Awesome. I see a lot of port in the near future

Zips just got one. I took a look at one today. I don't think I like it.

I was considering one, but it doesnt have removeable sd card and 16gb is just not really enough for me. Hopefully they come out with a similar htc phone that is more like the new sprint evo with removeable storage.

+1 the lack of expandable memory and no removable battery is what drove me away from this device and finished concluding my mind set on the amaze.
I have a 32gb SD and I'm already over 16gb and too me, drop box is an inconvinience and really do not trust it.

My bother had the phone for 2 days. He work for tmobile. And it have great battery life. He went a whole day with usage and at the end if the he had over 30 something percent life. And he talk on the phone like a school girl. I myself have a 8gb card but since I have a mp3 It's never filled. I just use it for games and back up. so the phone is perfect for me.

The non-removable battery is a little off-putting, but I think I might overlook the 16GB storage limit. Music is what takes up most of my 16GB SD card, but I'm considering uploading my entire iTunes library to Play Music. And maybe every few days, I'll change up the albums I download to my phone. I only really use the music for working out so I just need a few hours worth of songs. Has anyone tried Play Music this way?

Yup, I have over 2,000 songs on play and I stream it through my tablet instead of using the internal storage and sdcard. It's so much more convenient

I know Google advertises that you can upload 20,000 songs for free, but is that (for lack of a better word) a gimmick? My library sits at approximately 7000 songs, equivalent of about 40GB of music. So Google is just giving away about 120GB of cloud space for free? Seems too good to be true, but if it is, I'm on board.

I'll be at the one s hopefully

So you're saying that carrying your cell phone and an extra, bigger device with you to listen to music is more convinient than just having your music in an SD card in the one only, smaller device that fits in your pocket?

It'll probably take me a good while to upload it all but I'll give it a shot. Probably a good idea to have an online backup of all my music, should my hard drive and iPod crash. If I really can upload my entire library, the 16GB strike against the One S has gotten that much smaller. The only con left I can think of is that it won't be compatible with T-Mo's 4G LTE network when it goes up in a year (according to a review I read on USA Today). But since my upgrade will expire well before that, I may as well pull the trigger.
By the way, has anyone heard about a $100 discount from T-Mo if you trade in your current 4G smartphone? I briefly heard something to this effect on the radio this morning but didn't pay close attention.

Especially since they have flash counters now, and I read that there's another counter for how many times you reset the flash counter as well.

Yea, i was smart to wait til I got back on campus to do mine. My download and upload speeds here are insane. I uploaded about 20gb of music over night. Opposed to my dad who's still probably uploading his. He can't do it during the day cause my brothers hog the bandwidth with their ipods, phones and consoles to stream netflix and play mw3. I hate my Internet at home. Lol
And t-mo does do that I think.

Given what I've seen looking into kernel/framework code for the SGS4G, I'd want as much internal memory as I could get. Using a FAT-formatted card and "faking" a permissions-protected file system on top of that is just an ugly hack.
Burned once by the 1G in the SGS4G, I'm already wary of T-Mobile's decision to ship the Note II with the minimum internal memory that they can be configured with.

It seems like the trend for storage is cloud now, and with unlimited plans like the new one from T-Mobile it is starting to make sense to me....especially with multiple android devices. The external SD card days may be numbered.

Wow, a quad-core processor already? This may just be the next phone I purchase. @Jeff, do you really think you'd use up all of that 8GB for ROM & apps? That question sounds sarcastic and rhetorical, but i'm genuinely curious, especially since you know much more of how Android works than I do.

Its not so much about how much you use but the partitions. But being as it is a nexus device it has to follow the open source guidelines so that should never be a issue. matter of fact I dont think any phone that is not a Samsung uses a proprietary partition system like bml and such.

If it is a $50 difference over a two-year lifespan of the phone, that is something like $2 a month. For that, I'd rather not have to hope that app/data size wouldn't grow quickly. For example, I bought some motherboards for lightly loaded servers a couple years ago. I though that 1 GB would be plenty of memory for them. Now I'm cursing that I can't expand them over 2 GB as they only have one DIMM slot.
I don't know where things are going, but I am sure that the phone manufacturers would love to be able to get you to buy a new phone sooner rather than later. A related example is that Intel had a big problem in the mid 90s -- they realized that their processor power was getting to the point where any home user would not need to upgrade. So they invested heavily in digital TV, cable, and broadband so that there was demand for faster processors.

I think I might be able to get this

What about wifi calling?

Would've been perfect but the lack of a microSD card slot and the lack of a 32gb model killed it for me. 16gb just simply isn't enough to hold my music collection as well as my pictures and videos and if you're an audiophile like me, then you know that music just streaming off the cloud won't cut it compared to music at 320kbps or lossless stored on the device itself. I wanna be able to listen to music while I'm on a roadtrip or on a plane, so if I have to rely on cloud service, I won't have most of my music with me... Unless they make a 32gb model, looks like I'm taking the iPhone 5 route...it was either a nexus android phone (I just cannot take the lack of updates anymore) or a iPhone and well the nexus was this close but they just had to have one downfall...you would think that they would have figured it out by now but no...

No.
You are using a mobile device not a high end audio system at home.
Pictures would be better backed up to the cloud using something like Picassa or dropbox. That way they can be viewed anywhere.
I dont like the idea of being limited to a certain size of internal memory and no sdcard. But only because if the internal memory goes wonkers it costs more to replace than buying a new sdcard. Not because I want to claim to be a audiophile and need 320kbps files on my phone.

Okay yeah, this is a mobile device but why not make the most out of what you have? Why listen to crappy really compressed mp3's when you can store things at 320kbps where compression is minimal. With a good pair of headphones, I can hear the difference. It doesn't take a super high end system. I wanna be able to enjoy my music on the go, there's nothing wrong with that..even on YouTube you can tell the difference in sq between 720p and anything below it.
But what's the point in argueing about that on a phone forum, we both agree that we would rather not be confined to only 16gb of internal storage.. I don't understand why can't they simply include it. Every year, that's what people ask for and yet every year, they have to have some downfall.
Nexus S: No external storage and no HD Video Recording

The biggest reason..cost. They dont care if you are willing to pay for it. They are looking to make a unlocked unrestricted phone. Its kinda like not putting LTE radios in. They are looking to make a good phone that is cheap enough people can buy it and not spend 600 bucks. They have found 350 is the price most people will pay for a unlocked phone and not be upset.
16GB is the point they can produce a phone and still make money at the 350 price point.

I think it's just part of the push towards cloud storage. The slight reduction in audio quality in return for the convenience of having their complete audio and video library on all of their devices is a trade I think the majority (not all ) of consumers have no problem with. Besides, with the trend of wider bandwidth for less money that has been with us since dial-up, I don't think it will be such a long time before the streaming quality improves further....historically that's what it's always done.
If audio is your prime concern then I would be more concerned with the type of DAC's in the phone as ultimately that will give you your real world "ceiling" on your audio quality.
I think Google had done fantastic job of providing the consumer with a feature packed, unlocked phone at a hell of a price. Much like with the N7 this will force down the prices of other manufacturers products in order to compete...a win for the consumer.
For anyone that thinks this phone isn't a great deal, Google "unlocked GS3 or iPhone 5" and get back to me.
Plus Whitehawkx, Romann, and the other aokp guys have been lighting up Twitter with tweets about how eager they are to get one, so the development should be strong right off the bat.
Just my 2 cents lol

But think about it, it takes a lot more battery to steam music and continually use data in the background than it does to simply play music on your phone's memory. And what are you supposed to do when say you are on a roadtrip where signal is edge at best or when you are in a subway or plane where you don't have any signal at all? When I have a smart phone, it is my all-in-one device. It holds my music, works as my GPS, and acts as my phone. And what about apps? The whole point of the smartphone is to have apps right? Where are you gonna store your apps and games if they continue to go the cloud route and completely remove internal storage? Imagine using this galaxy s 4g without the 16gb micro sd card. In my opinion, that would be horrible. I don't wanna have to carry around an extra mp3 player around with me just to be able to fit less than half of my music collection. I don't think adding a micro SD card slot would have added that much to the costs. Whatever. I personally have no problem at all with signing a phone on contract because really, I am just saving money on the phone and paying as much as I would on a prepaid non-contract plan. I don't really see what is so bad with that. It would be more of a hassle switching constantly to different service providers than it would be to just stay with one.

[Q] [Poll] Are you getting 16GB or 32GB?

I haven't decided. I have the 32GB nexus 7 2013 and I haven't used more than 10GB honestly. I put movies on it, watch them, then delete them on the device when I'm done... My music is on the cloud and I only use this at home.
I can say I won't be putting movies on my N5 and the apps will be on the more productive side of things rather than entertainment. i think the only things that will take up most space are my TWRP and titanium backups. Music will be on the cloud as well.
I personally think 16GB is more than enough for anyone who uses Google Services and does not rely on their N5 as their primary media device. I feel that tablets require more space in general though...

I will get the 32gb on my 16gb n4 my music took a lot of storage so no room for games apps etc...

It really depends if the 32gb is 50 or 100$ more and how much money I have at that time. Honestly I'd be okay with 8gb but I'd rather have too much storage than not enough.

32GB all the way. I do not use cloud services for music(in canada not even sure if they are available to me yet) so music fills my phone VERY fast. I have to keep deleting or moving things on my current phone when i wand to add a movie or game to it. Games also take up a large part. Can never have to much storage and the price is normally not different enough to not make it worth it. I mean if the 32GB was twice the price then i would go for 16 but if it's like 50-100 bucks then why not.

I'm basically in the same boat. First I bought the 16gb N4 and barely used any space. I never store anything on it because I'm a flashaholic. I flash a new ROM at least once a week, and I don't want to have to deal with transferring stuff to my phone after every flash. When the Nexus 7 2013 came out, I decided to give my storage space a bump to 32gb because I thought I'd install more games and stuff. Same situation; I flashed new stuff all the time so I barely used the space. I've actually started settling down on the flashing of my tablet for just those reasons. I'm going to start putting those games and maybe shows on my tablet.
So to answer your question: I'm not 100% sure yet. I'm more than happy to shell out the extra dough for expanded storage even if I might need it, but if I never end up using it, I don't want to feel like I wasted that extra money. If only I could see the future and tell my future needs

32gb for sure but my 16gb nexus hasent really yet got storage problems as i got 3 big games 3 songs and not many videos yet but i can say a lot of photos happily n5 will have otg i hope! right now i really got big screen hunger i want to work whit big screen nexus is small i mean for a phone not but i want to try a tablet but im also addicated to nexus feelings and stuff!!! i wish google also announce new nexus 10 so i can at least see

16GB, I don't store things on my phone so 16GB is more than enough.

In the same boat on whether to get the 16 or 32 if it will be out. my n4 still has a lot of space. i'll probably just stick with the 16gb if ever.

[Q] Should I wait a couple of months to buy a Nexus tablet?

[Q] Should I wait a couple of months?
Hello everyone,
In this ever-changing technological world, buying a new cellphone or tablet need to be thought through.
Here's my problem: for a couple a months I've really wanted to buy a Nexus 7 (2013). These days, prices are at an all time low here in France [189 Euros on Amazon, still 229 Euros on the PlayStore].
Anyway, I was wondering if it would be wise to buy a Nexus 7 now with Google I/O two months from now. The thing is; is there a chance that Google will reveal new tablets and launch a new Nexus 7 after the conference? Because if so I'd rather way a couple of months and get the latest from Google.
Anyhow, I'd like to get your opinion on that.
Thanks for your replies.
Ps: I'm making a poll for people who want to give their opinion without having to write anything

I'd personally wait. I had thoughts of upgrading as my Nexus 7 (2012) is starting to charge unreliably. However, as we are only a few months away from the typical new release I figured I'd wait. Still have hope for an sd card slot in this year's model.

Yeah, I have a slim hope but I know Google is pushing cloud so maybe that hope is in vain. I love cloud storage. Between Dropbox and Google Drive (and Google Plus unlimited photo backup), it covers just about everything I need. However, I think they are forgetting that many of their tablets are wifi only and you are often without wifi. I'd like to be able to load up some movies before a trip for the kids and that is hard on my 8 gb (not really 8 gb) Nexus 7. And with some games starting to take up 1-2 gb (which cloud storage cannot help), it is starting to get more and more obsolete.

I have a Nexus 10, and wanted a smaller tablet. For me the ~8" size is the ideal. I decided to not wait for the rumored Nexus 8, and purchased a GalaxyTab Pro 8.4. Excellent tablet, but Samsung's customizations and bloatware are terrible.
I would rather prefer a "Google Play Edition". Just installing unofficial Cyanogenmod now! :good:

We're in the same boat. I badly want the N7 2013, I'm going to take it though. The 2014 one might be a lot better but it will be very similar, unless the announcement says it can make and receive calls. The memory card slot isn't that big a problem as I'm planning on using OTG with my 64GB USB.

The thing is that I don't want to buy it if Google sells them cheaper once the new tablets are announced -or even before like they did for the N4.

LG Nexus 5 16GB - Still worth it?

Hey guys tomorrow I may be getting a new smartphone and I was thinking if the LG Nexus 5 (16GB) is still worth it. The maximum I can afford is 350 euros. I'm not gonna pay more than that. I also have the option to choose between this one and LG G3S 8GB or LG G2 16GB. Which should I get and why? Thank you.

Out of those three get the Nexus, although if you can find one get a 32GB just for peace of mind. As for why, it's a Nexus so it's just better

Be careful when buying from craigslist IMO. I bought mine from a guy who posted his ad on craigslist.. worked for 2-3 days then it wouldn't work. it turned out the phone was stolen and got blacklisted at least in Canada.

I haven't had trouble on craigslist. If you go that route have the person meet you at your service provider so they can check the imei. Works for me.

Yuup! Totally worth it. I have been using a Nexus 5 16GB for about 4 months now. Although a 32GB version is recommended if u can afford it, since Nexus 5 don't have External Memory!

I'd take a 1+1

If you game a lot on your phone, get the 32GB.
I have the nexus 16GB and a nexus 7 tablet where I do my gaming on.

Huh?

Too bad I couldn't find the 32GB version anywhere. Where I live this phone is sold out. All I could find is the 16GB version on a website. I've already ordered it. I'm gonna be satisfied with it but it's really a pain in the oven the fact that I couldn't find the 32gb version. By the way I'm no expert in rooting/kernels/roms etc but from what I can see this phone has very good support. Thanks guys!!
EDIT: Guys, I just got owned. The same website sells LG G2 32GB at 350 euros. Would you guys cancel the order for this new option?

Too late. But I'm still satisfied. 16GB is gonna be enough for me. I'm not an enthusiastic gamer but I do like to play sometimes. Usually if I get tired of a game I just delete it. I'm not into music so much, so songs don't bother me so much. A couple of apps wouldn't even get closer to 1GB (I'm not talking about gaming apps). I don't know about the typical sizes of kernels/roms but I think 16GB is plenty for my needs. Thanks.

The OS is about 5 GB so you`ll have about 11 GB of user space left.

Well, I'll learn to survive at the limit. In the future (2,5+ years later if it endures all the pain) I'll probably switch to N6 32GB.
The fact that the OS's size is 5GB sounds like a 'tricky scam' from the producers to me. The phone should have about 21GB total memory not 16 then.

I ended up cancelling the order lol. I had ordered an anti-shock protection as well for the N5 but what's interesting is that they'd bring them to me separately (two different transport packages lol - which is more expensive). I sent a message to them saying if they could bring those 2 requests together and they said no, they had to bring them separately. I ended up cancelling both of them.

I had one and sold it, couldnt deal with their bull**** system. So many bugs and quirks, granted its a new company, but not for me. Went back to the N5 for the stability.
