I surely didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, but truth is,

G2 is feminine looking to me.

I have two N4s, neither looks lady like, even with the glitter backing.

The G2 does and other then stupid volume on back is why I don't own one, oh that ugly skinned gui didn't help either.

My opinion to have as well as express it in the N5 forums.

Glad I'm not in other forms causing grief but my own.

The thread is flame bait imo.

Well for the answer you gave me before, your the one with no arguments, you look like a fanboy because, oh it doesn't lag out of the box that's it, plus your getting upset, childish behaviour. ;). Nexus 5 has way more marketing than the G2. Does that make it a better phone? I presented facts not just arguments, in case you didn't read what i posted. ;) oh you have kit kat and the nexus doesn't lag. Offcourse it lag's after a while like ALL the android phones! That's a fact! Unless you install a custom ROM. As i said before, no bloatware and not much wakeupclocks will make your phone better, stop the crying this a place to share ideas and point's of view. You like your N5, good for you, i like my G2, good for me. I'm sharing MY OPINION, not saying you have to like it or agree please, be an adult present facts instead of acting like a fanboy.

Share the looove ;)

Did you read my review about both phones???what i said??

I said that the G2 its better in almost everything,but in screen and performance i think that the N5 its better,and its a FACT that my G2 was laggy a day after i started to use,and my N5 dont,thats it...if you want to make a story of it my pleasure or you can just accept what happened to me.

here its a forum everyone have opinions mine is that and im not a fanboy because of it,and the prove is that i tried the G2 before,btw did you have the N5?

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] Dedzdedz:
I didn't but i tried before buying the G2. After reading reviews online and watching youtube videos i realised there's not much difference apart from software issues on the G2. So i did root the phone and i have the G2's stock firmware without bloatware because i do like the UI. But that's me! Only saying, i knew i could make this phone very special, fast, fluid. That's how i am, i enjoy being diferent. I do have a friend with a N5 and he cried after i did all the tweaking. So now he's gonna root and tweak.

The point here is no matter what phone i buy i will allways "root it to my taste". It's not a matter of brand, and hopefully you will understand what i'm saying and you won't take it personal.

Good luck with the N5, it is a great phone aswell ;).

Oh my god... you never had a N5, come here and telling that "in your experience G2 is better than N5"....

Well, noone cares how you love your phone, this thread was opened from a person that HAVE BOTH the terminals and is telling what the differences between the two are.

Get a N5, keep him for some month (so you can prove that it "lags like all the other android phones after some time") and then you can talk based on "personal experiences"...
[Nexus 5 General] :
Re,

It's all the same thing with these comparison threads, at a time they deviate because "xx have seen the G2", "xy have seen the N5", "xy used one or the other for 5 minutes" and so on... and some users makes a biased feedback only on one thing without having both devices side by side (like the last pages only based on which one lag more than the other. Ok it's a comparison point but...:

Like I said I have no lags with my G2 (the only time I had lags was with Xposed stuff)... But the most important thing to note that it depends of too many factors if and why xx devices lag or not compared to yy device, this is endless because all the users have different perceptions, settings, combination of different kernels and roms for both devices (and Android version)...

It's like for the screen, we have all a different perception, say xx screen is horrible is subjective, it's like for the UI and so on... We not have all the same perception for eveything. And yes personal experience is good for feedback but not to use for a "better-perfect" advice than another.

Even if I made a little feedback here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48196967&postcount=324, it's my feedback and after over a month with both I think my advice have been changed a little...

And right now I have always both and I always use both everyday, like some users here too, but it seems like not some others... The last pages are not really contructives nor maybe objectives feedbacks...

But at least I can continue to compare both, like some others here but not like some anothers :laugh:

And maybe these kind of threads have a better place in a more "neutral" section.

Even the OP is not still present here...

It is, but when you root about 10 android phones a week you get to know stuff and you play with them. So as i said and i keep saying. It is my personal opinion, i don't mind you guys making jokes, it doesn't affect me at all :). I don't remember saying the G2 is better than the N5. I said that in my personal opinion and what i like the G2 is better for myself. Hikarugo don't take it personal please :)

Actually hows the battery on the nexus 5 compared to the g2?

Here is my Screen time for my day and 51% Battery left
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
What a beautiful sight :D

Crazy how much better the G2 battery does. I know it's a bigger battery but it gives much more battery life with what its got. Figure you have used half you battery and have well over 4 hours. Even if the G2 had the same size battery as the n5 it would still do much better than the n5. You would think that the G2 not being aosp and a bigger screen would get bad battery but it doesn't it gets great battery. Not that the n5 is any slouch my n5 gets 5 hours sot easy which it's really good for a 2300mah battery. Just wish it could maximize the battery as good as the G2 does which has a bigger screen and no aosp and only 700mah more battery but gets 8 hours sot easily.

[Nexus 5 General] Jishnu Sur™:
Hey man Get what you want! I have the Nexus 5, and my friends here have G2 as well ! I loved the G2 sooooo much, until I got my Nexus 5!

Its like deciding between your 2 hands nothing else.

Get what you want to! BTW, Nexus 5 is LAGLESS! I get a average of 5.5 to 6 hours SOT with 3G,wifi and over 2 days standby on stock ROM and stock Kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] gummybear00:
Returned my Nexus 5 a few days ago and the LG G2 just arrived! There is a lot of preloaded bloatware from AT&T, nothing that some rooting or custom roms won't easily fix. Not sure why Nexus people always complain about bloatware. You're supposed to be smart/knowledgeable enough to know how to eliminate them. Bloatware is nothing more than a minor temporary inconvenience, not a weakness for any device.

The built in remote app is way cool as the baby around the house always misplaces it.

The G2's screen's advertisement is kind of a lie. The bevel is tiny, but the screen itself has a black bevel inside the bevel. So basically there's 2 bevels and the LED screen's not as big as the picture suggests. This is more noticeable with a white phone. On a black G2, the front is black and the bevel is black so you won't notice anything. Still it's 5.2 inches vs Nexus's 4.95 inches.

Secondly, the G2's screen looks way premium compared to the Nexus 5's cheap led backlit screen. The Nexus 5's screen looks crappy from any angle with the white backlit led bleeding all over the screen. This is not the case with the G2. Nexus 5 screen = 2/5 and looks cheap. G2's screen = 5/5 and looks premium.

Other than that everything's pretty snappy overall. Don't really need to use the back buttons as doubletap2wake/sleep is way cool. Using Touch Control for slide2wake drained 2-3% battery/hour on my Nexus 5, we'll see how the G2 does with its built in doubletap2wake.

Overall I'm glad I got rid of the cheap plastically, slippery, ugly screen white Nexus 5 and got a solid premium product with the G2.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:

Cause someone needs to justify their pricey purchase in print.

Though the sympathy won't be found here, mostly we don't care if G2 is better, if nexus owners did they'd be in the G2 forums.

People just show boating.

I still think the G2 is overly shiny(hyperglaze) and girly looking.

However I'll only say that in the nexus forums where I have a reason to be as I own a few. Not in opposing phone forum running down their phone causing trouble for the owners of it like what's going on here.

You know it, we know it.

Perpetuate on.

Enjoy carrier iq sucking away at that extra battery. You could of course flash an international based Rom but your d800 will no longer receive mms from iPhones. The other option is to root and disable it.The g2 is a great phone as is the nexus 5, it all comes down to personal preference. I sold my g2 today for 400 bucks and ordered the 32gb n5. For me a clean ui and faster updates are more important than knock knock knock knock on and the other things the g2 has. I will miss the led notification on the back of the phone and the LG g3 is set to release in march. I have my gpad for games and my nexus for my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] thebehemoth73:
I disable carrier is to get amazing battery life from my g2..Honestly I have never experienced lag, but there is a lot of bloatware from att..I believe though that the stock rom for the LG g2 is as stable as it comes... I haven't never experienced a force close or reboot and I have had this phone for 2 months.
[Nexus 5 General] gnanava:
Nexus 5 screen Is too small for me and camera quality sucks...
[Nexus 5 General] robstunner:
One of the things I like about the nexus 5 is that there won't be a better nexus coming out in 6 months like many of these manufacturers do. They are already talking about the G3 coming out in a few months on top of the G Flex and many of you have only had the G2 for a few weeks or months. I hate that they do this and especially in LGs case because they are so piss poor with updates (lg g pro is STILL on 4.1.2). Rooting and ROMs are another story but that just adds to the whole left behind feeling your bound to get with an LG phone. The nexus 5 won't be superseded until late this year again with another nexus and the way it seems, nexus devices seem to hold value a little better than normal LG devices too.

I'm not sure if you follow phone releases but this isn't true. Manufacturers atm release one blockbuster phone per year. The g2 came out roughly a year after the g1 one, and we'd expect the same this year also, just like the gs5 will be a year after its predecessor. You're always bound to get leaks and speculation about release date. But it's not since the days of HTC sensation xe/xl/+/ armageddon edition have manufacturers released quite clearly sequel phone in quick succession, months after original release.
[Nexus 5 General] robstunner:
Your right it's better, but it's still one nexus once a year. No s4 / s4a / s4 zoom / s4 mini / note 3 / note 3 mini. HTC has done better starting with the One, while lg had the lg og / og pro / g flex / and soon whatever the d830 is.

Wow, people are obsessed with battery life. I get about 5hrs screen time on my N5. Perfectly happy with that. I bring my charger to work. At 50% or so sometimes I'll top up midway through the day. The Nexus charges pretty damn fast. Faster then my wife's iPhone 5S. I spend a lot of time in my truck as well and have a car charger. I couldn't care less about stretching battery screen time to the max. I absolutely love my N5. Crazy fast phone.
[Nexus 5 General] hasenbein1966:
Haha, charger to work! Priceless! You don't realize that you yourself brought the best pro-G2 argument with this. Because G2 users don't need to take their chargers with them to work. (Aside from this, charging the smartphone or using current otherwise for private things is forbidden in some companies.)
[Nexus 5 General] robstunner:
Lol. To each their own, if he can why knock him.
[Nexus 5 General] Dx9:
Who cares if I can. I own two companies so yes I can bring it with me ;). I am on my phone constantly each day and I am up at 4:30 in the morning and already on the road. If I am at 50% at like 2 or 3pm i will maybe top it up if i know i still have alot of work ahead for the day. It doesn't take long at all. People that stretch 2 days without a charge won't cut it for me. I put on about 2000 minutes a month also in talk time. Lots of emails and so on. Totally depends on how you use your phone.

I couldn't care less if the G2 has a bigger battery. The Nexus 5 is a great phone. The battery life is comparable to my old S4 so I am happy with it for sure. Everyone has their opinions and after trying one of my clients G2 I still wouldnt give up my Nexus 5.

Is there a nexus 5 versus G2 in the G2 forums?

I've no reason to look there.

If not, why not?

G2 is top tier, luxury, nexus is not.

It's akin to Cadillac guys comparing to chevette gang to make themselves feel better and chevette guys get to feel run down for their choice, because Cadillac gang does not realize their place to be.

If the best pro-G2 argument is simply that you don't need a charger at work then you can add that to the list of reasons I don't need a G2.

Buttons on the back? Silly.

High gloss plastic like the Galaxy line? Same reason I returned my Note.

The only advantage I see to the G2 is the knock on (I know this can be imitated with custom kernels etc but it's not the same) and picture quality.

Battery life is at the absolute bottom of the list...

I just traded my n5 fir a g2 plus cash. Never used LGs skin before. I do love some features like knock and popup notifications like halo without the annoying bubble. Battery and camera definitely better on the g2 for obvious reasons. Living without 4.4 sucks... and the home screen on the g2 sometimes bugs out and repopulates. Overall I like the G2 better... but could go with either and be happy. Sometimes the extra features the the nexus didn't have come in handy. The G2 is more productive for the business person with better email calendar and task support from outlook. Just miss the slide left for Google now.
