Nexus 5 or LG G2

[keno]

Planning on getting one of these phone off contract. Both are the Same price "£330" I know the both of them have very similar specs apart from camera which doesn't bother me too much but i do like the stock android more than i like the LG UI. So what do you guys think i should get?

LG G2 is better in every way... You can easily change the ROM.

Nexus 5 master race!

I know, it's overused, but it is true, I have no regrets buying my Nexus 5.

I would get a new Xperia Z1 at that price. They cost about 320 pounds off contract new and the Z1 is water resistant and all.

 

I also think the Sony has a longer lasting battery and the Sony UI is very close to stock android unlike LG or Samsung's. 

 

I think it's the best of both worlds really.

I really don't like the Glass in the back of the phone.

Nexus 5 !!!!!

Nexus 5 most definitely. Don't get the LG G2. I heard the software on it is crap.

I thought Kitkat 4.4.2 made it a little better.

It's the LG skinning that is atrocious (as I've heard). My friend has recently got the Nexus 5 and I can tell you, pure Android is better than anything else.

I do like the look of stock Android.

LG G2 is hands down superior to the Nexus 5. LG's Optimus UI sucks big time, but luckily it's simple enough to root the G2 and put a custom ROM on it.

 

Protip: DO NOT FLASH VANIRROM.

Start with this and then work your way up.

Nexus 5 looks so cheap to me

[Rhino2112000]

NEXUS 5!!!!!!! LG G2 sucks. No offscreen buttons and the only ones are on the back and the volume buttons are stupid.

[Zappy]

The hardware on the G2 is better, the software on the Nexus 5 is superior.

Z1 Compact

After using my Galaxy nexus, I am not going to switch to any non-nexus devices.

Protip: DO NOT FLASH PAC-ROM, it a buggy piece of shit

[MalignantQuechnitlan]

I've had both, and i prefer the G2. The battery is AMAZING
