I hope Google manage to slot in more on board storage and not just 8gb or 16gb. That is the very reason why I keep away from Nexus.

nexus phones so far max have 16gb only. bigger storage only on tablet, up to 32gb. pretty reasonable sizing between two type of devices.

So fast open thread rclxub.gif

Btw this Nexus 5 is really pairing Snapdragon 800 and the price is same 2XX-3XX USD, sure is crazy sales then. Spend 2XX USD can get Snapdragon 800 phone, why not deal?

Last time N4 come in at 1650, few bucks cheaper than xperia Zl.

Last time gnex goes so high might as well get moto razr, S3, xperia S, S2.

N7 was seriously overpriced. Only drop slightly when ipad mini come.

hope this time they price it accordingly. So I can finally get a nexus. I don't like feeling cheated paying more for inferior hardware

GNex is still better than any of that, maybe not the S3, but that's because it came out almost 6 months later.

Until now GNex is still performing so well with the latest update, while the rest are forgotten.
If you got any of those phone, I feel sorry for you.

It's the cheapest tablet available with decent quality, how is it overpriced, and "seriously overpriced"? Really?

another update:
LG-D821 (Nexus 5?) spotted at the Bluetooth SIG

my guess is, D820 & D821 might be 1 for US version and another 1 is international version?

Even with s4 pro. N4 got, 720p screen, 8mp camera, with only few bucks cheaper than Zl. Making it not a great buy.

GNex has a pentile screen, 5mp camera. Not that beautiful, not that good battery, weak gps signal. It may has the latest OS and that is the only selling point. But If one went ahead and put Aosp on those devices, people still got better usability out of those hardware with the latest software..


N7 WAS also been jack up so much by Asus. I felt like being cheated. But the good news is Sammy finally bring N10 here with an awesome RM849 price tag! Not bad Sammy.

Off course, my only criteria for comparison is nothing more than usability vs $$$. But u get the point.

I hope the N5 would come at an awesome price point. Don't overpriced it. It can be done. As even apple also sell ipad here few cent cheaper than in the US.

ZL came out how many months after Nexus 4? Again, almost 5 months. Nexus 4 was having one of the best hardware when it first launched. Plus, ZL is going to be another forgotten phone anyway, while Nexus 4 is going to be constantly updated with the latest OS.

I disagree that Gnex is "not that beautiful". GNex has a minimalist black monolith front design, devoid of any branded logo, making it the one of the best looking device imo. Any form of logo in the front just makes it unbearable for me now ever since Nexus design is available. It's just the right thing to do to put user experience above own brand awareness.

Battery, mine is fine even after 2 years of usage without changing battery, 3 hours+ on screen time, one day+ battery life with casual usage. Don't see the problem with its battery. Where do you even get the weak GPS signal? I have no problem using the GPS. The only complain I would have is the average camera, but still gets the job done provided there are sufficient lights, as it perform quite badly in low lights.

N7 2012 was expensive probably due to the import fees if you're one of the early birds. Now you can get it quite cheaply, and it still is a better tablet than most.

Everyone is hoping for a lower price, of course, that includes me, but don't assume it has inferior hardware just because of its lower price point. In fact, one of the reason Nexus 4 is awesome is due to its price:spec ratio nod.gif

Yup, that's that. It come so much latter, being marketed as a luxury item and being sold just slightly higher than N4. I'm glad u like your GNex but I don't find it prices worthwhile nor competitive with others. I'm not saying it bad, maybe the gps, camera, battery and data connection is a bit lower than competitive products. I never say it an inferior hardware because of it low prices. They sell at about the same price level of the competitor who put better hardware.

As far as I know. There's no import duties on tablets. Apple price it products fairly here. It just Asus decided to jack it up by RM300. That's what then. Now seems Asus learn it mistake and my purchase of it vivobook is about the same as what they sold overseas. So I do hope LG would do too for it nexus 5.

nexus is a great product I won't denies that. But still not the best bang for the bucks, at least to me.
