Nexus 5 or LG G3

[TheMarcus]

Yeah, stock android is clean, quick and simple. Its all I have known for the last 3 years. Nervous about trying a non nexus device but I think I'm gonna give the g3 a try.

Stock Android is all I've known. I had the Nexus 4 before my Nexus 5 and, before that, the G2x (aka Optimus 2X), Optimus V, and Optimus M all pretty much offered a stock experience with very little variations.

Stock Android is overrated. Aside from the launcher and the appearance of your settings menu, what is stock? Non vanilla flavors of Android, ie the LG UI, give you the kind of stuff you'd get from a ROM anyway such as customizable quick settings or navigation bar functionality.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had the Galaxy nexus, N4 and N5. I'll be in t mobile tomorrow.

I have both and I prefer the camera, size, display, and features on the g3.

Stock android is nice, but the LG software is greatly improved from the g2 and doesn't feel like a skin.

This is actually where I'm worried. I've only had LG phones, but before this, I didn't have to worry about updates with the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. The phone I had before those, the T-Mobile G2x, seemed like it didn't get the support it needed before getting pushed under the rug.

I feel your pain with the G2x, it was a great phone for the most part but like you said they literally released it and forgot about it

Matt, I responded to you in your nexus thread, I think I'm gonna go g3, keep my n5 as a back up........

How are you liking it so far?

I currently have a G3, M8, and Nexus 5. The G3 is definitely my daily driver, it is a fantastic phone. That being said, I will always have a Nexus device close by for when I want to try out the new versions of Android as they are released.

To me the G3 wouldn't be an upgrade from the N5, since I don't like any UI's except stock google. The N5 is still a top phone and can hold its own. I'm waiting for the next big jump in phone tech (64bit-8core-4gb ram) before I buy another flagship device. My N5 will serve me well in the meantime. For that matter, my N4 is still a good phone to use also.

But hey, do whatever floats yer boat.
