[Q] Should I buy Nexus 5?

Hello,
Currently I have HTC One X 32GB which I like but had it for almost two years now.
I am thinking of buying a new phone and my first choice would be Nexus 5.
However I am concerned about the Nexus 5 camera as the Nexus 4 didn't have
an outstanding one. How would the camera compare to One X
camera and generally to the whole phone?
Would you suggest me to buy Nexus 5?
Regards,

Like Jime1 said, If you want to buy a phone that has a good camera go for the Sony Xperia series ~21 MP (Z1).
The nexus 5 is more like a standard all-days phone, has everything average.

Most of the replies on this forum will favor the Nexus 5 for obvious reasons With that said, the N5 is a great bang for your buck, especially if you are unable to get the S5. And the development community is very strong

Just BUY IT!

As you like Samsung as you said, you will miss some specific features you will not find on the N5. Me personaly i like vanilla android better then TW and don`t miss a thing. But maybe something to consider when you buy a phone..

Buy the phone that helps you read sticky threads at the top of boards. Big plus if it prevents you from putting questions in the general section.

Asking here is pointless, as already said. Obviously we're biased. Lol
Just read about each in their forum sections and on the web....and decide.
If you want tonnes of development... N5 is the clear choice. If you don't care, get what suits your needs best.

I've switched from S2 to N5 week ago. Nexus 5 is really amazing phone! I've never seen so smooth and responsive android phone. Of course, nexus 5 is not ideal - GPS is far from perfect and battery life is not impressive. But overall I'm quite happy from my new phone. I still have my S2, but it's so laggy

I have both a Nexus 5 and a Note 3. Love the Nexus 5 way more, I barely use my Note 3.

Install the cm11 kitKat rom on it and enable art. I still have mine and it's increased performance due to kitkat is amazing.

I did too, but for GPS and battery life it's in both cases a very big upgrade. Can't compare to the Note 3 or S4 though as I didn't had those ones...

Just in terms of battery life...the S4 is not away...but I assume that the note 3 yes. It has a bigger battery and a bigger backlight...but not a "bigger" and all the rest.

Will you buy the nexus 6 or stay with the nexus 5?

Will you guys get the nexus 6 when it's available for sale or stick with the nexus 5 cause I've bought the nexus 5 about only a month ago and the phones get to my country overpriced -the 16 GB nexus 5 was about 500$- so I'm worried people might stop developing for or using the nexus 5 cause I may not be able to get the nexus 6

How many threads do you need to make?
There is already a "Nexus 6" thread in the General section.

I suppose this is different from speculation. Anyway, I think it all depends on what it will offer. Possibly bigger battery, better camera. Some new and original features. Processor/RAM doesn't really matter to me. It's already fast. I think I'm leaning on keeping it just because we will have Android L to play with so the software will be the same. However, if it has unique features I might get it.

I usually get the next Nexus pending price...

Assuming the price, I'll be hitting up the Nexus 6, and getting my girl to switch from Verizon to AT&T and give her my Nexus 5.

You damn Skippy I'm going to buy the nexus 6.

which phone should i buy

hello there
pls help me to buy the best smartphone base on my priorities that i sorted
1-no lag at all
2-best screen
3-beautiful design
4-camera
i like note 5 but someone told me wait for nexus 6p because nexus doesnt have any lag and samsung has lots of lag after one year
is this true?

Depends
Actually. It all depends on how you use it, I had a dual core android which doesnt lag at all exceptheavy games and apps that has high demands. If you're up for it I'd suggest you to wait for nexus, just simply dont install too many apps. And always keep your phone from malwares.. that should do the trick.

Note 5 ticks all your checkboxes, touchwiz HAS got better from previous days. But note 5 still has multitasking issues, and bad ram management. You can hope that samsung fixes it with a software update. Because I doubt the new N6 will have as good as screen and camera as Note 5.

are multitasking issues, and bad ram management can be solved by instaling custome rom?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Check out the Roms on note 5 dev section. You'll know.

Best screen is of Samsung Galaxy S6 as it is smaller than note 5, to it pumps up the ppi. I own a S6 for 2 months now, and not a single stutter.
Hit thanks if i helped you!

I have Note 4 also. I dont want to go down in screen size as I like it, The S Pen is nice but I so seldom use it anymore, I am looking at the G6 too, but am holding off to see what the S8+ actually brings as I want more battery in my next phone and a camera that can focus faster LOL.

Yep im thinking of s8+ lol
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk

i think the S8+ will do just fine. i have had every note device and never use the S pen. im excited for the new s8 though. just retruned my 7 plus and reversed my upgrade!

I was so excited when I got my note 5 back when, and decided that with oden, rooting was marvelous. and the dev. was very supportive. I'm on the s7 for a second time around and have seen a complete reversal for support. so with me it's a non issue with out an unlocked boot-loader. but if I had to choose, I couldn't wait, its the s8+ . Hopefully, a miracle would happen. peace.

I will get the S8+ if I decided to get a Samsung device this year. Simply because I rarely used the SPen ever.

Yea. I only use spen for copy and pasting texts

The Note 8 might have fingerprint under glass (at front), according rumors, the S8 would have had it, but Samsung run out of time to produce enough.

or the Samsung Galaxy On8? india only, but seems a better phone with removable back cover, none of this glass plated nonsense.

S8+ is on my high priority list! Don't need pen...

Just choose s8 plus
I still remember the day I bought a s6 edge

I used to love Samsung devices, but ever since they went only curved screens I've been bummed. Ooh well no more Galaxy's for me anymore. There are plenty of other phones. BTW absolutely love my Huawei Mate 9, best phone I've ever owned and I have owned almost all of them.

I almost bought a Mate 9, but the development there was scarce. Which made me have second thoughts. I'm currently using the Note 5 and was considering a G6 tough at first. I'm interested in seeing what the S8+ have to offer though and will make my decision after the reveal.

i had galaxy S2 then legendary S3 ...and then i switched to Note 4....and i sweared i would never go back to S series from note series.....so i guess either note 8 or i dont know what to buy these days....When Note 4 came out it blow my mind and i said that i must have it and bought it a moment when it came out....Now days i have no idea what my next phone will be :/

I was eagerly waiting for the release of the new Galaxy S phone, sold my S7 Edge like a month ago. I was all hyped and stuff, but even since all the rumours started to show up (no 6 gigs ram, no fingerprint scanner under the front glass (maybe for Note 8), patent for Note 8 dual camera etc.), I became unsure. At this moment i don't even know if i should spend 900 euros on a phone ) I even considered buying a Umidigi Z Pro
