Planning to buy this device this September. Kaso ang hirap ibenta ng Xperia ZL ko. Hay....


How was the battery?

I'm getting at least 24hrs of standby time with 4hrs screen on time with moderate usage (sms, phone call, 1hr game, facebook, viber)., Naka ParanoidAndroid din pala ako with FrancoKernel r58..

Hope you get one soon cause it's really a great device..

 

[0se7en]

Nabenta ko na Xperia ZL. Sandaling panahon na lang makukuha ko na din sya. Probably this Sept.

Oo men brand new. Sa Kimstore. Ang hinahanap kong case either Cruzerlite Bugdroid smoke black or the official Nexus 5 bumper case na in black.

I got it for 16,900 on Kimstore. Ok naman kasi 32gb kaya kahit walang sd card slot malaki pa din memory. Mejo bilisan mo na if you want Nexus 5. Alam ko konti na lang stocks nila nito kaya minadali ko na pagpurchase.

 

[thundersnipe]

Magkano lahat pag pinurchase sa google store?kasali narin ung tax at shipping fee.

Yung akin Thailand galing halos 10k lang sa currency naten.. Pansin ko mas cheaper sa ibang bansa, kasi dito hindi gamit kaya may kamahalan.

eto yung price sa google. http://www.google.com/nexus/5/

Mas okay pag may kakilala, malakilaki pag pinaship gawa ng custom, yung sakin po nakisabay lang. Btw 16gb yung akin, 32gb almost 12k, kung alam ko lang na wala palang memcard slot yung nexus, nag32 na ko.

Walang 64gb variant ang Nexus 5. Sayang nga e. This is by far the best Android phone that I've ever had. Hindi sya cluttered ng mga useless apps and features. Pero may big CON lang dahil sa software. The mm-qcamera-daemon bug. Grabe umubos ng battery once sumulpot. Ang nakakapag trigger sa kanya is any app that uses the camera. Only workaround is to reboot phone. Sabi ng Google inaayos na daw nila for the next update. Sana ayos na sya sa Android L. Here's hoping.

By the way... which custom kernel is the best? Anyone tried ElementalX or Franco?

Nevermind. Installed ElementalX. So far so good. Sayang lang yung Double Tap 2 unlock. Usefull sana kaso lakas makadrain ng battery kaya dinisable ko na lang.

This phone or LG G2. Still can't decide on my next purchase. Ive matched them specs vs specs, what i needed is real life usage, common problems/solution etc. Not really a gamer, i play CoC thats it, i just want a bigger screen.

 

[nferocious76]

May nexus 5 na kaya d2 sa PH? gusto ko bumili ng bagong phone hehe on the go ung nexus's

 

[mightymarc]

Last year pa.

Hi guys!

This phone or LG G2. Still can't decide on my next purchase. Ive matched them specs vs specs, what i needed is real life usage, common problems/solution etc. Not really a gamer, i play CoC thats it, i just want a bigger screen.

If usual phone lang po hanap nio, go for G2 because it has better cammera, larger battery capacity. Kung may pagka techie po kayo at conscious po kayo sa mga OS update, go for nexus 5.

Android Lollipop will be released maybe early next month and I'm sure that one was already addressed. About kernel, never been used ElemetalX before but I read possitive feedbacks and good things about it. By the way I'm using FrancoKernel for great battery backup with improved performance.

Now running Android Lollipop 5.0 Developer Preview. Ganda nya. Pati battery nag improve. Wala na din mm-qcamera-daemon bug. Pero may camera bug pa din natira. "failed to initialize camera". Once lumabas sya hindi mo magagamit camera until mag reboot\restart ng phone. I really wish wala na yun sa final release ng Lollipop. After that... PERFECT na talaga Nexus 5.
