Mentioned before, he contacted both SG LG & Google, both got no plans to bring in when that article surfaced.

my hopes of getting local set went high high for a while......
then i saw your post

Yeah, I agree!

Some of the benchmark scores are disappointing!

Well, benchmarks are part of the SOP for reviews. so I have to do them. The more time consuming one will be the battery test (standard and real world usage).

Therefore, its going to take a few days for the review to be done. and not forgetting I have two more devices in the review line up. =X

btw, they found a tweak/hack on xda. allowing the same 'oem tweak' for benchmarking. Some users managed to achieve 30k+ on antutu, pretty similar to note3/z1/g2 which is expected since all these phone are using snapdragon 800 SoC

EDIT: I just achieved 30k too~

Would like to gather some opinions from bros here on their preferences on the black or white model.

I understand that the black has a soft touch matte finish. How about the white?
Is it a glossy white back ?

Kindly advise for those who have the different colour models. Thanks loads.

any opinions from anyone?

get both...why force yourself to choose.

budget constraint then choose the one that caught your attention first, i assume is white.

I'm using white back. Its not glossy at all.should be the same material and feel as black. Not sure if the white back will turn yellow or black after long time usage...

 

[BlackCube]

not sure if anyone posted before. but there's software mod for increasing speaker and headphone volume.

[MOD][GUIDE] Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost for the Nexus 5 - xda-developers

seem to be working based on the feedback.
you need root though.

there's also a hardware mod for it.

Japan Playstore already cancelled all orders, the one ship to forwarder's address like jshoppers & Tenso? I've tried so many times...with different cc & diff Japan VPN to order....currently they response within 3mins.. ALL CANCELLED!....fed up already...gonna get it from local re-seller now.

 

[kwaychapy]

Finally, after numerous cancellation. Today, Google had sent out the item, 32GB, Black. Now have to wait till arrive to jshoppers. Another waiting game.

really love-hate for me!!

I used jshopper with the above method via UOB Mastercard and it was shipped! Now asking Jshopper if they receive the package.

I called bank and they confirm the transaction was charged to the card!

At the same time, I got Bridge Jpn to buy on behalf also!! Really 哭笑不得!! My previous 4 attempts not successgul though the same credit card was used with tenso address (tokyo)...

Why don't use the buying service from Tenso?

 

[hanburger]

I have emailed the play store support to ask about why they have been cancelling my orders.
I got a reply and specially highlighted in bold that if you do not live in a country from which Devices may be purchased, Google reserve the right to reject the order.

When i setup the new google account, i was connected to VPN, and the country i selected was Japan.
Mobile number i have no choice but to enter my SG number.

Each order is shipped to Tenso.

My two possible guess that how they deem that I am not living in Japan is through my mobile number? Or is that Tenso address is really black listed, hence rejecting my orders.

Anyone uses sg mobile number during google account setup and successully got your phone shipped?

Ok give you guys a tips. When you connected to vpn, google will still be able to track where are you as your mac/ios/win still setting your geo-location

When you connected to vpn, go to mylocation.org , and see if your location and dns address is at japan or not

Dont forget what google are doing as their main, they are the best in the world to know where you are and where you sending the queries
