Google’s upcoming Nexus flagship, the Nexus 5, is yet to become official but it has already “accidentally” appeared on the Play Store’s listing with a price tag starting at $349.

The $349 Nexus 5 listed online is for the 16GB version. And since Google’s Play Store is unavailable here in the Philippines, we are not able to see the listing ourselves.

However, according to sources in the U.S. the link doesn’t go anywhere so you can’t purchase it yet. It will definitely go live when it becomes official in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

Dont Compare Android smartphone sa Iphone in terms of specs…kc..nsa performance yan…dual core lng ang iphone 5s (example lng po) but it can perform well because of its a7 chipset.sama mu na rin ang ios w/c is compatible kc isang company lng ang gumawa.and ngdesign ng MOST parts and software (eg.apps) of iphone..maraming tao ngcocompare w/c is better marming disappointed dahil sa specs ng apple., ang icompare nyu ung performance neto..same but i prefer apple..even though it is expensive

Ronron · 13 years ago

iOS seems more stable than Android because it doesn’t have the same level of multitasking and administrative privileges as Android does. It seems better only because of its limitations. Ever heard of the Android app “Tasker”? I guess not. Apple has no app that even comes marginally close to a powerful app like Tasker. But then again iOS is made for novices and the technologically challenged so no Apple fanboy would care.

iwantthat · 13 years ago

Gusto ko yan, buti nalang di na ako bumili ng LG G2

rednefed · 13 years ago

If prefer mo ang phone, the best talaga ang LG G2. NO Doubt! Pero mako- confuse ka talaga kapag naglalabas ang LG ng bago parang gusto mo lahat.. One thing I am sure, LG is definitely different from others.

luiz · 13 years ago

LG G2 offers the best smartphone experience. But what can we do if nacoconfuse ka. LG kasi sila pareho kayo ka siguro nagkakaganyan :)

Todd · 13 years ago

Both are amazing products, buy both! Haha, the nexus 5’s specs looks amazing with the Kitkat. G2 on the other hand beats it with the higher MP camera and other functions.

But both are great products and are at very competitive prices.

MatWC · 13 years ago

Masarap sana magbasa ng blog dito, pero imbes na makabasa ka pa ng articles, napupunta s troll yung oras ng pambasa mo s ibang article. TAE

wew · 13 years ago

hindi natin sila masisisi…ito lang kasi ang paraan nila para makakuha sila ng atensyon kadalasan kasi ung mga ganyang tao may problemang dinadala pero walang pumapansin sa kanila kaya ang resulta maghahanap sila ng paraan pero un nga masama pari ang ginagawa nila pero intindihin na lng natin

awdog · 13 years ago

I hope they bring this phone here and at/close to that price.

luiz · 13 years ago

LG G2 had already launched its debut in the Philippines. Very Interesting, right?

akomatalinopalagkayo · 13 years ago

hula ko mga 5-7k less than than lg g2

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Where the fucking hell did @Bob Freking go?
It’s obvious that the Nexus 5 render he submitted here in YugaTech is plagiarized from @evleaks at twitter.

Ahahahaha, fucking stupid THEIST dorks! Hope that you’ll die of natural selection!!!

a$$ ki$$3r · 13 years ago

pinagtripan mo si bob freking a.palitan mo nlang kaya sya, apply ka kay abe aka yuga

wew · 13 years ago

talaga lang huh?cge nga ipagkumpara mo render ni freking at ng evleaks ipost mo dito hahaha vovo c abuzalzal cguro ung nakalaban ni freking sa position nya ngaun a natalo siya kaya ganyan kabitter

Donya Ina · 13 years ago

Anak,
Okay lang magpost ng mga comments mo pero hindi mo naman kailangan awayin ang ibang tao. Ipost mo nalang ang opinion mo at wag ka na mangaway para lang dumami ang magrereply sayo at di ka rin magmumukhang matalino. Nakikita mo ba ang laman ng box na to? Wala diba, yan ang bilang ng tao sa yugatech na walang pakialam sayo.

Anong pagmamagaling yan? Paki-explain.
Lab U!

wew · 13 years ago

sabe na nga ba puro satsat na naman tong c abuzalzal eh.

a · 13 years ago

I hope Globe offers it in a postpaid plan.

luiz · 13 years ago

Yap meron ng plan ang G2 sa Globe :) Goodnews right? Yours at P1399, by subscribing to Globe postpaid plan 999+P400 cashout monthly. available nationwide.

johnny · 13 years ago

i think yung may pinakamalapit na “playstore price” dito sa atin ay yung nasa mga grey market like kimstore, widgetcity, hotgadgets, etc. yun nga lang sa umpisa talagang boom ang price, nagsstabilize lang sya after 6 months. well, business is business. sure ako na bibili ako neto dahil mukhang astig yung specs for app development, pero hindi ako yung tipo na pagkarelease eh bili bili agad haha. kuripot eh.

LeMe · 13 years ago

mas mura sa mga gray market kasi directly sila kumukuha sa manufacturer, at saka ang LG ay nasa south korea lang kaya yung shipping costs ay mas mura dapat kesa pag sa US dahil mas malapit tayo dun. kaya dapat mas mura pa sa play store price yung benta sa grey market. pero tama ka, business is business.

Ryan · 13 years ago

I will get this phone for Christmas if it truly is at d 350usd range.

luiz · 13 years ago

If your budget is 35K. Then, try to consider purchasing LG G2. it sells for only 30K plus a free pocket photo. Or else try Yours at P1399, by subscribing to Globe postpaid plan 999+P400 cashout monthly. available nationwide.

XTN · 13 years ago

Remember this phone has the lastest driod updates not to mention the fastest mobile procie up to date. I was about to get a plan for Note 3 but this is the only reason I’m holding back because of the Nexus’ price. Google always price their products very competitively. I wish this will be on our local carriers by xmas.

Vernon · 13 years ago

Very well said. I read from an article that Nexus 5 is the fastest Nexus phone ever made and its specs looks nice with the Kit Kat.

Abusalsal · 13 years ago

Overused na yung word na subsidized abuzalzal ah? yan lang ba laman ng dictionary mo?

Nokia3310 · 13 years ago

LOL! Tama, comment ng comment, wala namang pambili. Gawa ka nalang kaya ng sarili mong blog? :))

cheverchenes · 13 years ago

sana pati specs “accidentally” napost din..

zarne · 13 years ago

Rumored Specs of Nexus 5: 5.2 screen, super amoled,full HD display, Soc snapdragon 800, 3GB RAM, 8MP camera which maybe tied to GPS- unit knows its location and adjust camera settings based on weather condition (neat trick if it is true). The 16 GB variant is rumored to be about US$ 200. The source is expert review in UK..http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1299484/google-nexus-5-specs-release-date-price-rumours-and-news

cheverchenes · 13 years ago

i hope dumating na sya sa phils before my phone totally self-destructs..

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Santissima Hangmahal!
Pakonti na ng pakonti ang pwede mong gawin sa 10-12 gb user available space ngayon.

psikick · 13 years ago

mahal? iphone 5c nga lang $549 yung unlocked… give me an android phone na 16gb rin tapos kasing ganda specs ng nexus 5, and same good build quality at a similar $349 price??? mag isip isip kasi muna bago mag comment.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

idiot in da house lmao! kinumpara ba naman ang Apple sa Android

this is the ”Subsidized” price, ikaw ang mag-isip isip, kung hindi mo alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng ”subsidized” and ”unsubsidized” tingin tingin din sa dictionary pag may time.

So tingin mo talaga $349 yan pag nakarating dito ha? OMFG I’m so astounded by your ignorance

psikick · 13 years ago

alam ko na subsidized ang nexus… kaya mura cya sa lahat ng branded android gadgets… ang pinag uusapan dito yung cash out ng customer pagdating sa kanya ng unit… kung ayaw mo apple eh di sige s4 na lang… nasa $575 ang unlocked na 16gb sa US…$349 ang nexus na unlocked din sa US… pag pareho mo binili yan, pareho mo magagamit sa kahit anong sim… no network carrier obligations ka pareho… so alin ang mas mura kung customer ka? wala naman paki alam ang customer kung subsidized yan o hindi, and iniisip nya yung cash out nya… tsaka oo nga mas mahal na dito yan pagdating, pero mas mura pa rin nexus simply because mas mura talaga purchase nya sa source…bakit? ang 5s ba at s4 tig $500+ dito? mas mahal naman talaga dito.. wala naman nagsasabi na $349 din ang price nyan dito.. kumbaga comparison point lang yan na kung ganyan cya, expect mo mas mura cya kesa s4 at iba pa na branded android…

lazlaz u ba? · 13 years ago

haha, guys fighting over a phone UNavailable in the philippines with an UNconfirmed price

Noypi · 13 years ago

Ang tatalino ah.. techie na kayo nyang lagay na yan?

LeMe · 13 years ago

iniisip siguro ni abuzalzal na ka-level lang yung nexus 5 ng cherry mobile kaya napabigkas sya ng “Santissima Hangmahal!” nicompare niya kasi sa low-end low quality brand kaya namahalan sya ng sobra sobrang wagas. fyi, LG po ito. dapat compare mo sya sa specs ng flagship ng Samsung, HTC, and yes even Apple. pag nakita mo yung agwat ng prices nila NGANGA ka nalang. i personally own the nexus4 which i bought for 15k compared sa 25k-30k+ ng samsung at htc. astig yung performance, at maganda pa dahil walang bloatware. purong android lang. at hindi rin sya madaling masiraan ng hardware tulad ng crappy local brands.

cocopadilla · 13 years ago

posibleng mahal nga yan pagdating dito.. nung una yung N4 binenta between 22-26K sa stores sa mall at initially ganun din sa mga online stores pero biglang nag-price drop sa mga online stores to 15K ang N4. so kung iisipin initial price nyan dito saten pag nag-release yung mga online stores eh nasa price range din ng 20-25K since LG din naman ang may gawa.
