Nexus 5 is perfect, I don't want a bigger phone. Now, I want a new Nexus 10 tablet. Google please?
Same here. Spec increases do nothing for me. More emphasis on useability and features is what I now focus on.Anyone else burned out on just specs/resolution? I feel like beyond waterproofing a phone and having a significant camera upgrade, there's no incentive to get anything that's coming out.
My M7 chews through whatever is thrown at it smoothly and Boomsound is great. At this point I'd normally be looking for the next big thing, but I don't see any must have features on any of the new phones ;/

peeps keep acting like battery life has been getting worse when it's been getting better every year.
# values battery life
# owns a Nexus 4
lol
You must mean camera software. HW wise it has the same or better camera than many flagships.- Upgrade the camera....... a lot.
Every year people say their current phone size is perfect, yet they still buy the new hotness. Repeat.
Phone sounds nice. I'm still on a nexus 4. It's not aging well.
It could be worse, you could still be on the Nexus S like me.

Yeah the N5 camera is hot garbage, I don't know why anyone would argue otherwise.Whatever you want to say about it. When it was released, it took decent photos but was slow as hell due to reliance on OIS in order to take shots with a slower shutter speed in order to maintain a reasonable ISO level.
Then, they tweaked the software to speed up the shutter - now you take photos a bit faster but they're horrific (1000+ iso is typical compared to the competition at 50-60), and let's not even talk about the frequent inability to focus (or maintain focus).
Try other apps - they function even worse than the stock camera app with the N5. Software, hardware, whatever - the N5 camera performs worse than just about anything released within a year of it (iPhone 5 / 5s, S4, S5, Xperia Z1, probably even the S3, HTC One, etc)
Funny they don't show him sitting down or the overall fit of the pants. I wear slim-straight pants and I know for a fact that something that large would not be comfortable, even if it could technically fit inside a pocket.this is the 6.3" Samsung Galaxy Mega

wear real pants
Try wearing normal pants then.Funny they don't show him sitting down or the overall fit of the pants. I wear slim-straight pants and I know for a fact that something that large would not be comfortable, even if it could technically fit inside a pocket.

My pants are fine, thanks.Try wearing normal pants then.
The issue is AFAIK is in the low level access which apps cannot reach. Hardware wise it has the same sensor size and OIS module as the G3 only with 1.4 micron pixels instead of 1.1.Whatever you want to say about it.

.After Note 3, I cannot go back to tiny phones.
I am so glad this is the direction they're taking.
Wait, 5.2?
Augh.
Well if you have trouble sitting with something in your pocket, they might be too tight.My pants are fine, thanks.
No, they're not too tight. I said slim straight, not skinny or slim. They weren't made for keeping 6" rectangular slabs in them.Well if you have trouble sitting with something in your pocket, they might be too tight.
How about battery? They keep pumping the size and the resolution but battery still is shit.

The Nexus 5 doesn't have a bad camera.

No one said it's getting worse. We're just getting cheated.
Yay your phone lasts 14 hours now instead of 13, just ignore the fact that if we removed half the pixels you wouldn't see a difference and your battery would last 18 hours. Nope, nothing to see here. Next up, 8K screens! Look at us we have more pixels than you!
it's just an average camera
Yeah, let's make the screen bigger and higher resolution for little reason when we could actually start getting some decent battery life out of these phones.
1080p @ 5 inches is perfect for phones.
but it doesn't work like that anyway.
5.9" That's just...delusional.
