I'd say if anything it'll probably be around the same as they are both essentially plastic things

If you want a premium feeling device then you go with either the HTC One or iPhone

I agree with Rusty! too the N4 looks great.

Well lets put it another way, Im lookin for a cost effective upgrade to my GS2. I'm not a heavy users. I dont need to spend more than £20 a month on a contract really.

So I need an upgrade that doesnt cost me the world.

I've also only had one softphone that being the GS2, so Im very used to Samsung. Will the Nexus devices be that much of a departure? (UI, navigation, icons etc...)

I had a S2, everything work the same, it just looks much better being stock android, and is a hell of a lot faster as it doesn't have all the extra Samsung junk. Things like the camera interface are a bit behind but everything else is much better.

Also the Nexus 5 will be relatively cheap Sim free from Google, so you can just get a much cheaper sim only contract and save more money in the long run.

"and is a hell of a lot faster...."

Actually that might be an understatement because the Nexus 5 appears to have Cat4 LTE certification making it wicked fast. Can you just imagine 150-mbps download speeds?

Now if the UK Government would permit more towers to be built, the dream of 150 -mbps downloads speeds could become a reality!

I sold my GS2 and bought an n4 when the price of the n4 dropped.

Much as I loved the GS2, everything on the n4 is on a different level. Samsung products are great but are not the most intuitive. The pure android experience is much easier to use.

I'm all for better speeds but why on earth would I need that sort of download speed on a phone!?
Even now with my speed capped at something daft like 3mbps because T Mobile are donkeys there's nothing I can't do on my phone that I'd want to.

So you could use up your monthly data allocation in less time that it took to write this post.

Its on the front of the phone, on the bottom left and looks like a collection of small squares

A physical watermark to identify the owner of the prototype?

same here..

the only time I feel the need for faster connection is when browsing google maps to find something but even then its more than OK.. and the other times I'm at home/work where I have access to WiFi

So will this potentially be up for pre-order tomorrow?

I haven't heard anything from google?! no announcements nothing like that.. what pre-orders? ;o

ps3ud0 · 14 Oct 2013 at 17:17

Have they clarified the dimensions of this yet?

ps3ud0 :cool:

tom_e · 14 Oct 2013 at 17:18

Nothing is official yet, and tomorrows announcement was only a rumour.

Jonners · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:30

Prior to the Nexus 4 release, did Google state a set date for official announcement for that device? Or just release it to the Play Store?

there was a big presentation if I remember correctly.. I can remember watching something googly at work around november

Jonners · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:34

If anything is announced tomorrow, I'd be amazed, for now I'm taking whatever is stated online as a pinch of salt...

They had problems with the event I think it was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy.

Azza · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:42

Surely they will do an event for this and 4.4?
