The official Nexus 5 thread.

Well, one thing is for sure - the battery will definitely NOT be removable, right? The Korean variant of the G2 has a removable battery I heard.

That is very unlikely. The 31st 3 days a way and there hasn't even been an announcement or invitations sent for the announcement event. The phone isn't just going to show up on Google Play with no press event.

No, the battery will not be removable. The service manual shows the inside of the phone. The battery is attached by ribbon connectors and the back doesn't just simply pop off. This has been known for well over a month now.

i tried out g2 next to moto x at best buy and it is noticeably faster at everything, just playing around on it, it feels like a totally new generation of phone compared to moto x. youd be foolish to buy anything other than a sd 800 phone like nexus 5 or g2

Looks like there is something interesting happening on Vic Gundotra's G+ page... Hm..

Just look at his last 2 posts. Also, Droid-Life is covering it.

I saw a guy in the subway last night rocking the 5. Should have bugged him about it.

 

[Crow550]

LOL! All we know for sure is sometime in November or December?

Or Halloween cause Google likes to mess with us....

thanks. Is it me or does Google+ freeze up my browser for a few seconds EVERY time? This is why I asked for a link. I hate browsing that site.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Maybe. It says G+ announcement.

 

[Ravynmagi]

Hopefully. Though Google+ update doesn't necessarily mean Nexus announcement. This seems fairly low key for a Nexus announcement.

You're right. It's probably not going to be what we want! >:l

 

[Crow550]

LOL! I like G+ so I'm curious what the update is.

I think it may be the plugin-less version of G+ Hangouts which is the coolest feature.

They are just gonna keep building Nexus 5 hype.... Think it's safe to say sometime in November with the latest December....

Hopefully they are stocking up this time.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

i think halloween makes sense given the kit-kat branding, but well see. i do expect the G+ update to just be G+

i just hope i can get the phone and activate on sprint very quickly and painlessly. id love to drop them but wont be able to find a better deal than the 5-line family plan im on.

I was thinking the same thing. They could very well throw it in the PlayStore on Halloween.

This is Google....

Where's the SDK? Sigh....

It probably will be out around the same time as the phone.
