Nexus 5 is one of the most minimalistic and beautiful phones I have ever had - its just amazing. And for the money you got beast at that time - feels like they sold it well under what it cost them. Why can`t they stick with great design, but have to ruin it?! 808 is out of date, should have been minimum 810 v2.

And what bugs exactly are you talking about? I'am using CM12.1 CAF Nightlies and didn't have any problems with them so far whatsoever (you can stop updating your ROM if you are worried that much about possible future bugs) and it's easily the smoothest ROM out there.

I really wouldn't pay $200 for fancier mike or bigger speaker. If you really want that you can go get yourself an M9 GPE. And for the record, there is nothing wrong with vibrator and definitely not with the DAC, it's competitive with HTC and has a very clean audio out if anything. CPU - that's a different story and I agree with you on this one to some extent.

Pure revisionist history. Go back to the Nexus 5 forums (here, I'll do it for you : http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/page69) from when the phone was first announced. Same bellyaching about ugly design, low specs, bad battery, etc etc. People are never happy.

(Sorry if I'm picking on you, it's not just you but a common attitude around here but it's exhausting. There are dozens of choices in phones, and hundreds of ways to modify each phone. If you can't be happy with any of them, the problem is you, not the phone)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalUnderground:
Lmao... Is this a serious question? Hotboots, connectivity issues, camera issues, and basic normal functions just simply not working. It was like that on KK which is why Slim dominated that OS. Slim fell off pretty hard on LP, and CM stayed stagnant and buggy. I went from nightlies to snapshots... Kept 3rd party apps to a minimum (which I should NEVER have to do), and didn't touch kernel settings. It's a janky ROM that's being community built. It's not like it was before, and the proof of that can be seen first hand or 2nd hand by the outrageous threads that only CM can bring. Waaaaaaaay better off on LP using a ROM like Cataclysm if you want real stability. CM fanboys need to realize they're fandom is causing them to run broken software on their smartphone

The positive thing about typical iphone users, is that they have no clue about any hardware component in their phone, they just know it works well and that is what they care about. That's something i've been wanting to see in the android community, to care less about component names, and care more about user experience. If the new nexus 5 will be able to keep more apps in memory than a phone (Samsung, LG etc..) that has 4GB of DDR4, then who cares. Or if the 2700mAh battery turns out to provide good battery life, who cares about those 3000+ mAh phones. People laugh at the 8mpx iphone camera, but it still takes better photos than most android flagships. (Disclaimer: i don't own an iphone).

What i'm trying to say, if the phone will be well optimized software and hardware wise, who cares what components it packs.

For the people who doesn't want a S808 i have a question: what do you want then ?

In 2015, cpus are such powerful that S808 are enough for everything, even for 1 more year. And you're saying that you're N5 2013 is still amazing with its S800 so why are you afraid with 808 ?

Don't forget the 400$ price.

Well i don't understand people sometimes ^^
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
Never had any of these issues with recent builds. The problem is that people tend to create stereotypes very fast and then are slow to adjust to changes. You for instance seem to be stuck in late KK/ early LP times. Of course my mentioned CAF nightlies are not "stable" builds, but this only means that because of frequent releases and limited testing for each individual build, there is a chance that the bugs can be introduced. YET no one forces you to update your ROM daily - just install a stable nightly and forget about it.

For me, i want to use a phone more then 2 years, because i dont have that much money to buy a new phone every year, or every 2 years. So snapdragon 820 is really future proof for me. I would save much more money if i buy a phone for $700 and have it 3,4 years, then buy a phone every year for $350. In my country phones are even more expensive, so i would save even more in my currency. For its price nexus 5 had top CPU in that time, couple of months after n5, snapdragon released 801 which is not much different from 800. Its still a fast phone, but its capabillities are limited because of a hardware. Not even dttw. Also people usually want more battery life, which usually comes with a new upgraded device line up.

Not all phones are the same, and it depends on user needs and usage. I am looking for my needs, so i need a mike that can record fine sound without artifacts. Compare n5 vibrator with the one on g2, g3, s5, s6, even s4. Its deffinetly not high end one. Im just saying that with cheap phone there are some hardware budget cuts. And i dont want that in a phone i want to use for 3,4 years, only changing the battery.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
You are talking about the 820. Qualcomm announced that it will start shipping in devices as of 2016, so its not available yet. Furthermore, you are praising a chipset that has not been put to test, or used in any device, you don't know its capabilities, its strong sides or its weaknesses.

The latest and greatest in the chipset market at the moment is the S810 V2, and it still has overheating issues, take a look at Sony's solution with copper pipes in their new Z5. In the Oneplus 2 the 810 is underclocked to 1.8GHz.

There is no possible way you can say for sure that the S820 (even if it were available for phone manufacturers now) doesn't have similar issues.

I think the nexus guys at Google were looking for a 64bit chipset, and they had only 2 choices, either the S620 or the S808. IMO they made the right decision.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alen1901:
I know it will ship in 2016, thats why i said next nexus will be the latest device with that cpu, every other phone will have it. I mean on nexus 2016. Also, 810 is octacore (which i really dont see a reason to put into a phone, maybe in 3,4 years it will be needed), 820 is quadcore. After qualcomm lost so much money on 810, they will do everything to make 820 a beast. Its also about cpu capabillities and future holding. 808 is just a regular cpu, with not so great gpu (its great for average user), but 820 has a beast of specs and under the hood stuffs. For me, i can use a nexus device with this cpu for at least 4 years and still have all the aspects of modern techology. See how 800 is awesome on nexus 5, tripple that, add more support for lte, fingerprint, higher speed rams, storage, battery, stable 60fps animtions on screen, and you will get 820.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
Your words are not based on facts or solid evidence, you're stating your wishlist. Untill 820 gets officially released and tested in a device with real life conditions, we can't call it a "beast". 810 was also expected to be a " beast" and we all know how it turned out in the end.

At this stage, we should care less what components are being put in. Hardware from the past 2 years is capable enough to run most things without any issues, it's the software that needs optimizing.

No matter what components you stick in your phone, you'll never be able to futureproof it with bad software. Think about it, isn't it stupid that a mobile OS needs 4GB of RAM to be able to run at its best?! The problem is elswhere, not in hardware.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
I would love to have that Sony's solution in the current Nexus 5 2013. Nexus 5 can't stand 2.3Ghz frequency for a long time.

After a few minutes using the screen scrolling fast, switching between apps etc, the N5 starts throttling from 2.2Ghz to lower frequencies, specially in summer.

Better examples than that are: using the camera for a long time, VoIP calls for more than 5 minutes, or just internet videocalls, with hangouts, etc. (This latest examples really throttles the Nexus 5). Not to mention heavy games with 1080p.

(There is, also, a good thing in throttling. While the temperature and performance is drastically reduced during a high cpu demanding process, there is also a good battery usage reduction right after we reach the target.

What I mean is, If we played a powerful game that can't reach 60 fps with modded S800 with, let's say, watercooling, the battery would be consumed fast).

But this is another topic. ).

So I think, this is another GOOD reason to don't worry If the Nexus 5 2015 have a Snapdragon 808 instead of Snapdragon 810. Yes, we won't have 810 first minutes of performance, but the 810 will throttle more than the 808 (because the last one is operating at a lower frequency from the beginning).

The disadvantage is that it would suffer lower performance before throttling, and that could hurt in light actions/usages that never raise temp, but is nothing to worry about. The performance in Android is based on compatibility, patches, fixes, tweaks, not just the CPU/GPU max frequency.

And Google will forge the OS to work fast (as always) with their flagship. (Yes, maybe Lollipop can't match KitKat speed in "some aspects", but that's it's a global behavior that changed in all Android phones, whichever the SoC is).

if you buy a phone for 700$ and have it 3-4 years you lose 700$ after 3-4 years because that phone has no reselling value anymore.

if you buy a nexus for 350$ and sell it after one year for 200-250$ to buy the next nexus you lose 100-150$ every year and always have the most current phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Exactly how I do it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alen1901:
The problem is that in my country used phones drop prices much faster then new ones, so in the end i allways lose a lot of money in every purchase. For example, i bought nexus 4 for 2900 kunas (croatian currency - HRK) and thats 6 months after phone is released, and the cheapest one i could find on internet selling page in my country. New one from the store was even more expensive, around 3800kn. Then i sold it after around 6 months of usage for only 1400kn. So i lost a lot here. Then i bought nexus 5 for 2600kn. And i could sell it for around 1500kn. Its really not worth it. I would rather pay 1000kn more once in 4 years for a premium nexus device then spend every 6 months or a year at least 1000kn for a new one. In my country there is also no real/huge difference in price when it comes to budget, premium, smaller versions of phones. Nexus 5 costs 3300kn in stores now, and xperia z3 compact costs 3200 - 3300kn. And nexus is considered a flagship device, z3 compact is supposed to be a budget device.

Now supposedly rumors are circulating that the N5X is suppose to have 2gb of RAM, not 3 or 4. I already knew it wasn't gonna have 4, 3 was most likely. But still. Damn.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiantAxe:
its all still rumors, but i doubt a 4gb ram model, ill pray for 3.

if it turns out those rumors are true, again a full hd screen and 2gb ram then i have no need to upgrade.

(Im still not sure if i even want to upgrade from my current 2013 N5, im not a power user so i still manage 1.5 day of battery life mostly. I suppose once my battery really starts degrading ill upgrade, that or the new N5 is a serious beast, or the 2016 N6 is a beast and lower in price then the current N6)

As for reselling every year and having the newest phone. Perhaps the region i live in is pure crap for resale then but even if i put a new phone for 40% of the origional price you wouldnt be able to resell it in the town i live in. nor try to sell it online. and i tried that several times

There are some older rumours that the new Nexus 5 will have an OLED display. The we have any newer information about that?

What you said. I love my N5, but if it was upgraded to to 3gb with an SD slot, I would consider it perfect. But getting back to the original question posed by the OP, I would stick with the LG . . the only reason being that my current N5 has served me well, and I see no point in changing brands without some very compelling arguments. Like others have said, I consider the N5 to be the sweet spot as far as screen size goes, that's why I have not gone for the N6 (not to mention the N6's price tag). I will be quite happy with an 808 cpu, as I am not a gamer and I do not make too many demands on my phone. Battery capacity seems to be a major gripe with most N5 owners, but mine gets me through the day with plenty to spare so I'm happy. I don't feel it looks 'cheap', and it feels far more comfortable in my hand than any previous phone I've had.

As others have mentioned, no one phone will satisfy everyone, but the N5 has come the closest for me. Give me 64gb please Mr Google, and I'll love you forever.

Same for camera, don't care about "mp", this is not what makes good photos.

And the battery is better than N5's one, with an "only" FHD screen and native 6.0 version we can expect a very correct autonomy unlike N5.
