Administrator DKT27 Posted February 13, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 13, 2014 @implague: I'm not buying Nexus 5 right now. I think I will wait till MWC to see if something worth buying is announced. However, inspite of Nexus 5 being so expensive here in India, I think you cannot get anything cheaper at this specs from good manufacturers.

majithia23 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Bought it just now ! :)One of the best Androids i have bought !Simple, sophisticated, sturdy and very fast, fluidic !@implagueOTG support is there for the phone, but for USB drives !Not sure about the Warranty issues of US models .But the "Resale" value of US models drops considerably compared to local market counterparts .For me this is a point worth considering, coz Androids by Samsung and esp Google carry a very good resale value in the market ! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
