For how long? Google stopped updates for galaxy nexus within 2 years for reasons not related to hardware because android 4.4 needs only 512 MB Ram.So what is the point in buying nexus phones? Only thing is faster updates than others.Other top branded androids will also get updates for 2 years or more and you will get more advanced features and better hardware.Google should give updates for their nexus atleast for 7 years no matter how outdated be its hardware by that time.

Good grief people.
First: SD Cards. Who needs them anymore? Slow transfer speed is a hack. you never remove it from your phone anyways. Store your shit in Dropbox or whatever when you are home and have time. SD is yesterday tech on phones and I certainly don't miss them.
Second: Battery. KITKat 4.4 has been optimized more than ever.New chipset also is more efficient
.
The nexus 5 has some new features that will help battery. For LTE it has envelope tracking which saves 20% battery when using LTE. For audio playback they now have audio tunneling to DSP which they claim is 50% better for audio playback.
It seems to me that the industry don't sit on the fence waiting for better battery technology, but instead optimize the software to be more efficient. Chipset is already on point with Haswell and such.
And last: Pixels aren't everything. If I would choose between 8mp that lets in more light than 12mp that lets in less light. I would go for the 8. Light is Essential for good clear pictures. ESPECIALLY on phones..

Such a disappointment for this when they made the G2 already available. I had the Nexus 4 and the battery life was terrible. I can barely get 3 hours screen time on a GOOD day. And I would lose 25-40% over night just on standby! And yes, even stock with nothing installed, the battery was terrible. Now this with bigger screen, faster CPU, and still crappy battery. You'd be lucky if you can get 2.5 hours screen time. Forget all the tests and reviews out there. They don't reflect real world usage at all. I've read many forums and other people have very similar experiences so it's not just me.
On my first week, my G2 manages average 5 hours screen time and I'm a moderate to heavy user. There's pretty much no reason to get this over the G2 unless you REALLY need vanilla Android (which after using the G2, I don't really see what the big deal is). There are lots of neat features on the G2 that I love which the N4 didn't have. Yes, I know you can get apps for it but most aren't always complete and lack features. So you end up installing 3-5 apps just to get the same feature which is fully integrated into the G2 from factory.
And that huge lower bezel is just plain ugly. Such a waste of space. I don't even need to mention the camera since it's pretty much the same as the N4 and will most likely be crap. I guess you get what you pay for.

Great phone but outdated camera and battery should have been better. This phone is one of the most anticipated releases from Google with these specs a better battery would have nailed it sorry.
