Nexus 5 to be first smartphone with MEMS camera: fastest on a phone, Lytro like functionality
Source: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexus-5-to-...onality_id47900

However, we find it unlikely that the Nexus 5 would feature a MEMS camera from DigitalOptics, for several reasons:

- The log file only contains a reference to “IMX179”, which is the Sony-made sensor equipping some versions of DigitalOptics’ mems|cam camera modules. But other camera module makers may use the same Sony sensor. In fact, the recently launched Meizu MX3 is equipped with an IMX179 sensor, but we couldn’t find any reference to it featuring a DigitalOptics MEMS camera.

- According to a DigitalOptics press release from August, production of the mems|cam will ramp in Q4 2013, with “high volume capacity” to be added in 2014. The Nexus 5 is expected to launch this month.

- MEMS cameras are relatively expensive – the price is $25 per module for a batch of 10,000 units. For comparison, the Note 3’s 13MP camera is estimated to cost about $15. While that may not seem like much, keeping the cost of the Nexus 5 in check is probably a big concern for Google.

We can’t rule out this report as 100 percent incorrect, but for now, we think it’s just a case of wishful thinking.

was wondering that as well..

are we entitled to claim GST if we get the Aussie nexus 5? (assuming were currently in aussie and will be coming back to malaysia)

see the keyword " and imported into australia" means something like you purchase from amazon, ebay and bla bla .... but australia Play store is australia base, that different story

If you wish to claim a refund, you must get an original tax invoice from the store where you buy the goods. All stores registered for GST will be able to give you a tax invoice. A refund cannot be given without it.

A tax invoice prominently states the words 'tax invoice' and the Australian Business Number (ABN) of the retailer, the purchase price including the GST paid, a description of the goods, the name of the retailer and the date the purchase was made.

For ordering from Aus, I used my Malaysian credit card and just put my Aus address as the billing address.. no issues.

I also managed to get Google to issue me the tax invoices. This can be quite troublesome as I had to send emails back and forth, since they were requesting irrelevant info before agreeing to issue me the invoices.

Hopefully I won't encounter any problems at the airport with the tax invoices, since it shows Google's Singapore address, but the ABN is stated there and Australian GST was paid..
