What's with fingerprint reader on the back? That's not intuitive at all.

well then blurry cam, do more
I already expected an ugly back so I'm over that. A shame it's even worse than the render.

Kinda stupid that it's literally just a metal ring. Lol couldn't at least put on logo or something on it so it doesn't stick out?

I'd guess it's not a final unit, so maybe that isn't finalized. Still fingerprint reader on the back is a horrible idea. Hopefully Huawei doesn't follow suit.

Yo that N5 is ugly. looking like casper sucking dick for heroin money
If it's anything like the N6 dimple, on the back is ideal.

Looks stunning actually. Love it's just a nice metallic ring for the finger print scanner. They could add an LG symbol in there, but yeah. Hope the camera's quality is damn good.

It's a nexus. It's a nice dream though. Maybe if you wish it over and over one day it might eventually be true.

Looks nice. What's the black thing next to the flash supposed to be?
I'm looking for Android phones for a friend. It's her first smartphone so there aren't really any dealbreakers in terms of specs. The only ones I can think of are:
Ease of Use
Size (~5 inch)
Weight
Battery Life
What are some recent options that do well in these areas? The HTC One M8 looks the best so far.

Most likely a laser for focus.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks!
They should also add "Members Only" to finish it off.
There looks like a laser autofocus sensor by the camera lens so hopefully that's a plus.
Hi guys,
My girlfriend has got an Android phone for some time now and she's been running into a few troubles I can't seem to solve... I'm an iPhone user myself and not very confortable with Android.
The main problem is Wi-fi: it will often stop working without any warning nor indication something is wrong... except it doesn't work. Shutting down Wi-fi and putting it back on does the trick but it really isn't convenient as this happens dozens of times in a single day.
We use Wi-fi with a lot of other hardware on a daily basis but this has never happened with any other device.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy J (SC-02F) on 4.4.2.
It's supposed to be a Japan only device with specs somewhere between the S4 and the S5.
Thanks for the help!

What's her price range? And what's her carrier?
I've never used a Galaxy J but it's probably just a shitty phone tbh
No real limits or preferences there.

Oh nice. The N6 is the worst camera I've had when it comes to focusing on something close. It won't focus at all.
Come on, that's not all there can be to it, right? It's "probably just a shitty phone"? :/

Looking good, need to see a black and a red version. What size battery can we realistically expect to get? The camera sticking out makes me worried about a small battery.
Oddly seeing the ring and thinking about it made me think about the vita back touch and its texture.
The ring at least will let people use it without having to see where they are putting their finger.
White doesn't look very nice to me though. Maybe that's just because I'm used to black devices. I'd probably prefer almost any other colour to a pure white thing.

Forced update? I have thr lg g7 tablet, and got a forced update this morning. It's on AT&T and it was thier 99 cent model.
I've been unimpressed since the beginning with it. Audio and video never seem to sync, even for movies on the device. I have three pressure marks on the screen, and from my own fault a crack in the upper corner. I hate the keyboard, and the auto correct even though its supposed to be turned off. And now this stupid update when all updates are supposed to be off.
I hate andriod. At least my old galaxy tab 2.0 never had video syncing issues. But it was never a mobile device, just wifi and didn't get forced updates.
So how do I get back my old version?

Kinda want, in black though, and with a metal frame.
I put wood on the back of my phones so that shouldn't be a problem. My Nexus 6 looks way better without that shitty blue plastic back.
Black makes color imperfections show up too easily like skin flakes.

Is that the Huwaei one or the LG one?

From the informations we got, it's definitely LG
And it's also one of the worst phone designs of all time.

It has the LG logo right there.

Ah, didn't see any LG logo when I had a quick look.
I am on board for a Huwaei Nexus but processor is a worry.

Well yes, it is for any non Samsung Android phone in 2015.

But there's more!
By more you mean they rotated it 90 degrees and photoshopped out the barcodes?
Thanks for the comparison! That's my issue as well. It tries so hard to look like a big rolex it fails that much harder as it can't hold a candle to them.
Too much. It almost looks like someone modified a 640 XL.Reminds me a lot of the Lumia 640 XL.
No, the bloatware has no effect on phone's performance, you'll still get a lag-less experience. And with the latest update you can disable every single preinstalled app on the phone.
