Nexus 5 died. I got the one plus x did I make a bad choice? self.
The One plus x seems OK. I know the cpu is older but it has 3 gigs of ram. It dose not have wireless ac like The nexus 5 that was useful. It is missing a LTE band that I use on tmobel but that seems to work fine. Im on wifi most of the time, (google fiber) very fast so ac is usefull. With the oneplusx I cap about 50 down or up now so its not to bad. I payed 250 us for it off amazon.com So I have a little time left before I have to keep it about 3 weeks. Should I be looking at some thing else that's out now or coming out soon. or is the Oneplusx a keeper? thanks

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.
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.

sorry i cant offer an opinion on that.
Would you buy s7 now or wait for next S phone? Do they historically come out around Feb?

I would buy one now. In fact, I just did. I got a killer price and accessories are dirt cheap, for the most part. It's still a badass phone with top-notch specs, and probably one of the best deals around. At first release, it was way overpriced compared to the competition. Now? Definitely get it. The S8 will be $400+ more than a S7 when it's released.
This year so far, I went from a Droid Turbo 2 to Note 5 to Moto X to S7 to iPhone 6s to Nexus 6P back to the S7. I played extensively with a HTC 10, Pixel, Moto Z, LG G5 and iPhone 7. Other than the 6P, the S7 has been my favorite phone this year. A close third would be the Moto Z. Unfortunately, the largeness of the Z and 6P killed it for me. Had it or the 6P been a bit smaller, I would have stayed. But, I digress.
I recommend getting a S7. It's a damn good phone.
Thanks. Seems international version going for $500. Think that's a good price new?

Right now I would wait to buy a S8. It'll be out around spring time.
What I look for in a phone is 5.1"-5.5", latest hardware, nice speakers, nice build. Depends on what you have now and if you only want to spend under $500. I see that you are using a Moto X? If you are than definitely get a S7 international exynos version or the AT&T variant can be purchased for under $400 usd nowadays used.
I totally agree with you on that. I've been a huge HTC fan and than got me a AT&T S6 when it first came out than I won a bid for a gently used AT&T s7 for around $400 USD out the door. As a everyday phone and not having root this phone has it all. The size is manageable and perfect for me. I had a LG V10 and that thing was too hard to pocket and also a Nexus 6. The speakers were always a big reason for me to purchase a phone but now I don't really care for that feature.
The S7 is the overall best phone I've owned to this day. It makes a really good daily for any person that doesn't urge to root and flash ROMS. Fast camera, Great bright AMOLED screen, snappy performance, microSD slot plus water proof, WIRELESS CHARGING, bottom speaker gets loud but its not the best. The always on display gimmick is actually really useful and just got updated to look like Note 7's always on. Overall I am pretty happy with the phone.
It would depend on how you feel about your current phone. I switched to S7 because the S6 got poor battery endurance and sluggish.
The S7 has better screen and camera than my previous S5, the UI is about the similar smooth because S5 could be on customized rooted ROMs.
Also, would the money be an issue to you? S7 is estimated $200 to 300 cheaper than the S8.
i just bought the s7 a few days ago after many weeks of doubt (whether i shud get it or not), and i'm very glad i did, this phone is insane (even without root)
my previous phones were xiaomi mi4 & oneplus x, both phones i rooted instantly and flashed hundreds of ROM's, with the S7 i don't feel the need to flash a ROM atm
the display is amazing as well & the battery is good enough for me (getting around 5-6hrs SOT with mixed usage of Wifi/4G, while i havent even had the time to remove the bloatware)
