I've been answering 2930102310319031 times on "When will Nexus 5 reach Malaysia" Q.
And I'm bombarded 324900123892392 times with "Does Malaysia LTE compatible with US LTE" Q.
So total I've answered 3255002434211423 times.

Q: "When will Nexus 5 reach Malaysia?"
A: Unknown yet.

wonderful job, TS

for the headers, ie FAQ, Features, Directory etc
maybe using a bright colour will make them easier to notice, as eventually the info will expand until it becomes a wall of text, or maybe a spoiler will do

Here I have a list of reviews until now, only from tech sites
I think the SITE NAME + URL will do, don't need for an excerpt

Hi guys! Reporting in here now.

Back to the previous thread talking about the droptest thing, I think that why Nexus 5 will just crack like that or Nexus 4 whatever you like.

If I'm not mistaken, the Nexus 4 previously using the Zero Gap Technology which makes your fingers almost touch to the screen thing. So I assume the Nexus 5 would be same? No?

Official thread V2? Should label it at title header.

hi. reporting in.
interested in buying this phone. prefered 821 32gb white.
if you have/know anyone selling, pls pm me. also surveyed few threads at lyn and pmed most of the sellers.
thanks much appreciated.

Maybe can put list of LYN sellers, for those who want fast phones.

second that. gone into 5-6 pages at garage sales.
most of them selling 820 variant.
selling at high price.

Ifixit.com reported the screen is laminated to the glass, so yes should be zero gap

phantomash become TS again lol...

by the way any reviews on the screen protector and casing?

thanks, added!
thanks man. I'll add some of those that are interesting and full featured ones.

its called in cell touch, and yes Nexus 5 has it.

feeling itchy to design a new thread.

This post has been edited by phantomash: Nov 8 2013, 01:49 AM

Congratz on V2. Add also userbase,
My suggestion:

Nexus 5 users
xKAIZERUx 32GB BLK D821

The D821 is optional, maybe have or not have the same...

Still waiting for local set lol

where u bought ur device?

new fan signing in

wow, mind sharing some camera shots?
thanks

TS get all the picture from the verge eh?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzbd99Xq7k4

Sample video and sound from surroundings.

I want Nexus 5 T.T

Some random shots taken during the first day of use.Still need some getting used to for the camera. I also notice that it has some focus issue..

HDR+ off.



HDR+ on



A random shot at my living room of my laptop. The lighting condition is quite poor here.




1st day battery usage.
Wifi on, mobile data on, network location on, google now off, location report on.

Im in uni since 10am-5pm. Most of the time connected to wifi but the wifi coverage arent that strong.






Another annoying bit is the power button. When ever you shake the phone or you tap on the top right corner(near the power button), you will hear the rattling sound of the button. It is quite obvious.
Think I'll either get a TPU case to cover the power button or I'll open the handphone up to put some paper in it after the warranty gone.

a lot of potential owner here.

3rd page dy

Reporting in. Still waiting for local LG set.
Need to compare the price first before decide to buy local or frm LYN seller.
LTE din means a lot to me, because I dun have d habbit to use Youtube by phone. Besides, LTE coverage is limited in my area.
Addition, the drop test by AndroidAuthority means nothing...
In manufacturing and QA, drop test never mean to be this height. Usually, we talk about table height only.

For your reference in case u still thinking about to purchase from oversea.

Nexus 32 GB

Australia:
Price - $449 = RM 1352
Price Selling here - n/a
You pay extra -

Japan:
Price - ¥44,800= RM 1443
Price Selling here - 1750
You pay extra - 307

US:
Price - $399 = RM 1267
Price Selling here - 1600 - 1699
You pay extra - 333 - 380

Malaysia price??

It already gets lotsa attentions over here. And, seriously, LG Malaysia will not price it low.

Btw, drop test really means nothing because it very depends on the angle. Drop a few times with my nexus 4 with and without bumper, luckily mine is still ok. Thank god!

maybe LG IT department will monitor this thread and give ideas to their superior how much to sell LG Nexus here. I bet if 32gb 1700 to 1900, people will still buy. or is that too cheap?

Actually, in my pov, it's a little beast, even Nexus 4 is a beast with cheap price tag. It could have been priced higher, however, all of us are pampered because of the price of those devices in playstore. So, no, I still want it cheap albeit the very good hardware!

which seller would be so dumb to sell D820? That's pretty dumb bringing in one that doesn't work with MY's LTE band, isn't it?

well, everyone want it to be cheap.. I don't think I'll buy the 32gb, gonna be costly for poorfag like me, but if difference around 200, who knows.

got demand maa, of course people will sell.

and I'm not too sure bout this LTE, if I'm not mistaken, now only got around big town right? if people from small town don't want one with LTE becoz they place don't have LTE, I don't blame them, it's cheaper.

Buy from this guy. Japan set.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2702590

Very fast response. after 5 min deposit he already placed an order. Shipment from warehouse 15 Nov

It's not dumb at all. The LTE's coverage in Malaysia has yet to reach a stage where it's usable especially in rural areas like the place I'm living now. I hardly get 3G/H and that's why I'm getting d820 and till the time LTE is getting a bigger coverage, only then I will buy another one.

Lol later i have to do everyone a 5 minutes order. Was browsing Rakuten for some other shopping for myself so it is quite fast to order the nexus 5

Yeah its not dumb. I myself doesn't mind the D820 variant. I have 2 LTE phone with me currently, Lumia 820 and HTC One. Using Umobile now and Im happy for what I pay for. 250MB quota and I don't expect LTE lol. 3G is fast enough for daily usage. Plus expect the quota to finish in less than one day

Maybe only u and some members who are rich fag used to change phones every 6 mths to 12 mths. Many out there only change phones once every 36 mths.
So it's better to get a LTE compatible phone now. How much more u need to spend vs a non LTE phone? Only about RM80 extra the most.

Oh really Rm 80 is the most? FYI US set only cost around Rm 1100. International set cost around 1300-1400. Where's the Rm 80?

This post has been edited by victorian: Nov 8 2013, 09:34 AM

Pls see post 45 above USA set vs Japan set.

It's Rm 180, not Rm 80.

in my case, 32gb differs RM300+, so who is the richer now? haha. I don't need LTE yet, so it saves me about 300.

Aiya people want to sell Non LTE variant let them la. Why must call people dumb and such? There is always others who wants to buy the non LTE variant. You may not want it but others do. Dont put your own preference over others. After all, consumers can choose what they want to purchase.

Those who are going for Non LTE are probably:
1) Wants to have the feel of N5 and become an early adoptor in the country where 3G is sufficient for them.
2) They have no LTE coverage in their residing area.
3) Change phones often where price is not an issue.
4) For showing off.

And again, people changing smartphones every 1 or 2 years is pretty common these days. Its not the matter of richfag or poorfag. Its all about personal choice.

Getting the international set from other country is also more costly compared to getting it from US. There is not much forwarding company in other countries so expect to pay more for the service. On top of the Rm 200 difference device price, expect to pay another Rm 100 more for the shipping and service.

the verge, engadget, and google official nexus 5 page, and more.

What's the price of US set 16/32GB?
$349 and $399?

Is it worth upgrade from Nexus 4 to Nexus 5?

This video have the answer

depending on others

Yeah. For me i will change phone every 2-3 years. Don't have money to change phone every year.

I believe a simple Google search will get you the answer that you seek?

http://www.google.com/nexus/5/

KLCC got LTE for Maxis . Double check with a friend working there , full LTE whole day .

i come across this website...
Anyone familiar with it?

http://www.shopandbox.com/ads/nexus-five.h...CFWFS4godASoAVg

I am in KLCC now n definitely there is LTE on Maxis

Thanks, i thought only accesible via play store

awesome haha
considering this phone and LG G2... erm price difference pretty big, only difference screen size, camera, and buttons lol~

yes, I contribute a bit, anyone feel free to add if not listed:

awesome
are all reliable?
wanted to get from directd. but rm400 cheaper can get 32gb

Just want to offer some thought on possible LG Malaysia pricing. Last year 16GB Nexus 4 is priced at RM1,649 and the sibling Optimus G is around 2k. Now we see AP set LG G2 32GB is going at RM1,799.

Assuming the Nexus 5 16GB keeps the same price, RM1,649, the Nexus 5 32GB is likely to be priced RM150-200 higher, so we are looking at RM1,799-RM1,849. How much should LG G2 cost then? Given the AP price now, I think it might have been probable to go for a RM1,999 (or even RM1,899). I think the gap between LG G2 and Nexus 5 (both 32 variants) are a bit too tight (and even tighter if 16GB N5 is priced higher). Since I see no reason LG to not bring their G2 in (it's their flagship after all), could we be seeing only official 16GB set?

most of them, i hardly see 821 version here.

where are you living, im at cyberjaya and jb, most of the places i go got lte. well you should getting one now

nahh i dont think so. for me lte is a must. using htc one, w/o lte coverage, i feel like im in G. yea so used to lte

second that. some of us looking for a long term phone, not like some who can afford to buy new phone every year.

I'm living in Perak. A very small town, really small. Hahaha. Hardly get 3g. Adui. So for me, it's enough. Haha.

billy, which part you at by the way?

For me lte or no lte, doesn't make much different due the reason below
1) mostly on wifi
2) don't say lte coverage limited, sometimes 3G/H pun limited
3) I don't want to burst by 1gb data plan in 1 day

What plan are you running on? Unlimited data?

Probably around RM1799 as you've said since the US version is $50 more expensive than the N4. Definitely not going beyond 2k otherwise LG Malaysia are shooting themselves in the foot. 1799 for those specs, I feel that is still considered reasonable

I would want a LTE version anytime. Example suddenly this morning I discover Celcom LTE was available in my town Batu Pahat when I switched on my N7 lte. No notice at all from Celcom. Download speeds at least 15k to 22k !! Telcos will be aggressively upgrading their LTE coverage these 1-2 years
I upgraded my 3g XZU to the LTE model recently even though Maxis LTE unavailable yet at my place. But the feeling of the faster download speeds is just undescribeable when I go to KL n Spore about once to twice a month.

ooo ya ka... will check later as i'm going there in a few hours. haha.

can check LTE coverage at celcom or maxis website?

Bro, OT a bit. Your Celcom, did you replace with new micro sim or "cut" version? Some claimed need newer sim (micro and onward) in order for LTE to work.

Celcom you need a specific 4G card from them. You cannot use a 3g card unlike Maxis whose past 2 years cards are already LTE enabled. Problem is this card based on 2 months back can only be obtained from Menara Celcom Jln Semarak or Bluecube centers at Sunway, KLCC n activation is immediate. You need call Celcom to find out whether now there is any newer centers you can get this 4G card. There is no charge for changing card. I got mine from Menara Celcom.

wrong link?

from most the seller .. i think only directd and satu gadget selling over priced for 16Gb.. if let say they price was 1999 for 32Gb still consider it.. but that price was for 16Gb ..

yalo, super over-priced
