In my country they have same price. So which one would be a better choice? I love stock android, but the specs confuse me. I am planning to use the phone about 3-4 years.
Thanks.

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

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.

@95Z28,
Are you getting that much amount of battery back up on your Wifi??
Because I'm using stock too and getting one day battery backup on usage of Wifi + mobile data :-|
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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.

I'd pick the Nexus 5 if you either like to flash new stuff or want a phone that is updated for longer. If pure speed is your thing, I saw a comparison and the G2 was clearly faster.

By remote control are you meaning like vnc/remote desktop. If so that is a major killer on battery life.
Don't know why but every android device I have used with remote desktop seems to make it run at full throttle, get really warm then kill the battery.

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?
Am I the only one who's S6 64gb lags?
The lags can be quite noticable (often at least a second) for doing tasks that I think this phone should easily be able to cope with - switching between apps, and typing using SwiftKey.
The problem seems to be resolved, at least temporary, after a reboot.
Any one else with similar issues?

i have the device for 2 weeks and no lag....so far so good....
I have the 32. Haven't noticed any lags. I do keep the recent apps list mostly clear...not sure if that make a difference though.
SwiftKey does occasionally lag.
I was real excited to get the s6 on Verizon. I ordered it last night but now I'm undecided and feel like I should cancel it because I keep reading on here that the battery drains like mad for no reason. I have the HTC one m7 right now and the battery sucks. What do you guys think? I don't have much time to cancel. I've also read some stuff about how calls drop bcuz something is different now. Like you can't use data and talk on the phone with the same time unless you're on lte.

Well, they already sent out my order do it should be getting here tomorrow. Now I just hope 32 gb is enough. I tend to not keep a lot of stuff on my phone so in sure it will be fine..
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Not sure why you've heard such things. Battery life is fine. If you see you start getting some strange drain, a restart fixes it. Only happens to me once every couple days. 5.1 will fix it for good. Also, I've had no issues with calls dropping so I'm not sure where you heard that.
As for data while on a call, that's VoLTE (voice over LTE) or HD Voice as Verizon calls it. If you're moving and are connected to a tower, but swap to a different tower that doesn't support it (very rare) the call will drop. If you're talking to someone while being stationary, you'll never have an issue. You can turn off HD Voice, but you won't be able to use data while on a call.

If storage becomes a issue there are quite a few options for a USB drive for the phone. I Googled "usb drive for phone" and came up with a ton of options. I usually use WIFI file transfer Pro to transfer files to and from my PC.

Maybe because people don't want to carry another item around, plug it in and out, having an ugly thing plugged into this beautiful device.

Do you want to carry around a USB OTG cable and flash drive or memory card everywhere you go, having to plug it in and out when wanting to access data on it?
I have had fine battery life. I also was worried so i bought one of the samsung wireless charges to sit on my desk. My phone - for the most part - sits on my desk anyway during the day. However i find myself rarely putting phone on there as there is no need. My phone easily lasts all day with normal use.
So I got the phone today and I'm in love. The build on mine is absolutely perfect. Everything is lined up perfect. No weird pink or yellow tint on the screen. I couldn't find a single scratch anywhere on the phone which was impossible to find with the HTC one. I literally looked at 6 htc ones at the Verizon store and they all had some scratch or something on the body of the phone. I can't believe how fast this phone is and I'm at 2 hours on screen time and I'm still at 60 percent battery. Does that seem pretty good? Only on first charge ever too. Been on wifi the whole time and I disabled lots of bloat ware.

So I have been reading through some of the Q&A posts here & I have read several conflicting reports of the G Flex 2 & the lag issue.
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? Thanks!

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.

Mine runs pretty smooth except snapchat. Sometimes it's laggy when I opened it, sometimes it wont load. But i think it's just the new updated of the app. It happens on my other phone too. Although I gotta say the 3GB does make it a bit slow under heavy load. It would take a few seconds to load up.
Can anyone else confirm lag or lack of on their F8332? I just ordered one because of the extra on-board storage but wondering if I should cancel my order and just buy a local model..
