Gota say I know a lot of people come down kinda hard on the big camera lens but I kinda like the look.

I agree with you. My biggest concern is that tiny little earpiece though. Thoughts?

My concern is camera quality. I know it won't be the best but I hope it's way better then the N4

Yeah the Nexus 4 camera was not that good.. It's good but the terrible auto focus kind of kills it.

Hard to say, its circular as opposed to long and slender like on most phones. I think a lot will depend on the audio hardware they use, which is kind of an unknown.
its right up there with camera quality, we wont know how good it is till we use the phone.

I just feel like with that tiny little hole you will have to have it perfectly placed in your ear to hear anything. I'm sure that can't be the case though.

Cant think of any smartphones that use a small circlular ear piece off the top of my head... would be curious to get my hands on one or see reviews just to see if its an issue.

probably some internal components location relative to the screen or other significant part (battery, radio etc), as a prototype engineer/machinist I see compromises like that made all the time. The fact that they got a 5" screen into a frame smaller then the N4 is pretty significant and was probably due to a few design/construction compromises.

That was one thing I kinda didn't like about the stock Moto X camera app. Instead of touching to focus, it is touch the focus+shoot. It confused me.

I like the chin on phones.. especially when they dont have the home/back/menu buttons on them. gives me a place to hold when im holding it sidways to take pictures..that way my hand wont touch anything before i actually want to take the shot..also, a phone without a chin would be a bit ugly in my honest opinion. Loving the form factor of this phone, all except for the lens..but hey, its a nexus, cant complain when its 200+ dollars cheaper than most phones off contract.

You make a very great point. I wouldn't want "no" chin, but the N5 (based on the short lived play store photo) is definitely better than the chin on other phones I've had.

is this the end.. they are gonna test it mid october.. this is crazy
I sure am a bit worried with this crap! I slowly see the entire world going downhill with everything happening. Then along comes a virtual black hole, these scientist are complete morons, and this machine needs to be destroyed! I don't see any point, or any good to come of it.
I think we should just go ahead and do it.
We either discover something, discover nothing, or get sucked into a black hole and we don't have to worry about life.
Its really, truly a win-win-doesn't matter situation. And I'm NOT being sarcastic. this is how i really feel.
The worst that it can do is destroy the planet, and then we won't have to worry about poverty, global warming, anything!

look into what it really do and what the REAL risks are
fear of the unknown the man's oldes fear and in most cases is just that
but u can not tell me u do not think about it and freak out.. because they are gonna make micro black holes.. and u kno wat black holes do.. they get bigger
LOL please people I figured xda-devs had a bit more intelligence than this??
Fact of the matter is there are more energetic collisions on a DAILY basis in our own atmosphere and has the Earth been destroyed? no.
People read up on what the LHC actually does before backing up hearsay about black holes etc...
And also look up Hawking Radiation you be surprised what the result would be even if a microscopic black hole was created
Sorry Guys, but someone discovered that it will open a portal like in Half Life.

Yes it is true, prepare for the coming headcrabs.
LOL ! The Portal pic was hilarious! I guess i personally put too much thought in it, but as far as the daily occurences that compare, are affects from the sun. The biggest thing that makes me wonder, is what is the purpose, does anyone know?
As mentioned ealier, either we all die (unlikely) or science makes a huge step forward. I live without believing it will happen. If it does, no one will be there to cry, so I don't really fear anything.

to find the god particle, called the higgs boson.
to put it in perspective, imagine a big explosion. All the matter gets shot outwards. but according to the "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" theory, there must be the same amount of energy going inwards too. They're trying to find where that energy is going and what it is basically.
just google it lol

Ahhhhhhh you ! I thought you knew what you were talking about, until I saw the Google comment.
They are doing fundamental research into why the universe is as it is today, so that they can have a good understanding of how it works. With this understanding they should be able to do things which seems unimaginable now.
To bring it home to a practical example relevant to XDA - before TouchFlo3D was understood we could only change the pictures and modify the skins, which was nice, but once TouchFLo3D was fully understood we could make out own tabs which is obviously much more useful.
Imagine now we can generate electricity using nuclear fission, but with a full understanding of particle physics was can stick a Mr Fusion in our cars

Probably read about it in The Sun (no pun intended, its a UK tabliod) which has the front page headline of something like will the world end today, when in fact nothing will even happen until october.
And very good thought about hawking radiation, I didn't know that, but just sort of accepted that micro black holes just disappeared (silly me to just accept something)

[TIP] Better colour with flash photos.

Hey all, this isn't a mind blowing tip, it's just something easily overlooked. Forgive me if it's been covered but i could not find it.
When taking photos with flash I found under my tungsten light source that everything had a blue tint to it.

This I found results from the phone incorrectly detecting the white balance.
It is easily fixed by pressing the picture button and holding it while your phone focuses and measures the shot. Then a second later release it and the results are a marked difference.
To those using any camera with a half and full press button this isn't a large surprise but with the trend to simple tap on smartphones I find this easily overlooked.
Thanks

He's a street dog. Someone found him as a pup in the rain and put him online. He's pretty mixed as a breed but has some hound in him. And much smaller than a mastiff :cyclops:
I didnt know about the hold focus either. I felt it wasnt obvious because the N4 unlike htc's and iphones doesnt do an instant photo. it does the shenanigan of focusing with the ring and all the jazz so one would assume it would measure its white balance then. Anyway you live and you learn

Oh just like the video says I am a total noob when it comes to android phones. I have always had iPhones from the first one to 5, and after it broke I thought I mix it up and got a lumia 920 (terrible experience I had no clue what I was doing) and that bought the Nexus 4. I got to say there is a whole lot of little tricks such as this which is great, so thanks again for posting.

Welcome to the droid community. Once you get sucked in its hard to go back. I try using the i5 now and then. The lack of a back button and my app settings within a separate settings app really bug me.

Razor sharp bottom edges!

Hey everyone,
I don't know how you usually hold your mobile phones but when I'm using it with one hand I tend to support the weight with my fingers at the back and keep my pinkie at the bottom...
Due to complaints about the speaker position on the Z, Sony have now moved the speaker to the bottom of the device, which is okay (except when you are playing a landscape game with both hands on device, lol).
But the main problem is that the speaker grill is not flush with the frame, leaving the rough aluminum edges exposed. My pinkie is suffering, lol. I reckon I can cut cheese with this thing!
Has anyone else noticed? Is your speaker grill in line with the frame? How do you hold your phone with one hand?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
yup. this has been bothering me too. i'm having to adjust my holding habits and putting my pinkies on either corner to not make them sore.
on a similar note i'm having to re-adjust my holding position when playing a game or something in landscape. as one of my hands usually cover the speaker muffling the sound
Here's a picture of the killer edge. It's even shaped like a knife!

Lol, I'm obviously making it sound a bit more extreme that what it is, but it's definitely uncomfortable, I felt it was sharp at first but kept using it and after a while my pinkie started to feel numb and I could see the mark where the phone was sitting. So yeah, I am also trying to find new ways of holding it without dropping it, lol.
Keep in mind that the Z1 is also a little bit heavier than the Z...

Exactly the same here!
Yep, those edges are quite sharp as well, but perhaps they are like that to help the magnetic charger clip on...
But I wish they had done the speaker grill flush with the frame =( like Google Nexus One had above the screen! Nice and smooth so it didn't hurt the users' ears!
I'm curious to know how you hold it though, do you grab it from the sides without supporting it from the bottom?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I usually hold it kinda like this but on my right hand and one of the fingers is exactly mapped on the magnetic charging port. I still can't see how you hate the bottom maybe yours isn't softened enough

Lucky you then!
I kinda got used to it by now, it's not like I've got a choice anyway unless I was to get another phone... But I've gotta say that coming from the XZ that bottom edge definitely feels a lot less comfortable, the way I hold it anyway.
I think it should be a rule for any aluminum phones that it's edges are sharpened out. It's on my wishlist for Z2 =)

My Review Of Nexus 5

Gunna make it nice and sweet
Pros
Screen beautiful
speed
ceramic buttons
Design
thin/light
cons
terrible battery, so wish it was better
camera hit and miss, expected better
back plastic is'nt the best feeling feels cheap
on white version the speaker phone is white on the front making it look stupid black then white there
4.4 kitkat is all google now 3 ways to access it (really) why so many irritating
first impressions is if you have it keep it, if your on the edge i would go with another phone tbh the s4 or something bit dissapointed 70 quid more then my last year nexus and not worth the warrant of the increase
Going to give my feedback nice and sweet.
Terrible Review. I learned a lot.
op is an idiot. moving along
Thanks for your initial impressions.
The battery should improve after a few more cycles, so give it some time. Others have reported good initial battery performance, which is interesting.
Early shots taken with the N5 looked really sharp and fairly comparable to the iPhone 5s. Can you elaborate where it fell short of expectations?
If the back plastic is anything like the N7, I think the feel of it is really nice and comfortable. Frankly it's a probably a better choice than having a glass back and is also part of the reason why it's so light. I don't mind this =)
OP needs a lesson on how to write reviews
Yeah. That.
inasar said:
Yeah. That.

How people test out battery life early on is beyond me....
It takes a full week for battery to adjust in my experience (and many times it gets WAY better in that week span).
With a review like this you should have just piggy backed off of someone elses thread.
I really hope the battery isn't terrible since coming from my Note 2 I got spoiled.
- Oh the beating the OP will endure until the ref jumps in and stops it
10/10 Best Review ever. :good:

Let's be frank, the N5 will fall short on all comparison reviews to all current flagship.
Just get over that fact.

No.
We're not ribbing on the OP because we disagree with him.
We're just giving him **** because we're sick and tired of seeing stupid posts like these on the forums.
This is also not a matter of elitism or ganging up on newer members.
Anybody can write a generic, two-bit review like this one.
If you're going to post a review, have some substance and be scientific about it.
Tell us what you did on your device, what apps you have on. Don't just write oh battery sucks.
Most people just have the common courtesy to keep it in an existing thread so we don't have to see a hundred of these type of these "new posts" everyday.
The next thing you know, somebody is going to write oh the nexus 5 has such **** terrible voice quality - oh I forgot to mention I called from a dead zone in the middle of nowhere.

My review for the day one:
Positives:
-great design and shape
-screen and natural colours
-love the white "plastic" material, rather feels like ceramic tile of some sort, not plastic. great build
-speedy and responsive
Negatives:
-battery is main concern, didnt last me from 9 am to 6pm with moderate usage
-slow charging
-kitkat lacking in features and settings
-context menu missing on some apps
-3 main screen buttons (on the bottom of the screen) still taking valuable space
Will give it a go a bit longer, not making any rush decisions

[Q] Slight warping on back?

Has anybody else experience any slight warping or denting on the back of the phone? My fiancé has an X and is careful with it and it also has a case. I was messing with the phone and removed the case the other day and noticed that there seemed to be slight warping on the back. My Razr M has a similar warping on it. Not sure if it's the battery heat or what. It's minor but I was just curious. I'll be upgrading to the X shortly.

I don't know about the M, but the X has a slightly curved back - it's not supposed to be flat - and an indent under the "M"

And what about that flat, slippery glass part on the front? Is that normal too? The form design of the device is obviously not what I'm referring to.

Not me, I've owned 2 and mine never got too hot. even during voice calls, video calls or video viewing. Also I would've said the same as the above user. Being that xda is open to anyone and everyone, you should never assume people KNOW things.
Anyway, better warranty that badboy fast.

I couldn't quite tell if he was being sarcastic, which is why I shot him a "Thanks". She is still under warranty since she only got it a little over a month ago so I'll shoot her the feedback I get here. I've attached two pictures. The original and then an edited photo highlighting the area in question. It's very slight and hard to see, but if I move my fingers over the upper left area on the back I can feel what I can only describe as a dent or slight warping. The right side in the same area feels smooth to the touch. There seems to be a speaker on the right side. Not sure if the two sides are slightly different because of this or not.

Hmmm, does the bump cause anything to malfunction? My thought is if it's not outright noticeable to you a warranty center could possibly overlook it. My fear here is that you send it back and they tell you they didn't notice anything. Anyway, I think you got what you needed.
I hope she gets her phone fixed!

Yeah she's experiencing absolutely no malfunction. She's loving the device. I've known I wanted an X the moment it was released so hopefully I can grab mine in the near future. I have no doubt that it would be highly possible for them to not notice anything if she sent it back. It's just my nitpicking and curiosity that let me to post the question here.

I wasn't being sarcastic, just eliminating the obvious first. Like the other guy said, never assume someone knows something.
I haven't seen that on an X before, but my experience with battery warping has been closer to the center of the device/battery rather than on one side or a corner. Not sure what would cause that, but I'm not terribly familiar with what's located where under the back this phone. There's got to be a teardown somewhere, though.
Oh, and not to nitpick, but "he" is a "she."
