Depends on what you want out of an Android phone. You can't buy the Nexus One directly from Google, you can with the Nexus S though (and Best Buy). I still have the Nexus One and I really don't see myself even considering the S due to the lack of things I need (FFC is useless, plastic throws me off).

So if I buy N1 would it be upgradable to honeycomb? And is it fast compare to x10? That's what I currently have?

I have the nexus one, but if i could choose now - I'll definitely go for the Nexus S without a doubt.
The touch screen on the nexus one is abysmal. It has multiple freezing issues, and a boatload of bugs that no one is bothering to fix. It's also much slower than the S... i've had a play on my brother's S, and it's so smooth, responsive.. amazing phone.
Also, you're guaranteed to survive at least 1 Android upgrade with the Nexus S, seeing as it's the flagship google dev phone as of now. The nexus one... not sure how much longer it can go. probably a while, but that would be do to the mod community and not the official channels.
Go Nexus S and don't look back.

Yes it will. You are basically comparing phones with the same hardware, both 1 GHz, 480 x 800, 5 MP, capacitive buttons, etc. Updates should be reasonably quick depending on how Andy Rubin runs things.
Oh and the major difference being that the Nexus One has dual noise canceling mics, phones calls are going to be crisp and better for the person on the other end. The Nexus S has a front facing camera, once Skype gets on Android, it might take off.

I have the Nexus One and my wife has the Nexus S. Neither is rooted. I find the USER EXPERIENCE on the Nexus S to be MUCH BETTER than the Nexus One. Larger and brighter display that you can use outside. Not the fingerprint magnet the Nexus One is. Much smoother touch screen experience. And I don't know what all the fuss is about the plastic case vs the metal case. I find it very sturdy and it even feels better in your hand. It's faster at almost everything. You can even hear the speakerphone. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus One. But if some one ask me if i would trade it for a Nexus S... Without any hesitation YES!

Fingerprinting on the battery door. If you get fingerprints all over the Nexus One battery door, I am surprised. On the Nexus S, not so much.

I had the n1 one for about a year and upgraded to the nexus s just 2 weeks ago. I find the battery life to be amazing (full day normal use) on the nexus s. The most important improvement has been the touch screen, not cause i play games, but for typing. I noticed that im making less mistakes on the nexus s and my speed has gone up substantially, i also had gingerbread on my n1.

Go with the Motorola Atrix or a new tablet.

Tablets are for sick people.
Both Nexus phones are great and both have their problems...but nothing is perfect!

I had the nexus S for about two weeks before I had to return it since T-Mobile service is horrible where I live.
I've gotta say that the S is better in most aspects. The screen is amazingly bright and easy to read in sunlight. The screen also registers fast typing much better, so I make a lot less mistakes.
Stock gingerbread is so fast and smooth.
However I didn't like the glossy plastic construction on the NS. It was a fingerprint magnet. Also, the quality control on new units were terrible.

the only thing that I keep N1 is to stay with T-Mobile $5.99 old unlimited data plan.

I jumped ship, farewell my beloved G2.

Since HTC decided to not make physical keyboards anymore, I was very let down. I tried out there ONE series and was greatly disappointed. I always felt HTC was the leader in Andriod based phones, but I feel like Samsung is taking the lead. ( I know, it took me awhile to admit this to myself)
Anyhow, I took the leap to the Samsung Galaxy SIII and I am really enjoying it. I have been using swift key app, which I am typing like a maniac on it and spells everything perfectly.
Ever since removing the service from my G2, I have been using it for an alarm clock. HOLY COW how much the battery life is when there is no data or service! It has been 5 days and I am at currently 79 percent battery.
I used the keyboard today after a week of not using it and wow I do miss it. What are you guys waiting for next? Is anyone jumping ship as well? I feel like there won't be any top tier phones with a physical keyboard anymore.

I'm also getting s3 technically I can't upgrade till Sept but I'm gonna call to see if they allow early extension on contract. I still love my keyboard but I can manage to live without it since the new phone has a huge screen

Fear not, I had a pentile Galaxy Note and it looked gorgeous. Plastic tacky build quality should be your main concern.

Actually I am jumping on the ship! I have a G2 in the mail. I loved my G1 and the form factor of a trackpad, qwerty. I dont think I'd like the massive screen phones. So my plan is use the G2 until my dream phone (ie G3) comes out (if it does). Otherwise I did try the Galaxy Nexus and was quite impressed. Rumor has it that google has 4/5 new nexus phones planned for november, so I am crossing my fingers and toes one of them is a qwerty..

You are still on G1?....holy...I played with my G1 the other day, I can't believe how slow it is!

I had a Galaxy Note for 1 1/2 month and returnd to my Desire Z.
The Note hardware is great and the size of the display is fun to work with, but I missed my hw kb. I thought with a really big screen I dont need it, but its just not the same feeling...
Besides that, I dont like the storage management on Samsung phones.
And to my surprise, I do not need the dual core power.
The DZ ist really fast enough for all my needs

Thinking about doing the same before G2 resale values drop even more (they sell for like ~$130 tops right now).

I didnt use it daily, more of a backup.
Now I have got the G2 (currently flashing andromadus ICS rom) and I am quite impressed. I also have the Blackberry 9900 which I love but its surprising how comparable I think the G2 is to it. Think I will be using until a dreamphone comes along fo sho!

I am still using the old Pyromod Mecha in mine. The battery life was so amazing with that ROM and still is. But it is kinda slow now, how does ICS perform on the G2? Is it nice and quick?

I've tried Samsung S3 the other day and the screen was not that bad. Although text did look jagged at the edges.
Still doesn't beat One X in colour and angles.

Wow...my g2 just want out and was debating on the s3 or one s.
Im worried that the s3 overall size is too big to put in your pockets.
How do you like yoursonthe size?

It fits very comfortably in your hand. The screen is very nice, as well.
I don't notice it feel much different than my Hercules in my pocket. Its thin and light.

I switched to the HTC raider/vivid because; 1 - My Desire Z decided it was going to stop accepting sd cards put into the slot (and yes I tried different sd cards and even replaced the sd card holder). 2 - I needed a large screen phone for my work because I work with a lot of excel spreadsheets.
Needless to say, after half a day and my battery already dead, I longed for my good old "Zed" back. I found someone who had smashed their screen and rebuilt the phone from two defective phones. I'm sorry baby, I won't leave you again! (Till a better solution comes along)
I'm sticking with my Desire Z from here on out until I find a better phone. Something with a keyboard or a better keyboard solution. Also it's got to have expandable memory and a good battery life.

Unfortunately my Z took a tumble down the stairs last night so I went and found an S3 on the local online classifieds. Not sure I like the no keyboard part of it all but I supposed I'll learn to adjust. So long Zed I'll miss you and the great people in these forums.

Its so quick. I can't imagine it being any quicker. Very impressive even rendering google maps went quick. I test drove the gnex a few weeks ago and think my g2 is of comparable speed (I know call me crazy but..)

Did HTC really say they're not making any phones with physical keyboards? This is going to really suck for future phone choices.

[Q] Should I buy?

So, some people have been able to get amazing battery life out of the G2, but others have had fairly major heat buildup and short battery life issues. I have also seen some posts about lag issues.
I'm deciding between this phone and the HTC One, which I have heard also has battery issues. I currently have an HTC One X+, and the battery, lag, and heat buildup are unbelievably bad, so I'm cautious about getting another HTC device.
What I want to know is, are most people having good experiences with the battery/heat buildup of the G2? Have you experienced consistent lag? Thanks for your responses.

I have experienced excellent battery life 1+ day usage. I've never had the phone heat up at all... Slight warmth, possibly just from my hand...
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I haven't experienced any of the issues you mention. The plastic case squeaks a little, but this is to be expected...the s3 and s4 both do/did it. It's literally the only drawback I've noticed. I just ordered a case, so hopefully that'll muffle the sound and it'll be perfect. ☺

I've had the HTC One and the battery life stinks. That's the only reason I got rid of it. I'm thinking of getting this phone tomorrow. Either this g2 or Moto X. I've been browsing both forums.

I just sold my HTC One to get my G2. The One's battery life sucks! The only things the One has over the G2 are: 1. higher PPI screen (worthless since both have pixels so tiny you wont even notice the difference. 2. Front facing stereo speakers. My G2 makes it through the day easily with over 50% remaining by the time I go to sleep. It gets a little warm, but only when playing games...and no warmer than my One got when playing games.

hmm i was also thinking about getting the lg g2. I current have the att htc one x, which is nice and all but i think its time for an upgrade. Im going through the insurance though and theyre sending me out a galaxy s4. Has anyone used both devices, the s4 and the g2? Obviously the g2 is a step up but how does it translate to real world usage? Would love to hear you opinions on both. If worth it ill just sell my galaxy s4 and buy the g2.

Mine was more of a stutter then lag as smooth as TW Roms could make it and got annoying after a while
Playing around with the phone for the past few hours, I am quite impressed on how smooth it is for me.. its like a better TW (might be insulting to the G2 )

I'm in the same boat and considering the g2 or the g pro. Im liking the phablet because I watch a lot of video on my current phone so the real estate is nice. At $99 with a new contract its a steal and I'm due for an upgrade. But I'm also digging the hardware of the g2. Bern lurking between the 2 forums trying to make a decision, but I'm heavily leaning towards the g2.

Lg G2 > gs4 > htc one
I've used them all, and by far the Lg wins. Especially if youre worried about lag and battery life. Screen is also better than the other ones. Cant wait for devs to start posting cleaner roms

In ear? Or the ear speaker? The ear speaker sounds great, the "in ear" speaker probably depends on the headphones.

Like many others, I have the One as well. I also own the S4, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt "the G2 is hands down my favorite".
I do however think that my S4 gets as good of battery life as my G2 though. I just don't like the lag my S4 gets when I load it up with apps.
This is probably not important to you, but the S4 and the G2 sync with my Fitbit flex via LE Bluetooth and the One does not. ?

DO NOT... I'm sorry let me say that again. DO NOT. Again. NOT. GET THE S4 hands down worst device I have ever owned. Everything negative Previously said is 100% true and I know this because I suffered from ****4 as well. It's horrible. It's terrible. It's bad. It's just down right horriterribad. Please bro. Don't do it. Save yourself from the samsung rapefest.
Note: it took me 5-10 minutes each time to get from my lock screen to pattern unlock to main screen.

Thanks for the quick response. That helped a lot. How's the Bluetooth connection on here? I use the Plantronics Voyager Legend with my iPhone for work and my Motorola Atrix HD. The connection and range are excellent on both phones however it's not as good on the HTC one.

wait and see what happens with the nexus 5 in like 2-3 weeks. nexus 4 is my favorite phone ive used (name a phone ive owned it) the only thing its missing is LTE sweet battery life and an awesome camera, all of which the G2 has but you get the best experience with a stock google phone more devs on it and CM11 or whatever it will be is gonna be sweet on it

I'm hoping that the LG Nexus 5 (stock android, either 4.3 or 4.4) will be coming to the G2 shortly after the N5 is released, and when/if its ported to Verizon, it will make the G2 one heck of a device.

cant complain bout battery life or heat
just basic browsin and crap i can go 24hrs and still have juice left over with 50% brightness
playin gta3 and streamin netflix with %50 brightness maybe 7-8hrs

[Q] confused in buy G2 or N5

sorry for create this thread but ...
plz give best solution between G2 n N5..
thank u devs. and pros..

g2
I recomend G2, better battery, better camera with ois, better visial, better software.

Man the one thing i think N5 is better is Software and original updates! Just this...
G2 have better camera, screen and battery...

Orinal D802 version has all 442 updates, works fine. But i use cloudyflex 2.3 rom. All fine.

Get the g2. I have it as my main phone and the n5 as my travel phone. I keep wishing for longer battery life and better camera on it.

i had a black g2 a few days ago, i traded it with nexus 5, used te nexus about 2 or 3 days.
the battery life is a real difference that you wil notice (im a heavy user) .. the camera yes is somehow seems old to me.
performance: i didnt find a major difference. the great RAM management of the nexus is better but i didn't feel the g2 slower or something. of corse vanilla android is a familiar experience and has its pros
in hand: the nexus make you a little bit confident, better grip due to the Mat back. really confartble to use , especially with one hand. the nexus is way confertable in hand.
by the way, ive sold the nexus Yesterday cz i couldnt resist the offer ($)..i had money in hand and wanted to buy a new phone. head to the store, saw the htc M8, Htc M7, samsung S5, htc one max, note 3, xperia z2......many many phones in store......... i looked at the LG part, saw a white G2.. absolutly irresistible !! took it and payd the guy...went home... got internet..updated the g2 to 4.4.2....rooted it... ignored the 18 months warranty card hehehe.... xposed framework..& VrooOoooMmm VrOOooMmmM ...felt the same feelings when cruising in my '79 Pontiac Trans Am Muhuhahaha

Help with deciding

Having owned a Nexus 5 32GB before and now currently an Iphone 5 64GB, I have been looking at the LG G2
Am rather bored of the Iphone now and feel I would like to return to Android for a while, I loved the Nexus and really wondered why I swapped back to the Iphone (moment of madness i guess)
But the battery life and camera were pretty sub par on the Nexus.
Just want to know if the build quality is the same seeing as they are both made by LG
Hows the battery life, hopefully better than the Nexus, must be better than the appalling Iphone battery.
Hows the screen, I liked the Nexus screen but was a little as washed out.
Cant seem to find 32GB ones any where, they are like Rocking Horse S... plenty of 16GB ones, but I've heard that there is only 10MB or actually storage is this true?

I switched to LG G2 from SGS3 and I love it. It's very responsive., has great battery life- two days normal use is easy. Screen is great as well. The only drawback in the beginning is the lack of volume rocker. Everything is on one button in the back but you get use to it and I love it as well.
