Nexus 5 2015 refresh

Personally I don't really get all the phone design stuff, and how people think one phone is gorgeous and another fugly, they're all the same bloody shape for crying out loud, it lives in your pocket most of the time, and is covered by your hand mostly when in use!! Even more so if you put a case on it??!?!?!?!

So its got a metal (or mental) band - fab, makes it more expensive and easier for you to be hacked off if you drop it.
I have a N5 and to hide it's offensive looks I have it in a case and only use it in the dark :D

I want a replacement, the only reason for this is the sound on video recording, everything is under water :p
 
if the rumoured 2gb of ram is true then that's a really disappointment. the rest of the specs are fine but would really expect 3gb from a phone getting released late 2015
 
I'm fine with 2GB ram if everything else is okay. Doubt I could really tell the difference, N5 still feels really smooth and fast once I got past the memory leaks.
 
and 2GB may be fine for now, but not 2 years time when people are still using the phone.

am i right in thinking the finger scanner is on the back? i'm very much interested in android pay once it's here, and understand that the finger reader will be used to authorise payments, but this will be a pain as to use the nfc chip against the card/nfc reader in the store and at the same time use your finger print reader of the phone, will mean putting the phones screen up against the stores card reader.

am i right? seems like a stupid design to me. i'd much rather the style apple/samsung have if so. or would the assumption be you use the finger print reader to authorise the card you wish to use in a few seconds, and then you put the phone to the stores reader and it'll take payment.

finally, is android/apple pay similar to how contactless works with only £30 limits, or can we pay higher amounts as though we actually used the card chip and pin?

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

All you need to do is unlock the phone then tap.
 
Looks slightly better with a case.. slightly.
