Hi all
At the moment I have a Nexus 5 and I want to change to the Z3 because the battery of my current phone is killing me (Can't reach 3H SOT).
But it's a good moment to buy the Z3? I thing that if I buy it I will have to stay with it for at least 2 years.
What do you recommend to me? Should I buy the Z3 now or I should wait to others devices to come (OnePlus Two or Nexus 5 2015)

I used to have N5 and only thing that was better is grippines. N5 rubber smooth surface made it very easy to use without case. Z3 is superior in every other ways imo. Better battery, camera, front speakers and screen was definitely worth to upgrade for me. But keep in mind that I sold N5 for 200€ and bought used Z3 for 290€.
With Z4 coming out, the price of Z3 will come down, so I think it's time to buy Z3.

Hi
I want to know if I should buy the current Nexus 5 or if I should wait for a new Nexus phone with perhaps a 64-bit processor.
As of now I have a HTC One X that has some major issues with the battery or something related to power consumption when using the camera, so I really want another phone.
But should I hold on to my One X a little longer and buy the new Nexus phone that might or might not come out, or should I just buy the current Nexus 5 right away?
Why do you think we have the answer?

Buy a used one now. Resell it whenever you want to upgrade.
Yep, get one off eBay and enjoy it on XDA!

I'm in exactly the same position, my hox gets about 60 minutes screen on time, even with a new battery.
It may be over 3 months until the next Nexus mobile. Could you put up with your One X for that long? You wont be disappointed with the N5, it is still a major upgrade from the hox.
I have just ordered my second nexus 5 32gb Bright red (Someone stole my First) BUY IT ! This phone is amazing, one of the best I have bought in my life. If the nexus 6 comes out in november I would probably keep my N5 , but if the N6 is a major upgrade I will sell my n5 with the box, accessorie etc. for like 300-350$ So the N6 will cost me around 125-150$ if google keep the nexus series low-prices.
At the end it is a good purchase in all point !

Sounds like a plan!
Ive been debating for a couple of weeks now about getting a g pro 2. even though the phones been out for awhile the price is still up there. especially the Korean version. which is suppose to be the one to get to use in the US. Well, I couldn't hold off any longer. Ordered mines yesterday. The only thing im not happy with is the little or next none development support. I know this is a monster phone inside and out. I had the optimus g pro once. I loved the phone, but was disappointed with its support. I sold a note 3 to get this phone. everyone has a note. When you have a z ultra, and a one max the note 3 feels to small. I know the g pro 2 is going to be a nice replacement. I cant wait.
out of interest, why didn't you get the Nexus 6 instead? it's about as big, similar spec and probably will have a lot more development for it if you don't like pure google updates.

it's all about price...
You would be pretty pleased with the G Pro 2. Price is pretty affordable and knock knock code would be indispensable.
Enjoy it.
Price Factor
price is a factor. i did look at the nexus 6. i also looked at the price. i had sold a note 3 and the rest was out of pocket to get the g pro 2. if and when the price ever comes down to where the g pro 2 is now i would get one. ive never had a nexus phone because of there screen size. now put a nexus 6 at the same price that the nexus 5 came out with and im all over it. my current devices are a sony xperia z ultra, htc one max and lg g pro 2 which is being delivered as we speak.
I understand the excitement in getting a G Pro 2 but if you're one of those people that has to flash something every 20 minutes (like myself) you'll be extremely disappointed. I got so annoyed with LG putting a permanently locked bootloader on that I had to go out and buy an Xperia Z Ultra C6833 just so I could have a bit of device freedom. So if it were me, I would've kept the Note 3 or saved up for a while and buy a Nexus 6. But this is just my opinion, I know there are people that love this phone.
Hey guys. Just looking for your opinions: Is the Nexus 5 a good phone to buy now? I'm upgrading from the Galaxy Nexus (Old hardware and laggy software, even on custom Roms and kernels) and looking for a cheap phone with decent internals and smooth performance. Is it a phone that is likely to last, in terms of future proofing? Is there any other decent cheap alternatives with a lightweight OS and good hardware?
My quick opinion, is that the Nexus 5 is awesome. Beautiful, fast, and great support.
I bought it 2 months ago for 215€ and I am loving it every day.
About lasting it for long, I can't really say. The battery and limited storage may be an issue on the long term (so far great on both, but non-removable and no micro-sd), but I usually change my phone about every 12-18 months, so not really a concern for me: I buy a great, "cheap" phone every year (then re-sell it to recover part), to enjoy them. And so far, I enjoy my Nexus 5 like a little boy.
Thanks very much for the reply I'm more convinced to get it now!!
I would get something with more battery life. Preferably with more than 3000mah. But you coming from a gnex, anything is an upgrade haha

Hi guys, I've been on a nexus 4 for 3 years, rooted from minute 1. Really happy with it except the battery life... It's now around 3-4 hors SOT.
I just want to upgrade to something (new or used I don't care) that has a good battery. Im tired of charging the phone every time I have the possibility to survive 1 day.
Any suggestion? I read about the z3 compact, oneplus one, note 4, droid turbo, but don't know about new released phones and which one is better in that regard (not sacrificing too much potential, i mean, my nexus 4 is rarely laggy as of today for my usage, i don't need a missile inthat regard).
No one?

You should go for the OPO if you want value for a budget-mid range price. The device is premium built plus it's blazingly fast.
The price is 300 euros for the 64GB version.
I hope this helped...
So I recently decided to buy a new phone cause my nexus 5 is getting a bit sluggish and its screen is cracked. I was going to buy the 5x but then I realised it cost 480€ in Europe. Which is a bit too much. So I'm looking for a about 400€ phone which is not ugly , is quick and can be rooted stock Android is preferred. So basically a nexus phone but not a nexus phone. Thanks sorry for my bad english

nexus 6 is a nice phone, and you could likely get it cheap on swappa because its last years model.
i have a 6 and 6p, and other than the obvious spec increase of the 6p, i like the 6 better.
New Phone
