darrenm Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 That'd be different to every other nexus phone launch then. The nexus s was slightly late and was more like January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) The Nexus 4 was released on 13th of November. I am assuming Google are trying to make that earlier and closer to the iPhone launch and further away from Christmas to boost sales. Given how much it's leaked recently I'd make an estimation it'll be announced in early to mid october and ship at the end of the month.

The_Rev Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Like most things, release dates are dictated by US market conditions. Ideally you want your product on shelves before Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Thursday in November. It's relatively late this year (Nov 28) but I'd still expect to see the Nexus 5 released in mid November in America. We might have to wait a couple of weeks beyond that.

Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I cannot wait to have a play with the Nexus 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It seems it's not as much based on the G2 as we'd think. Sceen isn't 5.2 inches, buttons will be on the sides. It looks like an iteration on the N4 design. It'll probably be heavier than the G2 too. Probably same innards though and hopefully the same camera. Shame about the atrocious Camera UI in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Interesting, thanks CV. I get my HTC one X tomorrow, should I be excited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've got the One X, it's pretty decent. Only a 720p screen which you'd expect considering it's a year and a half old, and I still kind of miss having an SD card slot and removable battery, but despite its plastic body it feels very solidly built, it's a nice size and spec wise, it's good enough to handle anything that can be thrown at it, and it likely will for quite some time. I wouldn't buy one at this point, certainly not ahead of the Nexus, but I don't intend to get rid of mine any time soon, there's still nothing out that feels like a huge upgrade from the One X.

Guest Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'll get the Nexus 5 on contract, I've decided that. What is battery life like one the One? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 EBay can be hassle though. Plus they then take a chunk out of your PayPal payments plus then send you an invoice after selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sent my S3 to envirofone today, hurrythehellup I want my Nexus 7 Always better money selling it in ebay or on an adverts site. I don't use ebay or paypal. I got royally screwed over something I sold and paypal took his side, even though I sent proof in. Cost me £55... So, along with the fee, postage and problems, Envirfone with it's instant payment was the better choice for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm weighing up whether to order the Note 3, it'll be the first phone I've bought outright instead of on contract. Do prices tend to stay high for a while? As the Note 2 is still just shy of £400 a year after release and when the successor is announced, I assume it's a safe bet that the price won't drop significantly after the first month or two?

The_Lions_Roar Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The price won't drop for a while and when it does it won't be a massive drop. Certainly not one worth waiting for. I made that mistake with the s3 waiting for it to drop which didn't really happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
