all right don't throw me out of xda just after reading the title or may be because this is not the right place to post it (i don't see where it is either )
we all are die-hard nexus fans so i, if not we have every right to do all sorts of speculation and dreamings.
so what will be the next iteration of nexus be like???....i mean we are hearing a lot of buzz about flexible screen, wrap around screen and even whole damn phone being flexible (looking at you mr g flex :good
will the next "android 5.0" may be, or whatever 4 point something google wants to name it , be developed to explore the most out of the flexible...wrap around...u got me...type of screen by stock android itself or it will be left to OEMs to do that...
There's already a Nexus 7... Does that screw with your mind?? :-O

Now... I've been wanting a Nexus 7 ever since it was announced, but only now that I can afford one.
But now I see I've got a chance to buy a 16gb Nexus 4.
I was planning on continuing to use my Nexus S as it totally rocks running CM10.1 and using the Nexus 7 for browsing the web around the house and playing games.
If I would buy the Nexus 4 I would obviously not afford the Nexus 7 for a while. But the Nexus 4 is such a sexy piece of hardware and it has a much better camera than the Nexus S and I've got a baby on the way and I would love to be able to take good pictures and HD videos of my little ones.
Help me decide!
Nexus 7 + Nexus S
Or
Nexus 4 only

Nexus 4 ftw nexus 7 doesn't have a rear facing camera and the glass is extremely fragile ... Go have a look at the nexus 7 general section where people are complaining about their nexus 7 glass cracking for no reasons

Really tough one, but go with the Nexus 4. Carrying two devices at the same time is real pain in that part of the body .
I vote for Nexus 4 as well.
Wow... no love for the larger screen of the Nexus 7?
Granted, I use my Nexus S for reading, checking facebook, Pulse News, Flipboard etc. I often wish for a larger screen, but I might just be fine with 4,7 inches.
nexus 10 is available now

Yes, and it looks awesome. But I just don't want a 10 inch tablet. Too big in my opinion.

Just go with a Nexus 4.
Nexus 4!
But honestly if i got the money i'll save it 'til Nexus 5 arrives, or until nexus s completely loses support from all devs
Nexus s+7 too many reported issues for the n4. I'd actually choose gn or gn2 over n4. Reports issues: fragile, overheating, and cracking around speaker.

Much more support for the Nexus 4, but the few comments for the Nexus 7 do keep me going both ways...
I´ll tell you one thing that might change the odds a little...
I am in Iceland... A 16gb Nexus 4 is 99.900 ISK = 775 USD. A 32gb Nexus 7 is 59.900 ISK = 465 USD.

Ouch! That's just about the same here in Manila. Woe for us non-Play Store countries.
Nexus 4 FTW!!!. People have been complaining about the Nexus 7 lagging on games. (Not sure about that. My friend bought one from Hong Kong and said it lags sometimes) The glass on the N7 is also really fragile IMO. Good thing you can get it at a Google Play rate, in Singapore, it is about $USD465.

Wow, that's a serious ripp-off for N4 in Iceland. I would not buy it for that kind of money.
In Croatia, N7 32GB is around 365$, that is also kinda high for our standard, but yet it's more affordable than Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and Apple iPad Mini. N4 is unavailable and probably won't hit the stores until late spring.
No hardware in Croatian Play Store in either...

Hy there, for the past 5 months i have been using a combination of nexus s as a phone for when i am out and a nexus 7 for where i am at home. And i must say that this combimation really works. When i am out i don't necessarily need the greatest performance for gaming and simmilar but i appreciate the form factor of my nexus s. But when i am at home i have my nexus 7 for gaming and multimedia. I must say that the performance of nexus 7 on the latest games is very good with an appropriate rom and kernel. If you still like your phone like i do, then i would recommend going with two device combo(weak phone+tablet) rather than one extra powerful phone. And on the battery side of things as i primarily use my tablet at home and i have my phone in a dock whenever i go out, my phone battery is always charged as opposed if i had just the phone and would be using it at home

If you didn't have a tablet before, go for the Nexus 4.
If you did have a tablet before, go for the Nexus 4.
If you get tortured by your neighbor, go for the Nexus 4.
If you like sitting on the toilet for 2.4820 hours, go for the Nexus 4.
If you do(n't) sound familiar with the above lines, go for the Nexus 4.
:laugh:
I'm actually swaying toward the NS+N7 combo.
I'm seeing a lot of threads about issues with the N4. I'm not the type who has to have the newest gadgets so I think I might just wait until most of the issues with it have been resolved and then it might have reduced in price a bit here in Iceland.

I head rumors that the new nexus will is labeled under code name "Naked"
This phone will be so thin and flexible. They accomplished this by not including a hardshell or case, but something flexible and soft. THink of softshell crab.
Google figured that since 80% of the folks out there use put a case in a case that it would be counter intuitive to to sell a phone with a case.
Battery will be silver soldered on the flexible screen.
Sold my z1 yesterday and pick up my nexus 5 today, have I made the right move?? I'm using nexus 7 and love it,so hope I enjoy N5

Not to be rude but you should of already known that everyone on this side of the forum will say "of course you made the right decision" and the Z1 side will more than likely oppose.
I never played with the Z1 but the main highlights of the Nexus 5 is the affordable price for pretty decent specs, speedy updates from google and Dev support! Hopefully you'll enjoy your new purchase/trade.
sent from my neXus 5
I agree with OuncE, but so you have some opinion on the matter... i came from the Z and the Z1s, after that. If the z1s had an unlockable boot loader and was slightly cheaper, i probably would have kept it, but Ultimately the price, customizability and mostly comparable specs pulled me to the nexus.
USB otg has been a decent help with expanding the storage capacity, and custom kernels have great battery saving options. Beyond that, the Dev community and timely official updates make this phone pretty worth while, but that's just my opinion.
A parting piece of advice: you'll enjoy this phone more if you focus on what it can offer than if you focus on what it lacks.

HI my name is mark i just traded in my water proof,drop proof sports car for a sports car that isn't water proof or drop proof

Point is both of em have their good's and bad's the Nexus 5 will always be one step ahead of the game with updates
but personally i would have taken the Z1

Yes mate you have made the right move i did excactly the same as you and sold my z1 for the Nexus 5
Only wished I'd got the Nexus 5 to start with

I would normally agree with the sentiment shared.
Though the nexus forums seen to tolerate G2 owners running in most threads knocking/comparing their choice to the N5.
This I've never saw in any other xda forum but this one. Just about makes me want to find another forum.
On topic, I think you did OK with your trade, might be a lesser costing phone, but the experience of plain android makes up for options imo.

You tell us if you made the right move.
We say yes because we all own the phone.
I would have kept the Z1. That phone makes me drool.
I am planning to buy a new android phone and shortlisted Nexus 5 and Xperia ZR. I think Nexus 5 would be a better choice because of its large development support but question in my mind is "Is it worth waiting for Nexus 6?". There is no fixed date for Nexus 6 but hopefully it will be announced in Q4 of this year. Please suggest, should i buy nexus 5 or wait for nexus 6? Is it worth waiting for?
From my research cons of nexus 5 that i don't want to get with are: Battery life and Camera. And both of these might get upgraded in Nexus 6.
Thanks in advance.
We don't even know if there will be a 6. The rumour mill says not. Its an impossible question

Google confirmed that the nexus program isn't going anywhere. There probably will be a successor to the nexus 5,it would only make sense since android L supports 64 bit, maybe even put more than 3gb. Who knows, it's all speculation

Afaik google only confirmed the nexus tablet range. But as we both said it's all speculation so it would be ridiculous to try and base any purchasing decision on an unknown future.

Should i go for nexus 5 then? The thing that is making me worried about nexus is its battery, is there any way i can fix it?
Or i should go for something else?
The battery is fine. Go for what you want. Read reviews. Its pretty old now. Only 9 months left of updates.
