Looks like the Nexus 7 with the matte back. The 7 looks great with it. Hopefully the 5 looks just as nice, and that it's simply the video not doing it justice.

I just bought a Nexus 7 this week... just wondering if anyone is using a Qi wireless charger and their experience with it.

Was kind of hoping they'd tap HTC for their next nexus phone. But oh well. It's Samsung this time around yeah? Not a fan of Samsung hardware. Pass.

Edit: Hardware is LG again. I may snap one up!

I really like how HTC put the speakers on the front and made them sound incredible. Forget being a "Plus" that should be the new standard of smart phones. I know that's asknig a lot of a nexus phone which is supposed to be cost effective.. but meh. How expensive could it be to put speakers on the front instead of the back and maybe not as fancy a sound?

At least they're on the bottom with the Nexus 5, that's my biggest complaint with the Nexus 4

Hopefully that means Nexus 10 is available as well and I'll finally be getting a tablet.

Update from the anonymous source:

Google will launch device and accessories on Nov 1st, exclusive to them.

No one can have anything prior to Nov 8th. Launch is Nov 8th at carriers for device and accessories.

Will Canadian carriers get it at the same time as the American?

sorry for being repetitive but I am now faced with a straight trade for my 4S for a nexus 4, 1 month old, mint, box, everything

owner just doesn't like android and wants to go to iphone

im thinking of making trade, as I think 4S has now been bumped down - the longer I wait, the more it devalues and becomes suspect to iOS upgrades

thoughts? I havent even started messing with my OWN nexus 4, but Im thinking this traded one could go to wife, or be sold easier, etc. Ive had the iphone on the block with not much interest, and lots of them since 5c and 5s are out...

Depends on how much memory in the 4S, but just looking at kijiji it looks like the 4S is still worth more than a brand new Nexus 4 ($249 for the 16GB one, iPhone 4S's $300+).

You guys see this?



I love the matte black finish. Looks like the leak also included pricing, starting at the same $349. Might have to grab one to do my annual 'I'll try Android' routine.

Looks great. Should be around $399 Canadian for the 16GB version. Hell of a deal for that phone.

Looks pretty good. Personally I like the overall design of this better though the patterned back on the N4 is pretty hard to beat.

It's a very clean design. Not as slick as the One, but still looks like it could be a well-built phone, especially for that price.

If the Nexus 5 is going to be anything like the LG G2, we're in for a treat.

LG just seeded our entire company with LG G2s. I'm using it right now. That being said, I'm still planning on getting a Nexus 5.

This LG G2 is awesome. I can only imagine how awesome the Nexus 5 will be.
