Samsung will launch a smartphone with 5.8 inch display in coming months, according to a report of SAMMobile. The phone will get similar size and chassis as the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 which is available only in Korea.
The Galaxy Player 5.8, which is only for sale in Korea, has a 5.8 inch TFT screen with QHD resolution. Besides, it has a 3 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth 4.0, and runs on Android 4.0.
Samsung is likely to unveil the handset during the Mobile World Congress in February. There is no information about its launch in India either but usually Samsung products come to India soon after their launch elsewhere.
While Galaxy Note and Note II were the biggest phones when they launched, this one is not going to have that title as there are Indian companies which have already launched phones larger than that such as the Byond Phablet III (6.0 inch) and Karbonn A30 (5.9 inch).

There are currently many bugs discussed,here are some of them
1. Audio problem
The most discussed problem in the Nexus 5 has been the audio. Users report the speaker is not loud enough, and the audio quality is poor. The two grills at the bottom edge are confused for speakers from the pictures but actually, the bottom left grill is the speaker, and the right grill is actually a microphone.
Workaround: There isn't anything from Google that fixes this problem as of now. However, there are couple of fixes you can try. The most obvious fix is to ensure you aren't blocking the speaker (bottom left grill) with your hand. Another one is downloading a third-party music app for the music playback, which unfortunately will not help you majorly but you can tweak around with the equaliser settings. Else wait for an update from Google to fix it.

2. Issues with the camera
Though Nexus 5 features an 8-megapixel Optical Image Stabilisation camera module, there are a lot of complaints regarding slow auto-focus, shutter lag, blurry images and inconsistent colour reproduction in images. The widely-accepted consensus on this issue is that the problems are not because of the camera hardware, but the software.
Workaround: While you have to wait for a camera app or firmware update from Google for a long-term fix, in the meantime you can try third-party camera apps.
3. Wi-Fi connection problem
An issue which has been noticed widely with the Nexus 5 is the Wi-Fi connection drop.
Workaround: Simply switching Wi-Fi off and on, or toggling Airplane mode and back again has been known to fix the problem for some users. Others reported success after rebooting the phone. Another possible fix is via Wi-Fi Settings. Here, select Advanced then select Wi-Fi frequency band and try '2.4GHz only' or '5GHz only' instead of Auto, and see if that helps.

4. Power button problem

A few Nexus 5 users have complained about the power button making a knocking sound when the phone is shaken.
Workaround: If the movement is slight, then it's normal, but if you find it really loose, then you might want to consider getting the phone replaced. You could also use a case for the phone if you don't get a replacement device.

Nexus 5 also comes with a below par battery backup, but there's not much you can do about it, unless you see erratic behaviour (e.g. huge battery drain within no time). If you experience such problems, you might be eligible for getting a replacement unit.
