LG G2 vs LG Nexus 5 - G2 General

Hey guys, can anyone comment or give me there honest opinion which way I should go. I am on my 6th Nexus 5 replacement (RMA) and I'm getting tired of it. Have not been able to enjoy my device BUT have now been offered a refund. I have been looking at other options is live to get the Moto X but this is only available at a extremely high premium that I cannot justify to pay in Australia. My next best option is the LG G2. Can I get some honest feedback please, is it a worthy upgrade from the Nexus 5 or should I look at other options. I've heard that the G2 hasn't got the best UI, will this change with the upgrade to KitKat 4.4?
Any opinions would be helpful in making my decision.
Thanks in advance!

Does Franco support this device with his kernel?

Thanks for your answers and my appologies for comparison thread.

I had both and kept the G2. No comparison hardware wise. Screen is much better, reception is far better, build quality is better, design is better, camera is better, speaker is better, and headphone out quality is a ton better,. The stock rom is really good for stock, and CM11 absolutely takes care of any desire to go back to the Nexus. Just my 2 cents though.

LG G2

I can't believe how butthurt people get over a simple discussion comparing Android devices. I used to find it strange that you couldn't make a thread comparing phones, but now I kinda get it.
Keep N5 if you absolutely want an active xda community and if you want an AOSP experience
Go for G2 if you want better battery, camera and sound
It's currently on 4.2.2, 4.4 on its way. Entirely possible to theme it to not look like a Serbian diskotek, but unfortunately the AOSP ports are pretty bad. Everything works but the camera and audio drivers are substandard and the kernel isn't optimized for this device.

Nah that's just an opinion. Nexus colours are more true to real life.
Oh yeah and the battery is obsviously better on the G2 but who cares because the N5 has Franco kernel.
Bottom line it all comes down to personal preference and price.

Didn't we get the hint yet? Just wondering. It's personal preference op. I have the n5 and love it. I've also played with the g2. As far as the screen being alot better I don't see it.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I have the G2 mainly because the N5 isn't on Verizon and my work provides me the phone. The G2 is the closest thing to the N5 I could get. The only thing I worry about is long term support by the community for future roms and what not. Right now the G2 has root, custom recoveries and a nice selection of custom roms but how long will dev support last going forward.

Pretty dumb that comparison threads aren't allowed

Ive found that the 4.4.2 camera update equals if not bests the G2. (I have both, but keeping my Nexus 5 due to the fact that there are no clean, simple CIQ free ROM developers anymore)

nexus 4 comparo to Optimus G

So I have had my Nexus 4 now for a few days and I was asked to compare. So here goes. The Nexus 4 is what the Optimus G should have been it has the same beautiful build but with a better n hand feel and nicer accents, chrome, pattern on back glass etc. It is ridiculously fast I mean faster than even the G it also has a lot of extra functionality with Jellybean ala google now, lock screen widgets and a much better LED notification light which works well with light flow. The camera is basically the same if not for the better interface and photosphere from jellybean. I had grown to love the Optimus G and this just extends my love affair. Nexus is the ultimate optumus G I do not miss the storage as I use a lot of cloud. I have all my music some videos and a good amount of apps I believe 57 and I have 11gb left. The battery seems to be about the same and I have used the nexus 4 more because I was playing with my new toy. All in all I do not regret my choice to switch at all I love my nexus twins

I posted it here because people pm'd me and asked me. They knew I was getting a nexus and I posted it. Why don't you G users get a grip. I'm not offending anyone just explaining what I see. Its a phone not your child

You're acting like a child simply because people tell you that this is not the correct spot for a different phone on this forum. If you wanna talk about the Nexus 4, there's a forum for that phone or private messages.
Your temper and logic is very unbecoming.
I don't see what the big deal is having this thread in the OG forum. Granted, I'm new here, but since I was going back and forth over which of these two phones to get, and the poster had a OG and is now comparing the two, I for one find it relevant to my interests.
BTW, I have an OG, ICYWW.

Anyway,
The Nexus 4 General Forum has a thread called " [DISCUSSION] Google Nexus 4 vs any other phone" and it works quite well.
I think it would be best to have a discussion like that, and prohibit any other new threads.
I apologize to those that are reading this and asked me to post this.

My upgrade isn't until March 2014. May likely get the Galaxy Note 3 or the S5. Hopefully they have the 1080p resolution and the octa8 core processor. Also key lime pie. Then again other manufacturer's are starting to build better high end devices. Kind wanna see what they have in store for us in the future. For now the Galaxy Note is still an awesome device in my eyes.

The only reason I have so much faith in development is because when I gave away my captivate I regretted it because it has insane roms! The developers in this forum are solid too..
if they made a 4.5 to 4.7 inch 1080p phone that's fast as hell id jump ship
5inches is good..but for a year now rt I've realized I like the size of the gs3 or smaller way better

The gs3 is just a much better phone in general imo....
The i717 performs horribly in comparison.
I have both and the gs3 is my daily, the i717 tends to just sit in a box until someone will hopefully buy it. I put jellybean on it, played with it for a little bit but even still it was never as smooth or as battery friendly as the s3, not even on the same level.

Honestly when I got mine almost a year ago for 50 bucks though AT&T I'd take that offer. The price just dropped on the note one also. But AT&T just offered to take $100 off the upgrade price of the note two so, I honestly might take it. Told them I'd get back with them about it... Can't make up my mind!!! Ugh =(

Need help deciding on a phone

Galaxy S4 is close to my ideal phone, but I refuse to back a monopolist, judge me.
HTC One has fantastic build quality, when you get one that doesn't have monumental flaws and have to return it multiple times.
LG Optimus G Pro has no roms and the bootloader is locked tight for now it seems.
The HTC Max looks really square shaped.
Sony unveils products tomorrow, but who knows when they will release.
Is there a high end motorola phone coming? Is the Optimus G2 set to release soon? I need input and I have nothing to go off of.
Looking at your list, i would suggest you go for htc one. It is way better than s4 and g2..
I have personally used s4 and one for quite some time now. The difference is clearly visible using some tools. Anyway, the decision is all yours good luck with your new purchase.

You know, everyone seems to care about device support but I don't. Not even a little. I keep my devices for 9-12 months. When I had an iPhone I would absolutely dread updates. They would mean that my phone would get slower and, although updated, I wouldn't have any access to the awesome new features.

Depends on your usage. I use my G2 because the battery life is better, and the screen is the perfect size for me. I like my MotoX for the stock android + moto added features, and it's the most comfortable phone I've ever used.
Since this is all mostly subjective, can you tell us what don't you like about the G2 that you think you'll get on the MotoX?

yes switch...because u already thinking about it, if you thinking about it then this phone is not for u
I wouldnt switch. 3000mah is important to me, I can run google experience launche with the "ok google" feature all day long and my battery get down to 15% every night which is awesome. I dont install anything or disable anything to preserve battery life, I like to use my smart phone as a smart phone not as a battery bencher.
LOL why in the hell would u wanna switch ? unless you need money dont do it its a dumb question
This was something I was thinking about as well. IMO, the main reasons to choose the Moto X over the G2 is for its always on voice activation and its active notifications. If those two features outweigh having a better screen, better camera, and overall better hardware, then you should get the Moto X. Official Kit Kat is nice, but you can get that through a custom ROM or just by installing the Google Experience Launcher. I had 4.4 on my Galaxy Nexus and GEL feels the same, except with LG's notification bar and knock knock, and smoother because of the better hardware. Maybe it's because I haven't experienced the always on voice activation and the active notifications, but those two features aren't enough for me to switch.

You know that our processor has the capability of an "always on" voice recognition feature, right? Not saying it is going to be put in there on the kit kat upgrade, but I'm saying that it is a possibility, albeit a small one. If not, I am thinking of starting up a bounty thread to see if one of the amazing devs for this device can get it working. In fact, I am going to get on that right now.

Switch! You won't regret it.

You know that our processor has the capability of an "always on" voice recognition feature, right? Not saying it is going to be put in there on the kit kat upgrade, but I'm saying that it is a possibility, albeit a small one. If not, I am thinking of starting up a bounty thread to see if one of the amazing devs for this device can get it working. In fact, I am going to get on that right now.

I know, Hexagon DSP. Unfortunately it's only available to OEMs right now. Emailed the dev for Open Mic+ and Qualcomm hasn't opened to independent devs just yet. It would be nice if they did include it with Kit Kat, but I'm not holding my breath. The apps are there to give us the same functionality as the Moto X, but the battery drain isn't worth it to me.
I traded my motox for a G2 and never liked back. The motox is really nice and the overall user experience is great but it's tiny. Yes the screen size is the same as the n4 but it's only 6mm bigger than the iPhone 5s. Just keep that in mind and that u will also lose features like the IR Blaster.

I had a G2 for 2 months, and just switched to a Moto X Developer Edition. I missed unskinned Android, and the overblown interface on the G2 was just too much. The Moto X seems smoother, and the user experience, with Active Display and Touchless Controls, is far better for my needs.
Hope this helps!
