Hello. I have an opportunity to take a 32gb model N5 or G2 for the same price. I need to know, which one will be better for the day use for my cases:
1) much phone calls (GSM + SIP calls)
2) music
3) e-reading
4) foto
5) web serfing.
Thank you.
P.S. I hope, people who will recommend me one or another phone, had the opportunity to test both devices.
If I were to get a phone right now it would be the note 3, but if you don't like the note 3 I suggest get a dumb phone and wait for the new phones to come out (2014) however if I was given the chance to pick a g2 or Nexus 5 if you are into flashing ROMs and development go with the Nexus 5, LG G 2 will seize development sooner or later however the lg g2 does have better specs it depends on preference.

Hello. I want to buy one of these phones. Whitch should i buy? I wont use LTE, because my carrier doesn't support it. I dont really care about camera and I will be using spotify for music so I dont care about internal storage. But the most interesting thing is that Optimus G is cheaper than Nexus 4 in my country. So whitch should I buy?

They seem to be mostly the same: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5048&idPhone2=4941
I'd go for the Nexus (if it's not that much more expensive), as it will surely get the next few updates.
whitch phone has better music quality?
Well the the Optimus G and Nexus 4 are basically the same phone internally except for a few things such as LTE ad a external sdcard. If you looking at how long your phone would be supported according to updates I would go for the Nexus 4 but if money is tight then go for Optimus G as it is literally the same phone. Overall if money isn't a problem then go with the Nexus 4 it is a good investment as you will be able to enjoy many iterations of android on it.

"The Google Nexus 4 audio output is virtually identical to that of the LG Optimus G. Hardly shocking, given that most of the circuitry inside is identical, but still pretty good news."
-GSMArena review
You can find it here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_4-review-860p8.php
I linked to the page with music quality tests.
The Optimus G spec sheet states that it includes "Dolby mobile sound enhancement", whereas the Nexus 4 doesn't. It might be more of a marketing term, though.
But I know how to install custom rom (I've done it hundreds of times with my atrix), so I can have latest android in optimus G too. I saw there is few stable roms for optimus G. So maybe thats the reason i should buy optimus G?
If you're into flashing - ROMs, that is - and the OG is cheaper, why not go with the OG? It's virtually identical to the N4, but has 32GB internal storage - there is no external SD card option.
I personally prefer the design of the N4, as it's more rounded and comfortable to hold than the OG. Also, I like knowing that I'll be getting updates straight from Google.
They're both great phones. Can't go wrong with either one.

I would personally suggest the nexus 4
I'd go with the Nexus 4, all of the other Nexus devices have been awesome.
N4
But i have 8GB of music, and i want to play some good games...
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.

I do. Miss my g2

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...
Nexus 5 (Black, 32GB)
Rom: Purity (11/20)
Kernel: Franco r14
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

A lot of people I am sure. Have you seen some peoples signatures on here? They get a new phone like every 6 months and even buying used.... good lord. Having the htc one and the s4 at the same time while using a nexus 5 on the off days.

N5 over G2 anyday, anytime. No regrets.
unless you get the S4 from Google play its almost worthless from any provider. AT&T version sucks

Have you seen where they put the buttons on the G2?
Nope just for that reason, not even considering the others...
i was on the n5 and got a deal for on a g2 which i went for. less than a week later i sold it and got an N5 again. IMO screen, camera and battery were nicer on the G2, but even that couldnt make up for the horrible LG UI. ugly and slow.

Hello,
Currently I have HTC One X 32GB which I like but had it for almost two years now.
I am thinking of buying a new phone and my first choice would be Nexus 5.
However I am concerned about the Nexus 5 camera as the Nexus 4 didn't have
an outstanding one. How would the camera compare to One X
camera and generally to the whole phone?
Would you suggest me to buy Nexus 5?
Regards,
tomic888

Like Jime1 said, If you want to buy a phone that has a good camera go for the Sony Xperia series ~21 MP (Z1).
The nexus 5 is more like a standard all-days phone, has everything average.
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.

It will probably have 5.2 inch screen
So I have recently cracked my Galaxy S3 screen and I am thinking of a new device. Nexus 6 or G4 ?
Pros Nexus 6
Stock Android
Latest and great version
Timely updates
Great Support though the rooting community
The amount of radio bands on the device
Pros G4
Removable Battery
Micro SD card support
Display
camera
What do you guys think should I wait till the announcement of the g4 or just get a nexus ?
Depends what you prefer. G4 will be more of a "beast" than the Nexus
