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.

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.
