Moto has never really had a problem with battery, but they did say the camera and battery would be their focus for the X+1. Maybe some of that focus will spill over for the Nexus...

This is me. Did it for my N4. Will probably do it again for the N5. Free upgrade pretty much.

You'll be fine. It's a not a huge leap really. Nicer screen maybe, and a slightly faster SoC, but that's about it.

Once every millennium, something happens so profound, it changes everything!
Seriously, this is how I feel about phones. This is getting ridiculous, is there really no want for small phones as far as the masses are concerned? I still find this hard to believe!

Eh I dunno, seems more like the Nexus version of the Moto S....
Not really. They might finally improve that shitty camera and battery.

Doesn't samsung already have a 7 inch phone in Korea?

I think that Google should release a small z2 compact type phone as a refreshed nexus 4, update the nexus 5 internals, and then have the nexus x phablet. covers all the bases.

I'd rather not have a pocket dedicated to just my phone. I've carried my phone and wallet in the same pocket for 10 years. Wallet in back pocket = bleh

well in my case, i went from a Note 2 to an Oppo Find 7. The Find 7 has a larger screen, but it actually is a smaller phone overall. I can also use it in one hand. Same res and processor as this phone. The thing absolutely flies.
I know you're a Note fan, what do you think about a 5.9" Nexus with these specs vs the Note line?
Dafuq? You have 2 pockets for a reason. Phone in one, wallet in the other...

I hate the trend to increase screen resolution above 1080p. You're just pointlessly throwing away battery life and GPU performance for no real tangible benefit. Honestly, on a <5" phone anything more than 720p is probably overkill. Text is already incredibly sharp on my Nexus 4, I value battery life and performance far higher than any increased sharpness over a Nexus 4.

Now sit down
I will agree with you at 1080p being a reasonable limit, but I much prefer my Nexus 5 pixel density to the Nexus 4, so I think 720p shouldn't be acceptable for a flagship over 4.5". I haven't spent much time with the G3, but I can say that it's less of a noticeable jump from the Nexus 5 than the Nexus 4 -> 5 is.
Yup. Thing is android phone makers will sadly continue the inane spec wars as that's the only way they know how to meaningfully differentiate their future phones. At this point they should focus on battery life and increasing performance at 720p/1080p.

Depends if they can make progress towards removing the bevel. The new sharp aqous crystal is a great step in this direction (bonus of not looking like an anonymous black rectangle also)

peeps keep acting like battery life has been getting worse when it's been getting better every year.

Unless its made by Sharp using their zero bezel screen tech it will be huge.
Plenty of tech sites have had some hands on with the Sharp phone and are in awe of the screen.
What a beautiful phone. Shame it's not high-end and only on Sprint.

I have a galaxy s4 and have zero interest in a new phone until battery life is good enough to go for days and days. All phones are fast as hell with beautiful screens. The hype has died. Diminishing returns. Waste of money to upgrade. Etc.
Battery life and physical innovation like the sharp crystal or something crazy like the Kyocera echo was brave enough to try.
