Higher amp charges faster and will not damage phone. The only wear is the battery lifespan, ie. Instead of changing to new battery in 2 years time, you might need to change in 1.5 year. Just like your car tyres, the faster you drive the faster you need to change your tyres.

SOS: Battery university

There is a charging circuit within your charger and battery.
it is your charging circuit which supply the current to your battery.
And the charging circuit is design to privide optimum current for battery charging.
Event the charging circuit get more current from charger, it still maintain the optimum current to battery for battery charging.
And talk about battery life span, it is hard to judge, because usually battery only have a min spec for n cycles charging.
the more frequent you charge, the shorter the life span it will be.

Just my personal pov...

Btw, sorry for the numerous questions, sorry but here's another one, bear with me tongue.gif

Will 16GB be enough? That's about 12GB usable for us to use.

I've always been using SD cards for my previous phones so I didn't really have to face such storage limitations. Reason why I may not go for the 32GB version is because it costs a lot more, that's a whooping RM250-300 more and you need to pre-order it which will take maybe 2-3 weeks (I can't tahan already LOL)

So will 16GB be enough for a normal user like me?

I don't plan to store videos/movies on my phone. Just the normal apps maybe a few games and songs. And might take quite a few pictures as well.

I do have a 50GB dropbox account though..

What do you guys think? Can't wait to get my phone already lol, it's been 2 days phone-less and I'm desperate LOL

p/s: Regarding the new improvements in the speaker grill and buttons of the newer batches, any idea whether local shops like DirectD/Satugadget are already selling the old ones or the new ones?

Storage really cant comment la, really depends on what you want to store & how you use it. 12GB isnt much, currently using 16gb sd card in my current phone but I think to save couple of bucks, I can live with it. Just cut down a few songs will do.

Now days we got apps like spotify, everything is going to the cloud already. I think can manage la smile.gif

my gadget experience so far 16gb good enough for me already specially on android platform, always left 2-3gb space. current note3 still hv 20gb left out of 32 gb.

but iphone i need 32gb as i likes to download daily free paid apps offer by app store.

Nexus5 support USB OTG. 16gb should not be a problem to play media with USB drive.

Been using it without a casing for nearly a week. I don't have any issues actually. The only reason i ordered a casing is because of the worry of a potential drop.

yeah, cos the phone looks sexy when its naked
my only concern using it naked is whether the back scratches easily or not and most importantly, will it scratch the camera lens glass

Used for a month, zero scratch like new for the black. My white less than a week got micro scratches on the glossy plastic edges despite me being super obsessive careful.. very hard to see only view at certain angles closely with light.

For me, n5 is too sleek and thin to put those chunky case on, all the nice curves and edges of the design all hilang with case.

i gotta agree with you on this.

the thing is i have 2 phones and 2 phones in one pocket doesn't play well so opted for something slim...sacrifce the nice feeling of holding the phone naked blush.gif

edit: wait you used 2 N5 and naked ? put in the same pocket?
