If the nexus 5 is more impressive than my GS4 GPE I'll more than likely get it. Right now I'm thinking there is no need to move on to the nexus 5. Minus the Snapdragon 800 I don't see any other compelling reason to move to the Nexus 5. That within itself isn't reason enough. I'm going to wait and see what it has to offer.
With a Gpe device you should be receiving updates along the same schedule/lifetime as previous Nexus devices. Personally, I would not sell for a N5 if I had either the One or S4 gpe.
So if you had the money saved up and waiting and had a s4 GPe, would you go for the Nexus 5 or Moto X developers edition? I will wait for the full story but will be transitioning to one of these most likely and the nano SIM. I do not really want to mess with the adapters so not sure if my S4's will make the switch.
I will be keeping my S4 GPE. I don't need a faster processor for what I use my phone for. The screen is slightly larger and with hardware buttons there is more usable screen space.
Plus it works perfectly with groove ip and music sounds great. Both of which are hit or miss even with flagship android phones.
Depending on the pricepoint, I'm actually thinking about buying the N5 and keeping the S4GPe. My S4 was out of commission for a couple weeks recently and not having a backup smartphone was kind of a drag. Plus who *doesn't* want to wake up to that kind of phone choice every morning?
As mentioned earlier in the thread, the Snapdragon 800 is definitely not reason enough for me to give up my beloved GS4GE. If I didn't already have this phone, I'd definitely go for the Nexus 5. However, I'll skip this iteration. The GS4GE has plenty of life left in it to last me until October 2014.
Keeping my GPe for now....based on the Nexus rumors as of now and the leaked manual, don't think it would offer much of an upgrade. More importantly..... bring on the Android 4.4 KitKat!

I agree with you. Our S4 GE has SD card and Movable Battery. I heard a lot of complaining about N5 camera and I will wait til they release N6. That's more reasonable for me.
Don't forget to bring us 4.4 kitkat update, Google.
