That's something you should know I personally need 32gb but do you? Do you take a lot of pictures? Store videos, music etc on your phone? If so probably.. As I've said it's up to you

Since there's no removable storage I went for the 32Gb. It costs more, but for me it was more of a 'what if' factor, and that I wouldn't want to carry around an OTG cable and USB drive if I wanted more storage.

16 or 32gb? I'm set on the N5 now just wondering if the extra storage is worth the small premium!?

get 32GB, no doubt.

My 4s is pretty much full of pictures and videos! I just hope the camera is almost as good as the 4s with the n5's latest update!

IGNORE

Definitely noticed the difference between moving from taking photos and then video in terms of it going darker in the 4.4.2 update.

Who's had 442 OTA?

 

[dymetrie]

4.4.2 dropped onto my phone, OTA, this morning

Looking forward to testing out the camera on the kids, later...

 

[bad_ass_neil]

i got 4.4.2 last night i did a manual check and it popped up.

 

[BMox81]

Just got the OTA to 4.4.2 on my N4.

The switch from Camera to Video recorder doesn't do the same thing where it goes darker though...

Another bug perhaps?

I got the 442 update OTA. When I tried to install I got an error and the phone crashed. Wouldn't restart. Had to wipe cache in system recovery. Will 442 have been installed? When I check for updates nothing is available. Worried if I do get a notification it will brick my phone. i have rooted my n5.

If you used SuperSU then it will prevent the update installing as it locks install-recovery.sh

I thought the Nx5 battery life was one of it's weaknesses? (according to reviews)

Anandtech are the only site with a decent battery review, most other sites use the phone for 2 days and make a quick judgement as they rush to release a review.

From this forum and xda most people find the battery life to be amazing.

 

[Rusty!]

Battery is definately better than my Nexus 4 was, and I didn't have a problem with the life of that either.

Ah, I am using that. How do I sort that?

 

[rogueblade]

still not update for me

 

[DeathStorm]

Sorry, I set it to upload and dashed to work, running late.

For me, maybe 2db difference, at most.

Isn't that quite a big difference for dba?

 

[sonic_rm]

Surprisingly I got OTA update notification earlier today, won't install though as I have custom recovery.

It's an improvement from the Nexus 4 but it's still a smaller battery than the alternatives and using them heavily the Nexus 5 isn't going to compare well.

The latest version of Android does seem to be more efficient, the idle drain seems amazingly good but I've also managed to completely destroy the battery on a long train ride with only moderate use.

good video comparing camera on 4.4.2 to 4.4.0/1
