I'm getting my new phone shortly and I'm in a pickle here. I can't decide which one to get. What would you get if you were in my shoes?
Generally the Nexus 5 has no comparison against the GS4 because of its price to performance ratio, and although the Nexus is priced much lower it still has the better package and performs better than the S4. Seems a no-brainer right? But it isn't because where I live prices are quite close. The Nexus 5 (16Gb) is available for about $399 and the S4 is about $440.
I've always wanted the S4 but then the Nexus 5 came out and destroyed the market. I really like the stock android experience that the Nexus line offers but still it lacks some features. For instance it lacks the IR Blaster and I've heard bad things about its camera. The S4 on the other hand comes with TouchWiz but I will eventually flash cyanogenmod on it, comes with a very nice Camera and a bevy of other features.. But it does have an older and weaker SOC.
I could get a Nexus 5 with a wireless charger for another $50 at $450 or I could get a GS4 (Black Edition) at $440.
So.... what would you all recommend?
