Eh. Just one guy. Both phones are great for different people. G2 for great battery, N5 for kitkat. Simple as that.
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
Because I have a different opinion it's amateurish? My first android phone was the HTC g1 and I've owned at least 12 android phones and every single nexus device other than the nexus one.

After multiple early smooth plastic HTC and Samsung phones, I just fine the shiny plastic easily scratched. I don't really enjoy heavy UI overlays either. It may be my option but I've at least spent a lot of time with sense, touchwiz/nature ui, etc. I've always found stock to be the best other than the new Google experience launcher. It is not technically AOSP but it feels like optimized stock to me.

Getting back to the LG comparison, give me a Google edition lg g2 with a textured back AMD it would likely be close to perfect. The UI put out by OEMs aside from Motorola are just too laggy and cause additional update delays.

My son has the g2. That's the closest copy of touchwiz I've ever seen. He hasn't received the update. So its still jellybean. But if you like it enjoy. My son has had his 9 days but he's taking it back for the n5. He feels the only thing it has going for it over the nexus is battery life. Enjoy your device. ;)

1) I could count six of them. We have plenty. :cool:. Also is USB tethering and that weird lag I had are gone now?

2) Better be late than sorry. We had it before any devices. :)

3) What's the point of saying it? It works on every roms with proper gapps I guess. :D

I had both of the device in hands for some days. My judgement isn't biased by anything. They're both great devices, but I'd rather have a Nexus than the G2.

G2's battery life is better, and the design IMO. That's it. That's the only thing the G2 has better than the N5

And Honnestly, I can hold 2 days with 6 hours SOT without any troubles, so I don't need anything more.
[Nexus 5 General] Paradoxxx:
Yeah were going to be wrecked by the 805 and maybe new tegra.

This is a thread for the n5 to compare to the G2 so anything for either phone is on topic. I own both and they both have there high points but to compare one without the other makes no sense. I've seen people say well I've tried (insert device name) cause my friend has it. Well that doesn't really mean much you really need to use a phone for a week or so to really know how a phone performs. That's why the popular and reputable reviewers use the phone for an extended time before reviewing. In the end we all have our different tastes and needs in a phone. Sad that this thread has turned into the rest where it's a my phone is better and yours sucks thread. This could be a really productive and informative discussion but this is always how these types of threads turn out

They're different phones for different target audiences. The N5 is aimed more at Android enthusiasts (as all Nexus phones are), and the G2 is intended more for mainstream consumers (hence the UI overlay and feature spam). I was actually toying around with the idea of using my Sprint upgrade to get the G2, but coming from the GS4 I didn't want another phone with a slimy plastic back. At the end of the day, I'm happy with my N5 and will probably buy Nexus phones exclusively from now on. To each his own.
[Nexus 5 General] robstunner:
If I can figure out how that guy (another thread) fit a g2 battery in the nexus 5, I'll be in love with this phone. Until then I'll make sure I don't go heavy on usage or play any games.

[Nexus 5 General] gummybear00:
I upgraded to a Nexus 5 from Galaxy Nexus. All the hype about the Nexus 5 is mostly BS. Yes for the 1% of users that flash nightly roms and all kinds of stuff, the Nexus 5 is much more flexible and has more android development. The rest of world doesn't really care. Yes stock android is 5% faster than whatever LG is coming out with. Of course you can still flash other ROMs on the G2 and have similar experiences.

Realistically it doesn't matter. I'm very underwhelmed by this device. My GNex on CM 10.2 is practically the same thing. The only difference is the Nexus 5 runs everything much faster and browser pages don't have to reload because of 2GB ram. I'm basically spending $450 so things load 1 sec faster. I don't play games, wouldn't have the battery life on either device to make it through the day.

The battery life is practically the same between GNex and Nexus 5, and the GNex's battery has been degraded from 1.5 yrs of use. If I turn on Google Now, slide2wake, and other stuff, the battery gets killed all-the-same on both devices. Best hardware, new badass OS = same shyt if I have no battery.

So I'll be returning mine and hope I get a full refund from Google.

The benefits of the G2 are as follows: 30% larger battery life, bigger screen with tiny bevels that look awesome, double tap to wake.

For practical purposes, a bigger battery is >>> most other things. I'll be able to use Google Now, and whatever else I want. The Touch Control app for Nexus 5 drains like 2-3% battery per hour. With the G2 I can use the hardware built-in double tap to wake, which to me is one of the best and most useful features of Android. Actually having to press buttons for stuff are so 2011. Finally with the buttons in the back the bevel and the screen looks awesome.

Most useful feature in a phone: battery lasts.

Most useful Android app I've ever used: slide2wake or doubletap2wake.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
i don't care about the G2 so i'll only comment on the gnex part.

i owned a galaxy nexus and a nexus 4, and according to my setup (it hasn't changed) i get more than 1hr screen on time more on the nexus 5 than i used to with a gnex or nexus 4.

There is a HUGE difference in overall performance between a gnex and a nexus 5, the nexus 4 also kills the gnex in that field. You can actually see the lags and stutters in the gnex, it's not only a 1 sec delay in opening apps as you described it.

Also the combo TI Omap/PowerVR 540 on the gnex cannot be compared to S800/adreno 330.

Camera is night and day. no need to go into details.

Better screen resolution and color representation. Maybe you are satisfied with grey whites and all kinds of tints on your display, for me it was a nightmare. not to mention the oversaturated AMOLED crap, burn in (that my device actually suffered from in less than 6 months despite taking care of it) etc...

LTE connectivity. only US CDMA variants of the gnex supported LTE, and since USA is not the only country in the world, most of us with international versions weren't able to connect to it.

You could've just said the nexus 5 doesn't suit me and i'm returning it and getting a G2 or whatever, but comparing it to a gnex in the way you did only did you bad and to whatever argument points you had.
[Nexus 5 General] DanielDTK:
Well, I'm still thinking about these two phones. I'm a really big fan of Nexus 5 but I've read that G2 isn't worse. The thing I'm afraid of is Nexus battery. But if the battery is enough (I mean 1-2 days) I'll take Nexus 5. Why? Just because it's Nexus and I'm 100% sure with it :) Could anyone provide me his average battery life stats with no charging ? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Henrock11:
I've gotten this from my nexus 5. Usually between 3.5 to 4.25 hours of screen on time and usually 20 to 24+ hours off the charge.
[Nexus 5 General] robstunner:
That's what I get about as well. With Franco kernel. Google now on is always less than 4hrs
[Nexus 5 General] juu666:
That wasn't my experience at all, upgrading from the Galaxy Nexus to N5. The phone seems like it is 5x faster for most things. Battery life is at least 2x as long for me, even on stock compared to custom ROMs & kernals on the GN. The screen resolution and size improvement allows me to view most desktop websites just fine. It was a major, major improvement that I in no way regret.

Perhaps an even bigger difference for me was dumping Sprint and moving to T-Mobile (though the comparison above reflects Sprint on both devices). My typical download speeds on Sprint in Seattle were 20 kbs and now they are routinely about 20 mbs (yes, 1,000X faster). Even in cities with 4G I never once saw more than 2 mbs download speed on Sprint for either device.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
i never get under 5h of screen-on on wifi and under 4h screen-on on mobile data, 24h+ uptime
[Nexus 5 General] JNMM:
Is that underclocked and super low brightness? What is your setup?
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
No i use rooted stock rom + stock kernel.

I use greenify and most of my apps are hibernated, except the ones that use push notifications like whatsapp, gmail ... I have autosync and autobrightness ON.

I don't use google now because most of it's features are not available in my country.

And i have location reporting OFF , but i use the gps frequently when mountain biking or running

From my analysis of battery drain, google now is the biggest culprit (i used to keep it ON back in the galaxy nexus days)

Of course facebook and similar bad written apps are problematic, and there's where greenify comes to play

Shazam is one of the apps that unnecessarily asks for location, well at least i don't use that feature.

Also foursquare, i do manual check-ins, so it's greenified too.

Viber, nimbuzz and similar apps very frequently wake the phone to do contact syncs, so turning that option off in the account settings can be helpful, and performing manual syncs every now and then in case you've added new contacts...

And basically whatever app you install go into the settings of that app and turn off stuff that you don't use. People have the habit of installing a lot of things and never check the in-app settings.

It's all about the way you set up and use your phone. My goal is to be always connected to the internet, either wifi or mobile data, i also want to be able to receive messages through whatsapp and voip calls. As already stated apps like facebook, foursquare etc.. I check manually when i want. I stream a lot of music on wifi through gmusic, but i also have about 3GB of offline music that i listen to through poweramp. I read a lot of news, xda app, i also have a homescreen widget with my news feed. And of course a weather widget (eye in sky app)- refreshes every 6h.

Oh and i use the camera a lot, a few shots daily is a minimum.

So as you see, for my type od use the 2300mAh battery is good enough, of course a 3000mAh would've been even better. For people who game a lot, or who just like to keep everything running without having to worry about battery consumption, well the nexus 5 isn't maybe the best choice, but that doesn't give them the right to come here and bash it. Unlike iphones, android phones are not a one size fits all, if you're not satisfied with one, move on to the other, as simple as it is.
[Nexus 5 General] ghozta:
^^ having owned a G2 and now a nexus 5 as my daily driver, I can tell you that the screen on the N5 is better than the G2. Colors are more saturated on the G2, however the screen on the N5 is crisper and once a custom kernel is applied that has a color fix or a cooler color setting it does indeed beat the G2. Also the brightness levels on the N5 destroy the G2. 15% brightness on the N5 compared to the G2 is like night and day.
[Nexus 5 General] InfectedSoap:
I have a Nexus 5 and I get a little over 5 hours SOT using stock rom and franco.kernel while my girlfriend has a G2 and her usage habits are fairly similar to mine and she can get anywhere from 6-8 hours SOT using everything stock. I'm telling you that G2 is a freaking beast when it comes to battery life but abandoning the Nexus experience in favor of a couple hours more SOT is not worth it IMO.

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

I definitely agree with this. The G2's screen is crisp and has pretty nice colours but using franco.kernel together with mag01's colour settings on the Nexus 5 beats the G2's screen out of the park.
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
G2 has better display for sure, even with all.ur hacks it cant beat the g2 screen.

Nexus 5 uses a cheap JDI Panel with low Contrast ratio
[Nexus 5 General] biscuitownz:
When I bought the n4 I gave my gnex to my dad. Then I bought the n5, I can tell you that the gnex is something I wouldn't even want to use anymore.

For one, it's horribly slow and laggy even on the home screen, of course if you are used to it you won't really notice it.

I also didn't like the OLED display as much, there was the problem with burn in and the colors being over saturated.

IMO, even the n4 was a nice upgrade from the gnex. Now with the n5, it's not a huge upgrade from the n4, but it's an upgrade overall.
[Nexus 5 General] EarlZ:
Its no secret that the G2 is better in all aspects aside from the software but even then that could just be a personal preference on the software end, still I am very happy with my nexus 5 my only complaint now is the terrible battery life on the device probably because I came from a Galaxy Note 2.. playing PVZ2 on that device for 2hrs wont even bring the battery down to 80% while on the N5 its gonna be around 60% after 2hrs,
[Nexus 5 General] hasenbein1966:
Do the N5 display fixes fix the too low gamma of the display? Because, that is the main problem of the N5 display, not the colours.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
You can have the best hardware ever built, but without a suitable and optimized software that hardware means nothing. A lot of devices are only strong on paper.

The "latest and greatest hardware = best device on the market" is a typical samsung mentality, and yet all their phones (every single F-ing one of them) lag like hell. It always saddens me when i see a fellow android guy adopting that mentality (not talking about you mate, just in general). :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] Dedzdedz:
I got my LG G2 two days ago, first thing i did, rooted the phone, afterwards installed twrp, and started looking for a Custom ROM. I installed CM11 and it was so ugly, so i went back to the lg stock ROM. Finally i found the right thing for me, the same LG G2 ROM without bloatware... it's called Whorship and it's great, i am getting 1GB of free RAM, plus i did underclock the CPU to 1738mhz so i could get a bit more of battery usage, it's fluid, very fast, no stupid animations or bloatware. Even after i did the underclock i made profiles with Set CPU, so when the screen is off the phone's at 960mhz, saving more battery :). I never had a Nexus 5, but IN MY PERSONAL opinion the N5 is overrated. Once again it's my personal opinion. First post here. Thank you XDA!

I had the G2 and now i have the N5,my honest comparison:

Screen:The G2 have a gorgeous screen but still i prefer the N5,its brighter!

Speaker:G2 was slightly better.

Call quality:Same

Signal:Don't have LTE in my country and 3G was the same signal in both

Camera:G2 its better for sure,but its not important to me.

Battery:

G2-In stock rom the G2 crush the N5 i used like(GPS ON,waze for an hour,soundcloud streaming for 2 hours,one hour call,3 hours SOT and still had 50% by the end of the day)but when i puted an AOSP ROM i saw just 25-30% more battery than my N5.

N5-i had a N4 and because of that i was scared how will be the N5 battery,but i have 20-25% more battery than my N4 by the end of the day.

Software/Performance:

G2-In stock rom i was disappointed,a smartphone top of the line and still lag on the dialer and many others app,multitasking was laggy too,and yes i rooted and remove all the junkie but still had lags.In aosp the performance was a LOT better but battery for me was a lot worse than stock rom.

N5-Don't need to review,its simply BLAZING FAST :o:o don't lag at all,multitasking work as it should!

So i was in the same position that a lot of you were,it took me like 2-3 weeks to decide which phone should i buy,i took the G2 first because i wanted more battery,but i decided to sell the G2 and buy the N5 when i saw that in stock rom my battery was awesome but performance was a little bit laggy,and in aosp performance was awesome but battery was ok,and i need to say that im in love with my N5 32 GB white,its just a beauty and blazing fast,and battery its better that what i thought it will be.

Basically:

Awesome battery and a nice camera:G2

Blazing fast,aosp rom,latest google updates and a beautiful device:N5

Hit thanks if i helped you!:silly:
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I have both and have had both for a long time. IMHO the G2 is the superior phone and overall experience. I love nexus and have had many nexus phones and tablets. Nexus is the best for one thing and that is speed. They are easily the fastest phone or tablets out. But in the end the g2 isn't to much slower and is way more interesting. The thing about the nexus brand is it's full of fanboys who will say it's the best phone no matter what. To me aosp or the nexus variation of aosp is boring. Its fun to use but to use it every day and you are just missing out on all the features that u could be using on other phones. This is all just my opinion so I hope nobody gets their big boy undies in a bunch because I prefer my g2 over my n5 (because that seems to happen a lot in this thread). All this is coming again from someone who has had a n5 since the Monday after the launch on the 31st and had a G2 a couple weeks later so I'm not taking out of ignorance I'm talking from experience. We all have different tastes in phones and that's what's great about android. All the options we have unlike a certain fruit named os :p If I had to choice just one I'd be really sad because I love my n5 but the g2 is just the superior phone all around.

If you say so, i like women so i don't mind carrying one in my pocket. But for those that keep talking about the G2 lagging... seriously out of the box most android phones lag after a while, that's why there are custom ROM's available, so you can make your perfect phone. See the phone i had before was a lag free phone, the iphone 5, but the screen size and the iOS made me change to android. Has i said, install a custom ROM, and you will see.

Whatever ;) LG G2 full of bloatware it does lag after a while, and from what i've heard the N5 does lag after a while aswell even without bloatware. It's because of the wakeup clock's and all that kind of unusefull system stuff. Why lie? I think the N5 it's a great phone, but once again in MY PERSONAL opinion LG G2 is better for me. Bigger screen, bigger battery, tiny bezzels. I can make my G2 the same as your N5. It's a matter of software mate. There's a bigger CPU, so with STOCK ANDROID i get what you get or even better. You sound like the iPhone fanboys, it's a matter of taste, your N5 it's an LG but with a Nexus logo! I could make a video and post a link here so you could see it. But there's no point because you wouldn't care. A fanboy will allways be a fanboy.

for those who want to oversaturate their N5 display like that on the G2 , here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsEOMC9NPyo , see the difference at 3:50 .

I like to keep my display's colors realistic, also, being brighter and giving better performance outside in daylight is something i consider a big feature of this phone. I'd sacrifice viewing angles for that higher brightness anytime.

oh, on a side note, a device (G2 obviously) with an S800 beast SoC, that still needs tweaks and "bloatware removed" to stop it from lagging is just plain stupid to me.

Not to mention, almost 3 months have passed and still no official KitKat for any OEM branded device (excluding Motorola). Sad.
