should i get a nexus 5 before they go?

Maybe they will go on sale in the playstore?

I want a 32gb black one - sold out in the Irish play store at the moment - maybe they'll never come back in? They have them in the UK playstore but I reckon it'd be complicated to buy one from there what with Google account ids etc. Wouldn't really be happy with a grey import one from Amazon either.

Anyway only another day to go until Google I/o.

I have serious reservations that a new Nexus phone would be announced at I/O.
Tablets, most likely, but not a phone in my opinion.
Just basing this on the N4 being launched in Oct'12 and the N5 in Nov'13.

I'd be more shocked to see a new Nexus phone announced at I/O than if they were to announce a 20" Nexus tablet

Nah, there will be a HTC tablet announced at I/O. A 9" tablet.

HTC's Nexus Tablet

I have a tendency to trust Android Police, they seem to be correct quite a lot of the time. It may not be announced at the keynote, but I reckon they'll announce this at the I/O at some point.

marcbrophy

If form is anything to go by, we'll see a tablet alright!
That 9" thing looks cool, but I was kinda hoping it'd stay 7" for portability!

Anyway, let's hope we see a new version of Android for our N5's

Just after getting 4.4.4 OTA if anyones interested

youngblood

any visible changes?
cant see anything with mine

Gryzor

Just got it as well, will it break root??

Sonics2k

4.4.4 is only a security update against the OpenSSL bug. A few minor things under the hood, nothing to worry about.

I dunno if you could go back to the smaller screen and crappier battery life that the N5 compared to the Note 3 gives ya, best thing to do is try a Nexus 5 and see how you like it....

I think the smaller screel wouldn't bother me, I have small hands so the Note is a bit fiddly. I dontknow anyone with a N5

Looks like there's going to be a new Nexus phone in the Autumn so will be hanging onto my Moto G until then.
