That is a pretty general question that is hard to answer, because it is depends on what you value. The simple answer is that the N5 is basically one-year newer in terms of the hardware inside, has a little bigger screen, and supports 4g LTE. There are a lot of other minor differences, so I suggest googling Nexus 5 vs Nexus 4, because there are a few articles already out there that discuss the differences. More impressions will probably follow as more people get their hands on the Nexus 5.
Either device can do all the cool smartphone stuff you could want them to do right now, but the Nexus 5 will be a little more future-proof since the hardware in it is a year newer and it will get system updates longer. Whether that and the other differences are worth the $100 difference is up to you.

Of course get the newer phone ... what a silly question

I did not have N4 but I have had my N5 since 2pm yesterday and I love it! It is nice looking, very smooth to use, feels great in the hand. You would not regret getting one!

hello bro, good to see you on the N5 forums!

Ok sounds good, but are you sure nexus 5 screen isn't too big than nexus 4? i know that nexus 5 screen is 5" and nexus 4 is 4.7", which is better for you?

If you like/need latest and greatest, or any of the features unique to the N5 are must-haves, then go for it. If not, the N4 is still a fantastic device and will be for a few years yet, and may save you some money. A good condition N4 can be had for about half the price of a new N5.

I find the screen to be the perfect size for me. I did have a note 2 which was too big. I really like the size of this phone.

Well, I'd say you can hardly get a totally unbiased opinion in here since most of us are here for the Nexus 5. We wont even know it if we're being biased. How about get some opinion from tech media such as Cnet, Engadget, etc. Oh, dont go to The Verge, cause that's iVerge.

i think i'll go with nexus 5, but some friends told me is good the HTC one too, which do you prefer within nexus 5 and htc oe?
also do you advice the 16 gb nexus 5 black/white or the 32 gb nexus 5 black/white? is the 32 gb really worth or 16 gb is enogh??

@killomp if your going to get the HTC ONE, Just wait for the second Gen. The NX5 is better then OG ONE in almsot every way behinds viewing angle and possible light bleed and not being made of aluminum (the one is also an uncomfortable tall device to hold IMHO)

I'd say definitely go for Nexus 5. The best Nexus phone you can get at the moment.

SO, to put it in perspective, you've pretty much got better everything. I like the Nexus 4. It's got a great feel to it but the glass back kind of puts me off (even though it was fixed in later models). It's got last year's best tech whereas the nexus 5 has this year's best tech or pretty much about as good as you'd need it really...
For me, when you take hardware out, I think the Nexus 5 has a much better feel. It's slightly curved back is really enjoyable and comfortable as opposed to the Nexus 4's flat back. I prefer the matte finish instead of the Glass back. It's also a lot more low profile. I personally prefer the Nexus 5 a lot more. Better hardware and a more comfortable feel for me.
Basically it really comes down to your budget. They're both entirely usable phones with great hardware that is more than sufficient for running pretty much anything. If you feel you could blow that extra $100 then by all means, go for the Nexus 5. But you can't go wrong with the Nexus 4 either

I just saw your last post
The HTC One is beautiful. Just got about the most premium feel to any phone i've seen. But I'm pretty sure the HTC One will cost a lot more dollars than the Nexus 5 or Nexus 4. In Canada at least, it's like $300-$400 CAD difference

If you can afford it, get the LG G2 instead. It's similar to N5 but with much better battery life

[Q] Bought the Nexus 4 for GF. Bad move?

SOLVED!!
GF decided she wants to buy the N5 so I sold the N4 on craigslist!
If you are trying to keep costs down. The nexus 4 is fine..
Thanks. Is the nexus 4 still considered a relevant phone for at least another year?

I think so, as it will be supported by Google for at least another year and some new phones like the One Max have still almost the same processor built in.

Good point. from what I understand, the only reason why Google stop supporting the Nexus S, is because it did not have enough RAM. Google is pretty good on their software updates on their older flagships. I think this is a good buy..
if worse comes to worst, I can always sell the phone for a pretty good price. I notice these Nexus phone hold their value very well.
u bought it already and not bad choice if ur gf is into gaming and stuff or into phones n5 would be better even im thinking to keep n4 but u know... I JUST CAN'T DO IT!!! it isn't out yet anyway dont worry: n4 is great phone

If the Nexus 5 wasn't just about to be released and I wasn't an upgrade-aholic, the Nexus 4 would be my go-to phone. It's that good.
You probably should have asked this in the Nexus 4 forum.
It's a Nexus, Google will support it for more than another year. They only stopped supporting the two earliest Nexus since it lacks the hardware to run the new OS and ability to receive such large over the air updates (low ram and too small /system partition to hold the system files). The Nexus 4 is a powerful device I wouldn't be surprised if it'll get updates for atleast 2 more years. If it wasn't for needing the best spec or playing high graphical games, the Nexus 4 will probably work fine for another 3 years. It still get Android version earlier than any other non-Nexus devices, although the battery life and camera quality might not be up to standard anymore. Gaming is only a problem because of the thermal throttling which kicks in at 39*C, but if you flash custom kernel you can raise it to 60*C or higher.
The Nexus 4 does have Band 4 LTE that works with T-Mobile if you flash the LTE compatible baseband.
The Galaxy Nexus is still being supported by Google as of now, so I think the Nexus 4 will be good for quite a while.

I'm getting the N5. My GF has a crappy HTC One VX and I got her a Nexus 4 16GB for 240 out the door. She is paying me the difference after I sell her VX.
I know there is no LTE on the N4 but She doesn't use much mobile data... She only has 300 mb on her plan.
I'm going to be flashing CarbonRom and Franco kernel on it and let her tinker with it. Shes starting to get into this android thing lolol. She rooted her locked bootloader Samsung tablet herself lol.
After taxes and shipping the N5 would come out to about 400 bucks. That's 160 more than the N4...
Now the main question is, how does the N4 compare to new phones out now? Does it still hold it's own? Was this a good buy for her? I mean we are trying to keep costs down for her.
Mind you, I have never even held a N4. Its still in the mail

You must be mistaken. She wants the Nexus 4 and doesn't want to go through the hassle of selling her current phone: so ill sell it for her. She is buying her own phone with her own cash. Her VX is irritating her. I'm just doing all the buying and selling and moneywork.
Well I have some news: she decided to get the Nexus 5 as well. I sold the Nexus 4 on craigslist and made profit.

Na man the N4 sounds like a great phone for her, she doesn't sound like a power user so i don't think she would see much difference between the N4 and the N5 and the N4 will get all the least updates for the next year or two so its all good man.
I agree with lqrt here for the cost the nexus is fine. If she's getting into the whole android thing " jealous by the way" she will enjoying the nexus 4 because there are lots and lots of hacks for it now if you got a nexus 5 it would take a good while for alot of hacks to come to soak up like a sponge with water lol

[Q] Anyone regrer choosing nexus 5 over LG G2?

Just wondering since I am looking to trade my lg g2. Just want to get some feedback from actual owners.
The battery in the G2 is nice, but that's about it. Performance is similar and the camera in the G2 is probably better, but I only use my phone to snap quick pics, not as an SLR so I can't really tell.

nope, the G2 is nice, but it's not really an upgrade... at least not in my opinion.
I think it's a what you intend to do with it
I'm a n00b and got the N5 to start learning how to modify Android phones. A buddy of mine got the G2 and loves it but doesn't want to mess with it. I haven't checked any of the G2 forums so I'm not sure how easy it is to modify.

In my opinion the sound quality is bad. I have the g2, s4 and the nexus 5 right here on the table and the G2 and s4 are better. The only thing I like about the nexus is the price and it feels better in my hands. The battery isn't to bad but it's not good either. The people who say the battery is better then the s4 are lying lol but its not bad tho. My G2 is my daily driver now

No regrets since the G2 comes at about $200 more without a contract. and if you want it cheap you have to get a contract...its a lose lose
althought I only have about 6 more months on my AT&T 2yr contract and I thought about upgrading to the G2 to keep my unlimited data and contract...

Ordered the Nexus 5 the day it came out, used it for a week and then got an LG G2 given to me as part of my job, used it for 24 hours and was then back to my Nexus, only thing nice about the G2 was the battery life & now it just sits collecting dust until it gets sold. Nexus 5 > G2

Upgrade from N4 to N5?

I have had a Nexus 4 since the end of August.
I've been given the opportunity to upgrade to a new Nexus 5. Should I go for it, or should I wait instead and get the Nexus 6 (or whatever it will be called) in October when its released?
Anyone who did make the jump from the N4, your opinions will be greatly appreciated. I can't see any groundbreaking improvements...?
So far I'm leaning on sticking with the N4 for now, its not even a year old yet and does pretty much all I want to do on it. I'm a casual user, no root, stock KitKat etc.
Cheers.

In all honesty I don't think it is worth it, yeah; 1080p, better camera, processor, and speaker is moved but really..... eh as far as I am concerned.. If I remember correctly you can get LTE on the Nexus 4 (I never did though). I upgraded just because I wanted the latest nexus device.
I also got my N4 in August. I only had it until the week the N5 came out. It was just too tempting! I don't think the N5 is a massive upgrade but my N4 used to shut itself down overnight sometimes. The N5 has been totally reliable and feels much more robust. Its the first Android phone that I've kept close to stock. Franco kernel is well worth looking at.

lte works great on the nexus 4. sure, it officially doesnt have it. but its easy enough to enable.
anyways, in speed and performance, the nexus 5 blows away the nexus 4.
Upgraded from the N4 to N5 since November and never looked back!
If you can wait for the Motorola-Lenovo Nexus then wait for it or if you can't buy it now then sell it later then use that $ pickup the new motoleno nexus
I also came from the n4 and mainly upgraded to the n5 because of the bigger screen, camera, and sd800. The camera itself was enough for me to buy it since the n4 had this horrible over exposure preview problem when taking pictures. Which made it extremely difficult to tell if it was a good picture or not until I went into the gallery to check it.
Either way, I have no regrets
No regrets, had the N4 for about 4 months before moving to the N5. N4 was my first foray back into Android phone since the LG Eve (which Rogers/LG abandoned pretty much, had to beg to get 1.6 when everyone else was getting 2.2). N5 to me feels much more refined than the N4, in terms of just the feel of the phone itself (thinner, sleeker, barely taller but the screen difference was noticeable). That said, it's much more like an evolutionary vs revolutionary device when compared with the N4.
I would say no. I would personally only upgrade ever 2 cycle. Went from an Samsung Galaxy S2X to a nexus 5 and it wasn't that big of a jump, but the price was right.
Snapdragon 800 ia a beast
had N4 from march, changed to another one in August..and in November moved to N5. wouldnt go back in a lifetime!
go for n5
The Nexus 4 isn't that bad although the only thing I miss/don't miss is the glass back. It made the phone stand out but I was so scared of damaging it.
What I really do love about the Nexus 5 is that we now have the option for a 32gb (which I now have unopposed to a 16gb Nexus 4). The screen is also a lot better, camera is a million times better and the speaker has definitely improved over the Nexus 4. I remember being embarrassed when showing a friend or a family member a YouTube video and them asking me to turn my volume up and I'm like "its all the way up".

I don't usually change phones very often frequently, so if I did get the N5 I wouldn't be expecting to get an N6 straight after in a few months.
So its really just one or the other.

So i had the Nexus 4, changed to Galaxy S4 and i am now on my Nexus 5.
Speed is a reason! You don't see that in speedtests but Nexus 4 and S4 had some laggy feeling that the Nexus 5 doesn't have. I played last week with the nexus 4 of a friend last week an i felt like i went back to stoneage... But afterall its everything a matter of perception.
The second reason to change is the camera! I hated the really bad camera of the nexus 4, i liked the camera of the Galaxy S4 and i love the camera of the Nexus 5. Yes the galaxy s4 has a better camera on high light conditions, but i make 90% of my pictures in parties/night under low light conditions and there the camera of the Nexus 5 is brilliant!
The third reason is Nexus wireless charger with it's magnets and the vertical charging! Really nice although a bit expensive gimmick.Really good to use in your car.
After all everything goes down to the money. I was able to make the change without paying anything, but i would definitely make the change even if i had to pay!

[Q] Buying the Nexus 5 today

Im in the hunt for a new phone. Ive been thinking about buying the new Z3 Compact when its launched but I cannot stand the modified android version the different manufacturers are using, I HAVE to run vanilla or close to it. I know I could root any phone and install stock android on it but im not sure if its worth the hassle for me considering it takes time to make a stable rom etc.
The perfect phone would be a smaller Nexus 5 in my mind, good usability in one hand and fast updates. I guess it wont exist in the near future tho?
Is it a smart decision to buy the Nexus 5 today?
Get one. If you don't like it you can return it. Only you can decide if you like the N5
N5

I just received mine in the mail today, I love it. It feels so sturdy and solid, I will be keeping it for a long time.
I forgot to mention, I have used the N5 for a couple of weeks and I really like it. Do you think I just should go for it?
absolutely ! go and buy one !
Get it and start having a great time with the Nexus5 on XDA!
I have owned every nexus made and the nexus 5 is an amazing device. I highly recommend it
I know the N5 is an awesome device, I'm just worried about the Android silver program being released and all of a sudden there are plenty of "nexuses" around to chose from. Do you guise think it will be announced any time soon?

Hard to say... but don't hold your breath!
I don't see how any android silver device could touch the $350 price tag. Your only competition would be the moto x in this price point.

I had the 16 GB nexus 5 from sprint... Traded it so I could get the gs5...I now have a 32gb nexus 5 and my gs5 is sitting in my dresser
The nexus 5 is great

Asking in the Nexus 5 forum whether or not to buy the Nexus 5? Great!
Anyways, just like the others, I will suggest you to get it but the Nexus 6's rumors have started again and this time around it's been manufactured by Motorola!
Alright, I'm getting the nexus. You guise convinced me. Now I just have to decide on colour! What do you guise think about the different colours?

Different colours for different schmullers. Pick whats best for you. This also goes for custom roms. Dont ask us when you get it what rom you should use. Please just make up your own mind.
You have had help deciding whether or not to get the nexus 5 I think it is best you decide which color you like when you get to the store or if your purchasing online then look at the colors there. The color part isn't much of a big deal and mainly comes down to personal preference. So I think it would be best for you to decide on your own

Will you buy the nexus 6 or stay with the nexus 5?

Will you guys get the nexus 6 when it's available for sale or stick with the nexus 5 cause I've bought the nexus 5 about only a month ago and the phones get to my country overpriced -the 16 GB nexus 5 was about 500$- so I'm worried people might stop developing for or using the nexus 5 cause I may not be able to get the nexus 6
How many threads do you need to make?
There is already a "Nexus 6" thread in the General section.
I suppose this is different from speculation. Anyway, I think it all depends on what it will offer. Possibly bigger battery, better camera. Some new and original features. Processor/RAM doesn't really matter to me. It's already fast. I think I'm leaning on keeping it just because we will have Android L to play with so the software will be the same. However, if it has unique features I might get it.
I usually get the next Nexus pending price...
Assuming the price, I'll be hitting up the Nexus 6, and getting my girl to switch from Verizon to AT&T and give her my Nexus 5.
You damn Skippy I'm going to buy the nexus 6.

Not if it has a huge screen. I am not interested in a phablet.
