Today I saw in a local store (in Italy) that tomorrow they'll have a sale on Google/Samsung Nexus S, at €280 (unlocked), it is worth the price or it's already an old device?
Currently I have an HTC HD2 with Android NAND rom, which is working fine for me...
why not get the new Galaxy Nexus instead of the old Nexus S ?

I'm not mcbyte_it, but my guess would be because the Galaxy Nexus will be twice the price?
@mcbyte_it: I'd say go for it. If you're on a limited budget, the Nexus S is a great choice. I wanted one when I was buying a phone about six months ago, but back then it was out of my price range.

Gusar321 answered it: newest euper-hitech phones are always above €500 (iphone 4 unlocked €550, Galaxy S II €599, HTC Evo 3D €599), I got my HD2 used for €350

I'll read reviews about it, as I like the possibility to change firmwares and do more than what it offers by default.....
Yes, I would go for it. ICS is guaranteed for Nexus S.

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
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.

LG G2 has the bettery battery, better build quality
Nexus 5 has the specs Mediocre build quality
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.

Hi,
So my Nexus 4 died after 2.5 years, and I would like to have another phone.
So which phone does have/support the most (Custom) ROMs?
And is 2014+ younger.
Thanks.

You're*
Nexus 5 was introduced in Nov 2013, but is well worth considering, especially since many 2014 phones used the same hardware. It'll have as many ROMs, probably even more, than your old Nexus 4. If you want newer, the OnePlus One is basically a Nexus 5.5, and then of course there's the Nexus 6. The LG G3 has a lot of development too. Of all these the OnePlus One will be the best if you want a great phone that has lots of development and long battery life and doesn't cost a lot. Nexus 5 if you want something smaller and/or cheaper.
