Rumor of Motorola Nexus 5

According to Taylor Wimberly, who was correct on a few Moto X leaks, Motorola will be making the next Nexus device and it'll be completely different from the Moto X. We'll see.

 

And direct from Mr. Wimberly...

 

Motorola will release a Nexus smartphone in Q4 (that is not the Moto X).

 

It would be great if this is true and there's a version for Sprint (that's tri-band)...

 

If it really is coming Q4 we should see FCC filings in the near future. This could also be a sign that Android 5 is coming down the pike.

We are not going to see another nexus phone on Sprint. This has been discused at length.  Google only will sell unlocked and low priced handsets for GSM/UMTS/LTE operators.

what about the nexus on verizon? They can make it, but it is a limited market I think so there is no point

The Galaxy Nexus on both Sprint and Verizon are basically why they have given up on CDMA networks. The carriers made getting updates through to the devices such a process that they have decided to no longer deal with it.

Sorry, where is the nexus 4 on Verizon?

 

There isn't one.  Last nexus was the Galaxy Nexus, which is rather old at this point.  It used a really junky VIA CDMA baseband, to boot.

 

Avoid at all costs.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
