*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

They offer a quality overall package, on good hardware, with a better ecosystem supporting it all (in my opinion). It's not hard to see why people like them, though they aren't the best 'value'.

Main reason I want an Android phone now is because I'd prefer a bigger screen. I've no issues with the software and would actually prefer the iOS app store & iTunes store, given the choice.

You said in a previous post somewhere not long back that you also wanted to move away from your iPhone 5 because of some glitches. Will you stick it out with iOS 7.1 and then decide? My experiences with 7.1 have been good, much better than before. The screen is still too small though.

Did I say that? :eek: I may have mentioned iOS 7 being slightly less reliable than before, but it's been quite fine lately.

I don't really have any issues with the software, just the screen is a bit small and I've had the phone for quite a while so fancy a change.

I'll have no hesitation getting an iPhone 6 (or whatever it may be) if Apple do a good job of it though, at the end of the year.

I'm just installing 7.1 now!
 
I still highly rate the iPhone. The price though is too much for me now. I can afford one but knowing I paid twice as much as I would have for a Nexus would bug the **** out of me. Stock Android phones for me now on.

does anyone else's N5 pop up with a message after installing an app telling you how much free space you've got? probably because I've only got 5.8GB free of 32GB.

can I disable this?

Do you have ES File explorer installed? I'm pretty sure it comes from that.

If you could take all the parts from any phone and put them all together, none would be from an iPhone.

Nokia has the best cameras. Nexus have the best software. Samsung have the best screens.

Unsure on who has the best speakers.

Nokia has the best build quality.

Nexus, Moto G have the best price strategies.

The only reason why apple has more apps and that they are more stable and efficient is less SKU's available.

Make an app for android and it has to be compatible with thousands of different phones. Apple have like what 6-8 models or something which need to be supported.

IMO though that's no reason to pick apple. There's nothing I can't do on android that you can on apple. But plenty I can do on android that you can't on apple like Bluetooth an mp3 to each other.

I get that's all your opinion, but software is subjective. As are the screens, the IPS LCD on the iPhone is comparable to any other.

Nokia have the best camera on paper, but in reality it's not actually that good. In a point and shoot situation (which you want on a phone), the 5S is often considered to have the best camera. Let's not forget the size, too, the Lumia 1020 is much thicker than an iPhone.

HTC have the best speakers at the moment, and I think Apple's build quality is comparable to Nokia.

Value, yes. Do people always want value? You are getting what you pay for in the end. The Nexus, while excellent, is still flawed in areas where you wouldn't ideally want it to be.

The reason doesn't really matter, it's still the case. It's also not about the number of apps (doesn't Android have more?), it's about the quality of them.

If you're going to make a list of specific features, iOS isn't going to win, you have to see past that to understand the positives. It's the overall package. Also, if you were to Jailbreak an iPhone, that opens up many other options.

Now to repeat, I think Android is easily comparable, but it all comes down to personal preference. I hope Apple bump up the screen size for the next iPhone, I'm sure they will.
 
I don't get why Clov!s wouldn't try to get his phone changed though maybe if he had a properly working phone he would enjoy the android experience more.

The spigen neo hybrid looks nice, but what turns me off is the button on the phone are covered up.

I went with one of the spigen slim cases. Yet to arrive.

Letme know your thoughts on them! Yea, the neo hybrid does look good aesthetically, but also have concerns with how the buttons are handled.
 
Hmm. That would be put in my "cool, but pointless" pile. There are very few situations where I would want to unlock my phone by talking to it.
