Samsung Devices vs. Nexus Devices: Need Help Choosing

[Fishfam4]

@Fishfam4, just requested permission to view. I'll be buying a new phone in spring and i'm already doing preliminary research based on what's currently available on my carrier (of course, not counting anything they'll add to the lineup after MWC in Barcelona).

I gave you permission. As for the research, I'm in the same position. My iPhone 4 is cool and all, and so is the 5S and 6 concepts, but I want something that I can customize and tweak to my heart's desire, and unless Eric Schmidt becomes CEO of Apple, (fat chance) Apple won't ever allow that.

Right now, I like the Note 3 for hardware spec/performance/features. (I plan on disabling a good portion of them, after trying them out). But not sold on the screen size. Would be nice when I want to view stuff - but on the large side to pocket. Not impossible, but still.

I agree. I can barely fit my dad's iPhone 5 in my pocket, much less a phone 1.7" bigger. XD (although I probably won't be able to pocket a N5 either.)

MotoX Sounds great, good battery life, more compact size. BUT after the last 2.5 years with my Gnex I want something more then just bone-stock Android. And that's about what I'd be getting with the MotoX.

The Moto X has failed to wow me. The idea of customizing it is negated for me, as I'd just get all black. The specs are old and sub-par, and there's probably going to be an update soon. It's been out for what, 7 months?

Undecided:G2. Have to do hand's on to see if I could handle the buttons on the back. Thinking it could be either an easy switch, or something that would bug me forever. Good thing I've got another couple months to research and decide!!

Wait and see what the G Pro2 has to offer, it's gonna be a lot newer (and bigger) than the G2. Also, if I was considering a G2, I'd side for the G Flex, as I'd get everything the G2 has, plus I'd get the cool factor the curve has.

Yikes. So, I just checked when I could upgrade my phone (it was given to me as a birthday gift) and I can't upgrade until December. XD Talk about premature research. So technically I'll have the choice to get the Note 3/Nexus 6, Galaxy Note PRO 8.0/Nexus 7 2014 and Galaxy Note PRO 12.2/Nexus 10 (2?)...
