EPTthe n5 has a protruding lens as well and I haven't had any problems with it. I think part of the reason is due to the OIS system requiring more space but I'm not too sure.

Lollipop is made for a world where moving throughout the day means interacting with a bunch of different screens—from phones and tablets to TVs. With more devices connecting together, your expectation is that things just work. With Lollipop, it’s easier than ever to pick up where you left off, so the songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed across all the other ones. As you switch from one screen to another, the experience should feel the same. So Lollipop has a consistent design across devices—an approach we call Material Design. Now content responds to your touch, or even your voice, in more intuitive ways, and transitions between tasks are more fluid. Lollipop also gives you more control over your device. You can now adjust your settings so that only certain people and notifications can get through, for example, when you’re out to dinner or in the middle of an important meeting. And when an important notification does come through, you can see it directly from the lockscreen. And because we’re using our devices a lot more, there’s a new battery saver feature that extends the life of your device by up to 90 minutes—helpful if you’re far from a power outlet. We’ve enabled multiple user accounts and guest user mode for keeping your personal stuff private. And you can now secure your device with a PIN, password, pattern, or even by pairing your phone to a trusted device like your watch or car with Smart Lock. But this is just a small taste of Lollipop.

Guess Google is very confident about its brand power/brand loyalty... and keen on helping Motorola gain greater market share. I'm not sure about the Nexus 9. It's a little steep (maybe it's worth the $100 premium over the Nvidia Shield Tablet). Is 4:3 that much better than 16  for tablets? | ||

Seems like the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 aren't even competition to each other with how different their prices are. Oh, and I've really been hating new upgrades in phones recently. Spec wise the only thing that ever happens anymore is you get a higher resolution screen to eats more battery. For practical use, there is absolutely no time when it is genuinely useful to have more than 300-350 PPI, yet Samsung has the need to try and bring out 4K displays and so forth, bleh, just so silly.

As a consumer it's good to reflect displeasure by not purchasing a good. The more elastic you make your demand, the better consumers are off in the long term, especially in these mobile phone markets that behave like oligopolies. | ||

if its a smaller version then theres literally no reason to get a nexus 6 over a motox and the 9 is supposed to appeal to a higher end market with the specs to back it up i don't like the larger phone either but this kind of thing is blatantly obvious | ||

Couldn't they just throw in some kind of 4.5-inch version? :'( People like you and me are in luck. I prefer my phones about 5-inch and thankfully that is last year's flagships. So we can save our money and be content purchasing last year's flagships while the others can rush to get their 6 inch smartphones. | ||

It alienates all consumers like me who DO want a cheap tablet that isn't a vastly inferior tablet (Kindle HD with Amazon ecosystem) and can't afford Ipad minis. There's a lot of other consumers who want a "cost efficient" tablet. Samsung tablets are not cost efficient, and many ppl dont like the interface of it. This leaves pretty much Nexus tablets for Android. It forces people to pay big bucks or switch to Apple. Now, this would have been a valid move, but 1 month before Black Friday where Ipad mini prices will all drop (at least on the 1 year old models)? Not a smart move by Google TLDR: . If you are going to alienate a huge chunk of Android users with high pricing, at least do it when users don't have a chance to obtain cheap Ipads, not ONE month before Black Friday. | ||

if you want a smaller tablet comparable to the fire then get the nexus 7 all of this is like marketing 101, idek how you would alienate a market that has its own product | ||

We've just received official word from the Googlers on high that the 2012 Nexus 7, albeit burdened with crappy, crappy NAND storage and an aging Tegra 3 processor, will receive Android 5.0 Lollipop as an OTA update. Rejoice. Source | ||

You might also want to consider: http://www.amazon.com/LG-G2-Factory-Unlocked-International/dp/B00FCMFOFM The G2 went down a lot in price, and spec wise it's superior to the Nexus 5, much nicer camera too. | ||

Google unveiled its highly anticipated Nexus 9 tablet yesterday and almost immediately following the device’s official debut, someone managed to run it through Geekbench for a benchmark. The HTC-made slate managed to pull down an impressive 1,903 single core score, which is on a par with an entry-level 2012 Mac Pro, according to Primate Labs founder, John Poole. Source | ||
