Moto G or Nexus 5? [POLL]

[IamNewie]

Ok guys , so Im planning to buy my first android smartphone. There are 2 phones that Im interested in the moto G and the Nexus 5. Nexus 5 cost like $500 in here , while the moto G is about to be released but I still don't know the price yet but I'll predict that it will be sold like <$300 here for 16gb. I'll play several heavy games like real racing 3 and probably light games. I'm not kind of a big mobile gamer. I'm probably a power user , since I'll browse the web several times. We don't have LTE ready yet here but LTE would be optional since I rarely hangout with friends and use wifi more than mobile data. I'm not a power photographer too, but a decent camera would be fine for me.

 

Edit :

 

I forgot 1 thing , Im actually about to buy a gaming pc that would cost me like $1000 for full PC setup. So I'm really on a tight budget for a smartphone since I'm still using a blackberry which suck balls. So what do you guys think? Nexus 5 then wait for a few more months or Moto G that I could only wait for a few months less than buying nexus 5 to buy gaming pc?

I use my moto g for almost all day and the battery lasts, I play games like Real Racing 8 and some light indie style games like Trampoline Man. No lag what so ever, love it.

I think the poll answers your question.

The Nexus is the clear winner.

Moto G vs Nexus 5 is like comparing fast food to $100 food from a 5 star restaurant. Nexus 5 has the best stats for it's price range and it's basically the best phone for the money at the moment

I'm so happy, the Moto X will be in the UK on the 1st, ny next phone definitely. Screw the Nexus 5; the battery is terrible (or so I hear).

so you hear, that is outdated information, the 4.4.2 update has improved it's battery life and picture quality

Ooh, I'll have to give my mate's one another try then. I like it, but I prefer the smaller size of mu current phone (Sony Xperia S), which the Moto X pretty much is the same as.

yeah that's one of the main selling points with the Moto X, but you should give some time to get used to the size of any phone

First off. I have a nexus and my neighbour the g.

monday i came back from school. had heared some songs and mad a  few pictures there. at home I checked facebook and stuff and then(around 4pm) i looked at the battery-info and i still had 95%.. 

last night i didn't reload and it was a long day.. i took several videos and make a lot of pictures. i heared 15min music too and today the same. now at 5:22 the battery is over 30%. 

i think thats quite good.

One more question then , Which colour to get ? White or Black? I got a sweaty hand disease so I don't want my phone to be full of grease and look disgusting

black, it has matte all around it not the shiny sides like on white. my black nexus 5 doesnt have any fingerprints and i love it.

It depends, if you want something smaller and cheaper get the Moto G, if you want the best of the best get the Nexus 5. For a first time android user there isn't much difference, the skin on the Moto G is almost undetectable.

The Nexus 5 is much, much much better (not taking price into consideration).

Better camera, much better CPU, much better GPU, the screen is so much better (not just sharpness thanks to higher PPi but accuracy as well), more RAM, updates straight from Google, most likely better third party dev support as well, wireless charging, NFC, 5GHz WiFi, 802.11ac WiFi, bigger screen... I could go on but you get the point.

I've edit the main post so I'm reconsidering my decision

I think the Moto G. The Moto G has a good quad core Snapdragon 1.2GHz, very good for its price. It has a pretty good 329ppi 1280x720 screen, and a 2070 mAH battery, which can last over 24 hrs continuous use. All of this for only 175-200 bucks. Nexus, like the others said, have other better features, but way to expensive. If you don`t need all those fancy features, get a Moto G, like I am trying to save for now.
