U should opt for Nexus 5 as the developer support for this phone is mind blowing... And, You get to taste almost all the flavours of Android...

I would take the nexus 5 over the g2. This seems like the longest ongoing argument in the Nexus 5 forums. There is a thread "g2 v nexus 5 I have both" but I stopped looking at it after like the second page because it was a useless thread that just makes you go what the hell. Nexus 5 will have the most support unless you are just going to buy it and slap CM on it. I think the g2 has a better speaker for listening to music but the Nexus 5 is easily fixed with a flash of a zip here and there. Camera wise I do not know. Remember nexus 5 is unlocked and is easystreet to root and unlock the bootloader. Make sure the g2 isn't carrier subsidized because it's a little more difficult to get through those phones, still can be done just not as easy as n5. :good:

Hi mate,
If you stick to Wifi and mobile data the whole day, 6-7 hours backup you will get :-|
Else with minimum usage of everything, it gives you a day backup
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I would definitely take the N5! I come from a LG G2 myself, but it just wasn't doing it for me.
The Nexus 5 just seems so much more professionally made - both hardware and software wise (mostly due to the lag of LG UI). It feels so much better in the hand.
I too was scared that I would be disappointed by the smaller battery in the N5, but I took the step because everything else would be so much better.
AND I LOVE MY NEXUS 5! I don't regret it one bit!
Luckily the battery didn't disappoint me at all. As you can see in another post of mine, it actually performs almost as well as the G2! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49901859&postcount=1822

6-7 hours backup? I just went over 3 days on a charge. Granted it wasn't heavy usage, but I'd say 3.5+ hours screen time over 3 days is pretty great. 100% stock unrooted mobile data on the whole time.

Are you getting that much amount of battery back up on your Wifi??

I actually don't use WiFi as I have unlimited data. In the past I found WiFi to cause more of a battery drain in standby, but most people will say WiFi uses less battery. I usually charge every 2 days with about 4 hours screen time.
Everyones use varies though, if you look in the battery life threads you'll find all kinds of different results. Some considerably better than mine, others much worse.

I get great battery even on WiFi. 3% battery loss all night.
Bare in mind I still had 1/3 of battery left at these screenshots. So based on them numbers I can get 2 full days at least with at least 6 hours of screen time.
This was at home pretty much all the time constantly connected to WiFi.

If you're going to have it for 3-4 years, it should definitely be a nexus 5.
The ease of development on this device will allow smooth upgrades even after google drops support after its 18 month cycle.
Look at this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...s-android-4-4-and-joins-its-younger-brothers/
This is a 4 year old device now. It runs kitkat, and personally as I've modified a friends nexus one to run this, it runs pretty decently enough.
Nexus man.
edit: already answered
I don't understand why the Nexus 5 speakers are always called into question in threads like these. Am I the only one who thinks the stock speaker settings are just fine and are capable of reaching volumes high enough for me to never use?

What happens at the battery's end of life, how easy or hard will it be to replace and how much will it be likely to cost.
Its my only concern, i am really considering this phone but I think its important to know especially as upgrades don't come to often.

I imagine if it gives you issues under the first year it'll be covered under warranty. After that who knows. But iPhones hardly have any problems so I imagine this shouldn't either.

I would say yes, who knows what your screen brightness was at even though I am sure it was probably at auto. Talking on the phone can drain a lot of battery.
Why note 3 to nexus 5, seems odd?
Well you did talk on the phone for a while. But Google Search is draining the battery more than it should. I would just reboot and do another full charge. Google Search was draining my Nexus 7 the other day and the reboot/recharge seemed to have fixed it. For now anyway. Android OS/Google Search seems to be a recurring bug. Unless of course you were using google now a lot, in which case it would probably be normal.

Tapatalk Team SlimRoms
Well, don't discuss the battery It's good enough for many but not for everyone. I'll plan to use a recharge pack if I need more battery power. Most of the times I have a bag or something else with me so that I can put a recharger pack into it for the case I run out of battery.
Sure, a better internal battery is better, but I can live with that.
Greenify is a great tool to have so that you can have a broad selection of apps on your device without worrying about it weighing down the OS in bloat. Lots of apps unnecessarily start in the background or ask to be notified on state changes or when the device is unlocked, which can lead to sluggishness and/or battery life degradation. For example my banking app does this, and I never need my banking app to run unless I explicitly press on that damn icon. But I don't want to get rid of my banking app due to it's bad behavior, because it's truly a useful app. That is where greenify shines.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I have a few apps that definitely will hurt the battery if left running...so greenify let's me still have those apps and not worry about them impacting my battery. To me greenify is on my must have list. ?
And to backup another's post, yes...the N5 CAN have battery life that rivals other great battery life phones. I get over 24 hours with 6 plus hours screen time easily. But...its all about how you set up your phone...and how you use it. "Average" battery times are hard to compare, since we all are setup different and do different things with our phones.
But yes, battery life CAN be brilliant.... Or it can be average.

One thing that seems consistent is that the G Flex 2, with 3GB of Ram doesnt lag, or its nowhere near as bad as it is on the 2GB versions.
Can anyone with a AT&T LG G Flex 2 confirm this?
Everyone that has been complaining about the lag are from all over the world & I know a lot of the European carriers got the 2GB of RAM version for whatever stupid reason. I really want to get this phone & sell of my iPhone 6+, if anyone has a decent answer & is using this phone on AT&T (or even in the US, since i know sprint has it), do you still experience terrible lag?

Everyone that has been complaining about the lag are from all over the world & I know a lot of the European carriers got the 2GB of RAM version for whatever stupid reason. I really want to get this phone & sell of my iPhone 6+, if anyone has a decent answer & is using this phone on AT&T (or even in the US, since i know sprint has it), do you still experience terrible lag? Thanks!

Confirmed att variant and no lag. Even when I play graphic intensive games and it gets a little warm no lag.

I have the AT&T version and it has no lag. In Fact it's actually insanely fast and it multitasks really well. I'm surprised at how many apps can stay open in the background and I can still go back to them without having them to reload. One time I played minecraft with my kid and the next day he was able to log back into my minecraft server without me having to open minecraft because it was still running in the background from the previous day. I have an ipad air and it refuses to run minecraft in the background. Actually I can't think of much other than music that it'll keep running in background. But overall I have no complaints with the performance on this phone.
Awesome thanks you guys! This is good to know. Display models in stores are kind of hard to tell because they usually have every single piece of bloat ware running in the background & it's hard to get a true feel for what it's like In day to day use unless you freeze/force close all the apps.
How is battery life for you guys? It's not that big a deal to me if the phone doesn't last 2 days. As long as it can make it from beginning of the day until the end under light use I'm fine with that. Also I'm not one of those people who constantly leaves GPS & sync on (only when I need it)
When using xda or light Web browsing it drains at 6 to 12% per hour. When doing lots of heavy Web browsing and using multiple apps at once it can drain up to 25% per hour. While watching videos about 13% per hour and while sleeping I see 1.5 to 3% per hour.
Hello. H955 user here .
I can confirm that I dont have any lag, even when playing high graphics games. everything runs great, I have 54000 in Antutu and 22000 in 3d mark Ice Storm Unlimited. Actually, in Ice Storm Extreme, almost everythin is maxed out, which is just..Well great ! Would like to get the 3gb version though, but i cant seem to find any in my country. Battery lasts for one day, with couple of maches played in WOT. The only thing that annoys me sometimes is yellow stains on screen that can be seen only in grey backgroud, but that is it..Other than that, hopefully a 5.1 update will come soon and we can pump up more juice from our devices )

It certainly isn't as good as the first g flex but I get around 20 hours of battery life between charges. Everyone's life will depend on signal strength, apps syncing , Bluetooth etc. The battery life for me is the same as the nexus 6.

Wow that's really bad. During sleep I get around 20 to 22 hours. On average I've been getting 5 to 5.5 hours of on screen time.

Wow that's pretty nice. I don't think I ever broke 3 but I don't have WiFi and my watch is connected through bluetooth

My results are with WIFI and Bluetooth off. I also use the app Greenify to hibernate apps I don't want running in the background.
