would you buy a 5 inch Nexus 5?

[thisfnguy]

Supposedly the n5 will be a 5 inch screen. Would you buy this or do you think 5inches is just too big for a phone

I would buy it in a heartbeat if it comes in CDMA version for VZW.

It depends. If they can squeeze 5 inches into relatively the same form factor, make it thinner and lighter maybe, etc..then sure why not. If not, then no I don't think so. And I'm a guy with big hands, the Note II doesn't feel huge to me. But personally, 4.7 is the sweet spot.

As prior poster said, if the manufacturer can take a page from Samsung's book and cram a bigger display into a smaller chassis, I'm on board. I'd still use a 5" device regardless, but there's nearly room in the current chassis to expand the display to that size (roughly speaking).

Yeah it'd require that five inches to be shoe-horned into the something the size of the N4 (or smaller if possible.)

Nope, I wouldn't buy a 5 inch phone. I wouldn't even take one for free.

4.7 inches is really about the cutoff for me in terms of upper screen size. Anything above that is just too big for a phone. Conversely, anything less than 7 inches is too small for a tablet for me. And, that assumes I would buy a tablet. I really just don't have a need for one at this point in my life.

For the sake of flights, bus/train rides, etc..I could see myself buying a Nexus 7 and putting a bunch of movies on it. Other than that, I wouldn't get a tablet either.

A 5 inch screen would provide...4.7 inches or so of actual screen real estate when you factor in the softkeys, so yea, I'd definitely take a 5 inch screened Nexus.

I would even be fine with it being a little thicker if it meant a bigger battery.

 

[Tall Mike 2145]

I would totally be willing to settle for a bar of gold for $299.

 

[pontiac005]

Absolutely! Now if it's more then that, forget it.

I'm ambivalent about whether it's a little thinner or not. My biggest concern is width. Anything much wider than the Nexus 4 isn't going to be nearly as comfortable for me to hold. So, for me, it really comes down to how small a footprint they can fit the larger screen in.

The nexus brand hasn't disappointed me yet so Yea. I've had a note before and it was fun just a little to thick. Now everything is so thin I might now.

I'd get a 5inch N5 but the N6 better not get even a fraction of an inch bigger!
