Nexus 5 Revisions
Hi, I ordered my Nexus 5 from Amazon this week and it's here!
However, I think it's the very first model with the smaller speaker holes and the phone rattles very slightly when shaken - due to the power button I think. Does it matter? Is it actually faulty or is it fine? Thanks |

Is there somewhere you can check serial numbers?
Mine doesn't do that, which i bought from JL a few months ago. |

mine is the first model too and doesn't rattle.
but if it is the buttons i figure they may be full of detritus. |

As I said in the other thread, there is indeed a different revision. The latest one has a modified power button so it doesn't rattle and bigger speaker holes.

Yeah - Stiggles is correct. Amazon are sending me a replacement tomorrow. I guess it's pot luck if I get an old version or a new one, but for £280 I'd expect the latest revised model in all honesty.

Oddly my first one with small holes didnt have a rattle on the power button and my second one with marginally larger holes doesn't have a rattle on the power button. |

Not a hardware revision then is it.

It may be the camera rattling, not the power button. The camera mechanism has some moving parts - mine makes a rattling noise if I tap the phone near the camera. Solution: don't tap the phone

My N5 rattles a bit, no idea if it is the buttons or not. It's in a case anyway so it doesn't really matter. Quote:
