So for a while now I've been waiting for a new nexus to come out because my contract is up in December. However its looking more and more that the rumors are true that it will be made by LG and be based off of their flagship optimus g. The specs for the optimus g are beasty but I'm not sure LG can make a high quality phone. How do you guys feel about an lg nexus and do you think you'll buy one?

I will definitely buy it if its an lg nexus! They always make great hardware but their software is atrocious, but being a nexus that point is moot

Allegedly, there's gonna be a whole line of 5 nexuses (nexii?), with one by samsung, a minor update to the gnex (1.5 ghz a9 dual core). Another would be the lg optimus g nexus (or nexus g) which as you mentioned would be quad core s4 768p, 2gb ram. Another would be the nexus 5 by htc with 1080p, quad core s4, 2gb ram. The new thing about these is that they will have a customization center where you will have the choice of different themes, some of them being manufacturer themes. So an HTC nexus could run sense.

Does anyone know if the actual optimus g came out yet? I would like to know if it lives up to its high specs or is just a bust like the g2x.

Also, does anyone think Sprint will have first crack at any of these Nexii if/when they come out? I want to get a new phone around november, not next year -__-

Not sure. It looks like sprint and google are getting closer. Although, it looks like tmo is definitely getting it soon since they cancelled the one x + which means there's something better coming (since its probably not bug related because its being released on other carriers worldwide). That doesn't mean sprint can't be soon though. It does surprise me that lg made their optimus g so close too the nexus release. Idk if the nexii would have a coordinated launch either where each are released together worldwide. They may be staggered over the next few months or so.

The 13mp camera didn't get good reviews.. Nokia Lumia 920, IPhone 5 take the crown

I saw a link to an article on Facebook and they compared the camera on the iPhone 5 to the one on the 4s and a high end camera. Apparently, the iPhone 5 camera doesn't play well with direct light sources

out in korea. but it's a mixed reception. a very good phone by lg's standard but the software's still a bit of a downside.
hardware benchmarking beats all the android competition out so far.
but must add, american models always have some kinda variance to the original so they might change a few things. seeing that an lg nexus is coming out at around the same time, seems quite likely too.

I'm stuck between:
Note 3 (of course)
Sony Xperia Z1
Nexus 5 (when officially released to know the specs, but having it always get the latest updates does sound attractive. )
The HTC One Max is also a big phone that looks good, but we'll see. I've had the Note, Note 2 and SGS2 and my partner has the SGS3, and we live together. Samsung makes good phones and makes them to last (mine is 1 year old with 0 issues). But I might want to try something a little different, hence the change in device. 5 inch displays with on screen controls make the screen size even smaller. So I'm thinking of crossing out the Z1 and N5, but I don't know. They're VERY good phones and the camera on the Z1 is kick butt!
Note 5. Maybe then Samsung has 4K screens and a good developed flexible screen.
Probably a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or something innovative.

I really ask the same question personally as someone said once you go big cant go small so im gonna look at either s5 or note 4
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'll see the official specs of the nexus 5, especially the battery and the price.
It was announced to be 3000 mA and now the last news says 2400 mA which is clearely not enough.
I think I can sell my Note II and buy and Nexus 5 without loosing any money (or not that much)
Or else I'll keep my Note for one more year, I'm happy with it.
Note 3, rest doesnt come closer to it. Will buy in a month once prices cool down a bit.

Now that they dropped the price to

I'm really not totally happy with the motox camera if I'm honest and there's a lot to like about the LG.

Be leery of that rear button if you carry it in your pocket. I have already received a few calls regarding it stopping working.
Imprinted directly to your mind via a Moto X
That's the thing that worries me, although spec wise it trumps a lot of phones.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
too big of a screen. moto x is the sweet spot for me.
I returned G2 and got Moto X because:
Knock knock doesn't always work.
Camera at night sucks if the object moves at all.
Screen is a little too sensitive at times.
Lg UI is so heavy that it makes that beast of a processor cry at times, pretty laggy IMHO.
I held Moto X and it hit all the sweet spots from size to speed and active display and other features are reliable. It's hard to beat Motorola quality. Camera is pretty decent since upgrade. Overall, moto x is a better package if I may say.

I hear you guys. I do really like the form factor of the motox. I guess I need to give it some time and love. I think I may have been spoiled with the camera on my SGS3 previously. My photos really don't seem as good. It's a shame.

The chances of getting KitKat. Moto X and G2 are the same price with contract now. The chances of you getting kitkat on the G2 by this year and on Verizon is very slim. Unlike the moto X where leaked builds are already coming in.

There was a rumor in the G2 section that stated 4.4 wouldn't be released till mid January since LG is supposedly going to redo its whole UI. Add a month to that for Verizon and yeah...
Just a rumor but something to think about. I'm aiming to get the Moto X in a 32GB flavor. Leaning towards the dev edition but it's hard passing up an opportunity to be able to use motomaker on vzw.

I just bought an lg g2 for sprint yesterday just have to wait until it gets here, trying to sell my moto x as we speak. Moto x is not a bad phone at all it really grew on me but the phone is just too small for me.
The only thing that would stop me from buying a G2 is that LG makes it. Had and Optimus G and Nexus 4, wasn't that impressed.

If anyone has made this specific switch, I'd be grateful to hear your opinions!
Also, should I wait until March and see what comes out and then make the switch? (my next upgrade would be December 2014) or just switch now? Keep in mind I'd have this till next December!
HTC flagship 2013 vs Motorola flagship 2013.
They're in the same league. It's not really of an upgrade.
What makes Moto X different than any other flagship phones is the Active Display and Touchless Controls.
Those features makes it stand out from the rest of the phablets.
If you MUST have Active Display and Touchless controls, then sell One and get Moto X.

Biggest intial pros and cons?
I just did that switch on Verizon. I like the size and feel of the x better and of course all the touchless and active display stuff is great. Only thing I like about the one is the boom sound and aluminum chassis.
Physically, this x feels similar to my old gnex, which is a good thing.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I made the switch from the One to the Moto X (kinda got a weird call from HTC asking me why I switched) and I wouldn't look back. Actually used my one for a few days last week and I went right back to the Moto X

Do it. My HTC One will be on Swappa in a few hours.
I did this. Got rid of my One thinking that I'd move to T mobile from Verizon, but I love being on the Moto X.

HTC One may have a better processor per say, but the Moto X hands down is much smoother and faster then HTC One. Speaker sound is equivalent on both. Battery life seemed a little better on the One, that would be my only gripe.

Same here.
Cons are the speakers. You just can't beat the One's audio quality.
Haven't noticed any speed differences. If I do a benchmark test, it's obvious, but moving around the UI and opening apps is the same.
The camera is so-so. In KitKat, you can move around the focus reticle which is pretty sweet as you aren't tapping around trying to get the right lighting. I'm leaning towards the One as having the better camera, but it's a slight lean.
I've always preferred stock android and the Moto X is the closest I'll get to it on Verizon.
Also, of important note, the Moto X supports Band 4 (AWS). I live in NY and in the city (Manhattan), Verizon's LTE is pretty awful. Once Band 4 is activated, this will definitely help. The One does not supports AWS.
How does the screen compare? Does the AMOLED help battery life paired with the lower resolution?

I sold my T-Mobile HTC one on swappa for $365 and bought the republic wireless moto x for $299.
I love the amoled and active display very much. Sound is still comparable. Tho I wish more phones would have front facing speakers!
Camera is worse but who honestly takes professional quality pics on a phone cam anyway.
I only really want data when im at work or home and have WiFi there anyway. So the $10 cell/text plan will save me oodles!

Better processor != Smoother experience.
And they both have the same GPU.
I have and love the Moto X, but honestly switching from the HTC One would be quite the downgrade. If you love AOSP then you can flash GPe, cant you? I would've gotten an HTC One in a heartbeat if the cyber monday deal had been for it instead of Moto X.

Hi everyone,
I opted for the Moto X GSM Developer Edition today. I've been considering the Nexus 5 or the X for a while now. I just couldn't pass up the features of this balanced and apparently well-executed phone at Monday's sale price. Believe it or not, there is still some back and forth in my mind, but the decision is made, and I think I'm happy with it.

I did the same. I still have my nexus since I can't let it go. Love it too much but the size of the moto x is perfect and the battery life has me very intrigued. I guess I'll switch between them back and forth and just give the x or nexus to my girl once the newer generations of these phones start coming out.

Exactly the same here. I just can't sell my N5, but love my bamboo X.
Having two phones is ridiculous, but oh well I guess. The resale market for the N5 isn't what I want (the loss). They are going for less than I like, so I'll just keep the thing.
