Nexus 5 leaked

Mind you even at £350, its shaping up to be a damn good buy.

Matteysan · 8 Oct 2013 at 13:26

I doubt those prices are true, but if they are. Bye bye HTC One!

thebandit · 8 Oct 2013 at 13:38

At 250 quid for the 32GB, stock at launch would no doubt be the big issue.

Remember that those prices are before tax and US prices may not translate directly into UK prices.

They definitely won't!

lol when do they ever

I find it hard to believe the differing battery sizes as well, I think it's safe to say that leak is complete make believe.

Same here - everyone is just keeping an open mind. EDIT - it could be £299 and £399.

No one ever thought Google would lob an extra £80 off Nexus 4 prices.

No way are they going to be doing varying battery sizes. Only 2300mAh went through FCC.

Only one device was leaked.

Got to admit I'm tempted to sell my 16GB N4 and upgrade depending on the price difference. I originally thought I was fine skipping this one but it keeps catching my eye. Only thing is I don't want anything larger than I already have. I know the dimensions are apparently smaller (or basically the same) but it definitely looks bigger. Hard to decide whether to sell now or wait...

Yes the Note 3 has this - not sure if it's part of the S800 based SoC or an extra.

It's a separate chip. These are the latest Qualcomm chips that could turn up in the N5.

Audio codec: WCD9320. It's a big upgrade from the older WCD9310 chip, the N5 is almost guaranteed to have it. :cool:

Power management: PM8841/PM8941. These bring Quick Charge 2.0, expect 1.5-2 hour charge times for the 2300mAh model. :cool:

Modem baseband: This is now integrated in the S800 SoC. S4Pro/S600 phones needed a separate chip like the MDM9215, so the N5 will have the latest 28nm HPM modem :cool:

RF Transceiver: WTR1605L or WTR1625L.
The WTR1605L is found in both Nexus 4 and Note 3 but it's possible another company has been used. The WTR1625L only brings extra GPS functionality which the S800 already has? Could explain why Samsung opted for the older part in the Note 3.

Antenna tuner, amplifier/switch, filter, envelope tracking: QFE15xx, QFE23xx, QFE27xx, QFE11xx.
OEMs usually don't use complete Qualcomm solutions, the Note 3 only has the QFE1100 chip combined with amplifiers, switches etc from Avago/RF Micro etc. The N5 certainly won't have envelope tracking if it's based on the G2, Avago chips were used exclusively in the N4.

Edit: Oh yeah, apparently it's getting a November 14th release date in Japan. http://www.gsmarena.com/nexus_5_release_date_and_price_leaked_out_of_japan-news-6935.php

So where and when will Google announce this phone? Don't want to miss out like I did with the n4.

Kreeeee · 8 Oct 2013 at 19:56

It annoys me that there will be a mad dash to get these on release and that they won't produce enough again.

price will be the big player tbh

if its below 300 for 32gb version(if that even exists) it'll be hard not to get one tbh

No invites or dates set so looking like the 14th was a stab in the dark ?

Surely if it was the 14th we would know by now ?

m4rk84 · 8 Oct 2013 at 22:15

I thought I read somewhere there was going to be a big Kitkat/Nexus5 event on the 31st?

SNIP

Good to know. The SQ on my S4 was ok but I felt my S3 was better.

My S4 will be going to a new home in a few days.

Looking forward to seeing all the Official specs on the N5 - And if it has 32GB I'll be way more tempted.

Nexus 4 8GB was £249 and 16GB £289 delivered.

Nexus 5 16GB is rumoured to be the same as the release price of the 8GB.

32GB is $100 higher and so I'd guess that translates to an additional £80, so £339.

Nexus 5 16GB for £249? Unlikely... £299 is more likely in my opinion.
