By the way, did anyone here got your N5 from directd? Was it sealed when you first got it? Mine was not, so I feel that they might sell me a used unit.

You bought how long? Should've check on the spot.

Was in a hurry at the time plus I used to buying mobile devices without checking on the spot. My mistake.

I usually didn't check too but if AP one I sure does.

Ya, but as Nexus fans, I'm down with it  biggrin.gif  It's nice if they produce a 5.9" and mini version 4.7" with exact same internal.

Just like iPhone?

You meant 4.7" and 5.5", it's still not yet confirmed so cant say anything but I'm more refer toward Sony Z1 and Z1 compact, same powerful internal and camera, just screen size and resolution difference.

Yeah, we'll see. What about the whole Android Silver thing?

What happen is, head of Android Silver left Google recently, with important person leave the team, it seems Android Silver team had less talking power in Google. Then Nexus ( Android Silver suppose to replace it ) program resurface once he leave. First time I felt politic was useful  tongue.gif

Nexus by Motorola also only surfaced after Lenovo confirmed Motorola buy out. It wasnt possible when Motorola is under Google, with fear of other OEMs will freak out if Google make in-house phone.

So it seems Lenovo buy Motorola, and head of Android Silver leave Google wasnt too bad news at all, at least we get back Nexus, and it's made by Motorola. Just hope it comes fruitful in the end  rclxms.gif

Good then, to me both Motorola and Nexus marketing strategy is totally different world. Moto line is meant to be like iPhone, easy to use and care less about spec. While Nexus is for Android enthusiast and developer.

BTW, is one plus one a threat to nexus 5?

After watching this video, I feel like it's designed to attack nexus 5  hmm.gif

Nexus run true AOSP while OPO run CM11S (AOSP on steroid)

I owned both and I can say the screen size give quite big difference, OPO is almost phablet a like screen with thick bezel while Nexus 5 is totally a one handed device.

I can barely touch 2/3 of the screen when holding it one handed.

I don't think the bezel is thick for OPO, but true, one hand navigation is IMPOSSIBLE on OPO.

For me it is, hold a G3 you will know what is thin laugh.gif

I also noticed that the screen is quite big compared to nexus 5.  laugh.gif

If they can slim down the bezel and cut off the capacitive button then will be better.

OPO bezel 'looks' thin only due to large screen. I tested OPO once, normal single hand operation can only reach half way of screen.
EXACTLY. Unfortunately, the design is based on Oppo Find 7A and based on China market ( which love capacitive button ), sigh  doh.gif

Even Samsung still stick with their hardware home button. How I wish all Android phone move to on-screen button.

Idiot afraid of change, afraid they remove home button, people will move away. Stick to home button, cheap plastic, exactly same looks, oversaturated color.

One reason they stick is I guess the fingerprint scanner. They wanna do it the "Apple" style instead of adding a scanner below the rear camera.

From S4 to S5 to S999 they will still using physical home button. If really want fingerprint scanner, put it below camera ma, next to heartrate sensor. Simple and beautiful, while maintain modern looks.
After saw their Q2 2014 market shared dropped and not so optimistic S5 sales, really happy as it might warn them to change, instead of sticking to old style and method.

That's when they started to know consumer want a change.

At least Samsung change to recent home and back since the s5.

Xiaomi n Lenovo still use the menu button. Face palm.

Heck, even OnePlus use menu button. That's why I always switch to soft button in OPO. shakehead.gif

Not really. Google dont like expandable storage because it's a mess to file system and apps data. Let's say apps stored some crucial data in SD card, you removed it later, apps will lose the data needed. Some poorly written apps might goes haywire or corrupted. Also, performance issue. Most users wouldnt know about speed of SD card will blame phone for slowness while main culprit is slow SD card speed.
Apple is smart ( either to control this from beginning, or simply want to sell higher price model, looking at their 64GB iPhone price I really  rclxub.gif  )
*
Their 64GB almost or same price as Macbook Air base model doh.gif
