Your wish list for the LG Nexus Bullhead (N5 2015)?

[sm625]

I want a 5.7" display that is 720p, so I dont waste money and battery on pixels I cant really see. And I want a 5000maH battery. I truly do not understand this skinny skimpy phones with these massive pixel counts and tiny batteries.

Huawei version has 3 GB. I am not sure how these two Nexus phones are going to be introduced, price-wise.

GB reports 2GB.

Compared to the previous nexus 5 this isn't much of an upgrade.
2016 nexus it is... 2nd in line.

My plan is to hold onto the wife's Nexus 5, and upgrade my Nexus 4. I lost interest in keeping up with the latest phone long ago. Now I just want something with decent value that will last for 2-3 years.

That Nexus 5X Geekbench scores must be low due to a circumstantial throttling or otherwise based on a pre-release build. The S808 regularly scores 1100+ for ST and 3400 for MT. The Nexus 6P's scores are where they are expected to be, in line with other S810 devices.

According to android police the prices are going to be $379 for the 5x and $499 for the 6p at launch, which seems pretty reasonable.

No OIS for either the 6P nor the 5X.

The Nexus phones of the year disappoints again. I don't know why I get my hopes up every year.

Apparently the 5x won't have wireless charging, it still has 2gb of ram and 32gb of storage, seems like its better to keep my 2 year old nexus 5, i won't be missing much.

Because a great Nexus phone would be awesome.

340fps has to be a typo?

Those specs seem fine to me. The wife just got the LG G4 today, it's a touch too big for me. I still like my LG G2, and I don't need a fingerprint reader or wireless charging so I'm okay with it.

Probably at the lowest resolution like 480p.

I don't think that's possible honestly. Last year they made a phone that hit almost every high end spec and people bitched about it being too expensive. This year they hit a much lower price point and people complain about the hardware compromises needed to get there.

The biggest problem with the Nexus 6 was that it was 6 inches (almost) and didn't have the long battery life people associated with Note class phones.

I would've certainly not instantly dismissed it if Google hadn't gone crazy and made it 6 inches.

Here's the problem with the Nexus 6:

- The Nexus 5 was priced cheap. The N6 was priced far more expensive.

- The Nexus 5 was made as a phone, not a phablet. The N6 ventures into phablet territory.

So of course those who are looking for a phone and not a phablet lose out. Those who are looking for a cheap phone lose out.

This. There seems to be an expectation that the Nexus should be leading the spec race while simultaneously competing for lowest price. That's just not possible, and it's odd that only Google has such expectations put on them.

My smartphone is my primary computer, it's my most important device by far. I appreciate high end specs and am willing to pay for them.

It's because the Nexus 4 and 5 were released at a time when no other OEM offered such value for money. Now that the market has shifted to the 'affordable flagship' price range, Nexus is no longer unique.
