Dat 5.5" screen + 32gb internal + external SD slot is what's keeping me from the Nexus 5.. Same as with the Nexus 4 and LGOG. My internal is half full and about half of my 64gb card is half full so I definitely need the storage space lol.

I'm staying with the pro for now. I'm eager to try kitKat but I'm sure we will see some roms before long so I'm gonna stay with this beast for now. I love screen size removable battery SD card and battery size.

I think it's worth it. Given that it has the latest Android version, the latest proc. The camera has OIS. And the dev community for Nexus devices is huge.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cynosure4sure:
yes i agree the dev support will be no doubt huge......actually i have another motivation as well....

i have the Korean version F240K so dev support for it is very low for it....but what can i do i live in Korea :silly:

mostly i am waiting for battery tests as 2300mAh is small....or maybe LG OG Pro's replaceable battery spoiled me :angel:
[LG Optimus G Pro] titus1:
Just buy a great powerbank, and you're good to go.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
5 in screen can't do it to small 5.5 is perfect
[LG Optimus G Pro] kyyummy:
I have the F420L, and it makes me sad that there are very few developers working on the OGP and fewer still want anything to do with the F420 variants. The Nexus 5 has great software support from google and the dev community, but its hardware isn't that much better than the OGP to justify purchasing it right away.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Not really. Had my white (unbranded) OGP for only a month and loving it (looks and speed). The N5 just looks too plain for my taste and in white it doesn't look any better; Zebra complex.

N5

N4 same rear pattern as my OGP with the non-branded batter cover
[LG Optimus G Pro] iyngr:
Obviously just can't tolerate LG's late updates.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mr.r9:
I really do miss the various roms I had on my S4. In addition, some kernels allow you to have 2 roms installed!

Mainly I miss development, and I sorta like how it looks (N5).

I am planning on buying one, then I will sell whatever I don't like :angel:
[LG Optimus G Pro] NardVa:
Would get an N5 if I didn't get the G Pro recently. I was coming from an Nexus 4. The 2300 battery might be an issue on the Nexus 5.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psygnosi:
The OGPro has too many advantages and like the others above will pass on the Nexus 5. I love my OGPro!
[LG Optimus G Pro] polux400:
Well, I took G Pro for his big screen, perfect for watching tvshows and movies... so my answer is : no :)

Micro-SD slot is mandatory for me, or at least, 64gb internal memory !
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I finally received my LG Optimus G Pro today, so all my previous comments have been based on speculation. I finally have had the chance to really use the device.

While I did enjoy the stock UI more than I anticipated, I ended up with CyanogenMod installed, which is what I had planned to do with the device. Coming from AMOLED devices in the past, I am extremely impressed with the LG's screen. I much prefer it, so for me, IPS is my new default standard. The color is far more balanced and reading on it (which I do quite a lot of) isn't as taxing on the eyes.

The sum of its parts makes the LG OG Pro the unsung gem in the smartphone world, IMO. I'm extremely pleased that I sold my S4 and even with the extras, such as the AT&T case that activates the phone when flipped open and sleeps the screen when closed (works fine on CM, btw) a dual USB car charger and some screen protectors, I still have $150 left over from the sale of my S4, and I doubled my internal storage capacity in the process.

If this device had a fully unlockable bootloader, I don't think I'd ever sell it. The S4 has cheap plastic trim, but it looks to me like the OG Pro has real metal. The camera shutter and flash works faster on the OG Pro than the S4.

All in all, there's not much compelling me to look at the N5. It costs more and gives me less of what I wanted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cynosure4sure:
Actually in my opinion there is no reason to jump to Nexus 5 until Dev support continues for this phone....saying that anyone has any estimates/predictions as how long will Cyanogen support will continue foe this nice phone? :highfive:
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I don't see any reason why it would stop being supported. With Loki, we can continue to work around the bootloader, so I don't see any problem with future development, but there may be a major change in something that screws that up. If/when the bootloader is patched to prevent the Loki exploit from working, and if the bootloader is tied to major functions on the device, as it is in Samdung's S4, then we could have a problem.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Was considering the tR SLIM, but decided it's too expensive to spend on one screen protector. The plastic ones work fine, the one I've got on my current phone has been perfect, no air bubbles or anything, so I think I'll stick with one of those.

I'm in the UK though, and the only Spigen plastic screen protector on Amazon or eBay I can find is the Crystal one, not Ultra Crystal or Steinheil or whatever it's called. Does anyone know what the difference is? Also has anyone in the UK got a recommendation for a plastic screen protector for the N5 from a known brand, not one of the cheap eBay ones?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] seanerixon:
Ultra-Crystal Steinheil from Spigen since it came with the case from Spigen I got off Amazon. I'll share my thoughts once I get it, it's due to come in the same day as my phone(which should be September 7th).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I have the ultra clear on my n4 and had it on my gs3. I love them, and have already ordered the ultra for my n5.

I am thinking about a glas.t though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pholocity:
Not too long ago, Stack Social did a group buy of sorts for the nee iphone 5.

The deal was for:

iPhone 5S / 5 Case Tough Armor Protection Kit

FOR PROTECTION KIT 1

Screen Protector GLAS.t Slim - $29.99

FOR PROTECTION KIT 2

Screen Protector Steinheil [Ultra Crystal] - $13.99

Select Color

Smooth Black

All for the amazingly low price of $36.99

This would be great if they could do the same for the Nexus 5. I really like that GLAS.t.R and would love it on the N5. I ride a lot on my bike and stuff it in the back pocket of my jersey as well as putting the phones i have in my pocket. I dont want the screen scratched. I dont care how good Gorilla Glass 3 is, I know through daily use I'm sure I would end up scratching it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] CDeviant:
I've been using Nexus 4 w/o a protector since the beginning, zero scratches here.

I keep my phone in a leather pouch.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Psilocin:
You don't buy screen protectors for scratch protection as much as you do for minimizing the visibility of fingerprints. The N4 screen requires constant cleaning without it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] CDeviant:
I have noticed that screen protectors do help this more than one might assume.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dunjamon:
Do these come with a cut out for the light sensor on the right? I bought some cheap ones for my N4 and I had to cut the corner off for the sensor to work properly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 918273645ams:
I orderd the glastr tempered glass protector. I have one on my Note 3, and it makes the screen feel like there is nothing on it (just as smooth as regular glass screen) whereas a plastic protecter is never a smooth.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alfavictor:
I've used the Xtremeguard on 3 of my devices. It is a wet-application protector. I've found them to be quite good!

Is it really worth it to spend $30 for a glass screen protector or is this just for a peace of mind?

mediadevil forever

had it on all my phones/tablets and i love those screen protectors... pre-ordered for nexus 5, ships November 18th... 8£ -> a pair of screens!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lJesseCusterl:
No finger drag from friction, oleophobic coating, and actual impact protection. I've never understood the mentality of, "Hey, I'm not going to spend more than $3 to protect the glass screen of this $400-800 device! That's too damned much!"
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lawliet:
What is the difference between the GLAS.tR and the GLAS.t?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lJesseCusterl:
Higher-rated hardness for scratch resistance and rounded edges on the protector itself to make it fit better with cases.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Irvysan:
I have the zagg protector on mine just because they were the only ones available today in the shop and I have used them in the past
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shreddintyres:
Glas.tR has rounded edges for a better feel on the device better impact dissipation both are rated at 8-9h hardness. The Glas.tR is also about 0.16mm thicker than the Glas.t so it will marginally make your device heavier otherwise the two are the same.

more information on the Spigen website. personally i'm going to wait til i see a review on one over the other but right now im leaning towards the Glas.tR

hope this helps.

- Cheers
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mgamerz:
Doesn't this phone have gorilla glass 3? Why do we need a screen protector for it? My old atrix had gorilla glass 1and it protected from keys and stuff well. My galaxy nexus did not though...

It suffered a terrible fate
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Not all of them are like that, some are crystal clear and as slick as the glass (not Glas which is slick as well but thought I should specify). The "orange peel" effect is particularly attributed to Zagg and a few others but there are plenty that are just smooth and clear.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cannondale0815:
The screen protector is the only protection I am using. No ugly case of any sort. But I have scratched my share of screens, gorilla or not, and rather spend a few bucks on screen protection than to eventually have hairline scratches from those ubiquitous metal rivets that all right-hand jeans pockets have.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Currently have on the screen protector that came with the spigen case. I'm not a fan of screen protector, but for now I'll keep it on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
I got the iSmooth ones.. highly recommended! It has 3 cutouts and is a perfect fit all the way to the edges. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BigOkie:
I ordered some of the iSmooth but when they arrived they were in bad shape. The USPS creased the envelope and rendered all three useless. I chalked it up as lost. When I made my sellers remarks, within an hour a rep from Jungle Sales (the vendor that provided the protectors via Amazon) had emailed me to let me know replacements were on the way.

Many companies wouldn't have replaced those free of charge. They may have just got a customer and then some via word of mouth.

Now I have to improve my screen protector application skills (which pretty much suck). :cyclops:

Add Tech Armor to the list.

I've used Tech Armor HD before and they have been absolutely GREAT!!!!!!... I was using xtremeguard and switched to Tech Armor HD.. oh my god the difference was night and day.. I fell in love with my N4 screen all over again.

Sadly the cheap price of the guards reeled me in again, and I know for sure they will only be on for about a month max before I get fed up.

But you guys NEED to give Tech Armor a try. I would recommend them to everybody.

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------

Forgot to mention that the main reason I had to get the guards for the n5 was to use the back protector with a hard clear back case so that it keeps the hard case from scratching the stunning back of the N5

10 bucks for a screen protector and case from Spigen on Amazon. The case is solid, much like my Galaxy S4 Case I loved from Rocketfish, has a clear back and black TPU bumper style around the outside. The screen protector is the crystal, and while it is a fingerprint magnet, it was easy to put down and is really nice. I got it down and in place with no lint or bubbles extremely easily.

For those in the UK interested in buying a matte screen protector, I highly recommend this product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMAR®-Prot...1-1-catcorr&keywords=Samar+anti+glare+nexus+5

Very highly quality even disregarding the price. I've used matte protectors from the likes of MediaDevil, SGP, etc and I honestly can't tell the difference with this one.

It's incredibly cheap (I got it when it was even cheaper, £1 delivered!) and you get 6 screen protectors. I've attached some pics, will add more later. Sorry for the quality, took it with an iPhone 5 :p

[Nexus 5 Accessories] 3DSammy:
I've been using the "Free Premium Japanese Screen Protector" that came with the Spigen ULTRA Hybrid case. I don't like this screen protector as it is the worst finger print magnet I've ever seen. I've used screen protectors all the way back to my palm pilot days and currently on my Nexus 10 but this one is the worst for finger prints.

The only positives were that it is a perfect fit and was very easy to apply. I had just finished applying a Tech Armor screen protector on Nexus 4 for a family member and that one was a poor fit and a bear to apply. I'm now in the market to replace my free protector but at least I like case so am not complaining too much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Laggalot:
is it better to apply the free one that comes with the spigen case in a moist room? I am very afraid that I mess up and end up having to order a new one!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] fergadeth:
I just received 3x Anker nexus 5 screen protectors from amazon, i paid £4.99 for them which i thought was a class price

really nice, glass like feel to them, almost like there is no film on the screen at all

just thoguht i'd share with the group

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-D...r=1-1&keywords=anker+nexus+5+screen+protector

they also come in a matte variety for folk who are into that.

my only criticism is that the application has to be done from the bottom of the screen upwards, due to the configuration of the protective layers, but it is still possible to get a good fit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
Yes.

I went through about 3x GLAS SPIGEN screens (I kept telling Amazon they arrived damaged so thankfully it wasn't that expensive.. I did pay for a couple though because I ended up switching from the .tr to the .t version)

I ran the shower as hot as it could get for about 10 minutes, went in quickly and shut the door, I had a box with everything set up ready on it - phone, protector, alcohol wipe, and the screen was already covered with a throwaway film protector. I took that off, which hopefully pulled most lint with it, gave the screen a few quick cleans with the alcohol wipe - I kept noticing 1 or 2 pieces of lint on the screen after wiping that I had to keep pulling off.

Eventually when I was happy and couldnt' see any lint I put the protector on. I still ****ed it up and got it on slightly at an angle, which it is still at now. I got some bubbles in the top-right corner, luckily it's not big enough to go into the screen area. I'm thinking I might try lifting it up slightly and giving the area a wipe with isopropyl alcohol and seeing if it sticks down and resolves the bubbles - or I might just make it worse and ruin /another/ screen.

Aside from being a pain to get on without issues (The first one I had went on PERFECTLY, because I still had not removed the stock plastic film from the screen since opening the N5's box, so I took that off and put the first screen on and had no lint or bubbles and it was perfect, but the GLAS .tr one doesn't fit that well with the Armor case, so I wanted to switch, cue endless problems applying them...)

Anyway aside from the issues applying them, they're better than the screen alone. Ignoring the whole protection aspect, it just makes using the touch screen easier somehow, it feels more responsive and 'tighter', and it's a lot less prone to fingerprint smudges which are annoying as hell, so you aren't constantly wiping it clean.

They're expensive, so if you **** up applying it, then that sucks, but I think they're worth it. I have only tried the flimsy type protectors aside from these ones so I don't know how other brands compare.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ynrozturk:
I just put the one that came with my Spigen Neo Hybrid. To my amazement, I managed to put it on flawlessly, without any bubbles or lint or anything like that. I normally really suck at putting on screen protectors.

I don't really like the way it feels and it is indeed a lot of finger print cleaning, but it's doing a fine job of protecting the screen so far so I'm happy. I would like to try a glass one, but I'm scared that I'll just mess it up as they're pretty expensive.
