What are your thoughts on this? Will you upgrade to the next Nexus is ever LG does come out with it? For those with experience with LG phones, how is the build quality?
Cheers!

I don't think. Google buy Motorola, so i think the next Nexus had made by Motorola.
On the road with my NexusS...

Well,
See this article

Its not going to be a moto device.
Lg gets a bad rap in the states. All they have ever really sold here is budget phones and that is what people know.
IMHO anybody that is against lg making this device based off the internals of the optimus g is out of their damn minds. Or just some brand name loyal fanboy trolls.
Sure there where always people that will that prefer amoled screen and that is legitimate.
But a nexus based of those internals is simply great IMHO. It is truly some of the best if not the best components out period. I welcome the change to making a nexus device on true bleeding edge components.
I don't wanna hear crap from OEM fanboys myself. HTC guys where not happy about Samsung doing this device. Samsung guys whine about the rumors of HTC making the next one.
The optimus g is a monster. A nexus phone based of it is great.

Also, I heard that LG makes excellent display hardware as well, so the amoled may not be sorely missed as others are wont to expect.

I will buy it regardless who makes it. Ultimately all that matters is who is overseeing the development of it which will be Google.

For amoled lovers they will miss it. Some love the looks of those displays and its their preference. Also being able to adjust colors in the kernel some love. Even if another display is better in just about every way some just prefer amoled.
I am not one of them. My buddy has a HTC one x and I love that screen.
If anybody is curious about what kind you like most. Go to a sprint store and look at gnex/gs3/evo lte. Or att and one x /sg3 and compare.

More rumors flying.. Sealed phone.. That may be a complete deal breaker. I refuse to own a phone I can't replace the battery.

It also says we might be able to choose which nexus we want (hinting that there could be nexus from other manufacturers )

if this is true, it might definately be a deal breaker for alot of people

As phones become thinner it seem sealed is the trend. If the battery capacity is at least 2500mah I don't think there will be as much uproar. (edit: apparently the lg optimus g has 2100mah battery, also 32gb internal storage and no microsd.)
Despite Google bought Motorola mobile division, Motorola phones are locked down and tends the be least updated Android phones, so its a good thing it won't be Motorola branded to me.

i really don't care who makes it as long as it has a a15 series cpu 32gb of storage and if possible retina screen which is better than amoled in both batery an color

I don't see the problem with LG. I had the LG shine and it was very well built, with a metal back and high quality screen, etc. Of course this wasn't a smart phone and that phone came out ages ago. I'm curious to see what LG does with the nexus though.
I welcome them.

I honestly could care less who makes it. LG, Samsung, HTC, etc. As long as I like the look and more importantly the specs! This is what I base all my tech purchases on. Laptops, phones, everything. I buy the best that I can afford at the time or wait so I can save to get even better. It should have at least the same specs as the S3. I would of course like more but that may be asking to much. I am a Nexus buyer. I don't want an S3 because it isn't the Nexus line. I will probably get this phone since I skipped the GNex, regardless of whos name is on it.

I hope the rumors are true. I want a sony nexus so bad!! I miss my xperia

I also read somewhere that there might be more than one manufacturer for the Nexus..

Only a max of 16GB storage is a major turnoff.

This not be good. The nexus must be just one...not like 1538 Galaxy devices.
The only reason why iPhone is so popular is because is just one top device and the nexus must be just one too. Not important who make it, but if realy make more devices and worse, more manufacturer, he kill the exclusivity of that device.
Just my 5cent

Not to mention further add to the problem of fragmentation of the platform. It will be harder to push updates for more than one new Nexus, not to mention the older Nexus phones like the crespo and maguro.

Bye Bye Moto G it's been fun

I couldn't resist the lure of the Nexus 5. I bought the red one and a clear bumper case, and I'm ready to rock and roll. The moto g has been great for the short time I've used it, but I always really wanted the nexus 5. I'm going to be selling the G on swappa or craigslist as soon as my N5 is delivered. Take care and have fun guys, off to the Nexus 5 section of xda.

Enjoy it, I'd be all over it if I could run it on verizon. Good phone for the money.

Man good luck.. But I have heard that nexus 5 have battery issues. Still have a thought over it. My moto g gives battery backup of more than 1.5 days with little use ... and with heavy use its 10 hours... Still best.
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

To me, the Nexus 5 is a very nice phone. I ended up with the Moto G and I'm happy with it. The cost difference is what made the final decision for me but the N5 ended up 2nd on my list of all the phones I considered. I know you'll enjoy it.

Yeah actually I was even planning to buy nexus 5... But cost turned me towards moto g... With some compromise.

Aside from not supporting their LTE freq it does support cdma, if they let you activate it of course...

I was in the same boat. Ultimately, the cost/benefit analysis of the MotoG vs. N5 swayed in favor of the MotoG. The better battery life and physical size/form factor combined with price outweighed what I'd be giving up by not choosing the N5 -- LTE, bigger screen (which is a negative for me), and NFC.

To each their own. That's why they make a million kind of phones. Sometimes you are just drawn towards something and can't resist. The N5 was that for me. I actually really like the Moto G and it does everything I need. But, MUST HAVE NEXUS 5. I'm not gonna fight it any more. In the end, it's what makes us happy. Sometimes cost/benefit equations don't always win. Who says you always need to be logical?

Oh, I completely understand. I LOVE the Nexus 5. It would be, no question, my phone after the MotoG. It just boiled down to the fact that I have smaller hands, and I'm rarely away from WiFi for very long so the lack of LTE isn't a big issue especially since T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds are more than adequate for me. But..yeah...nothing against the N5 -- it's an amazing device! Enjoy your new baby!

I finally got my moto g today and I'm loving it! Good luck on your new phone

While N5 is a very good phone, it's far from the best anymore...

Red nexus? It's orange...
I also looked at Nexus, but i decided to buy a cheap phone like Moto g.
I always carry with me my (great) LG tablet, so any phone i would buy would spent most of the time in my pocket or laying on the desk.

I consider it the best. Who cares if the htc one is a few mhz faster. You won't notice any difference in real world usage. Why would say it's not the best? It's a matter of opinion. Even if I had millions of dollars, the N5 would be my phone of choice. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

It's bright red, buddy. Go to the Google Play store and see for yourself. The pic I posted is not an accurate representation.

Congrats on your n5 :thumbup: I think it's the sexiest phone out there! And I totally agree with what you said about real life usage, even s4 is much better than moto g on paper but it turns out there's no difference in performance (at least not relevant) :beer:

make sure to include the words "in my opinion", if you don't want people correcting you buddy. No expandable storage,non-removable battery, average camera,no 4k video recording, below average battery life... that's your best smartphone. It's good for the price tag if one can live with the above mentioned shortcomings.

I got em both and for some reason I find the moto g way more convenient to use, especially the battery life is almost double of the N5.
Anyway, you can't go wrong by going for the N5. gl.

Note 4 vs Droid Turbo

Since you can't write to SD now anyways...it doesn't matter to me. Anyone else ready to ditch Samsung? Good chance the boot loader on a new Motorola won't be totally locked down like our N4 is. It's a super Moto X basically.

I would miss the removable battery and S pen too much. Also I'm not crazy about the screen size of the turbo

I do like the screen size but that 3900mAH battery sounds good. I'd be set for days

I am looking to pickup either the Note 4 for Turbo for the wife. She doesn't need/want the S-Pen. She wants a phone that's fast, easy to use and provides great pics even in low lights. She doesn't know what she wants and is not a tech person at all lol. Which phone do you think will have the better camera?

I'll wait for reviews to make a final judgement, but there is a very low chance the turbos camera is better then the note 4. None of the moto devices are known for their camera. Even the new moto x is weak still in that department.

The bootlader on the droid turbo will be locked down tighter than fort Knox. So don't expect to be rooting or flashing Roms on it. I do like the form factor and the materials they use. I also like the specs they included. For me the only gripes I have is the camera, I heard it was OK.

Why would they lock the boatloader down? Unlike Samsung, they aren't pitching phones to corporate America. Motorola's been fairly open recently with the Moto X too. Their forum already has a system dump waiting for Devs...

Trust me, I'm coming from a original Moto X and ive had my fair share of droid brand devices. The bootloader is not unlocking any time soon. Maybe someone will find a root exploit but that's about it.

The only reason I could think of is to help promote the N6 as being the only unlocked and truly customizable stock phone on VZW. VZW could make them have it locked from factory as well. We will see on Thursday when it is released.

Picked this up from a recent link about the announcement of the turbo.

Exactly. The turbo is very enticing. If root doesn't happen in the next couple of days for the note 4. Then I will definitely get the turbo using my exchange period from Verizon.

I suppose... I usually was OK getting home on 10%. I work outside and to truly not have to worry about batteries at all would be sweet. This phone does well but it negates the screen when I have to crank the brightness down to nothing to make it to 10% at the end of the day

The Note 4 is a great device, and the battery is pretty good. But I find myself having to adjust frequently to save battery life were I can. With the turbo I don't think that would be the case. Plus it charges incredibly fast.

Big disappoiment Nexus 6

I got my new nexus 6 and im very disappointed and let down. At first I thought it was going to be better than the note 4 but it really isn't. Does not feel premium at all, instead it feels cheap, kinda like samsung phones. The blue color that tmobile offers is really ugly, like seriously, midnight blue? Aside from the fact that it has a big screen, it does not offer absolutely nothing, it has zero features to take advantage of the big screen. It doesn't have phablet features to help with the size. The screen is a huge let down it is not even a joke. The iphone 6 has a better screen. The speakers aren't loud but the sound is clear. The camera still blows as usual. I can't believe Google hasn't done anything to improve it. I can't comment on the battery just yet but I'm thinking that it would suck. The ambient display will suck the living out of it. Having said all that, I'm torn to pieces. I'm returning it tomorrow

Its not for everyone. We all knew this.

Uh OK. You obviously don't have the phone. One thing about the x14 and n6 is they feel very premium. Almost wish they were a little more light and less premium as it comes across slippery. Very well made phones. Now move on....

Saw it at T-Mobile store today. Definitely does not feel premium. I'd say the In quality and styling it would be The Note 4 in first place, then the IPhone 6 Plus, then last the Nexus 6. The matte back is a greasy fingerprint magnet like a previous phone I had the Moto G. The screen does look pretty nice and the speakers on the front do sound good and loud. But I'll be sticking with my IPhone 6 Plus.

Cool story, bro.

Give it 3-4 weeks and we'll weed out all the people who pre-ordered just because it was hyped.

I don't like metal phone such as htc one m8 I had for 6-7 month and I really was scared to drop it or scratch it. Plastic phones forever for me. So I not worried about how the phone feels. I am going to get the N6 no matter what

Yup. This is pretty common with every new device release. Within the first month, threads usually pop up stating how they're disappointed with x device and thinking about going back to the phone they already owned or moving onto another.

This!
For those new to XDA, it has been known that once a hot new device hits the market, XDA will be flooded with opinions, assumptions, and disappointments....it never gets old.
Move on people.

Call bullsh!t without pictures. Sounds like a troll from the start.

While its perfectly fine to be disappointed with a phone and want to tell people about it, there is a much better way to do so then what was posted in the OP. Perhaps a constructive breakdown and examples of what is disappointing? The way the OP is laid out, it will only start issues.

Just bought one today - already available at a local brazilian retailer. So far I'm liking it. Built quality remembers me my Moto G 2013, solid built. BUT I miss the front facing speakers of my Alcatel Idol 3. Front facing speakers are very underrated. Anyway If you guys have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Nice upgrade

12 hours of moderate use now. Battery seems just right. Good thing is the phone did not overheat once during all day of use.

Well, how much more is the G5+ than the G5? It's got more things different than just the SoC.

Guys, I've just left the store and had the g5 and g5 plus in my hands, a brief description (maybe nothing new)
G5: Extremely light, really realy light, it is fast, the cover is removable and only the center part is made of metal. The camera looks good. The phone has a good size, and the interface is the same as always. The chip and SD card are under the hood. Price: R$999 (in Brazil)
G5 Plus: Heavier obviously, have NFC and fast payment option or name that I don't know. I thought very fluid. Particularly, the design on hands is beautiful. The Launcher is equal to the pixel, but dark. Price: R$1499 (in Brazil)
I must have forgeten some detail, anyway ask me.
