[Q] Anyone regrer choosing nexus 5 over LG G2?

Just wondering since I am looking to trade my lg g2. Just want to get some feedback from actual owners.

The battery in the G2 is nice, but that's about it. Performance is similar and the camera in the G2 is probably better, but I only use my phone to snap quick pics, not as an SLR so I can't really tell.

nope, the G2 is nice, but it's not really an upgrade... at least not in my opinion.

I think it's a what you intend to do with it
I'm a n00b and got the N5 to start learning how to modify Android phones. A buddy of mine got the G2 and loves it but doesn't want to mess with it. I haven't checked any of the G2 forums so I'm not sure how easy it is to modify.

In my opinion the sound quality is bad. I have the g2, s4 and the nexus 5 right here on the table and the G2 and s4 are better. The only thing I like about the nexus is the price and it feels better in my hands. The battery isn't to bad but it's not good either. The people who say the battery is better then the s4 are lying lol but its not bad tho. My G2 is my daily driver now

No regrets since the G2 comes at about $200 more without a contract. and if you want it cheap you have to get a contract...its a lose lose
althought I only have about 6 more months on my AT&T 2yr contract and I thought about upgrading to the G2 to keep my unlimited data and contract...

Ordered the Nexus 5 the day it came out, used it for a week and then got an LG G2 given to me as part of my job, used it for 24 hours and was then back to my Nexus, only thing nice about the G2 was the battery life & now it just sits collecting dust until it gets sold. Nexus 5 > G2

A lot of people I am sure. Have you seen some peoples signatures on here? They get a new phone like every 6 months and even buying used.... good lord. Having the htc one and the s4 at the same time while using a nexus 5 on the off days.

N5 over G2 anyday, anytime. No regrets.

unless you get the S4 from Google play its almost worthless from any provider. AT&T version sucks

Have you seen where they put the buttons on the G2?
Nope just for that reason, not even considering the others...

i was on the n5 and got a deal for on a g2 which i went for. less than a week later i sold it and got an N5 again. IMO screen, camera and battery were nicer on the G2, but even that couldnt make up for the horrible LG UI. ugly and slow.

Nexus 5 or other phone?

Hey,
I'm going to buy a new phone at the end of the month and I've always thought the nexus 5 looks great and appears to be great in performance.
But it's been a while since it has gotten released and I wonder if I should still buy it.
Are there other phones which are well built and have great performance, ofcourse in the same price range.
Currently I can buy the Nexus 5 for €360, seems like there's no other phone that can match this price with it's performance.
So my question is should I buy it, or get another flagship?

This thread will probably be closed really soon. You're asking in the Nexus 5 section, we've already made our decision and bought one. You ask here, most will automatically recommend the Nexus 5. You ask in the LG G3 section, for example, and they'll recommend the LG G3. Same goes for any other device section if you were to ask.
Make your own decision.

@OP: The only better phone that I see in the price range for you is the one plus one. But you need an invite to get one so it's a pain to get one. If I were you, I'd put in more money & buy an m8 (I don't give a damn about the camera).. Probably a GPE m8.

Try it! Resell if u don't like it! But most do like it!

Why not the Intel Yolo B210 while you're at it

The HTC dream

Alright, thanks for all the reply's!

Still rocking the Nokia 3310. Currently on PA with Elemental X kernel. Combo makes this phone fly. Btw, the boot up time is incredible. Not sure if it's the kernel, but it boots up in 2 seconds!

[Q] Should I buy a Nexus 5 or Wait and get Moto X+1

I would like to wait for the Moto X+1 but fear that my carrier will not get it (It never got the original moto x). Yes I know they have very similar specs but I have a big gripe with the N5's camera. It kinda sucks, I tried it out on my friends nexus 5 and didn't like it but I love everything else about about the nexus minus the speaker which I can live with. The moto x+1 is reported to have a 12 or 13 megapixel camera which is probbably gonna be a lot better but Idk if I can rely on my carrier.

You should post in the correct section.

This is the correct section. He is asking if he should get the N5 or wait.

It may have been moved from general.
Anyway, we're not making the OP's mind up. Thats his job.

This is the section the OP was moved to. And yes, I understood the question.

IMO the N6 will be out soon so you can get a new phone for the same price in a couple months. Also the other vendors undoubtedly will release something so it depends on what you want. This is a good phone and the new hardware isn't much faster than what we got yet and the only advantage would be a bigger screen.

As a former moto x owner the moto x camera was actually inferior to nexus 5 camera, the advantage the moto has over the nexus is battery longevity. As for disadvantages the moto had was development, if you are a flasher by very cautious on any moto product, the moto boot loader is a pain and flashing ota's caused more hard bricks than I can shake a stick at, I'm not exaggerating at all. Just keep in mind if you're on either Verizon or AT&T keep away from the moto as you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.
Also the back on the moto x is made of inferior material and will crack and split , I had multiple hairline cracks and a chunk break of just below the volume buttons

I have until the end of the day, should I buy??

I have the LG g3 on T-Mobile. Is the one plus one worth buying right now? I know the specs are almost similar, would there be an advantage?

In my opinion, no advantage, especially since aosp ROMs are now launching on the g3.

Why do you have until the end of the day? I would stick with the G3 if your contemplating swapping the two, it's most likely better built. Unless you want/ need another phone like the One. It's certainly a nice phone for a real good price.

The email said the invite is only available for 24hrs. But yeah the development thread for the G3 is on fire right now. It's tempting though.

I got some invites. 3 days left on some, 6 days on others. btw...it's pretty easy to get them right now on the OnePlus forums. Think about it for a while. If you need one pm me.

I switched from the ATT lg g3 and I haven't looked back. I dunno if I had a bunk g3 or wht but I had touchscreen issues even without a screen protector. And yes there is more development now but no where near as much as the one has. Also the ATT lg g3 forum had lots of people that were rude (not all of them, don't get me wrong) and just not as helpful as people here.
Now IMO the G3 definitely had a better camera..
Both great phones but for me I love the one and I love the One forum

Messed a bit with a g3 yesterday. I'll be honest, my one plus feels a lot faster. I would get the one plus, if nothing else because the battery is a beast.

Thinking of buying this phone

Is it worth it? I currently have a Moto X... but i hear there are a lot of problems with these phones. is it true?

This phone is really good, as you said some users has random issues, but if you didn't get those this is the best phone.
But if you already have moto 2014, why you want to change?

I would not consider buying a OPO when i can get a LG G3 for just 50 euros more here in Italy, but that's my 0.02€

The only problem I have with it is the looks.. It's a bit ugly, especially against the 2nd gen moto x

I do not think you would be making a mistake buying the OPO. The possibly only issues you might have are regarding service and a yellow stripe near the bottom but I have read that there are easy work-abouts for that. The features, feel, OS, build quality, performance are all superb.I have had a Samsung S2, S4 and Moto G (2013) and I am thrilled to have this. Also the battery life is superb - now down to 10% with over 46 hours since last charge and screen time of 5h 15m, 45 minutes voice calls and nearly 19 hrs Wifi on.

You should get the OPO, hands down. Most of the issues people have had with the device aren't even relevent anymore, as they have been fixed in software updates months ago. And I'm pretty sure that stuff like the yellow line doesn't even appear in the hardware anymore, and was only apparent in the first couple months. So you can safely ignore those complaints.
If you're comparing the Moto X and the OPO, be aware that the OPO actually has slightly superior specs. But, you know, that's not the best thing about this phone.
The OPO's XDA development scene is, in my opinion, the best thing about this device. Soooo many important developers have adopted the OPO as their next device, like FranciscoFranco and AK. You will see a lot of pleasantly suprised people in the forums, saying things like, "I remember you from the Nexus 4!" and, ”Yay, xxxx is here!”. No other recent device has the same support. Hell, the Moto X forums are a barren wasteland.
If you get an OPO, be prepared to have a lot of fun on the XDA forums. I know I am.

It is worth it. I would buy again.

I have Moto X 2014 and I just purchased the Oneplus for one simple reason... Moto X camera is total garbage. I mean it's bad. So I am returning my Moto and I'll try this.
