Heres the odd thing.
The specs for the Nexus 5 supposably show a smaller phone compared to the 4.
From your pics, thats not true at all.

Yeah. I'm curious about that 131mm vs 133mm height they got. The width seems to check out because if I jam my Nexus 4 in there there's a slight bulge. The reported spec is 68.2mm versus 68.7mm for the N4.

BTW, Wind Mobile's posted the specs here: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/2...stration-page-along-with-official-specs-list/

It looks like the height is 137mm which confirms what I have most likely

Yeah I'm confused as well. Nexus 5 is supposed to be 132 x 68.2 x?? mm. Nexus 4 measures 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm. Based on that case the leaked measurements of the Nexus 5 are off, or that case is going to be really loose!

Yes I know people said 132mm or 131mm based on some leaks or calculations, but Wind Mobile has the pre-registration specs with 137mm

Phooey. Just googled Wind Mobile - you're right. They claim the phone is 137.84 mm x 69.17 mm x 8.59 mm. Taller than the N4, about the same width, half a mm less thick. Disappointing. Very close to a Galaxy S3/S4 in size.

The camera better ROCK in this thing! Its specs are virtually identical to an iPhone 5 camera (not 5S), only with OIS. I'm expecting camera quality at least as good as the iPhone 5 in this thing.

I think those 132mm specs were based off of some dude running some calculations based on images. Close but not exact. Then pretty much every site just ran with that # and never stopped. It's hard to find the source, but everyone else who's basing it off the previous info has always said 132mm

I think it is more likely that the case is too big.

137.84mm tall is taller than the Galaxy S4 which is 136.6mm. Both of them have a 5" screen but it is clear from the pictures that the Nexus 5 has a noticeably smaller top and bottom bezel.

The 131.9mm x 68.2mm dimensions are from the FCC document not "some dude calculating based on images".

Here is the complete list of specs on the page of LG Nexus 5 registration page of Wind Mobile, which was subsequently taken down by Wind Mobile.

You're right. The dude calculating based on images was pretty close, and I could not find it in the FCC docs, but I found some screenshots Brian Klug referred to.

However, it's pretty obvious when you look at the N5 images from the FCC next to the ruler it's not just 131mm. It's closer to 140mm than 130mm.

Here is a link to the FCC doc I was referring to.

If it really is as big as that I might have to pass. 131.9 was already pushing it for me. It should be more like 125mm for the screen size it has.

Comparing the Sony ZL versus the Nexus 5, the Nexus 5 looks like it has noticeably bigger bezels. The ZL is 131.6 mm tall.

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5203&idPhone2=5705


That's going to require the most narrow bezels ever seen on a smartphone.

The display itself is only 109.73mm(4.32") tall. A total of 125mm would leave about 15mm or ~0.6" total for the top and bottom bezel. It would be the smallest bezels on a phone but that doesn't mean it isn't doable. 4mm on the bottom and the rest on the top is very possible.

I want to get back to a Nexus phone(I loved my Nexus One) but one handed use and fitting comfortably in my pocket is pretty high priority for me. 131.9mm was already a little to big to do that. If you are correct the Nexus 5 will be equal in size to the LG G2 despite the 1/4" smaller screen.
