Nexus 5 vs LG G2 vs HTC One vs Samsung Galaxy S4
IMO, these are the best ~5 inch display android smartphones (that are not overly large like the note 3) as of right now.
At the moment, I am leaning most towards the Nexus 5, which I have been getting very hyped for in the last couple of months. Now that it is out, however, I am staring to rethink my inclination because of the few shortcomings of this phone. It has amazing specs (at least, in processing power, display, and memory) that just honestly cannot be argued against. And also, I love the new Android 4.4, and the complete stock, google android look just seems so amazing.
I know people are very critical of the speakers, but this topic does not apply to me whatsoever, because I almost never use speakers on my phone anyways.
However, one problem that could potentially be a very annoying issue is battery life - although it isn't a small battery, I have heard the 2,300 mAh battery is very unreliable and never lasts a full day. This concerns me because one of the largest problems with my current iPhone 4s is the terrible battery life, and I really want a phone whose battery life I don't constantly have to be monitoring/worrying about. If anyone has personal experience with the battery, please share it.
Also, I have heard complaints about the camera; however, in many comparisons that I see the Nexus 5, although its camera has definite flaws, has pretty good quality photos. But I want to hear from people who have experience with the other phones' that I listed camera. Even though I don't take a crazy amount of photos with my phone, is it so much of a difference that I would start to want to take photos with a different phone and not be inclined to take photos with the Nexus 5?
So, this thread is basically asking to compare the Nexus 5 to the other top-quality phones that I listed. I'm almost about to get the Nexus 5 - can anybody give me either any reasons against this or finalize my choice.
