I believe Samsung makes the 64 bit A7 chip in the iPhone 5s

That's Samsung's foundry, a completely different operation than the chip design unit of Samsung semiconductor. Qualcomm doesn't technically make their own chips either they do it through someone else's foundry as well, in Qualcomm's case it's usually TSMC, though Samsung foundries have been rumored to make Snapdragons as well.

 

See if this makes sense.  Samsung is to the A7 as Foxconn is to the iPhone.

Are not most Nexus phones similar to the original, the phone which it wad based on or has it been a custom build? I was looking forward to the Note3, but disappointed with the 1 lte. I have wanted a pure Android device so the Nexus 5 is most likely to be my next phone. May they make s triband Google edition N3!

I don't think they make any Snapdragons yet, but I do believe Samsung does make MDMs.

Note uses far too much samsung software to work properly as a google edition device.

think I'll be using my upgrade for this

 

you mean "IF" it is released on sprint?

 

out of curiosity, if it "DOES" get released for sprint, will it get nexus updates in a timely fashion like other nexus devices or will we have to wait months for sprint to add their bloatware crap to it???

well I know in the released documents that went through the FCC (assuming it was the Nexus 5), it was compatible with every carrier but Verizon. Granted Sprint did make mistakes with the previous Nexus but they may have made good with Google since then - then again maybe not.

I'd assume the Nexus 5 will be sold direct from the Google Play Store at close-to-cost, like the other Nexus devices. The only way using a Sprint upgrade would make any sort of sense is if Sprint doesn't tack on $200+ to the SRP like T-Mobile did for the Nexus 4.

Unfortunately with my pay cut at work, the only way I will be getting a fancy new Triband phone is through the new Up program, so unless Sprint does sell the new Nexus in stores, I will just have to go for the G2 instead. Not that the G2 is bad in any way, but I haven't used plain Android since the Samsung Moment with 1.5..

Here are your leaks/rumors of the day, most building off those earlier mentioned from MyCE:

  • KitKat is likely to include "themes" of some sort which will, at the very least, change the colors of the notification tray.
  • Miracast support is included and improved over past implementations.
  • 8MP camera (unknown whether it's stabilized or not).
  • 5-inch Full HD display, 442 ppi (potentially 4.97-inch) [Already pretty much knew this, but the confirmation is nice].
  • 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snadragon 800 [Also knew this].
  • 2GB RAM [Also knew this].

Geek.com is disappointed in the camera and battery capacity (when compared to the LG G2 the Nexus 5 is supposedly based off of) and speculates that keeping them slightly lower-end will allow the Nexus 5 to be priced around where the Nexus 4 was. But they obviously haven't seen real word performance from either, so take that with a chunk of salt.

Bonus rumor:

 

Google Authenticator will have some sort of trusted bluetooth device mode, which would be truly awesome. Think two-step authentication without having to manually type in a unique code every time. Or possibly no lock screen when near a trusted computer.

The only info that really means anything is Sprint and Triband confirmation. Everything else is pretty much known or assumed mostly confirmed at this point.

We didn't really know much about the camera and confirmation of the specs is nice. The rumors regarding "themes" and trusted bluetooth devices is interesting but not a huge deal.

 

At this point the hardware is pretty much nailed down, aside from the various memory size and color permutations. Software is really all that's left to speculate about.

Since this is technically one model/SKU, wouldn't it be far more likely that all carriers are using same software(esp with only one source, play store).

 

If there were different models and sellers(like a sprint sold version, art, tmo) then I would assume the likelihood of one carrier lagging behind goes way up.

I am sure the base model will be 16 GB with a 2300 maH battery.  The latest rumors have the camera at 8 MP which may or may not have the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature.  I think the OIS is fantastic feature to have especially if people are starting to use their camera phones as point and shoot camera replacements.  I would be pretty bummed out if the Nexus 5 doesn't have OIS feature in the camera.

 

If the Nexus 5 is a 2300 maH battery there is no way I am getting this phone.  I just don't trust that a 2300 maH is good enough for my needs especially if you start streaming a lot of video.

Time to start looking for a new phone then. There will be only one battery configuration available, 2300maH, or I'll eat my hat  :D

All the speculation on the 2300 maH battery is based on a FCC filing for the rumored Nexus 5.  So it may or may not be 2300 maH. We won't know until they officially announce the phone.

But the speculating and complaints about the speculation is sooo much fun. In a sense, the consumer should be the "person" deciding howbig this or that is on the phone because the consumer woll be the one using it.

      T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach

      Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

      Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
