Re: Nexus 5... So it's here

16GB black starts at $349. :D

Price point, 1 of the 2 size options and name confirmed by Google, multiple colors (probably white) inferred and we know 8GB doesn't exist. Hopefully the rumor with the 3000MAh battery in a 32GB for $100 more is true, that's be $449 and WELL worth it IMO.

I will pay up $600 dollars if that's what it take because I have passed on every nexus phone to date because of one reason or another. I would finally like to have Nexus phone because I love my 2012 Nexus 7 since day one. Unfortunately I don't want to settle for a phone that won't last me a full day.(Though Nexus 5 might be hardest one to pass up)

Moto X goes past a full day witha much smaller battery, assuming the 3k battery is real that should easily be 36-48 hours with it's processor unless that screen is too much of a drain... but LG did great on their G2, so this should see better life than that. If the 3k doesn't happen I wouldn't expect more than 20-30 hours out of it with normal techy use. All guestimates until I play with it.

The Moto X and G2 are two different animals. Though Moto X and Nexus 5 will have 2300 mah battery doesn't mean same battery life. True it's all guess at this point but if Nexus 5 was made by Motorola with 2300mah then I would be more optimistic. Lg has done a great job with battery life in both variants of the LG G2 (2610mah and 3000mah versions) but I am not seeing much they can do with 2300mah

I hoping android 4.4 has a power saving mode.

Not sure about 4.4 directly, but the S800 in that thing definitely has some better battery life than the S4 the Nexus 4 had and the rumor mill still stands with the 32GB variant having a 3000MAh battery. Shouldn't be long to find out for sure :)

Re: Nexus 5... So it's here

If the battery is 2300+ I'll buy it. Don't want to have horrible battery life like my Nexus 4. 1080p display, I would hope for at least 2300.

Re: Nexus 5... So it's here

I cannot wait to buy this phone. I would love it if it comes in the 3000mah variant, but will it happen? I think it's not going to happen mainly because it was not passed by the FCC when the 2300 mah version was. If it does come out with a 32GB 3000 at a $400-$450 price it is a guaranteed insta buy. Even if it comes out in 2300mah I am buying without a doubt. If they optimize like the moto X this phone could be phenomenal device. Sure it's a LG device but Motorola Mobilty being owned my google it could happen.

Re: Nexus 5... So it's here

If there are two different batteries do we have any idea how much heavier or thicker the 3k version will be?

3000 mah seems like a bit of an overkill for the nexus 5.
