With the announcement of the LG2 i must say it looks like a very nice device sporting 2.3ghz quadcore. I hope that doesn't make the 3000 mAh battery seem pointless with its 5.2 inch display.
I'm just curious though, does anyone of you believe that the Nexus 5 will be based off of the recently revealed LG G2? I find that devices looks great, and while i do understand that some people don't want to move up to 5.2 inch screen, i must say i'm more or less ready to make the move. In the past i could not for one second imagine myself using a 5.2+ inch screen, but recently i just find it makes the browsing, texting and reading a MUCH greater experience.
anyways, what do you guys think?
I hope the next Nexus is made by LG and based of the G2.

Why is everybody so sure that the next Nexus will be labelled as Nexus 5? The Next Nexus 7 was also not named Nexus 8.

The new nexus 7 is called the Google Nexus 7 (2013). The ASUS Google Nexus 7 (2012). So the point he was making is that the name might not go in increments.

The number is screen size. Since new Nexus tablet is still a 7 inch device it was called Nexus 7.
If next Nexus phone comes with a 5 inch screen it so be most likely called Nexus 5.

Yes, of course, that was clear; I was just pointing out that there is also no clear indication of any guideline, so it's all speculative.
I watched the whole thing too and it does look like a great phone but I don't know if I want a 5.2" display phone might be a little big. I don't own a n4 but I do like how it feels on the hand and not too big. Also I wonder how that battery will hold up after seeing all the great battery life everyone gets with the n4 I'm debating whether to wait for the next nexus or get the n4 next month

I will be really mad if the next nexus is a 5 inch screen or if has any of that back button crap. If the make the same phone with a 1080p screen better camera and just a little better battery I'm happy.

and LTE of course!?! that is working from the get-go
With how Qualcomm is handling the situation with AOSP i hope the next Nexus is NOT made from the G2.
The Nexus 5 will be based off the G2. Sadly it will be sexier and more of a beast than the Nexus 4....I really wanted to keep my Nexus 4 for 2 years but damn the Nexus 5 looks like it will violently b!tch slap any other phone on planet earth.
Mad props to LG. To take a beautiful, sexy device like the Nexus 4 and follow it up with a device that clearly trumps it in looks, aesthetic, performance....everyone will be blown away and hooked on the Nexus all over again...

You're asking for a Nexus 4S or a newer Nexus 4. This is about the Nexus 5 ....Every Nexus released has been a significant improvement over its predecessor....not a small step up
Considering how many issues Google has had with Qualcomm when it comes to releasing factory images of devices running Qualcomm chips, I hope it'd use a different SoC.

Really what's the alternative?
Qualcomm has a lock on SoC's at the moment and for the forseeable future. I mean really who else is there? Intel?
Development wise everyone is behind Qualcomm. Not by just a little either. The Snapdragon 800 that powers the G2 will more than likely go untested or unmatched by any competitor SoC until NEXT year....The 800 is a big deal as far as SoC's go.
I'm not sure of this beef Qualcomm has with Google. Don't know much about that.

You have Samsung with their Exynos series.
Edit - ignore
I rather have Exynos but Samsung just doesn't play nice with open source I would love Sammy's new octa core Exynos 5 with new mali-t GPU in new Nexus phone but I think if anything its going in this years Nexus 10 tablet.

Samsung's Exynos? Nope.
The main reason most Exynos powered devices don't have official CM support is because Samsung doesn't release their images. Infact I don't think you can find one Exynos powered device officially supported by AOSP.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 pro powers my N4 and I rather like it. Can somebody explain this mysterious problem between Qualcomm and AOSP? Doesn't make sense
It isnt that much bigger than the nexus 4.
Nexus 4 is 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm
LG G2 is 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9mm
Slightly taller by 5 mm, wider by 2mm but slightly thinner.
Also not sure of the power lock button on the back. You could just put your phone on the table and the phone will be turned on. Also getting cases will be odd. I hope they use the normal buttons on the side.

This, its basically like the S4.
What I would be missing in the next Nexus (if its based on G2) would be Wireless Charging
But this hardware + AOSP = LG/Google shut up and take my money (again)
I'm looking into getting a tablet. The new nexus 7 intrigues me but is the size all that different to the note 2? What tablets do you guys have? Do you find yourself using it over your giant phone?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4
My wife has the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and I play with that one. I don't like the size compared to my note ii. But I do plan on getting the new nexus 10 when it comes out.
About her galaxy tab. It feels too small. Like its not a tablet but a phone. As ridiculous as it sounds. She likes it because she can easily store it in her purse whenever we go anywhere. That's always a plus, but she does also only have a 4.3" phone so its a big difference in screen size to her.

I'll second the notion posted above, that the 7" tablet is kind of pointless when you have the Note 2. For what it's worth, since moving to the Note 2 I no longer use either my Nexus 7 nor my full-size iPad. I seldom need anything but my Note 2 and my laptop, which spends most of its days docked in my home office.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4
Now that I have the Note2 I rarely use my touchpad running android. If/when it dies I will probably replace it with a Nexus 10. The weight difference between the 2 tablets will probably cause me to use a tablet more often.

I have a first gen nexus 7, and recently I bought a note 8. The note 8 is what I reach for the most. The nexus was too small and rarely used liked the other posters point out. But the Note 8 is the perfect balance of size for me. Note 8 development is not the best, but I like TW so im running stock rooted on it. The fact that it has a sd slot helps a lot too. The price is higher though. Something else to note (ha), I do use the spen a lot. If the spen is not a selling point for you on a tablet, it may not be worth the extra cost. Good luck tablet shopping!

I have had the Note 10.1 for about a month now and find that it goes well with my Note 2. I was on the fence about just rooting and flashing my Kindle Fire HD and using it, but I also thought what's the point of using a 7 inch along side the phone. I have been happy with it so far and running TW on both helps.

Actually I saw a video review of both 5X and 6P where it was said that it seemed to run smoother on the 5X. Perhaps the screen resolution? Or just a mishap?

What is the best selling point that you feel very convincing for you to buy?
Let us discuss here... Poll your best reasons.
Even as a long time Note User (Note3-Note5) I liked the s7 Edge's design enough to lose my s pen to switch over to it. Now that the Note7 is here, I'm ready to jump back into the S Pen....
To answer your question the "glance" feature (yes I know its just software and available on note5 with custom rom) but that is just so incredible. I can't wait to use that for multitasking.
Also, the iris scanner combined with password entry and hiding apps just because you aren't the one looking at the phone is pretty tight!
Thats an easy one.
Ext sd card support.
Thats the main reason im ditching my note 5 and going note 7.

I would agree that if you have an S7 edge and dont need the Spen not much point in buying one.
But for those who dont have an S7 edge and are in the market for a new device (like myself) the fact that the note is a copy is quite irrelevant.
Perhaps you didnt consider that?

Perhaps you didn't consider the $400 price difference. If that spen is worth $400 extra then I hope you really use it 24/7. I personally use it the first weeks only then I rarely use it. It is good to have there but for me bigger battery was a must.

$400 doesnt mean much to me honestly,not trying to sound like an ass but its just not a big deal on my end.
Im not a fan of the edge screen at all and if they had not toned it down on the note 7 i would not be buying one so thats the main reason Id go note over S7 edge.
I dont use the Spen alot either lol...bigger battery would have been nice for sure but as it is its 500 mah more than my note 5 so for me its a bonus.

I am trying to look at the bigger picture here and consider any customer in the market but if I like the device $400 is not a problem for me either. These manufacturers have broken our balls with such small upgrades and even after so many years we still don't have a perfect device. They hold back on hardware upgrades on purpose just so that users can have another reason next year to buy the new flagship. It is annoying. I still am convinced that the S7 Edge is Samsung's best phone this year. Performance wise and battery wise.

Yes it is, but I usually buy device after it becomes kind of old, after 6 month, so price reduces around 30%..
I used note 2 for almost 3 years, and i never felt to buy another phone, because it was fast with custom rom, I was able to play any game, I upgraded to note 5 just for the sake of camera.
So maybe I will buy note 7 after few months.

If you need a waterproofed Note, you're using it wrong. Going from a Note 4 to the 7. The 5 wasn't for me. The addition of the SD did it for me and believe it or not the gif creator.
Hi.
I'm not sure what phone to get. This or the note 3 instead.
What do you think?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If talking about the Redmi Note 3 without "pro" (so the Mediatek variant), the answer clearly is: Buy the Redmi Note 4
If you think about the Snapdragon variant, the Redmi Note 3 Pro, the answer is more difficult. If you can live with MIUI, I would buy the Note 4. The Note 4 built quality is even better than the Note 3. In my personal opionion the Note 4 looks better, more valuable. In matter of performance they are nearly equal. Only if you want to install CM ROM, you should get the Note 3 Pro.
I'd get the note 4 over the note 3 pro anytime. The design on this is much nicer. And I'm sure people will find a way to get CM on this device
Is the camera on the Note 3 Pro a lot better than the Note 4? I use the camera a lot so this is a big thing for me.

If the camera is the only thing important to you, than stay with Note 3 Pro. It's not so big difference, but the note 3 pro camera is a little bit better.

This, the Redmi 4 Prime has an amazing battery life with the SD625 and 4000mAh battery. It's also very cheap, I don't see how the Note 4 Pro will be able to compete unless they decide not to release one.

It DOES look interesting. I would like the 5.5 inch screen but 5 is still good.
Not sure which Xiaomi phone to get? Don't worry, there'll be another one released in a few weeks which seems better
If you live in Indonesia, then the Redmi Note 4.
The Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) variant has the 4G LTE disabled by Xiaomi if it detects an Indonesian SIM card inserted, to comply with Indonesian's tech regulation. The Non-Pro (MTK) variant has no such problem, but then it performs on the level of Redmi Note 2.
