*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

[Kanpai]

I have to agree with jimlad. The sort of people that care about viewing angles on a phone are usually the same sort of people that don't receive phone calls to said phone because they have no friends

It's not as bad as those who care about build quality and then put their phone in a big bulky case

 

[_Jimlad_]

back on topic, anyone worried that 4.4.3 will be held back to end of June for Google I/O

i really hope not, it's all gone quiet on the android web sites, no stories for a week or so

 

[Rojin]

My point is. Why do people care about viewing angles on a phone? A TV screen in a lounge is a bit different.

Exactly, utterly pointless as far as I am concerned. Seeing as there is also no practical mainstream use for being able to view a rotated screen at a 10 degree angle, it's obvious that it's not high on the manufacturers list of usp either.

I hope that you have better luck that I have had from the Carphone Warehouse when I had to return my N5. When my situation is resolved I would not want to use them again as a retailer, their support has been abysmal.

I decided to go through Google and LG direct in the end. They are sending a padded envelope to me in the post to send the phone back for repairs.

The real bummer is that I will have lost the majority of my photos from a recent rip to Australia

That's a shame, did you not have Dropbox setup or any cloud based backup?

 

[Swarfega]

I backup via Google on my Nexus. I lost New York photos and since then I backup to multiple places as soon as.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

I have Dropbox auto syncing my photos

I use G Cloud Backup with 2gb of storage for all my other bits and pieces

Deal with the fact that they have skimped on the screen with this phone.

If you don't care...that's a different matter.

lol@ no friends...surely you can do better. What are you...5?

Kona the screen is fantastic. Don't get your point. The Samsungs are way to over saturated. I have owned a note3 and S4. Can't comment on the HTC as not owned one due to the software.

No need to bring Samsung into this...I'm comparing apples to apples.

The HTC One screen and the OPPO 5 are at the top of the LCD scale. The N5 is nearer the middle.

 

[Fallen god]

Honestly the problem is that no phone is perfect right now. I want an iphone quality Nexus device but it simply doesn't exist. I would be willing to pay a premium for it too!

I'm in the same about, I would drop £500 on a Nexus device with bigger battery, actual speakers, better camera I don't actual think anyone has the ideal camera, closes thing right now is the L830, I would want something like the Z2 sensor but at 8MP and OIS.

I think Google cheaps out on the devices so they can get an easy way out, why complain if your phone is £350 vs the iPhone thats £550.

What phone do you have ?

As I stated its the whole package I am interested. HTC software in my view is crud. If the Google play edition cokes to the UK then I would take a look again.

S3 LTE, though tried most current poines through family and friends and purchases.

Yes I understand it's the whole package that matters...that's why we all choose differing phones.

Just pointing out...for me atleast that the screen is a weakness of this phone.

S3 LTE

You still got that old thing?

I prefer my nexus screen compared to my old S3 LTE, the colours were just a saturated mess.

And this is just a contrast/black mess

whole package remember...

Mine has the official 3000mAh battery, 128GB SD card and custom ROM.

Aswell as LTE, 2GB RAM, grreat SQ and HD OLED. I'd rather have mine than N5. And I bought the first batch of N5 when released, was gobsmacked by the contrast shift.

My S3 is Still fast and capable until something properly better comes along that isn't huge.

Then knock yourself out and put it into pro mode...

I can honestly say hand on heart the lack of blacks on the N5 have never bothered me nor have a ever thought about the lack of whilst using it.

Having a phone where the battery easily last a day has been a massive plus for me and being able to have something light on the screen without the battery taking a hammering

Everyone has their take on what is important to them.

so how come you post so much in this thread?

 

[kona786]

so how come you post so much in this thread?

To discuss... what else?

You like to diss other phones, but you don't like it when someone picks holes in yours?

why do you get so uptight?
