Hope nexus processor will be 64 bit and with DNA security . So it will beat apple touch ID.

Reply your thoughts ,

i will never buy an iphone again.

Why wouldn't you buy an iPhone again? Serious question.

[gosompoi]

I can buy a LG Nexus 4: $249 + Asus Nexus 7 tablet: $229 + Acer Chromebook: $199 = $677 USD. That is still less than a Iphone 5c in Thailand.

[wooloomooloo]

I'll have agree that iPhones are expensive but they are functional and look forward to iOS 7 update this week.

[gosompoi]

Rather have android with a bigger screen and micro-sd slot all plus usb port than overpriced Iphone with thunderbolt.

Nexus 5 wont have 64bit cpu because android does not support 64 bit cpus. There wont be fingerprint sensor either.

All the rumors point to a S800 SoC for the new Nexus, which is 32 bit. I plan to get that one.

The LG G2 looked attractive, but now some strange stuff has surfaced, e.g. no Recent apps button in the configurable navigation bar, changeable system font but not including the Roboto. But its camera seems to be awesome so I hope they use that in the Nexus.

Nexus 5 will be stripped down version of lg g2 in 5" size.

Thanks for the valuable comments.

I have not yet bought a smartphone because I am puzzled by the many offers on the markets and the absence of English explanations : now I have an idea of prices

[Shurup]

I'd never get an iphone even if they were cheaper than the leading android phones.

And I'd never get a device with a fingerprint scan (not to mention the DNA), it's actually a turnout feature rather than the bonus.

The GNEX 5 (LG G2?) does not look to be earth-shattering, and neither does KitKat (Android 4.4). Both rumored for Oct. 14, 2013 launch/release.

The LTE would be nice, mostly for use in other countries.

You may have to wait for Key Lime Pie (Android 5) and a GNEX 6?

All the features if the iPhone is relatively pointless being viewed on that tiny screen and coming out with the S version every other year doesn't cut it anymore.

But Samsung is sure to release 64 bit processor in next gen galaxy . Will it come with it own OS ?

Still be with google android ? Interesting .... Right

Prices quoted from the google international store http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/

Just like I would from Apple store....

64 bit is not going matter on a phone for at least several years in to the future. The fingerprint sensor is a 50/50, love to have it but I have a feeling I rather wait till this is proven tech for a phone. I know the apple home button breaks often, so then what?

Local prices for Apple are the same as OS. Not so for Nexus

[xcrome]

Apple is apple and Samsung is Samsung . Which phone suite u ? your choice! Price is not problem

If arm releases 64 bit cpu, then samsung can release it whenever it is ready. But then Android is not 64 bit, and optimizing android to 64 bit will take some time. So dont get your hopes up for next year.

Apple makes fully custom arm chips like quallcomm, samsung uses default arm template with no customizations in cpu and gpu part.

The K release used to be called Key Lime Pie, now officially renamed KitKat. Next release will be something starting with L.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and an Apple iPhone 5

I will get the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Apple iPhone 5S (and keep using my old iPad Mini sometimes for work)

[lomatopo]

Since it (Android 5.0) has yet to be named, at least publicly: Licorice, Lemon Drop, Lollipop, I was simply referring to the name it was called until this change for Android 4.4.

Maybe Lemon Meringue Pie?

Looks like the earliest release would be at IO at the end of June next year?

Why wouldn't you buy an iPhone again? Serious question.

You can buy something equivalent in functionality with far less restrictions for a fraction of the price. Having owned an iPhone 5 and an I mobile iqx, I would buy the iqx again should it be lost or stolen. Not the iPhone. Getting away from iTunes is a truly good thing.

Since Samsung has announced they will ship a 64-bit phone next year we'll need a 64-bit Android. That should be such a big change to warrant a 5.0, agree IO will be the most likely time to discuss the implications for developers. Or is that too late?

Sorry for going OT.

Restrictions keep your data and phone safe from viruses. It is a phone for f... Sake. Why would anyone want to use it like a computer? An unstable computer actually (android). For an average user there is nothing you miss on ios that you can get in android.

The N4 is sold out on the U.S. Play Store, and will not be re-stocked.

The GNEX 5 (LG G2?) does not look to be earth-shattering,

After reading more about the GNEX 5 it does sound pretty spiffy. I think I will get one on a trip to the U.S. during Christmas/New Year's.
