Nexus 5 Pre-Release/Speculation Thread

[bjacks12]

Probably will be announced between Nov 5-10, and then it will be released a week after.

At the start, he said the main focus would be photos, and they're already pretty much at the end of the checklist on the photos section. Would they really organize this event for a 20 minute Google+ talk? Seems like a waste.

It's grasping at straws, but I'm holding out hope for something bigger.

Not saying they can't surprise us, but if they were to launch the Nexus 5, they would have invites so press consumers could get a hands on and what not. The fact they're stressing Google+ and hosted on YouTube/Google+ not likely.

I think Google is EXTREMELY smart doing this (making a lot of people think the Nexus 5 will make an appearance), they'll teach a lot of Android users about Google+ and hopefully get them to use it more, thus increasing revenue in the long run..

Hopefully they bring similar photo like features to the Nexus 5

That HDR feature is the bomb though. Holy crap.

I'll say this. If I wasn't a power user and was just excited to see something new, and they keep jerking my chain around like this, I would be in line at the local Apple Store tomorrow.

Fortunately I'm not that easy to sway away from Android.

Hangouts SMS integration was something we knew was coming to kitkat.

In fact, there isn't even a messaging app anymore

 

[Omar Days]

YAWN!

Really couldn't give a toss about G+. I despise it so much.

 

[shelliewnj]

Wait, no messaging app? Wow. I hadn't even hears of hangouts before this thread. Guessing I gotta learn?

It should be handled the same way, just integrated with hangouts, which you can use for video calls similar to Skype

 

[statepenn03]

What phone did they show for the auto awesome movie feature? It was only the top part so I couldn't tell haha.

 

[Shotlimesalt]

When I hear "Machine Learning" I just hear "SKYNET"

 

[cgfw201]

To be fair, I had no idea G+ was so good for photo storage. I may switch from DropBox

 

[Biaviian]

I really like some of these G+ Awesome features. I may start using G+ to store my photos due to them.

Why not link the actual source?

because....it was an article that shared the source it came from just like all the other tech sites...

I keep hoping for Google Voice integration. Conversation threading in the Google Voice app is abysmal.

Nothing special

That is & will be the new messaging app. Like iMessage is for iPhone. Find it hard to believe you haven't heard of Hangouts even if you don't use it.

I think Google wants this thread to be as crazy as the Galaxy Nexus one. Lol

 

[jhawkkw]

It's too bad it's not coming to Verizon or else we would have had to add many of the only Gnex thread people like HanSolo to this, lol.

 

[Martin714]

lol imagine seeing this in real life if no nexus announcement is made november 1st =o xp

 

[AndroidifyMe]

Google says Hangouts & SMS in a few days. Hopefully that's when the Nexus 5 is finally announced and not just some app update before hand. Google Hangouts app to gain support for SMS, location sharing and animated GIFs | PhoneDog

 

[Omar Days]

Wait, will I be able to disable the hangouts part of the app and use it just for sms?

Because I have hangouts disabled on all my devices because i dont particularly wanna speak to, or have people i email be able to private message over some chat system.
