Yep guyz.as title says.vote on
although i prefer HTC as a manufacturer i voted for Motorola because i want Google to give every manufacturer the chance to release a nexus phone.
since HTC did the first one i now want a Nexus Moto.
I'd say HTC, because ever since the Nexus S they're plastic-y while the One has an aluminium unibody.
Apple...
J/K....
Nokia! Lumia 900 with Android (a dream!) in white gorgeous!
...
HTC! Prefer their designs and would love to see them make a Nexus.
to be honest, an apple on the oustide, Android on the inside phone wouldnt be half bad haha
but id say either Moto or Samsung

I voted for Motorola. I agree it would be need for Google to give everyone a chance at it. But them choosing Motorola for the next one might not be well-received because it could be seen as them playing favorites.
I have had all 4 nexus/dev phones (HTC Dream, Nexus One, Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus)
The HTC phones blow the samsung ones out of the water. FYI, as an active xda member I like to think that I know my phones quite well. Samsung in both cases has skimped on thier Nexus phones. Both the SNS and SGN are missing features from the GS and GS2 respectively.
Whereas HTC actually made reference cutting edge phones with the nexus.
I personally want to see either HTC, Moto, or ASUS take on the next nexus phone.
Motorola, Sony, or HTC.

Hm, I'd prefer multiple Nexii from different manufacturers, for a simple reason: there needs to be more competition as far as the Nexus is concerned, or the sole partner will just slack off.
Plus, this might encourage more stock android, and that's only a good thing.
Sony from looks I jst love the new design of the Xperia S and Xperia P. But I would prefer HTC from the phone's heart.
My vote goes to motorola, in hopes that google might do something awesome with it. If not, HTC all the way.
HTC I never cared for the last few nexus phones no sd card on the galaxy nexus is a deal breaker for a lot of people also they should release it for all there carriers at once I think me next phone will be the nexus if they get it right
Hi boys, and girls
As my 2 year contract on my carrier, is getting to the finish line, i want to get something new. (I will keep my small litle muscle phone O1 as a second phone )
At the first i wanted the galaxy nexus, because of the great software support, and the developement, in our xda forum.
Then suddenly i saw the new Optimus 4x, but, there is one but. There is no developement in here, because of locked bootloader
I really don`t know what to take. Thought about the Xperia S, but nope.
The phones what i need to choose from , are - 1. Galaxy nexus
2. Optimus 4x
Maybe Acro S ?
Maybe some other suggestions?
Maybe the new LG Nexus? It'll be $399 on Google Store unsubsidized according to rumors.

Yeah, but it will not be available in my country for a while.
seeing how often google release OS.
I will stick to nexus device for fastest OS update
I love my Google experience device motorola xoom running AOSP jelly bean
Yeah. I think I'd go for the new nexus phone. Just wait for a lil while
I think getting a new LG phone is a waste, Anything other than a galaxy nexus is.
The new android OS? Availably from day 1.
Every app is tested on that first, which means closer to no bugs.
I think that i will take Galaxy Nexus. Just because of software support, developement. The performance is also o.k No need for 4 cores.

When you say best wouldn't that be a matter of opinion? I've been enjoying my Nexus S 4G quiet a bit and I've tried a lot of the newer phones (S3, Galaxy Nexus, etc...) But keep coming back to my NS4G as for tablet no clue but the Nexus 10 looks awesome x)

Opinion?
As it was asked earlier, This sound like an opinion question. But I do like facts and more information before recommending a device. However as far as overall "Android" device, I would say that is the Nexus line because of the heritage and Options/Customization.
if you talk about customization and numbers of roms made for it HTC HD2 and SGS-1 are best.
I think best tablet spec wise is the Nexus 10. The best phone is a dual between Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
My Nexus 10 is cooler than yours.

Yea I have to agree, the note 2 is pretty amazing.
I know these threads drive people nuts. I'm a phone junky. Over the last 2 years I've had at least 4 phones. Although i've had my HTC One since launch day - coming up on one year.
I hate skins on android. That's why I root and install an AOSP based ROM on my devices. I also like battery life and A2DP Bluetooth streaming.
So...anyone out there think the nexus is a worthwhile upgrade?. I'm already running KitKat. Software is no advantage the Nexus has. However... Is the Nexus a worthy upgrade? I have read that battery life was disappointing at launch. Is it still bad? What does the N5 offer over my One?

I had the One before the N5. Nothing wrong with the One, but honestly the only thing I miss is the speakers. I personally like the bigger screen, and I'm getting better battery life now. Overall better experience, imo.

My 2 cents give the nexus the skip.
i had the htc one and the gs4.. sold my htc one to get the gs4.. then sold my gs4 to get the nexus 5.. i think the n5 is way better the both the gs4 and one.. thats just me.. this is my first nexus phone i love it.. i been threw like 6 top of the line phone in the past 3 yaers.. htc evo 4g.. htc evo 3d.. htc evo 4g LTE.. GS3. HTC ONE.. GS4... Nexus 5 is my fev phone out of all of them
I went from the GS4 to the N5 and haven't regretted it for a second. Out of 12 phones that I've owned over the last 3-4 years, this is easily the best one.
Get the N5 and keep the One.

So comparatively...battery life is on par?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Let me tell you a story:
Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted an awesome new android phone. He decided to buy an HTC amaze as that was probably the best phone on the market at the time. He got it 1 month after the phone came out on the market and it was awesome. He enjoyed using it for 9 mos. before HTC decided to stop supporting their FLAGSHIP phone! Alas that phone was relegated to ICS forever.
Then, his girlfriend wanted a new phone and he thought, well, maybe it was just my bad luck to buy the HTC amaze right before HTC decided to realign their phone offerings. The HTC One S looks very good and it has the latest snapdragon S4 chip in it. So he bought her that phone and 9 mos later, HTC announces no more updates after android 4.1.2!
Moral of the story: stick with HTC one if you want an obsolete android OS in 1 year.

Battery life is as good or better. I still have my One and mainly use it to play music, but the Nexus outperforms it in every way and also seems to have a better antenna than the One. Plus, the Nexus has ART which I know is not supported on the HTC One because of Sense.
It's a very worthy upgrade. I do miss the speakers, Aux Sound Output, and sometimes a few 'Sense' things like BlinkFeed and the features in the stock messaging app.
I was in the same Situation like you and i dont regret getting the n5 at all. I had the GpE of the one and still the n5 beats it by a longshot. Speakers and build quality aside the n5 wins everything

I get the sound will not be on par with my One...the boom speakers are great.

I had the HTC One before the Nexus 5 as well,and I love the Nexus. The One is a great phone, but the One has 1) A faster chipset 2) bigger screen 3) STOCK Android (yay!!!)
However, if you're satisfied with your One.. just keep it. Unless you're dead set on having stock Android. The One does have some nice features, like the speakers (yes, stereo speakers) and very good build quality, compared to the Nexus 5 at least, which doesn't seem to fit together perfectly like the One.
As for battery life, I would say it's about equal. They both have the same size battery.

Good luck getting a 90% working ROM for the phone once htc stops supporting it. The Amaze and One S ROMs all have major things broken on it, whether it is Bluetooth or camera or something else not working or not working correctly. So I would say software for HTC phones are important.

The HTC One does have the benefit of being a GE supported device. Can't predict how that'll play out yet. Besides that, you statement is accurate. I came from ATT with and Atrix4g... the hardware is still great. But zero software support from the OEM and all the ROMs available aren't DD material for someone that uses their phone as part of business.
Hence the move to my HTC One on Sprint/Ting... Just to find out that I should have bought a cheap used nexus s and waited for a N5. :/
The way that I understand the GPE phones work is that Google releases the operating system to HTC and then they optimize it to work with their phone before they push out an update. So updates still have to pass through HTC. If they decide to end support for the one, I doubt they'll continue supporting the GPE phone.

That's just it. Even though the UI of the GPE One is all Google, it actually uses the stock Sense kernel. Once HTC stops updating the phone, it stops for the Google Edition as well.
Okay people. I'm closing in on a whole week with the n5. After being mugged for my htc one. The change to nexus was a bit sad. On paper the htc one is better in many ways. But in reality. I'm happier now. Here is why
Community
The nexus 5 is being show a lot of support. That alone s enough to take all the pain of getting ripped off away.
Clean slate.
The nexus 5 is nearly free of bulk. Its the pefect device to mod. Just unlock the boot loader. No Odin. No s off. No tegra recovery flashers.
But the most un talked about reason. Its not an android. Its the android. Directly from the mothership. Its like having the Jordan's that Jordan actually used! Not just ones designed for his fans. Its the tobacco from the Indians themselves!. Pizza from Italy!. An actual Mexican taco!. 1970s muscle!. Not today's! Its.. its.. Its Nexus 5!!!...
... That's as lame as it gets people. Thanx for all the help

ooh dunno about that boss - I think the htc one is far better with the stock rom. I had my nexus 5 for 3 days and got rid. issues I had were the battery been ****, hated the way it left smudgy fingerprints on the screen unlike the htc and the camera was terrible.
now granted I had one of the very first ones and I think the camera issue has been improved but build quality wise the htc feels better in my opinion
