I would also expect LG's "stepped" battery to cost a fair amount more to make as it is pretty new in smartphones. And definitely the fact that the Nexus 5 doesn't have as much of a curved back as the G2 surely has something to do with it.
Look at the size of that camera. I really hope it's better than the one I have in my nexus now.
The cutout tells you nothing. The Nexus 7 has a large camera cutout, but that doesn't make its camera any better. What really matters is pixel size and aperture. Not the glass cutout on the plastic case.
I know this. I wish that the iPhone 5 camera was in the next Nexus phone. I sold my iPhone to get a pure android phone. I don't regret it at all, apart from this high aperture, slow response time camera. It's one of the few flaws in the phone (after I rooted it).
One can only hope. Remember this came out when the iPhone 4S was almost a year old, and the 4S camera is better than this one.
Love Android, but all of the cameras I have seen pale in comparison to an iPhone.
I haven't used the 5S but the 5's quality is outstanding. I thought the colors and low light pics were better than the S4.
But I don't want a Samsung flavour of Android anyways. I want a butt kicking nexus 5 with pure 4.4 and hopefully a smoking camera.
Yea I would not mind a great camera either, but you were saying you had not found a camera better than the iPhone 5. A lot of people would disagree with you on that. I was just pointing out a couple that most would say are better.

Thats all nice and good, but considering the resolution of both phones, the iPhone 5s will still produce better framerates. But it is good to see raw GPU power rivaling that of the 5s. Heavy games on my Nexus 4 and 7 often stutter, so this will be a much welcomes improvement.

Anytime you're ready, Google.

443PPI means something random like a 4.97 inches, 5 inches dead is 441PPI. I wish I didn't keep yearning for a bigger screen. Each time I decide a little bigger would be perfect, I own the phone for 3 months, and keep wanting a little bigger. I already own a 5 inch phone and I'm eyeing the Note 3 with jealousy.
the leaked numbers are impressive on the nexus 5, but i can't see this even competing with the note 3. they'd have to put a large battery in this thing to keep it from dying in 5-6 hrs of use. that screen must eat power like crazy. didn't motorola go with a 720 display for better battery life?
after looking at vids of touchwiz, i'm not too thrilled to buy a sammy device. stock android is the best, but i want my device to last all day. modding may be the only solution for now...

I don't think the Nexus 5 is meant to compete with the Note 3--two very different devices that will generally appeal to customers with different needs in their phone, myself as a perfect example. I don't want anything bigger than a 5" display, an even then only if it has minimal bezels because I want a device that's comfortable to hold and use in one hand.
And eat power like crazy? Its display is comparable in size to the One and S4 with the same resolution and equally similar battery size, so I'd expect it to perform near to those devices. I have an HTC One and while it's no Droid Maxx or Note, it generally lasts a full day.
well, i ordered the s4 google edition to see it in action. i'll return it if the nexus 5 proves to be better. if lg puts the battery from the g2 into it, i'll order the n5 immediately. otherwise, being able to swap batteries will do. i'm also really into the note 3, but touchwiz...not so much.
anyone know about mods for the note series that have apps that take advantage of the spen? that's really all i'd use for the note 3. and maybe as an ereader.

And unfortunately that does not give me confidence of good battery life. But if Motorola can do it with the X then Google better with the N5.
I've read it will have a 2700 mAh battery. We'll see what the official size is soon enough. I can't imagine them only going with a 2300 size.
