[Nexus 5 General] KWKSLVR:
I don't find 4.2.2 to be all that bad on my GNex. I've never tried a stock experience though (Verizon). Frankly, I'm torn. I realize that Verizon will probably not get another Nexus. I have NO desire to go to AT&T and T-Mobile can't cover me like I need it. So I can either rock my GN until it dies and upgrade to whatever is newest or go for an S4. I think the S4 is going to be a nice device. If I swap, I'd rather wait until there is solid CM support before I do it and make the install on day 1.

Realistically, I see no problems with my Galaxy Nexus and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything because I have an "old and outdated" device.
[Nexus 5 General] FC1032:
Me :)

I did the same for my last phone the: nexus one. The nexus s seemed like a refinement over the one, but with nothing really "wrong" with it, I held on until the gnex came out.

I feel the same now, though I was much more satisfied owning a nexus one, the build and quality was better. My gnex has screen banding, tinting and a dead pixel. The body creaks...

Here's hoping the n5 is either Motorola or HTC
[Nexus 5 General] kcharng:
GN is not with it's fault. For me is mainly the poor battery life. Which is quite bad even when using custom roms that prolong battery life.

As for speed and support, I am very happy. Sure there are faster devices out there but for what I generally uses my phone for , it is more than enough.
[Nexus 5 General] Mach3.2:
Apart from the occasional stutters on 4.2, i'm happy with the performance.

I can't stand stutters as I have gotten used to using a SSD on my computer...
[Nexus 5 General] grognaz:
i sure do, and if nexus 5 is lg again i will skipp one more
[Nexus 5 General] channaq4:
Waiting for new nexus but don't have money to buy :(
[Nexus 5 General] slayr76:
Apparently the new nexus this year is lg yet again.
[Nexus 5 General] turdbogls:
you obviously didn't buy the thunderbolt did you ;)

I'll be waiting as well. but not becuase i dont want the current super phones (i would love them all), but, because i am locked into my verizon contract for another 8 months or so and dont want to spend $600+ on a phone that will be marginally better (for me) than my G-nex.

I LOVE my G-nex. really, its been great, Fun, and reliable.

had the N-4 been available on CDMA with LTE i would have bought one when it came out.

but the Gnex will be just fine for another 8 months i think. KLP will be exciting, but to be honest, i am SUPER happy with how my phone runs on 4.2.2 CM10.1. its fast, smooth, battery is adequate, camera is functional ect.

IPhone 5S

I have had 5 High end smartphone including Galaxy Nexus which by the way is in for repairs at the moment under warranty by Samsung (Bought brand new less than a year ago) and Nexus 4(wife). Not one of them have been without issues within the first 6 months. That's why I have been switching to other Android phones.

Galaxy Nexus is being the best of all and I really enjoy it. I don't appreciate the hardware issues I had with it but out of all my Android phones, it's been the most pleasing.

My reasoning behind getting an iPhone is, my family have it and they don't complain about it nor have issues with them. The software is simply solid and hardware is beautiful and well thought out. Also building and ecosystem where everything works is very important for me specially since I got a growing family and don't have time to spend hours to try to make something work. I also feel very comfortable buying an Apple product because I know that they will support it for years to come, Unlike my many Android phones before the Nexus where support from the company was drop shortly after and to top it off they didn't worry to fix known software problems. Apple quality procedures are above any other company in the world and if you do happen to have issues with a product they will stand before it unlike many other devices nowadays.

I am also about to have baby and would like to share pictures easily with my mother which has an iPhone, and I am planning to build an Apple ecosystem around my house.

I am looking forward to key lime pie though and see what will it bring.
[Nexus 5 General] pathtologos:
Good topic. I struggle to keep from buying almost everything that comes to sprint. Seriously, it's pretty sad...lol. I've had the s2, the s3, the note 2, the gnex, then back to the s3. Now back to the gnex. I'm gonna do my best to wait for the nexus 5. I pray to the cell gods that sprint gets it.
[Nexus 5 General] alexeiw123:
I'm just sitting back waiting for a nexus/open & stock device that is 4G compatible and with decent internal storage. When that pops up, my cash is going to come at them so fast. new moto? perhaps.. we will see.
[Nexus 5 General] msavic6:
Yes, software support is nice on a nexus but you also lose out on a bunch of things. The last couple updates I received on my galaxy nexus were filled with bugs and decreases in performance/battery life even after factory resetting or even loading the stock images.
[Nexus 5 General] roadrunnerx7:
Maybe the next nexus or motorola phone, but only if its actually impressive against the galaxy nexus. All the recent phones arent really much better... More of a taste type thing in some ways. Like some may think the galaxy note might be better... But probably in at least some cases(if not most) its not really much better, but just bigger. And for me, i dont want a phone bigger than this. I know somebody with a galaxy note 2.... Too big.. And cant do anything that the gnex cant already do, and im refering to truely useful things i would use everyday. Know another person with a nexus 4... In that, literately i see no difference. Also know someone with a S4... Again, same deal as with the note 2. Plus except for the nexus 4, those other phones dont have stock android...

All in all, personally i think the galaxy nexus is an amazing phone... Its gonna take something truely new and amazing to replace this. Or it breaking, or it not receiving the newest update.. Cause honestly if i could id just buy another gnex... Or nexus 4 i guess but only because to me its basically the galaxy nexus but made by LG lol.

I had the G1 before, then the G2. With the G1 it did feel outdated quickly, though the rooting kept it alive forever... With the G2 ONLY replaced it because i had used the keyboard so much, some of the keys stopped working lol. And it did get a little outdated too... For once with the gnex, doesnt feel outdated at all. And that was not even rooting it... Recently i finally rooted it, and its even better :)
[Nexus 5 General] azeem.droid:
Will wait for next nexus device. N4 seems like a marginal upgrade or i might just get a used N4 in a few months for cheap :D

For now my nexus is just adequate
[Nexus 5 General] msavic6:
You said two things that surprised me;

1. You have a friend with an S4.

2. You feel no phone is an improvement to your galaxy nexus. Are you serious?

I understand the tendency for people to "defend" the device they own but come on, you have to give credit where its due. The Galaxy S4 is ten times the phone the galaxy nexus is. The screen is better, the battery is bigger, the processor is quicker, the camera is better, and even has a card slot. If that is not an upgrade then I don't know what is...do you want your phone to print money?
[Nexus 5 General] msavic6:
That is the thing, phones are slowing down, there's not much that can be done after devices like the S4/One but that's where software comes in. Look at the S4 launch and you'll see that Samsung prioritized on advertising its software enhancements. Now some people may call those enhancements gimmicks but then again people have different uses for their phones. At the time being, I consider the S4 a major upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus just because the galaxy nexus was released at a time when major upgrades were common, heck the galaxy nexus was the first device to launch with ICS, that was a major upgrade compared to gingerbread. We'll see what Google does with Key Lime Pie and the next nexus device, that will be the deciding factor for me if I will stay on the nexus train or be hoping to other devices.
[Nexus 5 General] roadrunnerx7:
true im waiting for the same.. honestly don't know what else they can even do software-wise though. im guessing the reason they mainly show up with useless gimmicks are because even they know theres not much else to do. but to sell more stuff, they make it sound all great and useful(apple..). or theyre being lazy or cheap to truly make good new stuff. I can imagine they don't care much, given that it seems a lot of people are buying new phones just because the newer one is .00000000000000000001 inches bigger. or the battery lasts half a second longer lol

theres one thing im hoping for with KLP... fix/update/enable the Bluetooth support!
[Nexus 5 General] atljatl:
What roadrunnerx7 said. I don't want to quote all that again. Well put. :beer:
[Nexus 5 General] JXulo:
x10 mini.

I'm still with xperia x10 mini and stock carrier (from my carrier) android 2.1 so i'm skipping every generations since then ;).

Would i love to buy a new phone every year or every two years? Of course yes but i'm a very racional and spared person so i will keep this phone until it break or the battery cannot reach the end of the day. So my next phone will probably be a samsung s4/s5 or a new htc one/next year htc flagship or a nexus form one or two years from now or whatever be the best phone from me at the time :)
[Nexus 5 General] moshe22:
I congratulate you on keeping your phones for a long time. Really, the most aggravating thing for me when using a smartphone is how slow it gets after sometime. Specially with Android. I tried Windows phone 7 and it was relatively fast but buggy.

A slow and buggy phone is what keep me jumping around. The less buggy phone so far has been the Galaxy Nexus but after 4.1.2 it has been slower.

My next phone will most likely be an IPhone 5S.
[Nexus 5 General] thegtfusion:
Yes of course. I couldnt wish for anything better than purity rom + ak kernel for my GN :D, when n5 comes i will upgrade.

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Nexus 5 General] blankit:
Let's just hope the n5 is worth getting because the n4 isn't really worth upgrading from my gnex
[Nexus 5 General] FC1032:
The thing with nexus is that it is SO HARD TO GUESS. We don't actually know who's making it, we have a brief idea it will be improved from the last nexus, but that's still a very broad area.

:( and waiting is a very hard thing to do!
[Nexus 5 General] FC1032:
Anyone going for that Google edition s4? Or will you wait even longer?
[Nexus 5 General] CRIME INC.:
What kind of moron would spend $650 on a Google edition s4, when you can buy a carrier version for 1/3 the price, root it, and put aosp on it anyway
[Nexus 5 General] Alarmmy:
Tmobile no longer subsidizes for phones. For ATT, you still have to pay for your phone in your expensive monthly bill. Do the math before saying some one is moron.
[Nexus 5 General] CRIME INC.:
You're right. 1000 apologies for my rudeness
[Nexus 5 General] FC1032:
You deserve a thanks just for apologising, not many people do that anymore.

I remember paying a pretty penny for my nexus one and gnex. Having seen the newer nexus prices, id opt for the nexus 4 over the s4 and be pretty happy with the performance to cost ratio.

But I'm waiting till the end of year!
[Nexus 5 General] vj_dustin:
Using the GS2, and if Nexus 5 comes up with something really good, and not just numbers crunching up in hardware, I'll pick it :D
[Nexus 5 General] nikhil27:
I have been using ASOP 4.3 on nexus S. Its been two long years for my lovely nexus s. i had full plans to buy gaalxy nexus n nexus 4 but i dropped the plan n got nexus 7. Finally i have full proof plan to buy NEXUS 5 as it comes to my country.
[Nexus 5 General] THE_KINGDOM:
I wouldn't buy anything but a nexus, will get nexus 5 right away
[Nexus 5 General] loonytoon:
Currently I'm using S3 but I'm really thinking changing to N5. I'm very disappointed with Samsung not giving any drivers to the community. I want a device without the manufacturer's bloatware so I had to flash custom ROMs made by the community. So, depending on the price of N5, I might turn that way.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexus⁴ever:
i will definitly buy the new nexus 5 :victory: :)
[Nexus 5 General] D3LTA9:
Did consider buying a nexus 4 but on board storage was the killer for me. 32gb is imo the absolute bare minimum for a phone without removable storage, really need at least 64gb to not have to always be deleting stuff and selecting only limited media. Will be the same for the nexus 5, considering upgrading from my HOX+. At least this time round so far there seems to be a 32gb model with a few rumors regarding a 64gb dev version which I would be all over. I realise that keeping costs to a minimum is most likely why storage has been limited but I personally would be quite happy to pay a bit more and get a truly premium device instead of incredibly good value one with a few short falls.

Looking forward to seeing what the n5 turns out like given all the rumors and speculation, storage space and camera improvements are high on my list for things that have been previously lacking on Nexus devices and why even though I have been tempted have never bought a Nexus phone.
[Nexus 5 General] sirob71:
I'm fed up with the Android release delay by almost all manufacturers.

Who actually have 4.2 after almost one year? 2%? Not mentioning 4.3...

So I'm going to buy the N5. No matter, what the specs really are.
[Nexus 5 General] wizardfingers:
So whats the deal with nexus devices being so... I guess "popular" why so much hype to get a nexus 4/5 over an GS4 or the HTC One Max thats supposedly coming out this month with fingerprinter reader and external storage and a bigger battery of course cost should be irrelevant for me at least.
[Nexus 5 General] zippocat:
price of nexus 5 will be in the ballpark of 1/2 the price of the HTC one max. not worth paying 700€ for a phone anymore at this point imo.

i would have kind of accepted a fingerprint reader on an iphone, but the google play store applications seem too dodgy to me to be comfortable with scanning my fingerprints.

besides, the atrix 4g had a fingerprint scanner as well. everybody knows how that turned out.
[Nexus 5 General] rfarrah:
For me, it looks like it will come down to the One Max or the Nexus 5. We'll compare specs and see how they feel. Kinda leaning toward the Max.
[Nexus 5 General] raf1919:
I was waiting and getting more excited when I saw G2 specs knowing nexus will be similar. However when N5 specs were released, i was very disappointed to see them downgrade battery. So picked up a G2 yesterday.
[Nexus 5 General] vj_dustin:
I wanted to know, how is the new system they implemented with the keys on the back panel instead of sides, actually working out in practical life?

Narrated by Morgan Freeman
[Nexus 5 General] jibberny:
95% sure I'll be getting a Nexus 5 as my upgrade. Had my SII for almost 2 years now and turned down an S4 and HTC One. Hoping it doesn't disappoint.
[Nexus 5 General] lawalty:
I'm thinking of doing the same. I'm currently a Note 3 owner. I'm really tired of the carrier restrictions, especially dealing with the tap-to-pay NFC feature. I'm with t-mobile right now, and I was using ISIS. Now, since ISIS has been restricted to only Chase bank customers, and American Express. I really want to use Google Wallet.

Before my 14 days are up, I want to return my Note 3 and either wait for the Nexus 5 or pick up the LG G2. However, I believe the LG G2 is carrier restricted, and I will not be able to use Google Wallet, just like the Note 3.
[Nexus 5 General] or.saeros:
Current Note 2 owner... Not really happy with screen size (too big, can't swype with one hand, doesn't fit in pockets too well etc etc etc.) So I'm really looking forward to a smaller size phone as well as going back to a Nexus device... (I really miss my gnex).
[Nexus 5 General] brianfields33:
I also saw the specs for the N5 and jumped on the G2 in order to give it a try for the 14 day period. I'm on day 4 now and the keys on the back are fine. I use the knock knock feature 95% of the time. The only time I use the volume keys on the back are during a phone call and my fingers rest right on the keys. The most impressive things about the phone so far are the battery and screen. My second full charge I got 43 hours off the charger with 5 hours of on screen time. Plugged it in with 9% remaining.

Cons:

About once or twice a day my touchscreen will start bugging out and jump all over the place when I pull down the notification bar. Apps do the same and the keyboard is impossible to type on when this happens. A quick lock and unlock solves the problem, but it's still annoying. Call quality is also strange at times. Sometimes my wife says I sound like I'm in a tunnell. Checking and unchecking the voice enhancement feature during the call doesn't change it.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
I will be skipping N5.. wait for N6..

My N4 is enough for me for one more year.. :)
[Nexus 5 General] dastinger:
I still use a Galaxy S1 and am waiting for the Nexus 5. I wanted a Nexus 4 but with all the stock outage problems I ended up deciding I'd wait for the N5. Hope there aren't any issues like that with the N5.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I'm seriously thinking about it. Provided it will work with Sprint.
[Nexus 5 General] lxvrgs:
I'll most likely be replacing my galaxy s4 for this, price will determine if I just sell my s4 or hold on to it as a backup phone.
[Nexus 5 General] kcharng:
I was waiting for Nexus 5. However after I saw the spec of the battery, and in my country the price of nexus 5 will be the same as g2, I brought the g2 instead. I love my old Galaxy Nexus Dev support , but I hated the short screen on time even more.

Right now quite happy with g2. Battery life is excellent as everyone said. The button at the back is a breeze to get use to, and the camera is top notch.

I will probably continue to look up to nexus strong Dev support however. Trying out new roms is both fun as well as maximising your phone potential.

-LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] vj_dustin:
The cons seem to be fixable by an update. Well my main concern was the keys. Let's see what N5 has in stock and mainly at what price.

Because I was even hoping to get the moto x but its price was such a shocking disappointment.

I hope n5 is well priced.

[Nexus 5 General] kaynpayn:
Trading my S3 for the nexus 5 when possible, even if it means i need to order it from outside my country. With any luck i can sell it around same price the N5 will cost :p

Getting the international S3 = worse. mistake. ever. Not getting anything android but nexus from now on, learned my lesson the hard way.
[Nexus 5 General] kylecore:
I already bought the S4 on launch day in canada and although i'm happy with it I'm seriously contemplating the upgrade to the N5

Depends on the price though
[Nexus 5 General] velishka:
mosdef buying one. skipped galaxy nexus and nexus 4. my nexus s is out of breath by now.
[Nexus 5 General] M_K_:
Have the Motorola Atrix 4g now but will get the nexus 5 if possible, but if it is like the nexus 4 they won't even sell it for half a year here (Belgium) but I will probably drive to germany and get one there :p
[Nexus 5 General] AshleyTayles:
I'll be upgrading for my poor, battered and exhausted Galaxy S2. Having upgraded my old nexus 7 to the 2013 model and after seeing from the leaked images that they went with a similar style for the phone, I was sold.

I'm a sucker for matching stuff.
[Nexus 5 General] REDFOCZ:
I'm going to be getting it and replacing my S4 , I'm tired of at&t locked boot loader and slow updates. Side note I prefer soft keys over Sammy's physical home button.
[Nexus 5 General] Fatelord:
I am using IPhone 5S now, can't WAIT for N5 ..

been using HTC one and while nice I really hate the impure android experiences ..
[Nexus 5 General] bigredgpk:
I have a Nexus 4 right now on my personal line and a Nokia Lumia 920 on my business line.

My N4 is rock solid. The camera is a toy compared to the 920, but it's a solid phone otherwise. I think I'll hold off on upgrading to the N5 right away, not much room in the budget for a tech toy with new mortgage around the corner... doh!
[Nexus 5 General] PHug:
in a holding pattern

I was dead set on getting the Note3, already have $900 set aside to buy it off contract.

Now after hearing the rumored Nex5 specs I'm holding off for the official announcement.

If the Nex5 is what the rumors claim or better with a price tag of $400-ish I'll settle for the Nex5 just for the savings.

I currently have a crappy Moto Xpert with Boostmobile and I've been about to buy the GS3, Note2, and now the Note3 but my wait is nearly over.

Once the Nex5 is officially unveiled and priced I will buy either the Nex5, Note3 or a used GS4.
[Nexus 5 General] Saturn1217:
Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, GSM version.

This phone was ok until ~3 months ago (maybe when 4.3 happened).

Now the homescreen reloads all the time! And chrome is awful. And the battery is sucking really bad (<2hrs screen on time). And I'm running out of ram constantly. I sold my Nexus 7 2012 to get the 2013 version and went through a 2 week period where I only had my GNex for mobile needs...lets just say it was a long two weeks and really convinced me that I need a new phone ASAP.

BUT...I feel like Google always has production issues with the first batch of phones. Ideally I was going to wait until January to get the Nexus 5 when hopefully they have any first batch issues worked out but now I'm not sure I can wait that long. I guess I can factory reset the GNex...again.

What do others think? I've always avoided being an early adopter but is it worth the risk this time?
[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
Risk it > get a faulty one > get a replacement and wait a month most likely

Risk it > get a perfect one > win

either way you might as well be an early adopter
[Nexus 5 General] george241312:
Hmm I have a gs4 should I upgrade to the n5? What interests me is that new snap dragon 800, I'm currently using Google edition what I am afraid of is that I would find the screen smaller than the GS 4 because of the navigation bar.
[Nexus 5 General] mrbuddy:
Still using GS2, thought about N4, thought about xZ, thought about Note 2, thinking Moto X is overpriced, thinking G2 almost perfect but want hassle free flashing.

Looks like N5 is the one :good: if battery life acceptable and price is right.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Played with a G2 for several hours today...VERY NICE phone, a few annoyances, and it felt somewhat plasticy-cheap like a Sammy, but it had most of what I require. I'm also anxious to see the HTC One Max.
[Nexus 5 General] jewkhok:
thought about an N4

I'm using an xperia tl now and since I have a locked boot loader it is no fun thought about selling it to get a nex4 but will gladly wait to get the Nexus 5 I hope its way better then its predesessor.
[Nexus 5 General] jlmcr87:
I can´t understand people with an S4 or a recently phone change it so soon...........i´m waiting to replace my Xperia Arc wich is from April 2011, near 3 years.
