[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexktz:
The G2 is a fantastic product, but it's not £170 more fantastic.

I really liked the button placement as I cycle everywhere and adjusting volume has always been a pain whilst on the bike, but with the G2 I could do it even with gloves on! The G2 has two major points against it,

1) LGs skin - it's not a patch on Sense (which is excellent on the HTC ONE) and significantly cheapens the experience

2) Noone is buying it because of the N5 - so there aren't any ROMs coming (I enjoy the stock android experience and usually run Cyanogenmod, this doesn't look like a reality anytime soon on the G2).

The G2 battery is wonderful though lasting me a full 48 hours without issue. My S4 is usually gasping at the end of each day, I use my phone A LOT. Maybe 6-8 hours of screen on time. I'm resigned to having to buy an Anker battery pack for the N5 and just sling it in my backpack, no biggy - but hopefully once the new phone'ness has worn off I'll be able to get a full work day and then topup when I get in.

A mod to resize the on screen menu buttons can't come soon enough for the N5 though, they gobble up a LOT of space.

The N5 is my fav to hold and look at, prefer it even the HTC One. Very happy customer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
I wrestled with the N5 vs G2 vs Note 3 in my head over the past few weeks. and what you mention here is really what it boils down to(for me). the price difference was almost enough to sway me to the N5 alone, but then when you talk about bloatware on top of all that. the N5 wins by a mile.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanX7:
How are the viewing angles? I know the Nexus 4's were pretty bad. That's one thing I miss about from my Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Could you do a comparison of the noise cancellation on the three phones? Perhaps turn up some music and then record yourself a voicemail message on each phone and see how much they cancel out the background sound, when you play the messages back?

Both the S4 and the G2 have Audience's noise cancellation chip (Earsmart), which is much better than anything else out there. It was in the Nexus One, but no subsequent Nexus devices. I'm hoping it will be in the Nexus 5, since the G2 has it, but I kind of suspect it won't be there (to save money). Anyway, a comparison of how the noise cancellation works would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Huh? Did you look at the XDA section for the G2. There's already Cyanogenmod for the G2, as well as Vanir. There's also unofficial versions of Paranoid Android, CarbonRom, BeanStalk, P.A.C., and AOKP. And that's just in the Original Android Development section. There's lots of ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexktz:
Charging results

I let all the phones run down overnight to 0% using the battery drain app from Play store. I then used the charger and cable that came with each device, here are the results - interesting test.

N5 - 2,300mah battery, 5.6V / 1.2A charger

S4 - 2,600mah battery, 5.0V / 2.0A charger

G2 - 3,000mah battery, 5.0V / 1.8A charger
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Could you do a drop test for all three? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexktz:
I'll do it later :p

Anyway, I went for a nice walk around Norwich this morning with my dog and took several photos with each device. I've uploaded them to google+ and the results are here now for you to see.

Nexus 5

LG G2

Galaxy S4

The results are really fairly evenly matched, even in the couple of shots that I took in low light last night there's very little to tell between the cameras.

Nice job on the N5 google.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
Alex, thanks for doing this. Really importantly, do you have any opinions on the screen in comparison to the lg g2 or any other? It's the most important thing to me - I'm specifically talking about colour saturation/white balance as this was an issue on the not very well calibrated nexus 4.

Is it washed out? Or is it as good as the g2? Seem to be getting mixed opinions from all sources. Best way would be to turn both phones up to max brightness and google an image of some kind (yellows a good test colour) onto both to compare.

Any thoughts on this are desired and very welcome!

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexktz:
The G2 screen is much better, clearer and the colours 'pop' more.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlexiPack:
Thanks for the photos. Interesting results. I've done some side by side comparisons between the Nexus 5 & S4 at 100% Crop. To me there's little difference. Perhaps the S4 resolves a touch more detail due to it's higher megapixel count but I also think the the S4 applies too much sharpening. The Nexus 5 is a bit more reserved with the sharpening which I'm pleased to see as it will allowed a bit more latitude with post processing. There is a touch of noise and artifacts in the sky of the Nexus 5 photo but remember these are viewed at 100%.

Note - these screen captures were made with the windows print screen key so the colour profiles will have been stripped. So don't pay too much attention to the colours.

Thanks for taking your time taking photos. It seems the camera is mediocre. It's an improvement over the N4 but not enough for me to buy the N5. Boo.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlexiPack:
A couple of more comparisons between the N5 & S4. Look at the detail in the grass on the N5 photo. I much prefer the N5 results.

What's up everyone I currently have a Galaxy S4 for Verizon and unfortunately it came stock with ME7 :( . Im tired of verizon and there restrictions and I miss running a CFW and having a root. Im more then likely going to T-Mobile and getting Unlimited Data. The 2 phones on the top of my list are the Lg g2 and this New Nexus 5. I love both phones but I do like the stock android from a Nexus. I would love to hear your suggestions even if it isnt a phone thats not on my list. In a sense im looking for a new phone to stick with for a good amount of time. Thanks for any advice and help in advance! :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simba501:
Nexus 5, and it's not close.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubelBoom:
I was in the same dilemma.

I decided to go for the Nexus 5 because its a Nexus.

The main difference in hardware between the two for me is the screen size. I wanted the bigger screen on the G2.

But I decided I want to pay less and get a device with better software :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewer56lol:
The nexus is pure stock android which is fully stable :).

On benchmarks it benches better than the G2 and is much cheaper.

If you love stock android then the Nexus 5 is the greatest phone you can currently get.

Tip:

Also don't try to use the term CFW (Custom Firmware), people on xda won't usually know it, use the word ROM (Read Only Memory).

I find this is actually funny because we have root in them and we can make everything read-write

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouieeeV:
So theres no external SD Card which I admit does bother me just because the more space the better. I dont umderstand why Google didnt put one in the Nexus 5... :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbridgman:
Google never allows sd cards in the nexus devices. They never will. They say they are too slow for a top end type device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouieeeV:
Yea I guess ill have tp get the 32 GB version so I never feel limited for space :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
The G2 has the screen size, battery and camera advantages which is not something to overlook, if they were closely priced I'd go for the G2. Now if you can get some dough off due to contract extension and plan to stay with your carrier, the G2 can still be an attractive offer. Overall though, buying both unlocked and the Nexus 5 is just so awesomely priced. So it's a matter of looking at your options.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbridgman:
That is what I got. I have a 64gb card in my sgs3, so it will be hard, but the thing that makes it worth it, is how easy it is to dev/hack.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miamidesigner:
Haha, i was on the same boat. I love the G2 Screen and the lack of bezel. Overall the decision came down to software and speed. I always go with a custom ROM cause i like stock, (yes u can do this on the g2) but the fact that i will be getting the latest and greatest updates first is a huge + for me. Thus why i decided on the Nexus.

I say go Nexus!.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouieeeV:
Nexus is looking like a go especially with 4g and unlimited data on T-Mobile sounds pretty good to me so far :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
How you can be a recognized contributor and come out with such a poor statement is quite scary...

Anyway it is VERY close.

The G2 has a bigger screen, yet only a fraction larger. (~1mm all around). And weigh's in negligible over the N5 yet has a 3000mah battery instead of 2300. Then it has a 13mp camera with the same tech as the 8mp Nexus 5.

The Nexus 5 wins in price (for most, some countries not so much), Software Support (I won't say software because the LG Software is actually pretty smooth on the G2 and the feature set isn't bad, but of course not KiKat, yet).

They share the same CPU/GPU/Ram. The Nexus 5 will likely be quicker due to KitKat/AOSP, but it will only be a matter of weeks and the G2 will have that also so if having it first is important to you, then again N5.

They also share the same radios/spectrums/etc.. so N5 is unlocked vs LG G2 probably/possibly being locked to one carrier. Important factor for some.

Clearly I don't think one is a "winner", I have the G2, and I pre-ordered the N5. I want to check out KitKat and see how it performs/battery life with only 2300mah but KitKat optimized. I plan to pick the winner (for me) once I have them side by side for a while.

Either way, they are most CERTAINLY close. The question is (in most markets) is ~$150-200 worth a bigger screen/battery/camera and the loss of immediate updates/better rom development. In that case, for most, the answer seems to be no.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simba501:
Precisely why it's not close. Price and software development.

While the G2 will likely have developers to create some AOSP goodness for it, the lifespan of Nexus devices is always considerably longer than others. AOSP never runs as smoothly, with little bugs, as it does on actual Google devices.

If you're looking at the hardware, with respect to no other factors, then it is close. Otherwise, no.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
Absolutely, if your only importance is ROM's and having the latest software first, or the longest amount of support for updates, then it is not close.

Price is personal. I have absolutely no problem spending the extra $150 if it means better battery life. The G2 is a battery monster, so I expect to be disappointed by the N5, but I absolutely hope I am wrong. Also in some countries the price is almost negligible. Plus if you have an upgrade and stick with the same carrier anyway, you can have the G2 for $150-200 vs $440 (32gb vs 32gb), so that is another factor. A lot goes in to play for this. Just simply saying it is cheaper is not enough.

When comparing ALL factors though, I stand by my previous statements. Personally I wouldn't let development allow me to be hooked to only owning a Nexus but that is absolutely the key factor for some people, I get that. Battery life is a huge importance to me and until I can see how it lasts with my own eyes I take the specs with a truckload of salt. With a 30% less battery size on the same hardware KitKat is going to have to do some pretty superb savings to keep it close.

If you looked at hardware specs only and no other factors, it is NOT close. The G2 wins hands down if you take out software and price, but that would be just plain silly.

In case anyone misinterprets my statements, I am not saying I think one is better than the other. I think both have their +'s and personally I don't find either a clear winner. That is all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bray424:
While I'm still going with the N5 for the rom support, Sprint is selling the N5 for $149 and the G2 for $99 (both with 2 year contracts), so the G2 actually wins the price debate.

Edit: whoops had too many tabs open and got this thread confused with one that was just for Sprint. Still, I imagine TMo will sell the G2 for either the same price or less than the N5 to stay competitive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevkid:
If usbOTG is present in the N5 then you can simply attach a microsd card to a microsd to USB to the usbOTG adapter (too many adapters) or simply a flashdrive. While it may be a pain to carry around it will at least extend the capacity.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
150 dollars for an extra 700mAh is just not worth it in my opinion. im enjoying a 15,000mAh power bank that i got for 50 bucks and will put the extra 100 dollars toward a new phone in 2-4 years
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
Well if that were the only factor that is a pretty harsh bargain for sure but 700mah in this case IS 30% larger. That is not small. You also get 13mp vs 8 and .2" bigger screen. Again not that I think it is a winning decision either, tough call and personal preference. I just think it is worth more consideration than people are giving.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
meh, you're in the heart of public android development. of course people here are going to side with a Nexus device. not that people here aren't considering the specs, but we put more of an emphasis on the pure android experience.

i feel the same way about people here complaining about no sd slot. this is just not the place to voice that opinion, it will not bring them any sympathy. this is not a consumer forum
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
haha too funny, I agree 100%. SD and Removable battery mean 0 to me, always have.

But yeah I get it :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you are so convinced yourself, why did you ordered the Nexus 5 while already having the G2? Except for the fact that you have too much money to spend maybe?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
Think I already answered it, but I will give more details to be clear.

Multiple factors. I love trying new phones, I am a junky when it comes to them. Money is negligible as you don't lose that much money in resale if I decide not to keep the N5 and I get a large portion of my N5 money back if I sell the G2. Then I wanted to try KitKat and see how the N5 does on 2300mah with the same specs, and see the build quality of the N5 for myself etc.. Before having them in hand I have Kitkat/aosp/updates vs Battery/screen/camera. I want to compare build quality, feel in hand, real life performance, cell strength, etc..

Then if you read all my posts, you will see I have stated multiple times that I am not convinced either is a clear winner. I want to try them side by side for myself and pick which one I like better.
