I have several interesting rumors that I feel relatively confident about but either don't have visual evidence or a second confirmation, so I'm going to keep them to G+. I'll post roughly a rumor a day until I run out. Disclaimer: As with all rumors, nothing is 100% until it's officially announced. None of this may end up being true, though I have a good level of confidence in the sources. Rumor #2. Google will announce a Nexus watch, codenamed Gem, likely together with the KitKat announcement. The date I have, which, once again, is about a month old, is also October 31st. Source | ||

I have a rumor predicated upon his rumor. If true, there will be so many fucking stupid Halloween-related headlines. | ||

Pretty killer feature for anyone who types in multiple languages that no other keyboard offers to my knowledge. And, it's got some sick predictability and spelling correction if you type fast and sloppy. Best I've seen. These two features are definitely worth whatever price they have now. | ||

What’s most interesting about the new rumours today is the potential for Google to release two separate battery size SKUs depending on the amount of internal storage. According to an anonymous source, the 16GB Nexus 5, which will retail for $299 USD, will come with a 2300mAh battery, while the 32GB model, which will cost $399, will be equipped with a 3000mAh cell. http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/10/08/new-nexus-5-info-verifies-specs-and-posit-two-battery-sizes/ | ||

My biggest dislike right now is that Touchwiz is still ugly as hell compared to stock. That and the fact that there is a ton of random Samsung bloatware that I can't get rid of except for rooting/flashing, which I am trying to avoid as much as possible. Not too bad though, since it doesn't slow the phone down. On to the likes. Firstly, the screen is gorgeous. I can't go back to my Nexus 4's screen size any more; when I browse TL on my Nexus 4 it just feels like it's hiding parts of the site from me. It was even worse when I brought out my old Samsung Galaxy S2 when I was wiping it and returning it to stock to sell off. iPhones feel like toys in my hand now. The biggest thing I like however goes to the battery. Holy crap, this thing is taking everything I throw at it and more. Just this morning I unplugged it at 6am at 100%, listened to Spotify with Bluetooth headphones from 7-8am while browsing the internet, went from 8-11:30am scribbling lecture notes with the fancy pen, watched 30 minutes of Big Bang Theory and then play 15 minutes of Asphalt 8. Just over six hours passed with about 3h of screen on time, after all that? 65% battery remaining. I am pretty happy with this purchase. | ||
