Where have you seen that? I've only seen confirmation of the 16GB having that capacity.

It will be ridiculous to have different battery capacities for both versions. I know its been said/rumoured, but I don't see that happening.

If the battery was any larger they'd fit it in both.

It would be stupid to make one thicker than the other.

It's not totally daft. They could have been desperate to hit a certain price point for the 16GB model and the only way to do it was to trim $5 of the battery.

But, I expect the same size battery.

So is this going to be available in retail outlets from day one and not exclusive to the Play store, and at a higher price?

Kreeeee · 30 Oct 2013 at 20:15

It's a clever way to encourage the uptake of the larger capacity (read: more expensive) version of the device.

I'm not saying it's even likely, but I just want to know as I am definitely not buying a new phone with a tiny 2300mAh battery.

Tiny?

HTC One - 2300mAh
Samsung GS4 - 2600mAh
Motorola Moto X - 2200mAh

Only the Sony Z1 comes in at substantially more 3000mAh.

G2 3000 mAh.

I would have loved N5 to have 3000 mAh as the G2's battery is phenomenal but what the hell I need more storage and pure Android

I sold my Nexus 4 8gb today for £165, nice timing.

ChrisD. · 30 Oct 2013 at 20:40

What is the N4's battery?

MORE SPEED · 30 Oct 2013 at 20:40

2100maH I believe

And to fuel the fire...

I would imagine it will cost more than the play store. However they have a new Nexus management team in since last year so maybe they worked a better deal with LG.

That is a bigger phone at 5.2 inches.

To be fair the Z1 is also a much bigger phone with a lot more bezel.

Also isn't the CPU/GPU more energy efficient than last time round so battery should be a lot better.

Azza · 30 Oct 2013 at 21:02

Should be an interesting announcement... Very low key.

Z1 is much bigger, G2 if you compare is only marginally bigger with a bigger screen.

N5: 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm
G2: 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9 mm

The bezel is actually smaller on the G2. But tbh I charge my phone every night anyway, G2 is great but 2300 mAh is not a deal breaker for me personally.
