Yeap. Galaxy nexus announced price mahal sangat. 2099. ahaha. Bought at 1399 8 months after that. Budget tak kisah but is it true camera and battery perfomance of nexus 5 is sooooo unacceptable?

Camera is good, in fact I think it's quite good, although had to admit Google camera app/software is really not so good, had to use HDR+ mode for consistent white balance. Battery life, is so so, mediocre, you must tweak kernel gao gao to have good enough battery life.

I can't for the love of god get good pictures with Oneplus One. I mean for point and shoot of course.

For amateur like me, i got better camera results with Nexus 5. I don't know why. I'm a noob so photographers please dun flame me. IMO the lack of OIS in OnePlus One really makes the different even though 13MP vs 8MP. Cuz Nexus 5 pictures looks sharper when zoomed in.

I have kinda shaky hands and the pictures or moments i love to take involves movements, so no OIS kinda messed it up since you have to be very still to take good pictures with One Plus.

Ok now that i confirm Nexus 5 camera is quite good, Nexus 5's battery life is the only thing left for me to complaint.

From what I read and understand, CM camera software was not so good, same issue with Nexus, bad camera software.

QUOTE(kllam @ Sep 28 2014, 08:57 PM)
Blasphemy! U're saying a crap nexus 5 with lousy camera take better pics against a superior phone.

U're gonna kena attack if saying this on the other side. Hahahha
*
You might get attacked here as well whistling.gif because N5 camera wasnt lousy, just bad software.

Motherf-er. No matter how much I love nexus, this is a no for me. (5.9" is big, design too round edges T^T) but finally bigger battery rclxm9.gif

Let's see if there's really a 5.2".

Or if I'm feeling adventurous and decided to buy to test/play it and then sell icon_idea.gif

Yeap, no  jumping to any yet until full announcement from Google and specs reveal (most interested in this tbh).

I was phablet hater, now not quite sure. Past few months I wanted to get Nexus 7, still yet to get one because of Nexus 9.
As long time Nexus supporter, I'm 99% confirmed getting it. On bright side, I wont need tablet anymore, as large phablet almost serve the purpose already, and no more power bank when I go out.

6" QHD ( s̶o̶u̶n̶d̶s̶ looks awesome ), 3200+ mAh ( FINALLLLLLLLY large battery ), front facing stereo speaker ( good ), 13MP camera sensor with OIS ( yes please )

The design/looks is a bit disappointing, round edges sad.gif I really love N5 sharp and distinctive looks, like stone-cold-killer brows.gif

nexus 5 = 5"
nexus 6 = 6" ?
nexus 7 = 7"

5.5 enought already la.... finger cross the so call nexus 6 is actually moto x MAX...
*
Cross tighter, Android Police quite reliable, and they give 9/10 confidence, so yeah hahaha cool.gif

I tend to think reason for 6" was due to QHD resolution. QHD on 5.2" seems overkill, on 5.5" seems ok, but on 6" give it near 500ppi which is good ( I guess ) Anyway, just wild guess.

Just like when GNexs introduced 4.65" 720P all people shouted no need such huge screen and such resolution.

I was one of them shouted no need such display size and resolution, quoted myself : "Got my PC for that!" And ironically I shouted when Moto X 2013 only comes with 720P.

Hahaha. I never looked at specs  when I see Nexus logo, I'm all over it. Haha.

But 6 inch.. Hmmm. How can I carry Nexus 6 and OnePlus One anymore.. But being 6 inch why can't they cramp 3500mah at least. Haha. It's the biggest among other flagship maaaa..

Maybe back to 1 phone army again and give oneplus to my sister.

It makes sense tho. Apple have a phablet, Samsung have it, HTC and Sony have it. Why not. They can also push both N5 and N6 at the same time. Maybe bumped N5 specs and battery together for those complaining about the battery?

There's one phone ( well it's phablet ) Huawei Ascend Mate 7, a 6" IPS 1080P with aluminium uni-body and 4100mAh battery 83% screen body ratio drool.gif If only it was S805, and have AOSP ROM then that's a killer.

anyone here pair the phone to android watch? hows the battery life after pairing?

No need worry, most new smartphone had BT4.0 or LE version as well, battery life consumption is quite minimal you wont notice.

QUOTE(limyuyang @ Sep 30 2014, 04:33 PM)
Hope that google can make 2 versions, one for smaller screen size, one for bigger screen size ! Hahahaha  brows.gif

We can wait and see when near to new Nexus 6 launch/release, if N5 drop price or clearing stock or not. It is possible that Google maintain N5 as normal size option.

Add in photos, it has snap on case, so real phone should be smaller.

Someone made a size comparison among other flagships based on AP's leaks.
It is still big though. If you've used note 3, you might as well feel right at home

Larger than OPO and same size as Note3 sweat.gif Sounds huge, I dont have basketball player hand cry.gif

Illustration of how big it will be in real life size. Cant fit whole into my 14" lappy display rclxub.gif

Not sure on the SoC performance, but if their UI not too rubbish/laggy, it sounds like a solid device, Ascend Mate 6 too with that 4100mAh drool.gif

I really love current N5's design, big old NEXUS, simple but stunning ( especially on white version, colored the words with Nexus logo color, pure beauty biggrin.gif )

QUOTE(xxdesire @ Oct 2 2014, 11:14 AM)
Have mixed feelings about this. I actually prefer the Moto logo below and nexus in the center. hmm.gif

I prefer if Google design a unique Nexus logo and put inside the dimple, or simply remove the dimple unless they want to put finger print scanner there whistling.gif

The Motorola branding at the back seems to kind of overshadow the Nexus wording (maybe because of its glossy/chrome finishing), the Motorola logo and the Nexus wording don't seem to blend in my opinion.

I rather get Moto Maker version, where dimple chrome

Is it possible for us to get Moto X here customized? I love the bamboo back one.

Yes through forwarder like that, but expensive.

the only stuff interesting in CM is the Theme Engine

Not a fan since long times ago, although respect and appreciate their work on making old/unpopular phone updated with newer Android version.
I believe Google are interested in the talented developers in CM.inc since they attracted quite some good talent. Their theme engine is working real good, no issue so far on my N5 ( didnt try too many themes though ) and smooth performance.

Really dirt cheap now.... Don think the price will drop below 1k already... Last time I wait for gnex drop to lowest also around 1200 I think.... Check the link u given all 32gb black sold out left only white and red.

White/Red 32GB sounds really good, since most of us using case, the white/red earpiece color really pop, then 32GB is minimum what we need.

What's the reason to unroot ? Since you rooted already, unroot doesnt make any difference.

some commercial application / company application doesnt allow root phone to run them. Some ppl doesnt require the phone to root so they wanna unroot them.

Hmm, first time I heard this. Root only meant admin access as in Windows, nothing more. Dont confuse over unlock bootloader and root, it's different. I see no reason to unroot if already rooted, unless the what you said apps that doesnt allow rooted phone which I never heard before.

common application would be Junos Pulse, IBM Notes Traveler, MaaS360 MDM for Android ... all these app check phone for root access or not

I believe the pupose of a Nexus device is for user to experience an android device the way google want it to be. Rooting and flashing is an extra for those who wanted more from the device.
*
QUOTE(LuffyPSP @ Oct 5 2014, 02:53 PM)
Kinda have to disagree. One of my friends called me few days ago and he asked if he should stick to iPhone (coming from iPhone 4) or try Android. I said I don't know his usage and preferences. He did his research and filtered everything else except the Nexus 5.

Only reason when I asked why. He wanted pure Android experiences, coming from iOS. He had no knowledge of root and flash, etc.

It wasn't me who recommended this phone. The point is, Nexus has reached to the point that even normal users are interested in this. The whole point is to be able to do what normal phones can do, with pure Android experiences, not having  to worry to flash this or that.
*
I also got friend who bought Nexus 5, because I demonstrate how smooth it is, and he wasnt interested in root/custom rom.
I can see why iPhone users could want Nexus, because Nexus was purest Google experience, and it's the simplest to start, no crazy features you never use.
