Guys, Nexus 5 is available if you're from Chennai and Mumbai. If anyone wants to grab, check out LG showrooms.
I tried locally, but with no luck till now.

Check out your nearest Official LG showroom, and they are selling for 1k more as compared to the price on Google Play. They told my friend that Google is selling at a subsidy rate via Google play store. lol
So if you purchase the phone locally, expect it to cost 1k more than it's on Playstore i.e. Nexus 5 16gb 29,999rs and 32GB will be 33,999rs.

Has there been any update to fix the camera quality?

That's the only thing which makes it a dealbreaker for me. And at 30k, the camera champion: Galaxy s4 seems very affordable too.
I did see some camera mod on xda rectifies the bad compression of Nexus 5 camera pictures. Has anyone laid hands on a piece and tried the mod?

Even I have read reports about shoddy camera quality but according to a statement by Google it's not hardware related but software related and a fix will out soon.
Also imo Nexus 5 is better choice than s4 until you buy google version of s4.

Cool. That's like a 2 minute walk for me. I'll go check it out. Not gonna upgrade though.
Even the Google Edition of s4 isn't THAT great a buy today IMO, unless the only thing you literally want from a smartphone is a good camera. Especially when you can get faster phones at the same price.

Representatives from the Android team say that software is to blame for the weak performance, not hardware, and reps tell me that a fix is coming to deal with the issues in the upcoming weeks. I've even seen an early build of the new software, and while it's only a minor improvement — autofocus is a hair faster, but still inconsistent, and picture quality hasn't changed — it's nice to see Google already at work.
