I had an s4, sold it for the n5 because I loved my Nexus 7 and just had to have a nexus phone as well.

Skip punctuation much ?
Some would prefer the S4 to the Nexus 5 and others prefer the Nexus 5. Do your research and watch some reviews and then decide.

I currently have an S4 as well, and I can't wait to replace it with the Nexus 5. It looks so much sexier. I'm tired of crap plastic.

Im jumping from my note 3 to the nexus 5 so I'd say yes, definetley from the S4. You just can't compare android phones with pure bred Google phones.

My main concern with nexus 5 is how will be battery life. I wish there was a model with 3000 mah like lg g2,but it didn't happened.

I also have a s4, hopefully my n5 comes tomorrow.. And I'll use its camera to take pictures of my s4 to put on eBay

Nexus 4 for yourself or your love one?

Alright guys I can only afford to buy one nexus 4 this holiday , I am currently using a Galaxy nexus , I ordered one 16gb N4 for my gf because she is still using an iPhone first generation...... I don't mind to skip this nexus generation for her and I hold on to my Gnex for another year. So, what would you do ? Would you guys do the same?

Imo, if you really like her and have a strong relationship, buy it for her. You'll be much happier overall, and the nexus 4 isn't a revolutionary upgrade from the gnex anyhow.

If she isn't really a tech lover and only cares about messaging and some basic stuff maybe you can give to her your gnexus and let the n4 for yourself, anyways if you want to make a surprise I think that you should give it to her.

Google nexus 10 or galaxy note 10

I do have option to get either one and can't make decision.
Can someone help?
Which one is better?
I do have s2, s3, s4 and first generation ipad.
Is galaxy note tab would be wiser or try Google nexus 10 this time?
Thanks in advance.

If you will use the S-Pen, the note. Otherwise, the Nexus for better upgrade cycles.

What phone would you get if you gave up your S4?

As title states, what would everyone be shopping/holding out for if you were going to get rid of your S4.

I just traded my HTC one for the s4, I dont think im going to upgrade for a while probably till the next batch of phones is released.
Probably go back to being in the “Hipster" crowd and get the newest IPhone.

Thinking of going to the hipster crowd I had s3 and just got an s4 and this one is very lagging
If Apple came out with a 4.5"+ screen I'd go back to Apple in a heartbeat. Alas they fail to listen to the crowds who want 720p+ and higher screen PPI or larger screen.
well my backup phone is a note 2, but I won't see going with a sideways exchange so would wait for a note 3 if anything if upgrading when it comes out

Heard that the iPhone 5s is going to be a 4.2" but that's just rumors. I ran iOS 7 beta on my iPhone 4 and loved it.

Oppo find 7 running CM 10.2.
And I have an HTC One. I really have mixed feelings about this phone.

Note 3 (5.7 in screen) or GSM HTC Butterfly S w/LTE... i have the non LTE (but HSPDA+) version. it's the HTC One without the aluminum casing, same LCD screen but 5 inches (vs 4.7), same camera with a 3200 mAH non-removable battery and a microSD slot. the Butterfly S convinced me to give up my Note II, but not my S4
Nokia 3260. With the aftermarket light up antenna and battery. While rocking the fur Elise ringtone. Had every ifad until I got the og note. I couldn't see ever going back. To restrictive on everything. I still remember the black home screen wallpaper, non MMS sending iPhone. Everything that's iOS has that's good was ripped from android (multitasking,notification center, etc).

When I bought my S4A, I did so under the premise that it was only meant to hold me over until the Nexus 5 (or whatever the next one will be called) came out. However, I'm finding that I really like this phone (once I rooted, made some necessary tweaks, and got rid of all the bloatware).
Now, I'm thinking that the next Nexus is going to have to really sell itself to pull me back. Of course, if the next update irreparably removes my root and cancels all my changes... then the N5 will be looking shiny again.

For a tablet at least 8inch screen is better
Wait for second generation Nexus 10.

It depends on where you want to use it. A nexus 7 is just perfect for using your tablet on the go and the nexus 10 will do better at home.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I had both at one point and I must admit, the new Nexus 7 felt so skinny. It might not bother you but I think it should've been a bit thicker. The software and hardware on both devices are great though. If you have a few extra dollars, get the Nexus 10. You won't be disappointed.

Is your S4 a Google Play Edition? Why do you want the Nexus 5?
If you want the N5 for Android 4.4 I would wait for the update to come for your S4.

My first piece of advice is get it from google and not your carrier if possible. Google sells it cheaper than any carrier I've seen. Secondly, Since you have the s4 you might want to wait. Essentially the only things being upgraded for you (objectively speaking) is the Processor chip and OIS for the camera. Everything else is either equal or lesser. In your case, I would only suggest upgrading if updates are of importance for you. If they aren't wait for the next big smartphone release.
My son is going to use my s4 I have found a 4g contract deal that comes with a n7 free cheaper than my s4
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would say go for it if it's a good deal.
Since your son will be using the S4 then you would need a phone and the N5 will be a good but not amazing upgrade hardware wise, though software wise imo is far superior to TW.
