Just like the Nexus 4, Google will offer two different versions of the Nexus 5, but storage size won't be the only difference. You will still be able to buy either a 16GB or 32GB version, but each version could sport a different battery. The 2,300mAh battery that we saw in the leaked service manual will apparently be in the 16GB version, but the 32GB version will get a whopping 3,000mah cell.
Pricing is going to be similar to last year, but the larger battery in the 32GB version is going to bring a little higher premium. The 16GB version will go for $299 and the 32GB version will run $399 (last year $349). It's still too much of a premium for the difference in capacity size, but I have no problem paying $50 more for a decent battery.
The next question on my mind is whether or not Google will have enough supply to handle the demand?

Atleast the nexus is a flagship which offers more for less unlike the fruit named company which produces a half baked device every year and sell it at high price!!!
Key Lime Pie is still not fully baked……………………………………………….which is the reason for KitKat, unless they can finish testing in time.
The previous flagship had much hiccups as all owner can vouch/confirm.
half baked as in lacking in functionality and features…
android at 2.3 was a lot more functional and feature rich than any other OS at that moment
KitKat === Key Lime Pie.
Great question re supply v demand. It was shocking last time let’s hope they given this more consideration.
Yes exactly i hope we don’t wait 6 months to find one available when samsung galaxy S5 is here !!
You guys here want everything for free!? Including this bitch-ass reporter. $400 for a FULL-Fledged phone, with probably a good 6+ hours of browsing screen-on time and 2-day standby time with everything enabled (Google Now, Locations, full sync, etc like it was meant to be.) and you think the $100 is too much?! There is no other phone that will come close to this run-time except the $700+ Note phones. You are all pathetic as consumers.
2-day standby time is very very short……………………..my spare dinosaur Nokia is 5 days standby before it requires charging.
………………….and you’re not taking one cent out of my wallet until the definite specifications and pricings are released, then I may still opt for a Oppo Find 5 and run it on CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM.
If Google can afford to pack in good hardware at the $299 price point, a 3,000 mAh battery shouldn’t be that difficult either.
TAKE MY MONEY NOW GOOGLE.
My wallet it’s up for your taking…
take my money. getting the 32GB version.
Good question
Sweet phone for a sweet price, hope it turns out to be true.
