tybo31316 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I would pick this over the galaxy note 3 if this is actually coming to sprint. Fingers crossed Especially with a $299 price point from the Google play store. I'd be all over it. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Here's an updated comparison! Didn't expect this to blow up when I was in class! Oh and guys remember when Google filed to use BRS / EBS frequency for a private wireless network earlier this year? Now we know why! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Imagine a no contract, triband, nexus device with a kitkat bar on the side. I'm dreaming deep tonight when I hit the sheets:-D 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Bohn was particularly classy in mentioning S4GRU in the second sentence. Engadget was the first to act just a few minutes after I gave them the tip so they seem to have the most linkbacks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hope they don't hold the trend with the same garbage baseband chipsets. It's made by LG, so I hope they won't use the crappy VIA chipsets. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnusOchncap Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 2300mah batter seems pretty small especially for the screen size and the fact that its not removableI agree, but Nexus batteries have always been small. Gotta get the bill of materials down to meet that $300 price point I guess... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregSmoov Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 But the dimensions are way off for the size of the device seen in the video. By comparison the Nexus 4 is 133.9 x 68.7 mm The LG D820 alleged Nexus 5 is 131.9 x 68.2 mm Is it common practice for manufacturers to send prototypes to the FCC and make changes to the final design? As long as they do not change internals in the way that would require devices to be recertified by the FCC ie operating bands or whatever else the FCC looks for.

djw39 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 LGOG is 131.9 mm x 68.9 mm so this would be actually slightly narrower & exactly the same height. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I will avoid the term "Snapdragon 800" like the plague because it is a tier, not a specific chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sddabrow Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Well I was dead set on the Note 3.. up until this surfaced. Anxious to see what gets announced! Edit: Some one at MacRumors put the dimensions together and put out a quick drawing.
