[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with all these points here. I MUCH prefer the screen on the Moto X to the one on the N5. I get that colors may be more accurate on the N5 but I'm not a photographer and my phone isn't supposed to be a reference monitor. The Moto X's screen just pops and its black levels are ridiculous. It's absolutely gorgeous and it is very difficult to use the N5 next to the Moto X. Lets not forget about the fact that the amoled technology allows for active notifications which are hands down the best thing since sliced bread. When not comparing it directly to the Moto X's screen, the N5's is passable, but its bad black levels and poor viewing angles are somethings that will take me a while to get used to.

I also agree about the speed. Anybody who makes the claim that the X uses outdated tech has no clue. It has krait 300 cores which are the same ones that are in the S600 which was this years main flagship SoC. Now it's not an S800, but it is current tech and the way Moto designed it with its extra "contextual computing" cores makes it MORE advanced than basic S600s. The fact that its dual core setup runs circles around the quad core that's in the GS4 and HTC One speaks volumes about optimization vs. raw power. I'm not talking about BS benchmarks here, I am talking about actual use because that is what matters. Side by side with the N5 there is no noticeable speed difference and both phones are equally smooth and lag free. I will say this though, for gaming the N5 is an absolute beast. The X handles gaming well too with its adreno 320 only having to deal with a 720p screen, but man this N5 might be the ultimate gaming phone thus far (Note 3 is too big for my liking). I've hidden my navbar so I game on it full screen. NOVA3, MW4, and NFS:MW are friggin unreal on this thing. If gaming is your primary concern, the N5 is definitely the way to go.

Cameras are a wash for me because I don't take many pictures. They are both acceptable to me. Can't say which one is better because I don't know. I like the fact that the N5 has OIS, but mainly because it adds extra bragging rights. No clue if it actually helps or not.

The biggest thing for me between these two phones besides the screen is the feel. Where the N5 literally feels like a hollow store mockup to me, the X feels like a solid premium device. Its contours make it hands down the nicest feeling device in hand that I have ever used. The N5 at first felt very uncomfortable to hold but as I get used to it more and more I am starting to like the way it feels as well. I definitely like the way it feels in hand better than my old HTC One and GS4 Active, just not better than the Moto X. There is nothing that feels like a Moto X.

Just to clarify, I really do like the N5. It has been growing on me since I got it the other day. It's just hard for me to use it when I have a Moto X sitting right here too. Both are great devices, they both have their own merits, but for me the Moto X is still king. It's really the screen that kills it the most for me with the N5. If LG used a screen as nice as say the HTC One's, I might be singing a completely different tune here. I will definitely be using the N5 whenever I want to play a graphically intensive game though, because holy sh!t it handles them like a boss. You really can't go wrong with either phone, I think they are the two best phone currently available.
