Nexus 5 2015 refresh

The more the 6P (ignoring its size) looks good, the more it makes the 5X looks crap.

Indeed. Which is a shame.

Will have to wait and see.

That would make it fit with the normal 12 month cycle.

Usually available for sale late October.

Nexus 4 Nov 13th
Nexus 5 Oct 31st
Nexus 6 Oct 29th

Gives me more time to think about what to get!

Am i missing something obvious, or does the 5X not support the LTE bands that Three use?

Oh.

If this is the case I'm out.

The FCC reports over on AndroidPolice seem to show the bands for the US version, but it doesnt list the bands that Three use. But they also mentioned an international version...so maybe i'm wrong. I hope so.

There will most likely be a USA version and an international version, like with the N5.

michty_me · 28 Sep 2015 at 13:36

Yeah I agree with Reflux. They have a D820 and D821 for North America and the rest of teh world. It will probably be the same this time round.

I've not seen a link to LTE band support.

I really want to change my note 2 but there's just nothing out there that's worth me parting with my money. I really hope this nexus 5x isn't a let down...

Only band 7 showing but that is the US version. The International version will have bands 3 and 20 so no need to worry.

It's going to be $379.99 in the US. So looking good for under £300 here.

The N5 16GB was $349/£299, so at the same ratio that makes this $379/£324.

It would be way to close to the x style for me if it's going to cost that much. I'd pay a little bit extra for expandable storage but keeping near stock android. It will be a shame if it's this price because I really did hope to make this my next phone

. Guess I'll find out tomorrow!

Skeeter · 28 Sep 2015 at 19:36

It's too close to the 6P at that price too!

I'm wondering if the leak is wrong and the 6P is $599 rather than $499. If the 16GB is $379, the 32GB will be up around $450, which would be utterly stupid if the 64GB 6P is then only $499.

I'm hoping it'll be £299 as a more friendly conversion. can see it being £319, though. I'm happy with that. Anything over £350 and I'll be looking elsewhere.
