There are comparisons. Most reviews of the 2014 version compare to the 2013. I'll break it down for you. 2014 is bigger. 8mp camera instead of 5mp. Dual front facing speakers. MicroSD slot regardless of base storage option. No LTE version (as of yet). Other than that, they're exactly the same.

Hello!

My Galaxy S2 died on me the other day (screen won't turn on) and I'm looking for a new phone, well, I was looking for a new phone for a while but choose to wait, but now I have no choice. :P

I'm looking for a 5 ~ 5.3 inches phone, with LTE / 4G and great battery life. I'm from Spain, so I have to stick with International versions only.

I like to flash custom roms and tinker with my devices, which left the LG G3 and the Xperia Z3 out of the question, as the locked bootloaders prevents flashing roms or losing the DRM keys decreases the quality of the camera or the audio. The ability to flash roms with ease would be nice.

Right now I'm considering a Galaxy S5, an Xperia Z3 (if the bootloader can be unlocked without losing anything), or waiting for the Galaxy S5 LTE-A.

Alternatively, what ROM friendly phone would you recommend that it's not a Nexus 5? (I don't like the battery life nor the camera)

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Nexus is definitely the better choice. It's competent, but quite outdated. I don't know what your budget is, but a 2013 Nexus 7, or even better, the LG G Pad 8.3 would make a far better gaming tablet, even on a budget.

Hey Bro your awesome... Even in thought of buying that. Just wanted other suggestions. Thanx anyways. I can't buy it. It says I have to register in order to buy it.
[General Questions and Answers] Zanec:
Which is then better, Google Nexus 7(2013) or LG G Pad 8.3?

Also, here's a price comparison chart:

Nexus 7 2012 - 167€

MEMO PAD - 145€

LG G Pad - 219€

Nexus 7 2013 - 249€
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I own the G Pad 8.3, so obviously I'm biased, but it's the superior device. It's slightly bigger overall, but has a significantly bigger screen, due to having minimal bezels. It also has a faster processor. That being said, if you're the kind of guy that likes to flash custom ROMs, the Nexus 7 will give you more freedom, but there is some development for the LG in that regard.
[General Questions and Answers] Zanec:
Actually, I don't flash custom ROM's, or change anything really, which would be the best for gaming out-of-the-box I should have asked :P

I stopped flashing ROM's after I did some really creative stuff to my Samsung Galaxy Mini(the first release) to get it unbricked.

. . .

Well, I could try the LG I guess... It's at least a bit cheap-ish.
[General Questions and Answers] 73RM1N470R:
Hey guys I need to decide on a new phone ASAP, My note2 has finally died and I need a new phone, Im thinking G2 or Nexus 5, But some ppl said that the nexus batt forces them to be within the range of a power socket 24/7, and the phone dies after 10 hours of moderate to heavy use, Im leaning towards the Nexus 5 but the battery is the one thing thats stopping me (considering Im used to the amazing 3100mah batt on the Note 2), In terms of camera & battery (the camera which I almost never use) G2 takes it blindfolded..

others specs (i.e gpu cpu ;etc etc) are the same.. so I really dont know, (I know that in terms of OS and apps & software the Nexus is perfect, and has a lot more support and is developer friendly.)

Can you explain to me exactly how much does the Nexus 5 battery differs from the G2 one?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
It's smaller. 2300mAh vs 3000mAh.

It's worth upgrade from Nexus 5 ? Or should i wait ?

I love modding tho , any suggestions? I recently abandoned the OPO idea since i fear the touchscreen and warranty/customer service.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Nexus 5 is a perfectly good device. OK, the camera's not the best, and the battery could definitely be bigger, but only someone who places too much stock in benchmarks could be disappointed with the Nexus 5's performance. If you want to "upgrade", do so because you want a bigger battery, better camera, or bigger screen.

LG G2 isn't a bad choice. Not as much development as the Nexus 5, but there's some, including several of the more popular ROMs and some kernels. Granted, the internals are the same as the Nexus 5, but you've got a much larger battery and a far superior camera.

You've eliminated the OnePlus One as an option, which while unfortunate, I understand, because I came to the same conclusion. Heck of a phone if you can get a good one though; basically a Nexus 5.5.

Then of course, there's the Nexus 6. Big, expensive, and completely awesome. Maybe you should wait though. Wait for the hype to die down, wait for them to be readily available, and wait for the custom ROMs. Unless you simply need a bigger battery, in which case I say sell your Nexus 5 and buy an LG G2.
[General Questions and Answers] youngchaos:
Thanks , i declined the G2 for reception issue?! I heard a lot of people got this problem and for me reception is one of the most important feature. yeah , the nexus camera/battery are the 2 critical points , since i've got a OnePlus (with bad touch) i really miss the camera and battery tho. I would have given a 2nd chance to OnePlus but the customer service is really BAD. And i don't like it. Nexus 6 i would love it but 5.9 is TOO big. I guess i should probably wait for the new Snapdragon family and see what the market offers to us. Thanks anyway!
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Dude, battery life depends on 2 things: The size of the battery (udontsay) and

you

. Do you play games? Do you constantly text/Facebook/Twitter? Do you watch cat videos on Youtube? Are you like me and can't stand a dim screen so you crank that ***** up as bright as it goes? Even the dinkiest battery lasts a long time if you're not constantly using the phone for whatever.

If you're worried about battery life, just get the G2 and sleep easier at night.

As I mentioned in my above post, there's not as much development for the G2 as the N5, but there's some, and you should be able to flash to your satisfaction.

Don't forget to look at the OnePlus One.

I really wish manufacturers would stop with this trend of internal, non-replaceable batteries. Say what you will about Samsung, their bloat, TouchWiz fugliness, and KNOX, at least they still give us replaceable batteries and microSD slots.

working atomepe

As I said, Im upgrading from a Note 2 (3100mAh) and Im a pretty heavy user (yes, a lot of SOT which includes constant texting, software usage and other stuff.. (I dont play games too much.. I can go weeks without launching some game app on the phone sometimes)

about screen brightness.. I used to always set it to automatic on my Note 2.. I dont mind dimming the screen.. I dont a high as **** brightness..

and the camera, I barely use it anyways.

but I AM worried about the width of development for the G2.

HTC isnt really an option especially the OnePlus One which is clearly out of my price range.

But the real question is, will I be able to squeeze at least 24h out of the N5 ? with moderate use? (Im not talking 36 or more like my friend's G2)

What tablet to get?

I currently have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and use it as part of my DJ setup. I use it as a midi controller, it needs to be able to send lots of midi data back and fort to my MacBook which runs Traktor Pro 2 and Ableton Live 9 Suite. After using it in multiple DJ sessions I find it to be a little slow and unresponsive. Could this just be the app or the tablet?

Help for a tablet

Hi to all.

A little help here. I'm looking for a good relation price/quality tablet.

Currently on HTC one m7, looking at either the m8 or the eye, any thoughts on either please?
[General Questions and Answers] alray:
M8 have a better display than the Eye (better pixel density), more internal memory (32gb vs 16), wifi (ac vs n) and can do 1080p video (@60fps vs 30fps) and a slighty bigger battery (2600mAh vs 2400)

eye have a better front facing camera and is a little less expensive. slightly bigger diplay (+ .2 inch)

If you dont care about taking better duck face selfie or the price difference, go for the M8 imo.

Okay, so i have been waiting for new phones but not many phones that i found interesting and i need to retire my s3.

So, S5 or lg G3?

On the g3 i do like the design, but i don't dislike the s5 design either, but lg did manage to put a 5.5 screen in a small size. The 2k display is nice, but 1080p is fine and the g3 screen doesn't seem very bright. Im also afraid of lag on the g3 because of the ui but also the screen that requires more power, but lag is also associated with touchwiz and the g3 does seem a bit more comfortable to hold since its curved.

What do you suggest, s5 or g3? I having a tough time deciding.

[General Questions and Answers] p-walker:
Hey guys,

I'm looking for some advice regarding my new phone.

Specs:

- shouldnt cost more than 300€

- should be officially supported by CyanogenMod team

- I don't want a phablet means prefered screensize < 5" , I like to use my phone with one hand.

- would be nice to have a microSD card slot (so I can reuse my 32Gb one)

Don't really care about actual hardware spec as I won't play demanding 3D games, I do use a lot of different apps though, mainly for checking the news, weather, chatting, notes, calendars etc. guess most phone hardware nowadays will handle those apps smoothly.

- don't care about LTE...

more nice features:

- LED flash ( my old S1 didnt have one, very annoying)

- notifications LEDs (my old S3 mini didn't have em...)

Also I'm done with Samsung, sick of resetting flash counters for warranty etc...

I thought about Nexus 5 (price is dropping below 300€ recently) but I don't like the fact that it doesnt have a SD slot...

Also thought about Motorola Moto G(2014) but like the Nexus it's rather big with 5", but it's cheap and fullfills the rest of the specs.

There seems to be also the Moto G LTE version, which adds a SD slot to the original Moto G.

HTC One mini 2 would be perfect but it's way too expensive right now :( the One mini 1 lacks the SD slot again...

The Xperia Z seem to drop below 300 also and seems to be nice.

Xperia M 2 seems to be nice and cheap but not supported by Cyanogen yet :-/

Any more thought/ suggestions?

if you root a Motorola device, you lose the warranty.

For what he was asking i will suggest lg g2.
[General Questions and Answers] p-walker:
I'm pretty sure you lose warranty for every phone if u do not unroot it before u send it in.

But as far as I know only Samsung uses flash counter or even irreversible Knox counters in phones so that they can see if someone flashed a custom rom. Haven't read from any other company doing that.

Means if I can unroot a phone without leaving traces for the warranty service I'm fine with that.

Of course if my phone completely breaks and I have to send it in without being able to unroot it there's always a chance they will notice my custom roms unfortunately.

Ps: thx for your advice but I don't think the LG G2 is the right phone, it's too big, too expensive and lacks SD slot, I'd prefer probably any of the above mentioned ;)

Anyone?I really need to make a decision very soon, actually wanted to order it today, and im still not 100% sure on which
[General Questions and Answers] p-walker:
thx for the hint, I didnt actually know much about locket bootloaders as my recent phones(S1, S3 min) didnt have locke bootloades.

But I read now that most phones today do have locked bootloaders.

So it's true that u lose the manufacturer's guarantee after unlocking the bootloader(at least for motorola) but acutally here in Germany/Europe we have a 2 year warranty from the dealer(where u buy the phone) enforced by law. So if some parts of my phone stop working I first contact my dealer anyway and unlocking/rooting a phone apparently doesn't affect that warranty as far as I know now.

Damn didnt know that locke bootloaders are such a big thing nowadays...

Well I guess the dealer warranty should be enough as the manufacurers guarantee will not help me much anyway
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Flip a coin. They're both great, and they both have advantages over the other. G3 has an extra gig of RAM, bigger, higher def screen, dual screen. The S5 has a prettier AMOLED screen, waterproofness, USB 3.0 connectivity and charging, and a better camera. Both have IR blasters, removable batteries, and microSD card slots.

Personally I'd go with the Sony Xperia Z3.
[General Questions and Answers] griffin_1:
Thank you.

I think im going to go with the s5. Im afraid i would have some of the problems some users had with their g3 and the screen on the s5 is brighter.

The z3 is also a good phone, but it ends up being more expensive (probably because its a new release)
[General Questions and Answers] Stuart Little:
You make a good decision:

Samsung Galaxy S5 - Solid choice but not for the spec fanatic because TW hog down the RAM with all the bloatware, but the hardware is so good that you won't really experience lags.

Xperia Z3: Sony thinks they are premium but their phones are for me not worth the price.

LG G3: for me it doesn't feel stable.

I personally would go for HTC One M8 or Droid turbo ( US Only )
[General Questions and Answers] griffin_1:
Thanks!

I actually would have picked an m8 if it wasn't for the camera, other than low-light, it not consistent and a lot of sample pics didn't look good. Im not in the US so i can't get the Turbo, but its a great device from what i have seen.

The z3, it was the most expensive of them all and i have read a lot of people complaining of self cracking glass and if it doesn't self-crack, its still glass and more fragile.

The g3 seems good, but then there are some big issues that people mention and the ui is still not as smooth, don't know if its a software problem or if its hardware because of the bigger res screen.

Hopefully i will be happy with the s5 and they improve on the lag or even make a google play edition with lollipop, that would probably make the s5 fly :D
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
If price is a concern, check out the Xperia Z2. You can get them for ~$450, and it's still a heck of a phone, even if it is (half) a generation behind. I'm not trying to push Sony products on you, I'm just listing alternative options, since you're waffling between 2 others.
[General Questions and Answers] Stuart Little:
You can enjoy your S5 the best and the simple by flashing a debloated TW rom.

And there is now an lollipop update and it's really beautiful.
[General Questions and Answers] griffin_1:
My carrier got the z3 and they still have the z2 listed under their phones but no stock. I didn't considered the z2 mostly because of the issues i read and seen in photos, especially self cracking screen/back and overheating. People said that happened more in the first batches of phones, but i never know what i get and would always be fearful that would happen and it seems that Sony wasn't accepting it under warranty.

Other than that, it really was and is a phone with great specs and quality. If it wasn't those issues and also if carrier still had the z2 at a good price, i would definitly consider it.

Thanks. I have seen the lollipop video update and it didn't seem bad, tw is still very noticeable but they did adopt more from the new Android and more than lg seems to have from what i saw in videos.

The problem with changing roms is knox, i hate that and that was one of the downsides for me. But the OS is more complete these days so i might not feel the need to root and change roms soon, but it will definitely happen after i have the phone for a month or two.
