a very thin case on the G4. And the Nexus doesn't need a case because the back is is rubbery and grippy, beautiful! Also, it feels absolutely premium in terms of build quality and materials.
The screen is brilliant, bar none the best I've ever seen. And better than my iPhone 5.
The camera shutter sound is very subtle, in fact I'll keep it on
The navigation keys are a lot closer so it's a lot easier to use one handed.
Speaker phone is awesome: loud and clear.
Needless to say the phone overall is as fast as all hell.
Nexus 5 screen is vastly easier to read in direct sunlight
Where does the Galaxy s4 beat the Nexus? So far all I've found is the speaker volume, which seems to be a little low when playing videos. That and the replaceable battery and memory card slot.
Its my first day with the Nexus 5, and so far, so good.
Just thought I'd give a little feedback for those of you who are on the fence about switching. I have both at the moment, but my S4 may soon be on Craigslist.

Hows the camera
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I've only taken a hand full of photos, but so far the camera looks very good. Plenty of detail and great white balance.

I've been considering switching as well - but there's a few things that keep me on the fence. The S4 has AMOLED (which I prefer to IPS, but subjective) and removable battery/microsd. And the battery is larger on the S4.
But as the other user asked, how is the camera? Apparently it's not as good due to flawed software, but there IS image stabilization. Hmm...

When you put the Nexus 5 next to the galaxy s4 with both at full brightness , the Galaxy looks muted, fuzzy, dim. Take your phone to a Best Buy or Sprint store and have a look for yourself.
And here is one of my first few snapshots.

Was thinking about switching myself, but I've heard mixed things about the camera. I'd have to test it myself in person before I could make a decision

I used to get all anal about about the cameras too until I realize that all I ever use the snaps for is Facebook. I have real cameras for when I get serious.

Good to know.
I recieve mine tomorrow. It's been real S4 gang. Great community here and I'm hoping the Nexus 5 community is as wonderful!

There's already a thread for other devices discussion.

Perhaps you got a lucky phone or your just so happy to get a new phone you look past the defects but according to this thread and what ive been reading over in the nexus forums i dont think theres ever been a phone thats had this many problems out the box. If i was LG i would seriously be concerned bc i think there gona be seeing thousands of units returned
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509455

I just glanced at that thread and looks for the most part like people being super anal about non issues. But hey, if you get a bad one, send it back. Right?

meh...I was really into the phone at first and was considering selling my S4, but after reading a bunch of reviews and people's opinions on it...it seems meh and I'll just stick with the S4 for now. Went to the Nexus forums and nothing but fanboys in there jumping on anybody that says anything bad about the phone and trying to defend their purchase.

Ha ha, that's the way it goes, right?
Anyway, here are a few more shots from the camera, and then I am off this topic. Good luck everyone.

And here are the few more snaps I shot with the Nexus.
The saturation is a bit over the top at default settings, but otherwise they look good to me.

I was thinking of selling my S4 for the nexus..until I seen a smaller battery. Specs mean nothing if it doesn't turn on.

Time will tell about the battery life. Some have said it's so so, and others have said it last for days between charges.

I might get the nexus. But with the wobbly buttons. Non removable battery and no Sim slot. Plus dead pixels and light leakage among other problems that's kind of scary for a phone that's just been release

Which phone is a worthy opponent to the note 4?

Between all the flagship phablets released in 2014, what do you think is the most worthy opponent to the Note 4 to be considered before you go and buy the note 4.
I am evaluating my options here, and considering other phones like the LG G3 beside the Note 4.
Share what do you think is a worthy opponent to the note 4.

In terms of the Note 3 Zero.
No SPen = no competitors.
None are in the same class in terms of multi app usage either.

I'm considering a Z3, and if an HTC M8 Maxx was out, I would consider that too...My wife's G3 is a pretty nice phone as well.
If a stylus is important to you, then obviously there is NO competition..

The way I see it we have four options
1) a worthy oponent to the note 4 would be another colour of the note 4, say you have a black one then a white one would be a worthy oponent.
2) a note edge maybe
3) a note 3
4) if you dont want to spend so much money that is then the oneplus one.
These are my opinions.

There are no opponents to the note line to be totally honest.
I see xda site got a facelift.

i dont have any personal grudge against that phone, but the poor display talks for itself

There's nothing comparable when it comes to display. Displaymate says its the best mobile display ever. The closest is probably the iPhone 6+ 1080p display if you don't count the QHD which most people don't care about, and it is a distant second. That's what you get when you are the only ones with modern OLED tech on a phone.
Nothing comparable to the Snapdragon 805 of the Exynos either. I mean, literally there are no 805 phones yet and definitely no 20nm Exynos phones which is, again, a Samsung exclusive.
S-Pen and wacom digitizer. Of course no one has it.
Camera nothing is comparable. All those crappy Chinese phablets use the same 13MP sensor with terrible software processing. The Vibe Z2 Pro supposedly has the same 16MP OIS sensor, but I've seen more than a few reviews of it and the quality really sucks. Software does a whole lot, and the glass and camera unit they built the sensor into is likely not that great either. LG G3 isn't very sharp and their low light shots are very overexposed. and blur easy because they rely heavily on the OIS. Xperia Z2/Z3 is low contrast, underexposed, noisy, poor colors, and very inconsistent. It has no OIS either. The only superior cameras are iPhone 6/6+ for nightshots, and Nokia Pureview cameras. Basically nothing can compete with the Note 4 in Android. Android just really sucks with cameras in general.

another none here, but come to think of it little more, Note 3 is actually the only opponent. Others have no stylus and therefore not in the same class, Note 2 is little outdated. I know it's bad since my choices for phone are limited to 2 models, but I refuse to have phone without stylus.

Nexus 6 discussion thread

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

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 ???

Who copied who google or apple?

Hey guys I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the general discussion thread but I'm very curious to know who exactly copied who's design? I mean the iPhones and pixel 4s that came out last year just seem like somebody copied somebody's design lol. I tried googling this but couldn't find anything at all on this. So I'm wondering if some experts here have the inside scoop! Blast away on this please!! And which design you guys think is better down to the quality of the build the textures etc.

iPhone looks nothing like the pixel. I don't get why people say it
Front looks completely different, one has a notch and one doesn't
Only thing similar on the back is a square module but the design of it is completely different

And ... [yawn] ... why does it matter to you?

Who cares

Doesn't matter but the first iPhone 11 image/design leak was January 6, 2019 and the first Pixel 4 XL image/design leak was June 10, 2019.

As Pixel 4 owners, we understand that they're two different phones but the average consumer sees glass back with black square camera array in the top left corner so they're similar. Put a case on either and you can't blame someone for mistaking one for the other.
