I don't know about the rest of the world but here in Australia the Black 16GB & 32GB versions of the Nexus 5 I believe will no longer be made available. Just like the Nexus 10 followed by the 7 the nexus 5 is now no longer available in the Google Play Store 'we are out of inventory, check back soon' is the message we get here down under. The white and red variants are still available but I believe only whilst stock lasts, once sold they will more then likely be labeled the same.
I couldn't help but contact Google to find out the ETA on the black variant and the response I got only confirmed my thoughts.
As quoted by a Google Sales Representative, 'the availability for Australia is certainly nil and i can only confirm that there is no ETA made available to us at this point in time, I can also confirm that we do not have any current stock shipment of the black nexus devices'.
'We do however still currently have the white and red variant available in 16/32GB in your country'.
So what are your thoughts? Has Google stopped production of the Nexus 5 and trying to sell their last stocks of the red and white variant to make way for the Nexus 6? Maybee or maybee not, only time will tell i guess, with the rumored Nexus 6 around the corner i wouldn't be surprised.
What are the stock levels in your country?

I just checked a moment ago and in the US we can order the 32 gig in all 3 colors and the 16 gig in red. Black and white are currently out of stock
It makes sense that they'll ramp down production. Better to leave 10,000 people wanting to pay full price for something that doesn't exist than to have 10,000 boxed units that no one wants to pay half price for. Supply and demand. Its 10 months old now.

Kinda reminds me a bit of the OnePlus One availability, lol...
All three variants of both sizes available here in India and delivery period is set to "Leaves warehouse in 1-2 business days".
I think they did slow down their production. I remember seeing a post here a couple of weeks ago where someone was RMA'ing his/her device and asked if they were getting a brand new phone. They were told by the rep that it will be a refurbished phone because they're not producing new ones anymore.
In the US, they're out of black and white 16GB Nexus 5. Everything else however is still available including the 16GB Red Nexus 5.
In Canada there are no black available in either size. Both are available in red. White only available in 32gb. As of a few min ago.
I agree that if the Nexus 6 is on the horizon they will start to slow or stop production of the 5. I'm sure more will be available soon tho.

Hope so my friend I gave mine to my wife when I received my OnePlus One which I sold a week later now I'm using my sons moto G, which is quite nice really but not as good as a Nexus. I could order the red one but I'm not sure if the resale value will be the same as the black when it comes time to upgrade to the Nexus 6. I think I'll wait a few more days before I order the red, but I've heard it's more like a bright orange color, not sure if i want a brought orange phone though. I guess nothing a case wouldn't cover up, lol...
So is the One Plus really not as great as everyone says since you parted ways with it? Was the Moto G just temporary before deciding to return to the Nexus 5?
They usually have Nexus 5 sales on eBay, probably wouldn't pay full retail price now. Get a new one off eBay and get a Squaretrade warranty. You'll be more than likely able to find a Nexus 5 in any color you'd like.

Thanks for the link, did you choose white by choice? Are you happy with it, I was considering the red but might be a bit to bright and not sure if resale value would be the same. Is the back of the white nexus polycarbonate?

Yes, I chose white by choice because I feel like black phones are the norm. Also, the black was sold out at the time. I'm very happy with it, but I do use a black and white case Ballistic SG MAX case for protection. I believe the back is pure plastic, then again I don't think I know what poly carbonate truly is to be honest, if I had to take a guess doesn't it kind of increase your grip? On the white Nexus 5 backing the grip is soft but very slippery. Maybe all Nexus 5 are polycarbonate I just honestly didn't know.

Review is up! Click here
*Just a foreword...I am not saying that this QI charger is better (or worse) than the Orb. This is not a comparison of any sort. Rather, I'm raising attention for this charger for those unable to get the Orb (pretty much everyone outside the US) and/or those who personally do not like the Orb. With that said, let me give you my thoughts*
Right, so I stumbled upon this very good looking QI charger for the Nexus 4, and I think it deserves a thread of its own.
Clicky here to see the product. You will find high quality pics/renders in the listing.
For a start, it looks miles better than those unsightly large ones being sold by fasttech, and the plasticky (is that a word?) "small" ones. This charger looks truly compact and I love the aluminium finish. The charging light is also well placed and not obtrusive. IMO, a beautiful device like the Nexus 4 should be used with equally beautiful hardware.
Another bonus is that this charger is actually from a reputable brand (at least in China) called Metrans. Again, I find this to be a more promising sign of quality than what the unbranded ones have to show for.
My point being, if for whatever reason you cannot or do not want to buy the Orb (I live in the UK and personally prefer to place my gadgets flat), this charger may be worth considering. I certainly think its worth buying over the massive ones sold by the likes of Energizer.
At $59, it's by no means cheap but I think its a double edged sword. Quality is usually proportional to price (Apple being the exception)
Unfortunately this seems to be a brand new product so I was unable to find any reviews. I have taken the leap however and bought one so I will update you all once it arrives. I expect it to arrive in about a week, so keep an eye on this thread if you're interested

My purchases from China usually arrive in a week
Also I did say this was for those not interested/unable to buy the Orb. It's a mixture of both for me
A final point...you say "$60 for a cheap charger", are you aware that the Orb costs the same? And $60 is by no means cheap.

Perhaps, but this might help those unable to get the Orb. Only people in the US can buy it.

I love aluminum, I'll definitely be interested in reading your review!
looking forward to your review. i am considering this as its cheaper then getting the charging orb to my country inclusive of tax
nice
Looks a lot cleaner and more attractive then the orb. The tilt of the orb has more worried about it sliding off but im not sure what its made of i just dont know why they made a charger thats tilted. But nice Post bro
Looking forward to your review. Seems like a pretty nice charger.

Only observation is that eBay seller has had no feedback for 12 months or over? They also say they have stock in UK according to description so let's see how long it takes to be delivered.
Good luck

Yh I noticed that as well, but I guess all sellers have to start with zero feedback right?
Anyway I sent him an email and it appears that the first few chargers (i.e. mine) are being sent from China but inventory will be made available in the UK in a few days.
P.S You can also buy the charger from here. Appears to be a Chinese marketplace for foreigners (like fasttech, dealextreme, etc). However the price is the same.

Quite the opposite for me, I prefer it to be flat, won't have to worry about the slippage issue some people are complaining about.
Also yh, this already wins in the looks department but hopefully my review will show that it functions just as well
I like the design. But being almost identical to the orb's pricing makes it hard for US-based buyers to justify the purchase.
I'll hold off from buying the orb for now and wait for your review.
The ebay seller is a lying sob. He claims he's a EBAY TOP RATED SELLER.
To become such a seller you need to, and I quote "Have at least 100 transactions and $1,000 in sales with US buyers over the most recent 12-month period." and "Have an eBay account that's been active for at least 90 days"
See all requirements here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/top-rated.html

Wow, calling him a "sob" seems a bit harsh. He has a small image at the very bottom of the listing saying "eBay Top Rated Seller", that could have easily come as part of the template for the listing. Anyone can see his seller rating so it would be very hard to mislead anyone.
I look forward to receiving the product doing a review so that I can prove you wrong.

it's not part of a template, it's something he intentionally added to his listing. You should be cautious with ebay sellers from china with low feedback like this and claiming that he is a top rated seller just shows the seller might be dishonest about other things in his listing. Not saying you wont get what you ordered but who knows what the quality will be like until you can review it. Ebay can be pretty sketchy esp. sellers from china imo, i wish they would add a review feature like amazon.

Thinking of getting the black version. Though I'm wondering if it's safe to order from them, since I've never tried before. Has anyone done so here? Also, I heard they jack up prices by as much as +$20, but I can't find the same item at eBay. If anyone knows a better site to order this from, please share.
P.S. Though I have seen this case for much cheaper at Aliexpress, I'm not ordering from them since they do not support PayPal, and I've heard many horrible stories from dealing with their merchants.
Thanks in advance!
It's at dx-box.com for around $30. And they do PayPal.
I don't see any speaker cut-outs, not sure how that would sound... Other than that, looks like a nice case, not sure if the case would interfere with Wifi and Signal though

It seems to work the same as the Element Eclipse case (routes the speaker hole to the front of the phone). As for signal, yeah, I'm aware of the issues with aluminum cases/bumpers. I'm willing to risk it since the case just looks so freaking sexy.
Btw, DX-BOX is legit, right? Because I'm ready to pull the trigger.

I've seen that case on ebay. Search for "saber s4 case". Looks nice but I have to wonder about how the signal strength may be affected. That and the weight.
What is strange is that a few of the auction descriptions say to take off the battery cover before using the case.
I'm willing to give it a shot. Ordered from DX-BOX two nights ago, and my order is listed as "processing". Already ready to make a PayPal dispute in case things get messy, though I hope it doesn't come to that.
I don't mind the weight either, since I like a bit of heft on my phones anyway and the S4 weighs virtually nothing.

True that. Was really no contest when it came down to the price. Just waiting for my order to be shipped out. Still says "Processing" at the moment after two days.
Well it's been 5 days since my order, and it hasn't been shipped yet. Still says "Processing", when they replied back to my complaint saying they would ship 1-2 days after I sent them my message (it's been 4 days).
Thinking of filing a PayPal dispute if a week passes with no news. Not looking good so far.
UPDATE: Been more than a week since I placed my order, and still no tracking number. "Ray" has responded to my emails but hasn't given me a tracking number yet. I understand shipping delays and everything, but I don't even have a tracking number to work with.

Hey guys!
I just ordered a metal battery door replacement for my GS4 from Casefanatic. I have to say it looks absolutely gorgeous, but functionality went down the drain. I get really bad reception with the metal back battery door.

Click to expand...

That being said, I'm only assuming that their metal cases may give the same problem, but I may be wrong.
On another note, I bought TWO battery doors since they had some sale going on. The battery doors are essentially plastic doors with a thin metal sheet glued onto them. I ordered two black, they sent me one white and one black.
After contacting customer service...
Hello Eugene,
Sorry, it seems we do not have the black frames, so they sent the white frames instead, without notifying me.
If you wish to return them, please return the case, using any standard cheap post $2 - $12, to:
Mod Edit – Some content removed
We will refund you once we receive the case.
Regards,
Charlotte - Casefanatic.com

So because of this and the fact that my connectivity gets cut, I will be sending them back.
They are overseas (China), so shipping takes a while. Customer service seems fairly speedy however. I got a response back within the same day, so they don't seem so bad!
Although I have to pay for shipping to refund the thing, at least I'll get most of my money back. Hopefully the refund process goes smooth. I'll let you guys know!
-Gene
EDIT: To the above posts with that whole "Processing" thing on the tracking website. I had the exact same thing. It said "Processing" for about a week, then suddenly showed up at my door. But whatever.. I'm hoping this refund thing goes down smooth...
Still waiting for my item to arrive. At least the tracking number finally works now. Apparently it's still at customs in Beijing. Last update was 5 whole days ago too.
still waiting?

Should development take off,TWRP backups can take a nice chunk of space,however,in all actuality,I probably won't need the extra storage,but,it's nice to have vs the alternative(s)..............
@cms062407 :
In the meantime,I definitely recommend this case,if you're interested ( The sandstone finish is similar to that found on the OnePlus' 1+1 ):

Agreed, you can never have enough storage in my opinion and I also think the Mix is a.long term keeper.
It's a great consumption and content creation tool.
I also think Android is rather memory hungry.

I understand and thanks a lot. I would be forever grateful if you could hook me up. I bought a cheapo clear case on amazon..but I can NOT stand the feel of these plastic cases....I wish diztronic or some reputable brand made a case for these...but, that will never happen with such a low production amount of these phones.
if you do sell it, just let me know and I will send you my address
again, I really do appreciate it.

Check your InBox ............................... :good:
To be quite honest with you, i'm not overly happy with the stock case:
1) earphone hole is too small. My normal earphones can't plug in. I might cut it open a bit to enlarge it.
2) Barely any screen lip - no screen protection
3) volume/power buttons don't stick out enough and are hard to find.
getting a couple cases from ebay, hopefully they are better.
I'm also looking to buy the original leather case. Mine didn't come with one due to the shortage. Unfortunately I bought it from a third party seller. I also have PayPal account. Please let me know if anyone is selling. Thanks.

I don't mean to hijack, but I'd be willing to buy someone's case. PM me an offer, I'll most likely accept.

Do any of you have the slight yellow hue at the bottom 1/3 of your screen? It's especially noticeable on the settings menu. This happened with my HTC 10, and it took 3 phones to finally get a good screen. UGH! Time to return and try again...
I have a very slight yellow tint at the bottom of the screen also, but nothing which would justify a return.
Think it could come from the screen circular polarized filter, as from the screen viewing angle, this yellow tint varies on my phone
"Kind of" same effect seen on Google Pixel 2 XL, with a blue tint on the third top of its screen:

5 Things We Learned from the Pixel 2 XL POLED Debacle (second point of linked article)
In display settings you can adjust the colour temp. Set it to a little cooler and I think it's gonna be fine . My unit is fine, no tint, no backlight bleed, everything as expected.
My new replacement from Amazon will be here tomorrow! It's kind of like the Pixel 2 pic up above, but imagine the blue at the bottom as yellow, and it's when you're looking directly at it... not at an angle. Hopefully, the second one is good.
P.S. I had no issues with the buttons!
make sure sRGB is turned off or tune it to a better color profile

So what about your replacement unit? Mine has this light yellow tint as well and I ordered it from the HTC Club/Digital River.
Just sent them a mail today from HTC.com, but I guess I'll have a reply during week days.
I'll have a chat conversation on the website too at this time to ask about a replacement.
If they can't make me a replacement, I'll ask a refund and wait a bit before making a new order with it.
Otherwise, coming from a Galaxy S7 edge, this HTC U12 is really great! Too bad I have to send it back but at this price, I guess I'd like to have a "perfect" unit
P.S.: the picture doesn't show it really well but the yellow tint is quite noticeable in real life (I was waiting for a screen protection before removing the base covers too ;p).

I just returned my replacement! I agree... If I'm spending this much money, I'm going to wait for the perfect unit. I have an HTC 10 that has an amazing screen, so if my u12 doesn't compare, I'll just send it back. Since you ordered thru HTC and it's within 30 days, I'd suggest getting a refund and ordering another. If you ask for a replacement thru warranty, you're not guaranteed a new unit (probably unlikely), but it's much easier to return with no questions asked and buy another.

So does that means your replacement unit was also affected? Oooh... better to wait before getting this U12
When I bought my Levono X1 Carbon (from Lenovo official website and it was using the Digital River platform too), the first unit had a dead pixel and I asked for a replacement. I had no problem exchanging it so I hope this will be the same for HTC.
Technically, in France, we have a return policy of 15 days from the reception day, not 30. I'm using this choice for now and will see when their desks will open on Monday. Otherwise, like I said above and on what you suggest, I'll ask a refund and order a new one. But I don't know if I'll place the order right behind the refund - I'd like to be sure if current units are affected with this yellow tint.
No one else is affected like us?

I'm not really sure? Maybe others aren't as OCD as us. Yours is definitely worse than mine, but I still couldn't deal with it. What color was your phone? Mine were both ceramic black, so maybe I'll try blue next. I'll wait a little bit to buy again too.
Have you received your replacement unit or have you already send it back?
Maybe we're the only ones affected by this yellow tint, maybe we are too OCD I'll be sure when I'll (eventually) get the new unit x)
I ordered the translucent blue one so not sure by switching colors, you'll solve any screen problem ^^
Sadly I have to deal with HTC for now as I ordered the phone in the HTC Club for the cheaper price. Otherwise, I would try with Amazon. The phones aren't supposed to be dispatched from the same depots but it might be a faulty production, so yes, better to wait before ordering one.
Yup, I returned the replacement today. I may order 2 next time, and then hopefully return only one. Ha. Stupid yellow tint.
Some news from my problem: HTC accepted to take back the defective phone and only offered me the refund option. So I'll wait a bit before making a new order Will stick with my S7 edge a bit longer =]
Great! I'm waiting for my refund to be processed before buying again. Oh, I will get one without yellow tint! ?

Placed my order for 2 x blue 64gb. Let's hope 1 doesn't have yellow tint!
Nice! Feel free to keep us to date when you receive them
Actually, in France especially, HTC mentions on their website they will ship new units at late July/early August. Maybe you'll get the last units of a « first wave ».
Hopefully during August or during September, it will be a new wave letting avoiding this yellowish tint.
I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER! It only took 4 phones to get there... Haha.

Mind posting some pics?
It's really hard to capture yellow tint or no yellow tint from a picture.
Keep it trying Just take a pic from the phone parameters and we will notice, or not
So, I received my other unit, from Amazon this time. And let's say that this unit has a worst screen than my first unit: the tint is noticeable at both bottom and top edges...
I guess I'll have to get in touch with Amazon and still hope for a homogeneous screen =o
I have been watching the development of folding devices for a few years. I've decided to go for it, as the tech seems reliable this time. I like the idea of a more compact phone like the old Motorola V3.
Pre-ordered the 128GB Version in green.
What's your thoughts?
I will be, just deciding on the colour.
I had an original Z Flip and really liked it, but there were a couple of annoyances with it - namely the inside screens protector which got oily and grubby within seconds. I could have removed it, but there were concerns over voiding warranty at the time, and I didn't really want to chance it.
The external screen was also completely pointless, something else they have remedied this time round.
The only thing making me pause, is that I know I will want the Pixel 6 Pro when that launches, and the fact that Samsung haven't done anything to these cameras from the OG Flip.
Early photo samples seem 'ok', but I may wait for official reviews before fully committing.
Just preordered my wife the pink 256gb and myself the grey 256gb version.
We have S10s now that have been great but are ready to enter the flip phone arena. She is excited about using the camera from outside cover with the pic preview option as well as the flex mode for video calls.
I am excited about a compact phone to throw in my pocket and flex mode for video calls etc.
Kind of bummed out about the 3.5mm jack but just ordered some usb C to 3.5mm adapters on amazon should be good to go.
We have $100 credit each left via samsungs website....will probably get the clear ring case for my wife and maybe leather for me. Also interested to see what Spigen comes up with, I see on amazon you can already order their cases.

I've gone for a Naked skin from Slickwraps.
Thanks I will check that one out. I'll have 5 cases in before I even get the phone
Pretty crap they don’t include the case in the box like they did with the OG Fold.
I never really liked it, but it was handy when I was out and about and wanted that extra protection!
One that's compact yet powerful and is not "bar" type = Flip 3, so probably will get one.
With 120Hz display refresh rate and not so power efficient(!) SD888, the 3300 mAh battery might become a concern.
I have the green 256gb on pre order, looking foward to a flip phone again, fold 3 is to heavy.
Trading in a 8t, I'm sure the flip 3 will take better photos??
I am watching youtube vids on flip 3, some say camera concerns. We use sammy S10's right now for the past few years, flip 3 probably has drastically better camera then our S10?
Can't imagine Samsung would release a phone with subpar cameras. Obviously, not going to be the same standard as the S21 Ultra.
Good review below
ordered the cream 256GB. After using the note9 for 3 years I'm sick of large heavy phones.
I also really miss my starTac's from the 90's.
I would have bought the Flip2 5G but I need the IP rating as I do a lot of exercising/sweating with the phone.
My only concern is the wireless charging/NFC with a magentic mount such as scosche. I have wireless charging everywhere (car, bedroom, office, lounge, kitchen).. so battery life is not a concern.
Like the previous post, I've got tired of big heavy phones (currently Note10+) but also just looking forward to having something a bit different. Phones have got really samey and just not as much fun to own anymore. Hoping the flip 3 brings back the excitement of owning something a bit different, even if I will have to charge it every 5 min
my gf have the original flip, the first one. (hey, of course she want it, i'm the one that paid for it).
it' time to upgrade to flip3 since the more you fold/open/close the flip, the crease going to get worse.
i ordered the 256gb flip3 since it' the same price as the 128gb flip3 with the 50$ credits applied to 256gb flip3.
I got mine today works great, looking forward to root and ROMS!

Finally found the man who's responsible for companies making phones thinner and thinner before 2020, thus providing smaller and smaller batteries.
Pre-order grey 256GB and seem like next month only can get it here at Malaysia. I'm after the technology as Samsung said screen is 80% better than before. Camera seem not really superb but usable as daily use.

I'm doing the same. Got a OP8 5G through a tmobile promo half off so i only paid about $400 for it if I remember correctly. Now tmobile is giving me $1000 trade-in credit for it. The offer is just too good to pass up, even though I'm really going to miss my OP8

I think I must plead guilty, after years of giant phones I've genuinely had enough and am ready for a change
