For people who went from the HTC One to the Nexus 5, what are your thoughts?

So had it for an hour now. Quick couple things I notice.

Screen: HTC has whiter whites. No doubt. But still a very nice screen with no pixelation on N5. Brightness is about the same unless you're on a white screen, then the One is brighter.

Speakers: yes its a major difference. HTC one is louder and clearer. No surprise. That said, the N5 doesn't seem to be too tinny.

Volume/power buttons: much more pronounced and raised on N5. Power on the right, volume on left. Wish the power button was slightly lower, however. But I still like it on the side.

Size: seems slightly easier to hold and smaller than my girlfriends s4 (5 inch screen) and just a little wider than the One. Really not too big of a difference IMO. Height is about the same if not a mm smaller.

Performance: it really is faster than my one. This thing is faster. Period. The play store for example is much more fluid and backing out of apps is noticeably quicker. Loading apps is also a bit quicker in some cases.

Camera: I'm not a professional. I am not too picky. It'll do fine for me and I know this already with 2 pictures. I don't care too much about it. One thing that you can do with the N5 that you can't really do with the one is ZOOM!!!! That's the one thing with the One that bugged me most with only 4 megapixels. So there's that.

Software: I love stock android and I really liked sense. That said, my HTC one was running a Google play edition ROM and I don't miss sense. There may be a few features from sense that you'll miss but kit Kat is REALLY nice. Seriously.

I think that'll be all for now. Battery I'm not going to touch on right now. Everything is my opinion. If someone else disagrees, good for you. That's your opinion. So far, I really like this phone and hopefully I'll love it just like my one.

One last thing, I'm not a big fan of the updated keyboard. Its the same style but the secondary keys are rearranged differently and the text prediction/auto correct doesn't seem as good as the previous Google keyboard. I'm going to track down the previous version and use that.

Build quality seems to be very good as well. Feels very solid and it has a good weight to it. The soft back has a good feel to it as well. Very different from the One.

Damn. I didn't order until the 1st. It would be interesting to know actual number of units sold.
