Is the Nexus 5 a good phone for the price, or does it exit better phones with the same budget?
Thanks for all answers

Companies don't come into the picture wrt the massive developer base that's rests with the Nexus line. It's because it's a phone for the developers!

I meant that the Nexus line is uniquely positioned by Google as a developer friendly phone. Which gets all the latest software and sources etc.

Don't feed him.....he'll never change his views. ?
Many devices have plenty of development.....but no, nothing has the speedy updates and a development community as big as the Nexus. (Particularly when they are new) ?

Just wait about a month they will reduce the price of the Nexus 5 when they're about to release the nexus 6. You guys are giving poor OP horrible advice.
OP wait a month. N5 isn't worth full price.

What he said. If you want the newest device, wait a month for it to be released. If you want the Nexus 5, wait a month for the price to go down. It'd be silly to buy last year's model at full price today when you can get it a month from now at a substantially reduced price.
All in all, still a very good phone. But will be a better deal after the N6 release and the "expected" price drop.

No one can guarantee there will be a price drop. And if there was as with the N4, didn't the stock dry up within a couple days? Not exactly something to set your schedule for IMO.

If you forgot: http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/27/4665960/google-drops-nexus-4-price-now-starts-at-199
Can anyone see a similar style price drop or do you think Google will milk this until the day of the new one coming out?
Anything any of us say about this would be mere conjecture and any resemblance to the future truth would be pure coincidence. Any answer to this question is pointless.

So I have a few days left to return my moto x and have some questions for you guys. How is battery? I've seen it take hits from different sites. I average about 3-31/2 hrs screen on time with my X. How is the camera? Any input is helpful. Thanks.

I love my nexus 5 ! I would not trade any phone even for the new s5 that's going to come out. The development is amazing and the devs are very knowledgeable. As for the battery I get about 3-4 hour screen time. I usually take it out it the charger around 7am and it lasts me till 10 pm with medium to heavy use. The camera is also good I believe there was a comparison between the Nexus 5 and the Samsung S4http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-6AszlQIIs. I have never owned a moto x so I really can't tell you if the camera is better.

Man, there are a ton of these Moto X vs. N5 threads, please search before posting next time. But if you want my opinion, I have both and I prefer the Moto X. I do love the N5, I just like the Moto X a little better. Check my posts in this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642626
I also have both, haven't touched my X since getting my N5. To each his own

I want moto x but nexus 5 is better.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I have both in possession. Which is better?
The only thing that makes the X better is ergonomic design, the customization, always listening feature, Active display and the screen is better in most ways(IMO).
The nexus 5 wins in all the other departments, even the battery. If you do get an NX5 unlock the bootloader as soon as it's out of the box. Huge pay off

I meant to post this here in this thread
I don't have this phone yet, but I will be getting it in the mail Monday. I am coming from a Moto X, which is a great device. I love the phone overall. But two gripes I have is the development for the phone and the fact that it's "wannabe stock"
I want the N5 because of the ROM support. Its outstanding. I'm used to the Note 2, S4, HTC One, and when you have Roms on there, there's not a major difference. The AOSP Roms are always buggy. With the N5, your going to have a phone that was made to he tinkered with. Most apps that are made to replace something (lockscreens, launchers, etc) were made for fitting a stock android (N5) experience.
I am excited about this phone because its been a while since I've rooted a phone. Its an addiction that has been cured with VZWs S4 and HTC One, but The relapse is far more exciting then sticking with stuff almost out of the box

I used to flash a lot on my previous devices, but this phone is so awesome on stock rooted with Xposed, I haven't yet felt like trying any other roms.
Hi folks I am considering buying a nexus 5. Currently have a moto X and I'm happy with it. However I missed the stock Android and Nexus experience. They're all kinds of pros and cons with this phone as you all know. I guess after all this time, do you think the phone is still worth purchasing? Main reason being is the next Nexus is a matter of months away. What would you owners say? Thanks.

As Midnight_Rider Put It... In A Matter Of 6 Months... I Just Used My Jump Upgrade and Went From A HTC One M7 > Note 3 > iPhone 5s Gold (Worst Decision I Ever Made In The Handset Division... The IPad Is Cool But Not The Phone) and Now I Have The Nexus 5...
As Stated Before... Best Decision I Ever Made In The Mobile World In A While. I've Had the Nexus One & the Galaxy Nexus... Minus the Nexus S As I Wasn't On Sucky Sprint But Now That I Have the Nexus 5... I Can Clearly Admit That I'm Thrilled To Be Back To Pure Google, Unlocked, Unrestricted and On the Un-Carrier and the Nexus World.
I Said the Same Thing... As the Next Nexus Is Due By December and The G3 Is Right Around the Corner But Seriously... Its A No Brainer... I Wish the Best To You Young Padawon On Your Choices... Choose Wisely lol ?

I am planning to buy a new android phone and shortlisted Nexus 5 and Xperia ZR. I think Nexus 5 would be a better choice because of its large development support but question in my mind is "Is it worth waiting for Nexus 6?". There is no fixed date for Nexus 6 but hopefully it will be announced in Q4 of this year. Please suggest, should i buy nexus 5 or wait for nexus 6? Is it worth waiting for?
From my research cons of nexus 5 that i don't want to get with are: Battery life and Camera. And both of these might get upgraded in Nexus 6.
Thanks in advance.
We don't even know if there will be a 6. The rumour mill says not. Its an impossible question

Google confirmed that the nexus program isn't going anywhere. There probably will be a successor to the nexus 5,it would only make sense since android L supports 64 bit, maybe even put more than 3gb. Who knows, it's all speculation

I had the OPO for two months before selling it. It's a nice device but CM does not = Nexus.
There were too many little issues that I couldn't deal with. I sold it and went back to my N5. The only thing I miss is the battery life and it seems like the Nexus 6 with its 3200 mAh battery will solve that problem.
My answer? Nexus 6
