Surely got. both US and International version. A poster posted a screenshot of him using International version in Msia edi.

Of course the ppl who got US version won't be able to use LTE here but frankly they don't care.

I was thought of the same question as well. sweat.gif somemore same battery capacity as Nexus 5 as well... something fishy here.

nothing fishy. kernel + software optimisations.

Most of you keep focusing on paper specs only.. while it is true that bigger capacity usually means longer charge but you should consider software optimisations as well.

Look at Apple's iPhone.. battery is in 1500mAh range but can get comparable SoT and talktime.

manufactures do optimizations on their phones, which explains the better battery life

pure google android = no optimizations
*
Just to clarify, they do optimisations.. but it's pretty balanced (all rounder).

EDIT: Indian Play Store has just opened their stock orders for N5

Works out to around RM1662

Has lowyat started carrying this phone? I went there today and visited the ground floor shop where they normally have nexuses on display(forgot the name) that is nearby the entrance. Could only find the 2013 edition of Nexus 7 there, no 4 or 5 ohmy.gif

Someone few pages back said they saw Nexus 5 edi.. but it was overpriced at RM2400 for 16GB. Definitely not at the ground level entrance area.

Battery life
In gauging battery life, it's hard to perfect a methodology that lets you cover all of the various use scenarios without having to test for weeks on end. Whether it be display, audio quality, or camera, the goal with all of our tests is not only to provide you with the clearest, most comprehensive examination of a particular device, but to also provide it to you in a timely manner. Our battery test is no exception.

With each battery test you'll see four different numbers, each reflecting different types of battery-consuming activities. The test revolves around three basic tasks, which we feel are most commonly performed by smartphone users: making calls, browsing the web and playing video.

The first test is the talk time test, which measures how long it takes to deplete the battery by making voice calls. Bearing in mind that most screens automatically turn off during a call, we've made sure our set up accounts for this. We close all applications which may further strain the battery, too.

The web browsing test is performed using an automated script which reloads a webpage every ten seconds. There are no flash elements on the web pages, so the playing field is even. The brightness of the phones' displays is set to 50% and we use a Wireless N router placed a few meters away to get full connectivity bars.

In our video playback test we measure how long it takes for a device to run its fully charged battery down to 10%, while looping a standard-definition video. We stop at 10% since most devices shut their video players at this point. The display is again set to 50%, and all radios on the device are switched off (Airplane mode).

Finally, our overall longevity rating gives you an idea of how much battery backup you can get on a single charge. A score of 40h means that you'll need to fully charge once every 40 hours if you do one hour of 3G calls, one hour of video playback and one hour of web browsing daily. Essentially, it's an aggregated and normalized score, which factors in the three mentioned tests along with the real-life standby power consumption, which we also measure.

The issue here is 50% on a Nexus 5 is different to 50% on another phone. The baseline for brightness comparison should be measured in the nits (200 as mentioned before)

I repeat again; you guys are just considering hard paper specs and ignoring software optimisations completely. Go look at faux/franco kernel on N5.

faux kernel.

AFAIK, franco kernel for N5 is in closed beta at the moment.

Co its already sold at that price.and 32gb is exclusive to playstore only for now.

Ah, that makes sense (32GB exclusivity)

EDIT: Wait.. so... what are the chances of me getting a 32GB N5 locally with warranty from say.. Lowyat Plaza?

Someone said one of the shops in Lowyat Plaza had N5 at a ridiculous price.. I checked the shop and they said they don't stock it yet and dunno when they'll be getting it? This was the Hotspot shop on the ground floor

Not a fix, it's a hardware mod. Unless you plan on risking damage/warranty on your phone by making your own sound holes, I do not recommend you mod your phone and just send it for RMA.
