Nexus 5 with Android OS 4.4 KitKat rumoured to launch on October 14th | MobileSyrup.com (http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/09/16/nexus-5-with-android-os-4-4-kitkat-rumoured-to-launch-on-october-14th/)


With the Nexus 4 being sold out at Google Play and it receiving its carrier ‘end of life’ status, rumours are that the leaked ‘Nexus 5′ will be officially unveiled in October. The first sign of a potential release date comes with Android-focussed site AusDriod stating that Google and LG will unveil the Nexus 5 on Monday, October 14th – which is 1-month away.

In addition to this date, it’s also expected that the Nexus 5 will bring the availability of Android OS 4.4 KitKat to the masses. Little is known about the specific features Google will rollout, but the upgrade is rumoured to bring the following:

- New notification widgets
- Firmware availability to older phones
- Fragmentation changes (screen resizing)
- Miracast updates
- New Gallery Visualisation
- New APIs regarding animations
- Change android default blue to other preset palette colours

Of course, this October 14th date and KitKat features are rumours. Hopefully we’ll hear something about both soon.

After reading the connectivity specs on the N5, it seems to be the only upgrade will be the LTE bands. Maybe 1080p screen. I doubt the CPU will be upgraded or could be considered an upgrade.

To be honest, LTE right now feels like a marketing ploy. It sucks battery, and what will you really use the speed for on a phone? On top of that, in Canada we have exceptionally high data prices.

SkinnyPupp
09-19-2013, 11:28 PM
Aren't the LTE plans the same as 3G? :seriously:

I agree though, not important for a phone unless you're tethering. Tablet and up though, I'd want it for streaming

DragonChi
09-20-2013, 12:20 AM
LTE and 3G are considered the same as data.

What I meant was, would you spend 50 CAD for 6 GB of data on a normal internet plan (Shaw, rogers, telus)? That's the kind of overpriced data I meant.

twitchyzero
09-20-2013, 12:55 AM

LTE, Camera, Android 4.4, 1080P, CPU will be upgraded for sure.

LTE is definitely noticeable even when browsing pages. I used to think the same about not caring about speed but after using it for awhile the experience is just so much better. Battery life? My Note 2 nets around 25hours per charge and I'm on LTE.

DragonChi
09-20-2013, 10:55 AM
I guess the LTE upgrade was my rationalization not to upgrade. lol. I stand corrected. I would agree though, browsing webpages on the N4 non-LTE does take about 10 seconds to load sometimes.

Well to be fair, the note 2 has a roughly 30% larger battery, 3100 mAH, than a smartphone, for example the N4 has 2100 mAH battery.

You can get the Bell Tablet plan.. I tried that on my N4 a while back.. it was fast...

$5 /mo.
10MBof data
If data exceeds 10 MB,
automatically move to $20/mo.

$20 /mo.
1GB of data
If data exceeds 1GB,
automatically move to $40/mo.

$40 /mo.

That's like telling a dude that takes care of his car to stop being a pussy if someone left a ding in his door.

Like a car, you can sell for a bit more if it's well kept. Also like a car, a new phone costs money.
Regardless of the amount it's still an investment.

Im thinking about getting the Z1 as well but am kind of wanting to wait for the next iteration (hoping for a better camera)

the LG G2 interests me as well but I don't like how they designed the rear of the phone hence why the N5 seems like it will be more appealing

I want to replace my 808 pureview but am hoping for something with a better camera or at the very least "close enough"

The Z1 just came out in early September. It will be a while for the next generation.

I believe I've read the LG G2 and Nexus 5 are almost the same, except for the housing design and the G2 has a better camera?

The Nexus 5 is speculated to have a downgraded 8MP camera, although it will include optical image stabilization. For $400, the total package is good enough for me. A $400 price difference between phones is a huge deal, and the specs on the Nexus 5 are damn good compared to top model phones. only deal breakers would be if I can't use it on LTE in Korea and Japan, or availability is nil and release date is pushed far out.

StylinRed

Oh i didnt know the Nexus 5s cam would be downgraded I thought they just changed the housing/position (which is much better imo the g2s rear looks bleegh)

OIS adds depth to a camera sensor as well so it may be that

Its not a matter of MPx either btw for whether there's a hump on the camera what matters most is the size of the sensor

the LG G2's sensor is only 1/3" aka TINY (same as htc one, iphone5s, note3 smaller than iphone5)

Nokia 808 is 1/1.2"
Lumia 1020 is 1/1.5"
Nokia N8 1/1.83" (12mpx)
The Sony Z1 is 1/2.3" (20.7mpx)
Nokia N95 is 1/2.5" (5mpx)
^^ mpx isn't n sensor size aren't related

was trying to explain why there may be a hump and that mpx doesn't tell why there's a hump or not. not which is better :P

the Note 3 takes better looking videos than any of the other devices but its sensor is tiny too

SkinnyPupp
10-13-2013, 11:53 PM
No, the resoultion itself doesn't cause the hump.

But with the sensors LG use, the 13MP one is about 1 or 2mm bigger than the 8MP and thus requires a hump. That is why the N4 used the 8MP - it doesn't have a hump, while the 13MP LG Optimus G does.

I don't know if LG makes an 8MP sensor with OSI but I doubt the Nexus 5 will have an 8MP sensor if there's a hump.

DragonChi
10-14-2013, 07:37 AM

Why would u think that an LG manufactured Nexus 5 would have the new Samsung camera on it? Let alone your link says most likely Note 4/S5 from Samsung would be getting it next year.

the LTE on the N4 right now is only for a single band...

if they release the new N4 with support for all LTE bands, then i guess its ok???... if they release the current N4 and just enable that single band LTE, then my high hopes for Google are not going to be good and then it just shows Google is milking people like what Apple does...

If rooted you can install a hybrid radio firmware that will work with the latest versions of Android. I tried it, but PCCW doesn't use LTE Band 4, which is the only band supported.

Google doesn't support facebook contact sync, they removed it in android 2.3? Non nexus phones support it because the manufacturer implements it. Best you can do on a nexus device is use haxsync or a 3rd party facebook client.

Yup. Google phones won't sync fb contacts and info properly like other Android phones because of a disagreement between Google and fb. It isn't fixed by a simple checking/unchecking the box procedure. Third party apps will only go so far in syncing contacts properly.

Finally, Google sent out press invites for an event on October 24. Rumours that it is for the Nexus 5 have been debunked however. Google reps confirmed the event is for new Play store content unveiling, and no new hardware will be shown.

Rumours are that the official Nexus 5 / Kit-Kat unveiling will be October 28.

My best guess is they're afraid of generating too much anticipation because their initial supply won't meet the demand. I've heard the Nexus 4 launch last year was ridiculous due to low supply.

Korean phones do this more often it seems. All my HTC phones and iphone and WinMo phones going back 10 years have had it on the top. It's not as big a deal as the headphone port, but I don't like it. It is too easy to hit the volume button on the other side when trying to press the power button.

We should make an RS pact. Whoever has the ability to order should order enough for the rest and sell at cost.

I came just to tell you that you got on Mobile Syrup lol.

I would sort of laugh if original poster's boss logged on and said "I came just to tell you not to come into work tomorrow...or the next day...actually never."

Anyway, can't wait for reviews once this is released.

Damn...I'm reading some news that the Nexus 5 will be released in two versions depending on country: D821 for Asia/Europe and D820 for for North America.

Looks like the one selling here won't work on Japanese carriers. :okay:

Nexus 5 LTE Band support - xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475275)


D820: LTE bands 2/4/5/17/25/26/41
D821: LTE B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B20

Canadian Carriers:
Bell: 4 (7 limited areas)
Telus: 4
Rogers: 4 (1, 7, and 17 being very limited areas)

Japanese Carriers:
au (KDDI)- 1, 11, 18, 28
SoftBank- 1, 8, 9, 11, 28, 41, 42
NTT (DoCoMo)- 1, 3 (Limited areas), 19, 21, 28


Looks like I can't get the Asian Nexus 5 on launch day...

Probably. He knows that you'd be dumb enough for a phone that isn't officially released yet and that you're carrying $400+.

For anyone wondering, with shipping and tax, it comes to just over $407 for the 16gb model.

Really thinking about getting this phone.
My contract ends soon and I was looking at the SG4.

My S2LTE has been really slow lately and it's got a ton of battle scars.

Do the nexus phones drop in price during holiday seasons or are they pretty set in stone?

Prices are pretty set in stone. N4 only dropped in price when Google was trying to clear stock for the N5. Some companies sell them on contract, if you're interested, but that almost defeats the purpose of the phone being off contract at $350

unless you sign a contract with carriers, you wont find a better deal.. until the next nexus phones come out.. so wait 6months-1 year.. :badpokerface:


Damn OOS.

$399.99 for the 32gb... I ordered

Im guessing $349.99 for the 16gb.. which was the same pricing as N4.. so I thinking every nexus device coming will be roughly that same price???
