[jezus101]

The forum specs say the Nexus 5 has 3GB of RAM but it only has 2GB

Why on earth would you need 3GB? A Nexus device doesn't need that much, because the OS is lightweight without any additional BS. If you use your phone properly and don't let unnecessary stuff to run in the background, then 2GB is more than enough.

To be honest, I think these forums were a bit premature. The XDA staff should've waited until it was officially announced, these forums are filled with speculation threads and spam.

2GB is more than enough - it's (hopefully) going to be a good budget phone as well just like the N4.

Man this thread is worthless..one can only tell 100% true specs about a damn phone which isn't even't released when one holds in in their hands or if it has been announced.
iPhone 6 has 2GB Ram.

Never say any amount is too much, Bill Gates will never live the quote down of no-one needing more than 640k 3GB would let you run more apps at once and give games more breathing room, so while it might not be needed yet it would certainly extend the usable life of the phone.

In my opinion 2gb of RAM is more than enough. At least for now, of course. I never kill apps and have never had full RAM.

You guys seem to be missing the point. He's not complaining that the N5 has only 2GB, he's letting XDA mods know that there's something wrong with the listed forum specs (unless the phone actually ships with 3GB).

All the knee-jerk responses of "2GB is more than enough" is amusing.

And we have a winner.
"Tell em what he's won Johnny."

"Well, our lucky contestant has won an all-expenses paid trip to Mountain View, California to visit the Google complex, a new Nexus 9 prototype that has over 9000gb of RAM, a brand new Google-Glass cornea implant because why do we even need hardware anymore, a new 3-wheeled Reliant Robin and a giant burlap sack with a $ sign on the side (meaning it is full of money)."

All prizes are subject to verification and void in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Like Harvey and KC said above, it will be fixed once the "Actual" specs are out on Oct 15.
