Ordered a Nexus 4 today off Google Play Store. 16GB with 1-2 Weeks Shipping according to email.
Love my One S, but I've had it in the back of my mind, and when I checked randomly at work 30 minutes ago, Well behold the things are back in stock for first time in over a month.
It was fate. I snagged one.
Appreciate the all the great Roms and Devs. Hope to see some of you over one the Nexus 4 boards in a couple weeks.
Nice hopefully they will stay in stock till the end of the week. Need to buy mine.
I was thinking about getting one. I probably would have a litttle bit back if it wasn't out of stock. I love the Nexus series as they are easy to unlock and have GREAT developers. Developers who actually code from SCRATCH
I've decided against the Nexus 4 because it is not that much of an upgrade at all to the One S. No more memory (maybe a 3-4gigs if the N4 handles nand differently) and no better performance. I guess I'll just wait for the next Nexus or the SGSiv. N4 doesn't sell it for me...
Have fun, now leave!
Sorry to see you go. You were like a son to me

S4 pro is a lot better than s4... The screen is a lot better than the one S screen.

can you give us a little review after a week or so about battery life and so on I think it will be very beneficial to us One S users who may be considering the same move. Always good to hear from someone who has had the same device.

Im in the hunt for a new phone. Ive been thinking about buying the new Z3 Compact when its launched but I cannot stand the modified android version the different manufacturers are using, I HAVE to run vanilla or close to it. I know I could root any phone and install stock android on it but im not sure if its worth the hassle for me considering it takes time to make a stable rom etc.
The perfect phone would be a smaller Nexus 5 in my mind, good usability in one hand and fast updates. I guess it wont exist in the near future tho?
Is it a smart decision to buy the Nexus 5 today?
Get one. If you don't like it you can return it. Only you can decide if you like the N5
N5

I just received mine in the mail today, I love it. It feels so sturdy and solid, I will be keeping it for a long time.
I forgot to mention, I have used the N5 for a couple of weeks and I really like it. Do you think I just should go for it?
absolutely ! go and buy one !
Get it and start having a great time with the Nexus5 on XDA!
I have owned every nexus made and the nexus 5 is an amazing device. I highly recommend it
I know the N5 is an awesome device, I'm just worried about the Android silver program being released and all of a sudden there are plenty of "nexuses" around to chose from. Do you guise think it will be announced any time soon?

Hard to say... but don't hold your breath!
I don't see how any android silver device could touch the $350 price tag. Your only competition would be the moto x in this price point.

I had the 16 GB nexus 5 from sprint... Traded it so I could get the gs5...I now have a 32gb nexus 5 and my gs5 is sitting in my dresser
The nexus 5 is great
I would shoot for the 32 tho

Asking in the Nexus 5 forum whether or not to buy the Nexus 5? Great!
Anyways, just like the others, I will suggest you to get it but the Nexus 6's rumors have started again and this time around it's been manufactured by Motorola!
Alright, I'm getting the nexus. You guise convinced me. Now I just have to decide on colour! What do you guise think about the different colours?

Different colours for different schmullers. Pick whats best for you. This also goes for custom roms. Dont ask us when you get it what rom you should use. Please just make up your own mind.
You have had help deciding whether or not to get the nexus 5 I think it is best you decide which color you like when you get to the store or if your purchasing online then look at the colors there. The color part isn't much of a big deal and mainly comes down to personal preference. So I think it would be best for you to decide on your own

Seems there's been a mass defection.. I still think it's a great phone. Running stock with fla2s kernel mine scores way higher (4600 antutu) than the G5.
I'll have mine in 6months.will you?
I'm keeping mine indefinitely. I've already upgraded to the 2014 Moto X and iPhone 6 but still use the N5 at work. I'm probably getting that Saygus V2 at which point the N5 will go in the museum. I always sell my old devices to help offset the cost of new ones, but the N5 is something special, so I'll likely never get rid of it.
Still enjoying mine. Some have sold their Nexus5, but others are still buying it!
No issues here with mine. The n6 is way too big for my liking.

Still using mine. I'm keeping an eye on the zen phone 2, saygus v2, and the m9... But so far it's in the air.
I'm happy.

Thanks guys. I hope that we can keep devs interested, like fla2,and his great work on kernels. In the stickies I can no longer find a full list of roms and kernels like there was.
Hope Lethargy is seeing to it-BTW well done with your new post! The more stay the more support from devs we will keep. IMO it's a classic design. Easy to repair, cheap, and still fast and powerful. If mine broke today I'd replace it with the same. As someone says the 6 is too big.

There's still a high level of development on the N4 forum so I am rather confident for the future.
Should I get the OPO, or wait for the confirmed OnePlus Two? I mean, in a blog post, 3 winners of a photo contest get hands on w/ the two in hong kong. It's coming in Q3. Should I wait? Or gun it? I am stuck w/ an apple iphone 5 so :/
You should go for it. The price doesn't get better than what it is right now, $249 for the 64GB, and $349 with one year of Dropbox Pro. Plus, I read somewhere that OP is going to use the invite system to sell the OP2, which unless you don't mind the hassle is kind of a pain in the ass. I am keeping mine until I get more details about the OP2, if it doesn't come with a fingerprint support, I will probably move to next Nexus 6, but keep the OPO as my back up phone.

If I was faced with the same decision I'd still buy the OnePlus One now. It's cheap, you don't need an invite anymore, and it's a beast of a phone. The OnePlus Two isn't going to be as cheap, and they'll be reverting to the invite system again.

Yup, just go for it, considering the price.
I just received mine Saturday & I tell you the truth, I am very satisfied even after ditching my HTC One. I enjoy everything about this device & it sure is a beast indeed. Go for it, you won't regret it.

It's hard to know to be honest... I've had the OPO since July of last year and, as everyone in this thread has said, it's an amazing phone, and that doesn't even include the price. I would say it depends on what you're interested in. If you like having the 'latest and greatest' phone with the newest CPU / GPU and most RAM (like me ) etc, I'd wait. But if you just want a great phone that will be able to run the next few versions of Android and all the apps in the world (minus some future games that require OpenGL ES 3.1 or something, but that's a good way off yet!) and has a great community to back that up (even when OnePlus leave it behind), as well as an amazing price, I'd go for it.
Had the same kinda question facing me. Stick with my Nexus 5 until the end of the year when the OP2 or new Nexus' are out, or go for the OPO.
Went for the OPO. Blows my N5 out of the water and will take me until the end of the year. If the phones i mentioned above are too expensive I'm happy keeping the OPO into next year.
Helps i got £100 for my N5.
Feels like such a premium phone. Took it to work on Friday and people were amazed that it cost so little.
Still a fantastic phone for the price had mine well over a year and still going strong was considering upgrading this month but I am sticking with the OPO for longer. It does everything I need on a phone the screen is still good, battery life is excellent, takes decent daylight photos and is fluid on CM12.1.

Hey guys, this seems like the most relevant thread to post in, but I agree with some of the previous comments, I really like the specs on the OPO, I currently have an HTC M8, with the same chipset, which runs phenomenal, however AOSP ROMS aren't the best for HTC Devices, they've always suffered from a lot of bugs, and GPE support has started to lag behind with the M9 being out.
I just purchased a 64gb model and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive. My question is, how is the overall build quality of this device? I wasn't impressed with the N5 build quality and from videos and pics, this phone looks solid, but I've read about numerous users complaining about touch screen issues. Is this phone pretty solid? And how are AOSP ROMS on this device? Pretty bug free? Thanks!

Giving the PH-1 another shot, as my HTC U11 is starting to have all sorts of issues. Had the PH-1 pre-ordered and received the first batch last summer, but had issues with it. A lot of light bleed on the screen and awful touch responsivness were the main problems.
Couldn't pass up on this deal, especially the Halo Grey version with its matte backing. I know Essential has come a long way since last summer/early fall, so I'm excited about it. I came very close to buying it last week for over $500 on Amazon.
Now to do research on unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
For UK users buying from Amazon .com that has to be deal of the century

Are these still bad with T-Mobile?
I just ordered one myself. I'm on the ZTE Axon 7 and really don't need a phone until it blows up but that deal is too good to pass up. Now I'm just mentally trying to justify it vs. waiting for the next generation stuff.
I guess I get bumped up from a Snapdragon 820 to 835, bluetooth 4.2 to 5, Android P developer previews, and a bunch of other people probably bought one today as well.
What an awesome deal! Tempted to buy another lol
I'm using it on T-Mobile and I have no issues. Love my PH-1. Running rooted Android P Dev preview

T-Mobile issues
I just ordered one of these for $250, because why not at that price.
Does anyone have any links to read about the issues with T-Mobile ? I read briefly that there is some configuration fix or did this come with one of the updates?
Ordered here in UK this is too good to pass great deal.
Just ordered one as well. What is a good provider to use this on in New England? Right now I have Google Fi. I know this isn't one of the "compatible" devices, but it *should* work on some gsm bands with it until I find a better company to use.
Just ordered one as an upgrade from my T-Mo G6. The G6 is starting to have Bleed issues on the display and the 32GB is just not cutting it for me. I'm really nervous from some of the posts I've read. This phone seems to be really polarizing with some loving and some hating. Here goes nothing!
yeap I was looking two weeks ago at swappa... and I almost but one on a good condition and change my mind.... now I wake up today booom!!! i got it on Halo Gray.... well hello everyone i will try to be a regular here
Just bought this = Halo Gray.
Q1. Does the Gcmod5 camera work well on the PH-1? Actually, does any replacement camera app outperform the stock camera app?
Q2. I got the 360 camera attachment. Is it a keeper or return?
Q3. How is the mono speaker?
Q4. Will this phone get additional Android updates?
My current device is the HTC U11+. It runs well, great battery, screen, color, sound. However, this Essential deal is too good to pass up. I have missed stock Android, security updates and this PH-1 hardware is beautiful.
I have also ordered the PH-1, got it in Halo Grey (best color for me) , I hope it will runs like a charm.
Btw, I saw someone asking about GCam, I'm also curious if there any apk available or a mod

Just ordered one....looking to upgrade from my trusty old Nexus 6p
Grabbed one... Been looking for a deal on a decent compact phone and couldn't pass this up! I actually ordered a Moto X4 on Sunday and will likely be sending it back as I think the Essential Phone will trump the Moto X4

Android updates are fats,very fast you get monthly security updates same day as Google phones,the Google cam mode works ,I was using both camera apps ,but since release the camera app from essential has been updated many times improving and adding new features
360 cam is very good and the tiny planet feature of the app means you can do some cool.stuff with it .
Honestly you won't be disappointed,it is a gorgeous phone and feels great in hand ,moon black is a bit slippy so I put a Matt black dbrand on mine
