I hope it comes in at less than £300....
But if it comes with a S800, same screen etc. as the LG 2 then I would be shocked if it is any cheaper than £350
Personally I rather they just use a dual core s4 cpu and adreno 320 + 720P RGB SAMOLED instead to significantly reduce the cost.

You go away with your dual core CPU! Google would subsidize it like they did with n4 and that's it.
Well "assuming" that it is an exact copy of the LG G2 and comes in at £350.....what would you rather have
top end specs etc. for £350+
or
slightly less specs. (only for the screen and cpu chipset) that won't be much, if any worse in "real world usage" i.e. just look at the moto X etc. fastest and smoothest phone to date according to many sites & end users and not "much" difference in terms of sharpness compared to 1080P when it comes to the screen, at least outside the microscope... for £180-200
In my eyes it is a no-brainer.
Also, S800 is pretty pointless due to the throttling, fine for tablets but not mobile devices.
EDIT:
Plus with lower screen res. + less power hungry CPU chipset, the battery life would be even better or you could further reduce the cost since there wouldn't be any need for a big ass battery.

Dude, no one actual needs a quadcore, the Moto X clearly proves that, it basically has the dual core version of the S600 and it is almost always just as good as the S600 in benchmarks. I would much rather have a cooler, phone with better battery life that takes a very sligthly hit, even more so if it reduces the price.
Soldato
but then it won't be nexus 5.. so you're saying that releasing a newer yet less powerful phone is the right thing to do? not in my opinion.. 1080p displays are beautiful
The moto x is more powerful than the nexus 4, scores higher in the epeen benchmarks (more or less the same as the htc one and gs 4)
The only areas that need to be improved over the nexus 4:
Apart from that, everything else about it is already great and the only other areas that can be bettered are; internal storage, design and battery life.
Personally I rather have a good calibrated 720P RGB SAMOLED screen over 1080P LCD any day too (true blacks, infinite contrast ratio, better for battery life etc. etc.) Much rather have 3GB RAM over a quad CPU....

- camera
- speaker
- screen calibration out of the box

Google should have partnered with HTC for the Nexus 5.
Sure would have helped HTC out as they seem to be going in the same way Blackeberry did

Yeah no way it's going to be 8Gb, it'll be 16Gb with a 32Gb option just like the alternatives out currently I reckon, maybe a 64Gb option but I'm doubtful with Google being all about cloud services etc

I stopped buying HTC devices when they stopped the developer support. Of course that wouldn't matter on a nexus device though.
Price is the Key atm for Nexus devices. As long as quality doesn't suffer too much they're onto a winner. I certainly won't be getting the 5 as it fell outside my window for upgrading. Would have to be very special indeed for me to consider it.
Saw this just now:
Nexus 5 has a 5″ screen with a 1080p resolution and 442 PPI. Further it show the device has a Snapdragon 800 CPU (four Krait cores) with an Adreno GPU, 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage.

Cool.

So the nexus 5 is(rumored to be) a ever so slightly less spec phone than the G2?
But coming with kitkat?
Would the G2 get a kitkat update soonish? (or others like note3/Z1/ s4/one)

Would it be the same quality as the g2
