Of course. Don´t you watch CSI? They can scan fingerprints by enlarging photos.
Has this been confirmed?

Let's just hope it's at least as optimized as the Moto X. Best we can ask (and hope for).
Because its a dead away that it is a fake. Look at the game above that doesn't have the thumb blurred.
Why can't Verizon just let Nexus run free?
Because it's Verizon.
So glad I dropped them like a bad habit and moved to pre-paid. Not getting screwed over with a contract is fantastic.

It's probably fake, but since the Nexus 4 eventually made it in white I thought why not.
Beside truthfulness... do you like it? Which one you prefer?
My god, that is gorgeous!
It's really too bad the larger battery in 32GB rumor seems to be wrong, that might keep me from going with the Nexus 5. Regardless, I can't wait to ditch Verizon and switch to AT&T.
I likely will go N5 despite disappointing battery, what would be the best phone to buy and resell? Gold 16GB iPhone 5S?
That looks better, I have no idea what that generic blue one with the bluetooth logo was.

The Moto X, despite dedicated cores and a 720p, had an awesome battery life out of a 2200mAh battery. My One can easily get through a day with the same 2300mAh. If Google has worked on optimization for this 4.4, battery life might be a win as well.
Besides... Google event on Oct. 24, but no hardware to show

Would it be the back of the box? And the one with the actual nexus on the front box is the front of the box. Its just a sleeve like they did with the other Nexus boxes.

Think I'll sell my Nexus 4 and upgrade to the 5.
so the white one may be legit?

With the last few Nexuses, the more leaks there are, the longer the actual is unveling is delayed... or maybe that's just how it feels, lol.
For any other product I would agree. But not for Nexus devices that have launches with extreme supply issues and general all around Play Store fuckery gumming up the order and shipping process.
In the case of these guys, I'm willing to let them launch it on their own schedule, if only for the hope that they will actually be ready this time. And don't even get me started on the world availability. Would be nice if other territories didn't have to wait an eternity for this to be available after launch in the US.
Yea, I hope the launch goes a lot smoothly.

I have a question, if SMS and MMS is coming to Hangouts, that means I can message people from inside my Hangout cocoon even if they don't have the Hangout App on their phone (ala iPhone users), right? All while having group messaging work fine, even if they use iMessage? Hopefully this isn't just wishful thinking.
I'm in for one. I don't know if I will get it right away though. Probably going to wait out the (rough) launch this time around.
I'd really only buy it with a huge camera improvement. The N4 has been great for me (once I was able to procure it). So, probably not, I guess.
I'm not, but that's because I just bought my N4 when Google dropped the price, my next phone is probably going to be the next Nexus.
I'll wait for the next-next phone or the one after that. I don't do enough with it to justify an immediate upgrade.

I'll wait for the Nexus 6. And only if it has at least a 3,000 mAH battery.
I think they will do how they have done with the Nexus 7. Just call it the Nexus 5 2013 and Nexus 5 2014. They take the previous version off the market before selling the new one, so it really doesn't matter much.
Pretty much guarantee this is what is going to happen. Only reason they went from 4 -> 5 to begin with is because the N5's screen is now just shy of 5".
only if the battery last longer. Also i really want 32gb cause 16gb is sooooo 2007.

I'm wondering if Google is holding off on the announcement because of Apple's event at the end of the month?
I just want one to replace my Galaxy SIIThat white one looks sexy as hell, might consider it since I use naked phones.
The white one will undoubtedly get dirty without a case if history from the One X taught us anything.
As long as they do Nexus-6 justice with a glorious Blade Runner Speical Edition.
I'm in the market for a new phone and have already decided to switch from an iPhone 4 to an Android OS phone. I was set on choosing between the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One, but now I heard about this...is the Nexus 5 worth waiting for or should I just go ahead and choose one of the other two?

Worth waiting for. You're stuck with those phones for two years. Might as well go with the newest best thing before you take the plunge.

Absolutely. Better hardware + stock Android. It's a no brainer.
Verizon needs to get rid of CDMA and switch to GSM but that is never going to happen

You're right, it won't ever happen. LTE is the future of voice.

2007? What phones had a 16GB capacity in 2007?
Well you can get a Treo, I don't how much is a 16GB SD card cost in 2007, maybe $200? (edit: only $70 in 2007 haha)

Isn't it being on Google Play official enough?
When Google sends out a press release, then it is official enough.
And tino, the OP is being updated with every bit of info.
