I have the option to sell my note 2 at a good price and get a Nexus 5, would you do it? I know Nexus' screen is smaller but the resolution is quite better, however the camera on the Nexus seems to receive so much hate, I think Nexus 5 is faster isn't?, also, I don't like the way that Samsung deliver the updates, any comment from someone who have had the chance to try both? thanks!
Hahaha, sadly, I can't, the idea is not to put extra money for the Nexus 5 :S
If your note works fine i wont change it by need, but its always nice to have a newer, if you can afford it i'll buy it.
Nexus 5 is so good.go for it!
I wasn't a big fan of the nexus I went back to my note 2
disabso which
TRy nexus u wont regret!
I don't see the point? They both make calls and texts. That's what a phone is for...
I used my Droid X until 3G became unusable. I've never needed to have the latest phone in order to keep up with my phone calls.
Nexus looks more classy than note.I think so

People buy phones based on how "classy" they look? Here I thought that's what cars were for... Lol
so what do you choose? I think nexus has a better outlook.thats all
I think nexus 5 is better, it can follow Google's update.
if you can install a rom on note2, just do it....else dont do it.
I want for longer battery life.. If nexus is the answer I would choose Nexus 5 rather than Galaxy note 2...
That's really strange.. I was thinking the exact same thing!! I was considering selling my note 2 and getting a nexus 5.. however after the terrible experience I've had with LG droid's, I don't think I could bring myself to do it again.. however the 4 seemed to be pretty rock solid, and so far so does the 5.. I just don't think I could part with my note.. unless someone offers me a note 3 at a good price haha!

The Nexus 5 seems to be pretty solid. It does not have all the functions the s5 will probably have, but at least what I did was buy the Nexus 5 unlocked from Google so I didn't extend my contract with ATT and when the next latest greatest comes out I will buy that on my upgrade from ATT. Hard to argue with a good phone that the total cost is what I would pay for a subsidized phone and with the subsidized phone I would have to extend my contract with ATT.
I for one will never purchase another Samsung phone with the whole Knox security situation

buy the s5 when it is released or wait for the next flagship by an other company which will be released just weeks after with better specs?????
just buy the N5 and dont think too much, its a really nice device!:good:

Honestly, if this is your first android phone I would recommend the galaxy s5. Nexus devices are more targeted at android enthusiasts/purists and don't have the bells and whistles that a lot of the others do. If you're not planning to unlock and flash custom roms and kernels then you're losing the biggest advantage of the phone (in my opinion). But if money really isn't an issue, then you could just buy both and sell the one you decide against.

In that case, go with the n5...it will be much easier to unlock than the s5. I would be surprised if the s5 came out in January; they are targeting a "Q1" release date so to me that means March.
I actually just ordered my n5 last night and had the same dilemma about the storage. I don't usually store a lot of music or movies on my phone but in the end I decided on the 32gb version since there's no external sd slot and it's only $50 more. 16gb may be enough, but keep in mind that you'll really only have about 12-13gb of user storage available.

Ignore the comment about the Nexus 6. The Nexus 5 just launched and it'll be awhile before a new Nexus device is launched. You're looking to get an Android smartphone and soon.
Choosing between the Galaxy S5 (unofficial) and the recently released Nexus 5, it's a matter of opinion. The Nexus phones and Galaxy series phones have always been different. The Galaxy S5 is going to be significantly more expensive than the Nexus 5.
Currently you can buy the Nexus 5, 16GB model full retail from Google for $349 and the Galaxy S4 costs $749. I owned the Galaxy S4 for 6 months and switched to the Nexus 5 and enjoy the Nexus 5 more than. You can buy a 32GB Nexus 5 model from Google for $399. The Samsung Galaxy phones will have Touchwiz (their launcher) along with the Android you'll be getting. For the past many years, people have "hated" Android for being laggy and having bad battery life. Those typically come from added 'bells and whistles' that most people don't end up using. The Galaxy S4 has those neat features where if a video is playing and you look away, it pauses the video. Those features are tedious and don't always work as great as they're expected too. When you get a Nexus device, you get a pure vanilla Android experience. It's just Android, it doesn't have carrier crap or manufacturer features from Samsung that 96.4% of people just disable.

If you're concerned about space, get a 32GB. Only $50 more.
I know your asking about the Galaxy S5, but there's no official specs or expectations to go on so i'm basing my experience with the S4. Both have an immaculate screen and we can assume the S5 will be similar.
***What I would do if I were you is get yourself a Nexus 5, a fast, great Android experience - so you can adjust to having Android instead of iOS from your iPhones. Then after the S5 officially releases and they've worked past the issues they're going to have (being that it's Samsung) and play with one at a local store to see if you like it over the Nexus 5.

In my opinion, the Nexus 5 is an affordable smartphone with decent specs, Galaxy s5 isn't even released yet and will likely cost close to twice as much. Sure the S5 will probably have better specs since it's newer and costs a lot more.
From personal experience and I'm coming from an iPhone as well, I liked the S3 it was a nice phone with a good amount of options, didn't care for the S4, it was loaded with lots of features that I'd never use other than to show someone "hey look what this can do" It was big and felt like a mini tablet, total overkill for a phone unless you like that sort of thing.
I didn't care much for the Nexus 4 design, but I really like the Nexus 5, my only complaint is the camera which is supposed to be fixed with an update.
So, if you want lots and lots of features on a super expensive phone that won't receive updates quickly (unless you install a custom rom) go for the Galaxy S5
If you want an affordable phone that looks and works well and gets fast updates, go for the nexus.
PS: My only other complaint about the Nexus is that there's no Otterbox for it, but since Google has their own cases it doesn't bother me so much.

I don't know what you mean by multi-tasking experience? If you mean app-switching, there is a dedicated button on the Nexus 5 on the far right which allows easy app switching.
If you're referring to the "Multi-Window" feature to split your screen in two apps, no. That's a Samsung Multi-Window feature that the Galaxy S4 and Note 2/3 have. There are other things similar to that which you can get on a rooted Nexus 5, but it isn't stock.
Just my final thoughts on this... Carriers usually have a return policy. If you like the note setup then maybe Samsung is more to your liking? And about the space.... Since the n5 has no SD slot I bought the largest.... Would rather potentially waste 50$ than constantly run out of space and dislike my phone because of it.

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.

iPhone wont be a threat to Note 4 only if Samsung manages to keep the price almost same as or below Note 3 and well lets wait and see what Apple has to offer coz since past 1-2 years phone upgrades haven't been anything extra ordinary as there's nothing much left to surprise, so lets just wait and see.

I agree with you. As the owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I will buy Note 3 instead of Note 4. It will be much more cheaper while the specs are almost the same.
Having in mind Samsung Galaxy Note 4, I expected a BIGGER battery (4000mAh), slightly bigger screen (5.9inch), stereo speakers (similar to HTC ONE). ?
Yes note 2, s2 , s3 owner will definitely prefer Note 3 because of price.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
I feel Samsung is becoming a joke tbh. The design is almost the same and hardware wise it wont be running circles around the note 3. I guess it's bye bye Samsung for me in the future. I was hoping for an sd805 soc. Closed source exynos means no cm for it. Can't live w/o it.
Note 4 is a Note 3+
It was expected it wont be a huge difference
And the price is insane for a note 4
You have to wait 2 years if you want a real upgrade
For example
S3 to S5
Note 2 to note 4
And yes iphone will blow the note 4 away
With power of the cpu and the hardware
Cant go around this fact

This is first time I feel that Samsung has placed a suicide bomb in their department. Note series users always upgraded because Samsung provided something extra and special. I am afraid it is lacking in note 4. Hence most people , perhaps 90% are saying they won't upgrade from Note 3. This is indeed failure for Samsung.
One after one new model producing by sammy, which make them confused, mixed bag of different models in flagship model, nothing new, note 4 is mixture of S5 & alfa.

Samsung must think note users are moronic iPhone users that will line up to throw away our money at the same product just because they added two more features to it. Well my note 3 is still kicking.

specially I'm pleased with new touchwiz UI which is way more modern and lighter than current version. multi tasking is much more useful now
I wont trade my note 3 for note 4 of course. just waiting for great devs to start porting it's rom maybe!
BTW the new iphone would have it's own buyers and the note 4 also! the Android and IOS users are separated widely since release of ICS and I don't think that there would be too many migrating users...

New touchwiz is crap. Hate it. Settings menu is awfull. I saw it on S5. Cant stand all the new icons like bubbles
Note 3 rooted knox 1, my last Samsuck crap. I want freedom. Stay away from Samsuck!
god i hope your wrong i think apple r crapple as i call em r just the most god awful phones . i work with phones and trouble shooting r doing anything with i phones is the pits
What a bunch of cry babies. You people need to understand that new phones these days do not have much to improve on, except perhaps for some software features. What did you expect? Snapdragon 1000? 6gb ram? They added what was available at today's standards.
Better build quality, a few more gimmicks and a sick ui. It's a win.
Which one would you go for?
OnePlus One
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Motorola Nexus 6
This really should go in the dedicated 'What should I buy' thread.
At any rate, what are you looking for in the device? The OnePlus One comes with a version of CM, the Nexus 6 is easiest to mod, and the Note 3 offers the Spen and true multitasking but comes with KNOX.

Not what should I buy
I would buy OnePlus One if I had to.
I just wanted to know the opinion of other people.
Ah. Alright.
Why are you not considering the Note 4?
No doubt about it; the One Plus One as it is overall an excellent device containing no bloatware (Samsung), and not too big (Motorola) but updates and support will probably if not all ready stop due to One Plus and Cyanogen splitting but here on XDA you can still find out how to update it
Kinda sad they're already splitting, but yeah, OPO should be the go-to-phone for right now just because of how powerful it is versus the price.
