What is this then?

5.7", Huawei, Snappy 810

Not sure how I feel about it really. Good to see someone else getting a shot at the Nexus program but not convinced by Huawei's offerings so far, or whether the phone needs to be that big.

Huawei phones are pretty good tbh.

But 5.7", really?! :mad:

The rumours begin.

S810 will be dated by October. And the thermal issues don't help. Hope they use a better chip.

According to this site we might be seeing a 5.7" Huawei Nexus phone and also a 5.2" LG Nexus phone this year. Will be cool if it's true. I'll be getting the LG one.

kona786 · 12 May 2015 at 15:01

rumours galore.

biron_w · 12 May 2015 at 15:12

Quite a few sites seem to be repeating this info that we'll get 2 Nexus phones, or a phone and phablet, this year. Makes sense to give people the choice really.

kona786 · 12 May 2015 at 15:19

Makes sense, but doesn't mean it'll happen is my point.

We're still nearly 6 months out of release, so many things could happen.

reflux · 12 May 2015 at 15:23

Yep, lots of time yet. Hoping we get some genuine leaks soon though.

Yeah Artem from AndroidPolice said but he's not 100% confident about it so didn't put it on the website and only mentioned on his google+

nade · 12 May 2015 at 20:02

As others have already said above, i've also seen reports of 2 models being a possibility. Surely this makes pretty decent sense... giving users a choice. Will believe it when I see it, but still loving my N5.

reflux · 13 May 2015 at 11:57

Two models would be great. I think I'd go with the smaller one but nice to give users a choice and some differentiation.

Yeah. I really can't see your average Joe wanting a 6"+ device sticking out of their pocket. lol.

Like I said before, my 5.5" OPO is a tad too big, so 5" or 5.2" would be perfect. I'm sure I'm not the only who thinks that.

Nexus18 · 13 May 2015 at 13:51

5.2" is the ideal size imo.

I really do hope we see an excellent 5.2" nexus device this year as I really don't fancy waiting another year for the next nexus device....

I'm still on my nexus 4, which does a grand job. I was waitng for the N6, but it was too big so I didn't change. A n5v2 would probably suit me perfectly.

opethdisciple · 13 May 2015 at 15:46

Yes a 5" device is the sweet spot. Nexus 6 is massive!

I've gone back to the N4. I've had a G3 and M8 and while they're nice phones they'e too big(M8 is the same size as the G3 even though the screen is smaller).

reflux · 18 May 2015 at 10:27

The N4 was a great size. If it wasn't for the lack of LTE I'd still be on it.

Yep same here.the N6 was a no go for me as soon as I saw the size. I've been close to replacing it at times (most likely with a Z3C) but its still a great phone and besides to get a better camera it doesn't seem worth replacing

chanjy · 19 May 2015 at 13:51

I had an N5 and it was the perfect phone for me except the battery life. If they could make an updated N5 with the same performance but more efficient power use I'd be on it in a flash!
