Hi. I've been recently been thinking about getting a new phone. So should I get the 2014 version of the Nexus 5 or something else? Any phones you think would be better?
what is your budget :)
but the nexus 5 is a really really good phone so yeahh..... if you want a almost fully vanilla android and a really fast phone and if you are not a professional photograph....GO for it :)
if you want to save money go for a moto g.
if you have a unlimited budget go for the note 3 with a galaxy gear.
(note that you can use the gear with a nexus 5)
It depends what you want really, the Nexus 5 really is top notch and relatively speaking it is reasonably priced. However in my opinion the best value phone in terms of features and price is the Moto G from Motorola.
High end: Nexus 5
What you really only need: moto g
the moto g will do everything you could possibly want to do with android, the only thing its missing is all the custom rom/kernels/mods that the nexus devices have.
I have no issue recommending good Samsung phones. And realistically where I am from those are the ones to get because our mobile market is bad. But if you have access to the Nexus stuff? Get a Nexus 5. I would have one in a heartbeat if I have money and access. I currently have a Note 2 customised to some horrible monster of a thing that only I recognise.
Here is the thing. do you need a phone because your old phone is broken or do you just want to smart features, apps, games, roms, books, movies, music? If so I would recommend a Nexus 7 and just use your phone as a phone. A bigger screen is better. 5.5 inch is great but 7 is awesome. Especially if you want it for games and movies.
Also what do you want to do with the device? What is its goal for you. Media like music or movies or games?
yeah touch wiz is not that good at all.
it slow down your phone and eat up ram.
cyanogenmod 4 the win!!!
I would grab the Moto X. Its, in my opinion, the best bang for your buck phone(on contract). Near stock Android, customizable, and cool Motorola-specific features that don't degrade the experience at all unlike some of the other brands(i.e. Samsung, HTC. This is in my opinion as well). The Nexus 5 is a great phone for what it is, but, in my opinion, the Moto X remains the best for the price.
I just picked up a Nexus 5. I love the thing I put multirom on it and dual boot Ubuntu and android.
It really does. My Note 2 lasted 4 days on stock before I hand it rooted and flashed. Best idea. I am on omni ROM after being a long term PAC ROM user.
wow really :o
I have a motoX. No complaints
Great choice. Not a bad decision at all. How well does Ubuntu run?
nice! you think that would work on a HTC One? Cause I really love how Ubuntu looks on mobile
