Nexus 5 Pre-Release/Speculation Thread

Those leaks are just prototypes of the phone and and early build of 4.4. I mean its great to see an actual video but this thing needs to be announced already.

Yeah I'd like some for sure info on the price, and to see the final product!

Yes I agree, yet I'm already in too deep, I'm an addicted geek.

It's only money

So what's the max people are willing to pay for this phone given the rumored specs?

In my mind the screen size makes it more one-hand friendly than the Note 3, it has the same CPU as the Note 3, and will run stock Android. I'd probably still buy it even if it was $600 like all other contract phones.

$400 bucks is my cap, and that's pushing it lol.

$349 for 32gb version...................no more...lol

450$ after tax for 32 GB.

Though I probably will be getting the 16 GB, in which case, 400$.

Any lower is just icing on the cake.

Anyone else see a nexus commercial this morning? I was watching ABC around 7:45 and turned around to catch the very end of a Nexus commercial...For a split second I saw the moving lights for the Nexus background and then a white screen that google.com/nexus. It wasn't that commercial for the Nexus 7 with the kid who gives a speech either, I know what that sounds like after hearing it 10000 times.

I want to know is, is it true about the memory/mAH differences
(i.e. 16GB 2300 mAH/32GB 3000mAH)

That's what is going to sell me not the storage size. GB I can work around, more mAH is where it's at!

I wouldn't count on the 3000mAh battery rumor. We've seen no concrete evidence to this point regarding it, just a random rumor that was repeated all over the blogosphere which couldn't be substantiated.

I didn't think so, but one can dream.

Also, what is this CAT4 cert.? Is that technically LTE-A or something else? I was confused about that.

I don't like it's LTE-A. I think LTE-A is cat 6, 7, or 8. But it does mean that it has the ability to pull faster LTE speeds than most current generation phones. I know in the Note 3 forum that some people are reporting being able to pull faster speeds than their previous phones, which could mean that it has this as well.

My prediction is it won't come out tomorrow. Nexus 5 and Kit Kat will come out on the 31st. Perfect for Halloween.

I feel like it would be a wise decision to do pre-orders this time! I don't want to go thru the headache I went thru to get my Nexus 4 again..

I agree. But we have no idea if that will happen or not. Even if it does happen, pre-orders could turn into a mess.

I believe that they may unveil it today, not for purchase until the end of the month.

I have still yet to see the Android kitkats. Fingers crossed.

 

[jhawkkw]

I've lost most of my faith in the unveil today since there are still no reports of press invites being received

It didn't tip you off last week that no one got invites?

They usually get a week for the invites. So they can make plans for travel...

 

[drbugsmn]

an interesting look at what not to expect. One of the comments claims that the typical new device post time is 9am pst.
