Google Nexus 5

I would definitely take the Nexus 5, though I do love the hardware from the Sony Xperia Z1 more to be honest, but the stock Nexus experience is the only version of Android I am completely happy with. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which I have ran Stock Android on ever since a ROM was released for it, and I am now running KitKat on it. I do love how the S4 has physical buttons as in comparison to the Nexus and the Z1 - I don't like loosing screen real estate to buttons - I wish the Nexus 5 had a better camera though, using the 21 Megapixel Camera on the Z1 is mind blowing.

Don't forget to encrypt your Google Drive, at least the parts that you aren't intending to share with your friends, and those secretive "friends of Google"... ;)

And what comes to those cheap Chinese devices built around MTK's chipsets, besides obviously having a select few state-mandated backdoors of their own baked in, there would seem to be very little open-source-spirited co-development going on, so there's mainly some tinkering around the closed-source blobs that they arrived with. Based on my quick look at that scene anyhow.

In fact I'm hoping the mid-range MotoG will kick some major OEM's arses to get their own customer support in order. Make a decent mid-ranger with a card slot, removable battery and, say, 2GB ram plus solid support for new vanilla firmwares (Goog's, CM, AOSP, AOKP...) and people will pay a decent premium for them over Goog's "Volkshandy" (the people's phone, like the Volkswagen of phones...).

I've got an S2, but the NFC variant. It does leave me firmware choice rather limited and I'm putting money on KitKat not being available for it from Samsung... so I may need to upgrade to something like and S3 - assuming they're going to support that.
[General Topics] atarian88:
I recently acquired a Galaxy S4 (Intl. gt-i9505), and it works well. I feel, however, that I should have waited for the Nexus 5, since it is more similar to my previous Galaxy Nexus. The one physical face button of the S4 feels... off, I guess would be the most appropriate word. I miss having the on-screen soft buttons, since it gave a more uniform experience.

My next one would probably be the current Nexus, if they're still around when it's time to upgrade.

hello friends, i am thinking to buy a new smartphone under 350$ & i likely to go with open source os like android rather than windows.

I'm into buying a new smartphone as well. Budget is 300E max, the devices I'm looking at are: LG Optimus L9 II, Blackberry Z10, Samsung Galaxy Note (1st gen). It's going to be mostly used for 24/7 IM/email and music playback, a few additional productive apps would be welcome. And a removable battery is a must so I can pop a 2nd one immediately. What would you suggest?
[General Topics] zonocus:
50 E more and the Nexus is yours

You will not regret
[General Topics] Nognir:
I thought of that as well. But the non-removable battery is a no-go. If I use an external battery pack for recharging while not at home, the battery cycles might get depleted before 2 years have passed by, and I intend to keep the device longer than that.

My personal decisions

I am planning on getting the Note 3, LG G2, or when the HTC M8 comes out, it looks pretty nice.

In numerical order:

1) Note 3

2) HTC M8

3) LG G2

I would get the One Max if it had a Snapdragon 800 and a removable battery, or a Nexus 5 if the camera and battery were better. Most of my decisions are based off of specs because I flash CM over pretty much all of the phones after about a couple of weeks of use.

Hi all

I need to buy a phone for my GF for x-mas. I would love to get the moto g, but they're not releasing it till jan.

Looking for somehting that will work on tmo(straight talk) hspa in a re farmed area.

I don't quite need a nexus 5, she has a sensation now. Looking for something in the 200-250 range. Something like a xiaomi/huawei/oppo...

I can't ever figure out the bands, every unlocked phone of that type I look at on say, ebay / newegg always says 3g or 2g, even tho it has hspa bands.

Could someone point me to a decent phone with a 4.3+" screen in the sub 250 range that will do hspa on tmo straight talk?

Thank you in advance!

Smartphones!

I personally prefer the Galaxy Note, but it depends on your perspective on it. If you just want a good phone, that's going to last you for a while, I would also recommend you checking out the Nexus 5. It's cheap, and well worth the price. Though If you want the best numbers on paper, definitely the Galaxy Note 3. Have you seen the bench marks? It's crazy! But I recommend you searching out of the Samsung brand line, other worthy mention-able phones would be the HTC One, Moto X, and a few others. Just look around the market and you'll find one that would meet your needs.​

Don't even talk about benchmarks because they are very different from actual usage. And everyone knows that Samsung and other OEMs are cheaters. They turn on all the four cores in benchmarking apps which is not the case with Nexus and Sony devices. Still Note 3 is an impressive device and it all boils down to personal preference and budget constraint.

Which of these three can fulfil my expectations?

[General Topics] Rygart1811:
Cant comment on the bootloader of Sony really.. but talking about all your choices, i think you should go with the LG G2 (if you are fine with the heavy UI skin). Its the best phone out there when you compare its processor and GPU. Has a very good camera and amazing battery life.

But considering the "support of xda" and "easy going back to stock", nothing beats the Nexus 5. Everyone knows how smooth vanilla android is. You'll get an above average/good camera and everything you are asking for. The only thing which lacks is a good sound.. its speaker is above average. If you can deal with that then imo Nexus 5 is all the way to go.

Xperia z1 is a good phone, no doubt in that. Its sleek and just beautiful, but when compared to Nexus 5 or G2, it just cant stand in front of them.

I don't really play a lot of games, and I just go to twitter and do web browsing. The only thing I don't like about the galaxy nexus is the ugly bump in the back. I was wondering if a case would smooth that out. The galaxy nexus also has touch buttons, which I don't really like since my hand sometimes hits it. I tried out the lg g2 at a store, and my hand bumped into the home button twice while typing, which is really annoying. I don't need a lot of space either, just some movies and a few small games.I have a budget also, and the $50 cheaper galaxy nexus is going to really help me out.

- Quadcore

- Bright screen

- Android

None of these are debatable.

The LG G Pad 8.3 seemed the best option (and the only Full-HD with a microSD slot), but its screen is HORRIBLE. Even in a barely lit room it is too dark! And the Nexus 7 has no MicroSD slot.
