The nexus 5 is a marvel in itself but still there is a HUGE hype about the nexus 6 .......so I'm debating whether I should just buy the N5 or wait a couple of months for the N6 ...any creative/helpful thought?

Hi Guys,
Need your advice, my orginal Note is having issues amd I think its time to let it go.
but I am confused abt the replacement device.
I prefer to stick with Android due to customizations and flexibility it offers.
Nexus 5 :
Pros:
Price = 400 USD
GOOGLE device so updates always available
Cons:
Non removable Battery.
No expandabable memory
Screen small as compared to Note 3.
Samsung Note 3:
Pros:
Better Camera
Big screen size
S Pen and Suite
Removable Battery.
Expandabable memory
Cons:
Double the Price of nexus 5 : USD 800
and after the issues I had with Original Note, I am sort of scared of Note 3.
Android updates always delayed
I suggest the Nexus 5.
"Size isnt everything."
I suggest Note 3, S-Pen, bigger screen...

They're both good, but in my opinion The note 3 is a bit overpriced like all Samsung phones.
The nexus 5 is a all days phone, good specs and Cheap for a nowadays phone (E.G Iphone 5S ~$800 Samsung GS4 ~$600 LG G2 ~$600)
The note 3 is a little bit overpriced in my opinion though since the specs are not that better than the nexus 5, The only thing that it has is Expandable memory and Better camera.
No competition.. go for the nexus 5..the screen is brilliant.. awesome gaming performance.. and yes.. you will have both official and unofficial ROM support for the next 3 years atleast.
Note 3, because it's a more common and premium device, you would get a lot of options on custom roms compared to nexus 5..
Though, I would say nexus is a great phone too. And the Roms availability is not bad for nexus !
Ofcourse, Nexus.. brilliant performance.. brilliant screen..
You will not have to wait for updates.. for so long & almost half price of note 3..

This is obviously not true, The nexus series has got much more option on C-Roms than the Note 3, since the Nexus Has always the first android , That means the Source code of the nexus 5 becomes earlier available than the Note 3 Code, Which means that the Developers has more time to create a Rom.
Even when you compare the Development Section of the Nexus 5 and the note 3, The nexus 5 has lot more Roms
note 3
I prefer note 3,,,,,,
Im in the same boat.
Gs3 is flakin out on me so im gonna upgrade. I just bought the note 8 about a month ago on the next plan. Having serious buyers remorse now because I would have picked up the Note 3. Im on the fence on either the nexus 5 or the note 3. I love the note 8, being an artist its a great tool but I like the idea of saving the money choosing the nexus . Im also considering the Moto G for price and using it as a phone and using my note 8 as a tab.
Any thoughts?
I was hoping for a 5,2 inch Nexus 6, but since that didn't happen I'm looking at a Nexus 5. Is it still a good phone? The 32gb version is about $480 from the playstore where I'm at. My HTC One Mini started to feel old 6 months ago.
I just asked that in the big thread. It seems so, but in the UK the 32GB version is out of stock on the play store so I might do an eBay job.
The store itself doesn't matter to me, but I want the 32gb and it's harder to get outside the playstore in Sweden.
I just got mine 3 days back. I had been using a Xperia Z, Galaxy S4 before. Though the S4 takes marginally better pictures than N5, the software and responsiveness and the developer support on the N5 is just incredible. This was one of the main reasons for me to get the N5.
Yeah it is still worth it, the camera is just fine as it is (still deliver high quality of picture) and i can do 4-5 hours SOT on battery.
You have to consider the fact that, nexus 5 is not only a 2013 phone but more like 2014 phone because most 2014 android flagships has the same snapdragon 801 cpu architecture as 800 cpu, other than just a mior changes added in 801.
Nexus 5 is a future proof phone, will last for many years to come

The thing I liked about my Nexus 4 was the feeling that someone actually cared about my experience, and really wanted to improve it for me. I've never had that with any other phone.
Just ordered a 32gb Nexus 5, looking forward to Android L-based PA. Oh, the sexiness.
Good choice.. I would suggest you unlock your boot loader, root your Nexus, flash the dalvic and bionic mods, camcorder fix and your good to go!
Rock solid if you prefer its spec's!
Of course its still a solid buy. It is off contract for $349 USD, you cannot beat that given hardware and software.
I see T-Mobile has pre-owned note 5s in stock. Worth buying a 2 year old phone? I know they may release a note 8, but may cost 800+. Note 5 is 400 at T-Mobile.
I always felt the note 5 I had a while ago was more fluid then my s7.

Hey, the power button on my Nexus 5 broke and i was able to fix it for a week but i can't get it to work so i'm going to buy a new Phone and because i don't have any Idea what would be better or equally good as the Nexus 5 ( i really liked it ) i wanted to ask you!
I'm mostly using the phone for Twitch/reddit/YouTube/Messaging/some Games so a screen of 5"+ and good battery life would be great!
Hello I suggest the LG G6 or the OnePlus 5T.
I ordered a OnePlus 5T (€499) today as successor of my Nexus 5. My Nexus 5 was aging so it was time to move on but I will still keep it as my backup phone.
If you are looking for a cheaper phone and still want stock android and a good working phone for the things you do I think the Xiaomi Mi A1 or the HTC U11 Life (Android One version) will be a good choice.
Hi, i compared both phones. While the 6p got better components (gpu,cpu), the note 4 is better in graphics. How is that possible and is there a way to push the 6p or is it senseless while the 6p gets faster hot? The Note 4 is even a year older i dont get it.
