2015 Nexus: LG Nexus 5 or Huawei Nexus 6? Which will you buy?

[Google10]

If the Huawei has better specs, that one.

Depends on how well its made the 6 I'll be waiting till February or so. Hoping 64gb is the only choice this whole two size versions is totally lame... N6 2014 I got from AT&T only offered 32gb version an Google an Motorola were out of stock didn't want to wait.... If its a flop then I'll wait till 2016 for the launch of Android N

I wouldn't mind seeing 64GB become the base option, but for somebody that only needs 32GB, they should have that option in order to save $50.

It was frustrating when 32GB was the only option last year. I remember every Wednesday they'd get inventory and it'd sell out in 3 minutes. The 32GB midnight blue was the only option available.

This year I'm getting the 64MB LG version. Hopefully they'll have a dark gray/black version, with that gun metal kinda look on the iPhone or M9.

I need two phones this year, so I'll grab the Hauwei version or Moto Pure.

nice article ... too bad AC doesn't write articles like this anymore. instead it's the same generic "how to set up your Moto G" type reporting that's made things quite stale IMO

Huawei's have excellent build quality. By the way iPhones are all manufactured by Foxconn in China.

Latest rumored specs on Huawei Nexus 6:

820 processor
5.7'' 2k screen
4 gb ddr4 ram
21 MP main camera
3500 mAH battery
32, 64 GB memory
front facing duel speakers
USB 3 C
$500, $550 price

Beastly to be sure but I can't give up my Nexus 6 as long as its being upgraded, unless a nexus is released with a 6.1''+ screen.

So I guess I'm waiting until the Nexus 6 2017, assuming that there will once again be a phablet Nexus option. If not then I guess I'll be getting either the older Nexus phablet (on clearance right before new nexus launch) or a Moto phablet.

That is unless Lenovo messes up Moto's glorious stock+ moto assist software.

In that case, I don't know. If Samsung doesn't reverse its disastrous Note decision then I'll have no choice but to import a MediaPad X4, also from Huawei but probably lacking all the LTE bands I need (they are missing band 12) on T-Mo.

Still, I can't go back to a sub 6'' phone, I just can't.

Nexus 5. The reason I didn't get the Nexus 6 is because the phone is way too big. 5.2 inches is the max screen I'd go.

if I owned the Nexus 6 I'd expect 3 years minimum out of it ... I'd rather put the extra cash toward my home audio setup or a new laptop (which I did in 2014-2015).

I'm leaning towards the Nexus 5. I think the N6 might be too big for me.

However if the Nexus 6 has some features that I feel are better than the Nexus 5, I'll go with that.

I just hope that both phones have pretty large batteries respective to their screen sizes.

Totally agree on all counts.

I think they'll both have the same features, aside from maybe the hardware, but the specs will be different.

what are u looking for in order to consider the Hauwei?

I don't see Samsung giving up on the sealed battery/removable storage in just a year. unfortunately I think that ship has sailed.

 

[Sophos]

I'm planning on ordering both devices and selling the one I love less.

I'm fairly certain the form factor of the LG will suit me better but I am attracted to the higher specs/premium materials rumored to be on the Hauwei.

I play with my food

An all metal premium build would help (a lot of people don't care, but I do), also if the Huawei's camera has OIS where the LG doesn't, or if the Huawei's battery is really big for a 5.7" phone vs a moderate battery for a 5.2" phone etc.

Things like that. I don't there will be big glaring differences between the two but I'm prepared to get either. Hopefully the size of the Huawei doesn't get to me as I typically like smaller phones useable with one hand.

That's not a bad idea. Buy then both, give them both a solid week or two usage and then sell the one you like less.

Might do that actually. Hopefully the pricing for the two isn't too crazy.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to double post.

Rumored prices for Nexus 5 are $400,$450.

Now that I own the current Nexus 6, I can see definitely wanting a Nexus 5, the 6 is pretty big. But I can't see moving from the Motorola Nexus 6 to the Huawei Nexus 6, except to get fingerprint reader capability. That's not enough in my book.

I'm not worried because I don't do Samsung lol.

 

[Zendroid1]

I should have put the Both option in my poll. That's what I'll most likely be doing at this point.
