Is it worth upgrading from the Nexus 4? There are no new phones want, they're getting too big, but I do fancy a new phone and the 4 has been an excellent phone.

I think so. The Nexus 5 screen is a lot nicer. I'd go for a second hand one.

Time to pickup another N5 then...

Still waiting for mine to come back from lg, Bought an S6 in the meantime. not sure which to sell.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 28 May 2015 at 21:53

I just want the N5 for Android M tbh.

That display though....
Then again I've heard it has trouble with the battery discharging too much when idle.

Have you had that with the s6?

robnut · 28 May 2015 at 22:47

Getting over 2 1/2 days atm, I aint too heavy a user atm tho. Came from a note 4 and pleasantly surprised. Had no discharging issues or anything. Screen and camera are amazing though.

a03dugga · 28 May 2015 at 23:03

Yeah that's what makes me want to get one, except for those tariff's. Might wait until September to get one, IF it comes down.

Lawl, got home really late and read up on Android M. Just flash M on my Nexus 5 now then bed, good luck getting one mate.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 29 May 2015 at 01:09

You're making me jealous

Let me know how it is tomorrow. Cheers mate.

To be honest, this is the longest I've owned a phone. The usuals got changed out every 12-18 months but the N5 will be kept until it totally fails. It handles everything brilliantly although could do with a longer lasting battery. Maybe that's it :rolleyes:

maybe...
Although there has been a few bugs, I've really enjoyed the ownership of a nexus device. I've owned alsorts and its certainly the best! I'll be going for the N5 2015 when its out (hopefully)

Terrier_Jimlad · 30 May 2015 at 08:57

Agreed, I've owned the N5 since it came out, first phone for a long time that still does everything I need and is still so fast at what it does, even on stock lollipop. Hopefully Android M will take the battery life to another step with the Doze stuff. Don't feel the itch to upgrade just yet despite whats now available, credit where credit due.

Same boat here..... I ended up getting two last year - once for L and then for the full Lollipop release

Looks like you can only get them on eBay and the like now though, I think they stopped making them

loltim · 30 May 2015 at 10:53

Surprised with the amount of praise this phone still gets. The screen is amazing but battery and GPS are poor.

reflux · 30 May 2015 at 11:17

GPS was particularly poor on early models. I sent mine back to Google and they sent me a new one back in March last year which was much better.

Battery is pretty terrible on all models though.

michty_me · 30 May 2015 at 11:22

My GPS was terrible where it would lose GPS signal every few minutes. I popped off the cover, Raised the tabs a bit with a bit of card and re-sealed. Been perfect ever since!

Rusty! · 31 May 2015 at 09:10

I bought mine on launch day, GPS has never been a problem. Battery life has never been great, but it's no worse than I was expecting it to be.

This is the longest I've kept a phone since my N95!

michty_me · 1 Jun 2015 at 17:38

Just got 5.1.1 OTA today.

Unicorn · 1 Jun 2015 at 18:03

If anyone uses elementalx he's done a massive update to 4.0 to fix all chrome issues, compatible with 5.1.1

Yeah, I've had mine from launch day. Awesome, and long lived phone. Best since the Nokia E72 in my case.

Just had the 5.1.1 update today - so far so good.
