What really set the render apart IMO was the metal frame, which we can't see here. The official version still has a lot of potential, so don't give up hope just yet.

Oh me too... Those beautiful chamfered edges. Also the flat back without the camera hump was pretty nice.
Don't get me wrong, I'm buying it either way
I play with my food
I agree about the camera hump, but I don't mind them that much. It looks pretty good in the design, so as long as the battery is big enough, I'll be content.
September is almost here, so the official announcement could really come at any time. Was there any notice with the previous Nexus 5 or 6? I think I remember them just showing up online one day.
they announced it late September, took to orders mid October and it started shipping right before Halloween ... took about 2 months for inventory to finally settle in, so for instance if you were looking for the white 64GB version and didn't have time to go on the Play Store during the 5 minute window every Wednesday a few became available, you had to wait awhile.
I've looked through a bunch of tech news sites and I haven't seen any official announcements before October 15. If we get a September announcement, it's likely we'll get a September release. Apple's event is rumored to be on the 9th, so an announcement the week after would be lovely.
Do not tell me I should be content with 24 hour battery life that results in sot of 3 hours like the note 5, ok 3.5 hrs but still that's ridiculous.
Chips in 10 years will be far more power efficient as will screens while batteries can theoretically increase their energy density 10x.
If people like you had their way then the note 15 will feature a 1500 mAh battery that is 20x thinner than the note 5 battery so that the phone can be made 3 mm thin.
The phone will last 24 hrs and have 3.5 hrs of screen on Time and Samsung will echo your word and tell us we "should be content" with that since we shouldn't be using our phones as our primary media consumption devices, we should buy a Samsung tablet or TV for that.
Well I for one think something as important to our daily lives as a phone should strive to offer greater functionality every year, so that people can choose to use their phones any way they want.
The note 4 with a zero lemon 10000 mAh case and Qualcomm battery guru had 7 day battery life and 24 hrs of sot.
I like the idea of being able to fly from new work you Sydney in 18 hours, spend the entire time watching TV and still have plenty of juice to use my phone until I can get to my hotel.
Our how about a power outage that lasts for a day or two?
I want phone batteries to constantly be increasing in energy storage so that If I haven't charged it all day and the power goes out for 3 days I can still use my phone for anything I want including watching movies, and not have to worry about conserving power.
I don't care if screens get less power hungry because resolution keeps going up.
I don't care if chips get more efficient, because right now smart phone makers are more concerned with phones looking pretty than actually functioning well.
Case in point.
I just saw an article that praised the s6 edge+ as "the most beautiful phone I've ever used"
The entire article was about a reporter gushing over how the curved screen made the phone nicer to look at than the I phone.
Yet the curve made images distort. Doesn't matter is pretty.
The phones glass design makes it shatter really if dropped. Doesn't matter is pretty.
The thinness of the phone makes it harder to hold without dropping it and forces a smaller battery with only 3.5 hrs of sot fresh out of the box.
Good help you in 18 months when your sot might be half that. Doesn't matter is pretty.
TouchWiz is so bloated a skin that the phone lags like crazy and the software closes background apps like crazy.
This even happens on the note 5, despite it packing 4 GB of ddr4 ram!
Doesn't matter its pretty.
Phones are not a fashion statement they are a tool.
Especially Samsung flagship, with prices as high as $1,000 in the US, higher overseas.
If I'm paying a fortune for a premium phone from the company that believes it's so important to pack it's skin with such niche features as a golf swing analyzer mode in the camera and a heart rate sensor, then I want the phone to empower me to do what I want and not the manufacturer to tell me to fork over a fortune and be content with what they decide to let me do on my device.
Phones should adapt to your needs and wants, not the other way around.

I'm not saying I disagree with you overall, but this is kind of outrageous. If you wanna watch TV for 18 hours, you will need to be plugged into a power source. That's just being realistic. Battery technology is nowhere near letting you watch HDTV for 3 days? Come on. If you want a tough phone, you can get an Active or something. It's still not gonna give you 3 days or even 1 day of SOT, but nothing ever will.

Would you all be upset if the LG Nexus only had the 2700 mah battery like some rumor sites have said? That truly is not that much of a difference than the current 2300+ of my current Nexus 5. I'm not trying to keep fueling the battery topic fire but I really hope it's past 3000 mah.

Not me. I got through a day with my Nexus 5 just fine. I have chargers everywhere. More is better but not a deal breaker for me.

It's nice to have a battery discussion, but I think what might also be lost in the conversation is what Google is suppose to be doing with the Marshmallow changes... of course I don't think any of those changes would help someone that wants to watch 18 hours of TV/Movies, and still have 8-12 hours of battery life. Most of the changes I have read about where around the standby. Of course we don't know what real life testing will yield for battery life, plus there are always those 10% that over due usage beyond the norm.

Yeah I'm not about watching movies on my smart phone for days haha. I saw a new article about marshmallow helping the standby time on the current Nexus 5 drastically, which sounds awesome. This link shows it. And it says the build their testing is only developer version 1.
Android Marshmallow reportedly almost triples Nexus 5 standby time | 9to5Google

I had M installed on my Nexus 6 and can confirm the standby times were much improved with doze. Not quite iPhone-like standby times yet but getting closer. I'd say I dropped 2-3% overnight.
I think that would be fine for me. I'm a moderate user, so I don't spend any time watching hours of video. Most of my phone's use is texting and streaming music. I would certainly welcome a 3000 mAh battery with Doze and a 1080p display, but 2700-2800 would probably suit me fine.

I'm truly excited about it all. Now I just wish Doze in the future works well with the phones being in our pockets and not just sitting on the desk lol. Helps for sure but would be amazing too have it work like that. The normal standard Battery Saver mode on my current Nexus 5 just doesn't do it for me. Makes the phone slow when using it. I understand what it's meant too do but just don't enjoy It.

It's weird because I would say I'm a moderate user as well and I don't even listen to music or anything. Maybe watch some YouTube videos and Facebook and such and my battery just drains more so now a days. Idk if I could be happy with the 2700 even with Android M and such. Just have to really think about it if so.
needs to be at least 3000 ... I can deal with **** aesthetics, and a lot of other things. battery is a top priority for me, that and UX I won't compromise. and yeah quick charge makes life easier, but what I'm really looking for is peace of mind. knowing I can leave my house and a full charge, and no matter what the day brings, I'll have a phone that works until the time I walk in the door. that's liberating, and that freedom is really what I'm kind obsessed with.
What were the dimensions reported? The LG Nexus is 8mm thin and the Huawei is 6.6mm right? I'm not hopeful for a huge battery in either. 2800 in the LG and maybe 3100 in the Huawei sounds like the best they can do.
