I'm just curious why Motorola wasn't tapped to produce the Nexus 5, given the Google acquisition. I trust the hardware that Motorola produces a lot more than LG. (Too bad Nokia couldn't build it!)
Anybody know anything about this? Do you think they'll build the Nexus 6?

Personally I feel Motorola has some of the worst screen on the market.

I think it's because they fear legal action, I think we will see a Motorola nexus only when all the major manufacturers have a play edition phone.

Huawei, Oppo, who else is missing?
Here we don't have any play edition phone, anyway for what I know there's only Samsung and HTC, maybe even Motorola but I'm not sure... LG and Sony are missing...

Huawei and Oppo are crap, LG barely makes it outta the crap zone thanks to Google for handing them the Nexus contract.
I hope next Nexus is made by Sony or Moto.

I'd pay an extra few bucks for a Sony-built water resistant Nexus.
So would I, my last fav Nexus was Nexus One, Im sure Sony can top that.

sony android phones are big battery eaters..
i dont think they can make good nexus phones..
I've never though highly of Motorola but I would be ok with a Nexus phone made by them.
Motorola? Never again! Remember the Atrix 4G? It was the first flagship phone with 1G memory and a fingerprint scanner. And it is still on Gingerbread. After putting the phone on the market they just ignored it, basically telling owners to buy a new phone if they wanted Ice Cream Sandwich. Bought my first Nexus with Jelly Bean and never looked back.

There seems to be a few people on other forums i visit that are selling their S4's for an iphone 5S, maybe because of KNOX or they just bored with android or something & the size of it.
I've had a hold of the iphone 5S, and while i do think it's a good little device, i don't think i would be tempted to part with the S4 for it.
I mean £629 for an iPhone 5S 32gb, you can get a Note 3 for less, but each to their own.
So how many on here are planning of getting shut of their S4's for an iphone 5S.
i m definitely not getting an iphone 5s as imho it doesn t bring major changes from the iphone 5 but i actually love the ios 7 so i will keep an eye on the iphone 6. for now i m more excited about the nexus 5 .

i'll buy a Xiaomi Mi3, and will give my S4 to my mom.
and she will give me back my i5 and maybe i sell it.
For i5s? No fkn way!! But for note 3 yeeees!!

Buying a newer Android device makes sense to me ... replacing it with Iphone doesn't except if someone never used an iOS device and want to give it a try or he did the same for Androd and didn't like it .. or just to show off with latest popular device ...
I'd be surprised to hear many people jump ship on this forum... just way too many restrictions and disadvantages imo using an apple device.

I guess if you don't care about the difference in price, ~$200 for an unlocked device.

As much as that would be a great reason since I have to wait for TELUS to get it anyways cause I can't afford to by it out it does not help me make a choice in this case other then it should still be cheaper.
Sent from my MI 2 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It was a tough choice, but since the rumor that the N5 is getting a 3000MAh battery was getting debunked, I decided to go with the G2 a few days ago. I might get the N5 as a backup phone if it's announcement impresses me.
If I were to choose a N5 over the G2, it be for the pure google experience, even if i'd say LG's skin is decent.
The lg g2 got the WORST review of any android flagship phone.
It has been discovered that it has carrierID (evil).
We might (my speculation) see a Google edition g2 in the future, I'd get that over a n5 or a regular g2

Definitely N5 for me...Cheaper, decent specs and...Google exprience !
A Nexus device is better than skinned one, gonna get it as soon as I can and sell my Note 3.

Well I'm in the same situation as OP, my family is just got off contract with Sprint and we going prepaid trail. So i was sold on G2 before i heard that Nexus 5 is about to get released. So i decided to patiently wait for N5.
Why would i wait? Because I want to always have latest Android os as soon as it released. Because price is cheaper.

Knox is tripped by flashing a Rom or recovery. When u go back to stock the knox is still tripped and u can't change it back to normal. Samsung uses this as an excuse to void ur warranty.
It's some bs that makes me disappointed with Samsung because I wanted the phone for a while but if I can't flash a Rom and totally go back to stock for warranty then it ruins the fun

Given that the Nexus 5 and LG G2 will be similar, is it reasonable to expect that the battery life on the Nexus 5 will be awesome too?
im still debating
I think at this point as long as the nexus 5 gets announced this week I am getting it. If we get no word from Google then I am done waiting.

So I have the G2 and I have a buddy of mine offering to trade it for a 32GB N5. While I know that its basically the same phone I am more encouraged to simply because I feel that the N5 is more future proof.
Am I wrong for this ? Or should I keep it.

You should change the title to "Might Trade for the Nexus 5".
And to answer your question, yes the Nexus 5 should be more future proof than the G2.

The hardware changes include: larger speaker grills and sturdier buttons. Get the version with the newest hardware. You can tell if it's the newer version if the phone's first three serial numbers are above 311 (312, etc).
There's also another way by looking at the HW Version in the fastboot mode. REV_12 or higher should all have the latest hardware revisions.
Fyi, the G2's base cost (~$669.00 unlocked on ebay) is much greater than the Nexus' base cost ($400 unlocked off the play store). Keep that in mind before trading.
The G2 has a better camera and battery.
I almost got one but found a good deal on a Nexus 5.

I personally would go with the Nexus 5 because of official software updates and the day development community that continues to grow!
If you don't care much about development and timely/official updates from google then I'd say stick with the G2.

I would trade the G2 for nexus 5 and sell the g2 and rebuy nexus 5 and you would probably make a profit

Hi folks I am considering buying a nexus 5. Currently have a moto X and I'm happy with it. However I missed the stock Android and Nexus experience. They're all kinds of pros and cons with this phone as you all know. I guess after all this time, do you think the phone is still worth purchasing? Main reason being is the next Nexus is a matter of months away. What would you owners say? Thanks.

As Midnight_Rider Put It... In A Matter Of 6 Months... I Just Used My Jump Upgrade and Went From A HTC One M7 > Note 3 > iPhone 5s Gold (Worst Decision I Ever Made In The Handset Division... The IPad Is Cool But Not The Phone) and Now I Have The Nexus 5...
As Stated Before... Best Decision I Ever Made In The Mobile World In A While. I've Had the Nexus One & the Galaxy Nexus... Minus the Nexus S As I Wasn't On Sucky Sprint But Now That I Have the Nexus 5... I Can Clearly Admit That I'm Thrilled To Be Back To Pure Google, Unlocked, Unrestricted and On the Un-Carrier and the Nexus World.
I Said the Same Thing... As the Next Nexus Is Due By December and The G3 Is Right Around the Corner But Seriously... Its A No Brainer... I Wish the Best To You Young Padawon On Your Choices... Choose Wisely lol ?

I am planning to buy a new android phone and shortlisted Nexus 5 and Xperia ZR. I think Nexus 5 would be a better choice because of its large development support but question in my mind is "Is it worth waiting for Nexus 6?". There is no fixed date for Nexus 6 but hopefully it will be announced in Q4 of this year. Please suggest, should i buy nexus 5 or wait for nexus 6? Is it worth waiting for?
From my research cons of nexus 5 that i don't want to get with are: Battery life and Camera. And both of these might get upgraded in Nexus 6.
Thanks in advance.
We don't even know if there will be a 6. The rumour mill says not. Its an impossible question

Google confirmed that the nexus program isn't going anywhere. There probably will be a successor to the nexus 5,it would only make sense since android L supports 64 bit, maybe even put more than 3gb. Who knows, it's all speculation
