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

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.

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

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

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.
*
Yes I do agree GNex is a bit too expensive at the time, but still I'd rather get a GNex given the choice since the OS support is a priority to me. Faster official update release = faster custom ROM developed.

However, it was only until Nexus 4 that they started to make the Nexus devices to have the best bang for buck deal. Nexus 7 was maybe inflated in price at that time, but that's probably due to Asus, since the official price for Nexus 7 is among the lowest compared to other tablets.

They're not the best deal since we're living in Malaysia, our price are always higher than US counter parts, but right now can you say that a 16GB Nexus 4 for RM990 is not value for money?

BTW, If you really want the best bang for buck, you should probably check out Xiaomi's phone, they're incredible in specs and value.

from this picture, can anyone tell, this is consider removable battery design ?

If by removable battery design, you mean like the Gnex, then probably not. But the battery is replaceable if you have the right tools to do it.

QUOTE(djlah @ Sep 13 2013, 09:37 AM)
ok nvm. now hope for big capacity. previous  rumors point to the Nexus 5 having only a 2300 mAh battery. any more newer update here? hopefully at lease like G2 is Non-removable Li-Po 3000 mAh battery.....
*
The battery is confirmed to be 2300mAh, from the new leaks. The battery size is can be found on the battery. IMO its illogical to think that N5 will have the same 3000mAh battery that the G2 has, considering the dimension of N5 is smaller.

nexus 4 is 990?? where? is it ori or ap? shocking.gif
is the ap set can repair in malaysia? or need to send back to play store?

the best i can find is nexus 10 ori for 845 thumbup.gif . thinking of buying it. quite an awesome value.

You'll have to ask the seller, you can find the thread from Garage Sale section.

Nexus 10 for 845 is serious bang for buck, if you need it or have extra cash lying around to spend, I'd say go for it.

note 3 win in screen size, 3GB RAM, larger battery and SD slot, but expected Nexus 5 will be cheaper.

you say "win", implying that bigger screen = better. I personally prefer the smaller form factor of the Nexus 5. Slightly smaller display but much smaller body compared to the Note 3.

Probably identical to Nexus 7 2013

Is Note 2's battery life a letdown? Because 76% of G2's battery life is Note 2's battery life.

Wait till it is officially announced and marketed. People used to say Nexus 4 is ugly too.

ehh, not really. Android has been able to slide to launch camera from lockscreen, this is just adding an icon to make things easier.

nice, woke up to good news!!
i really dig the design, minimalistic... though the round earpiece is a bit out of place, but that's fine...
was hoping that it comes in the colour like in the leaked manual, but seems to be black instead, guess i can't have it all...

GOOGLE WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? SHIP IT ALREADY, WE ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING!!

there's also white, but that's about it.
