I need help in making a decision!

IvanSnipedYu

So, in about 2 months I am getting a new phone ^_^ yay me! But the heck of me I couldn't decide which phone to get. I am in between a Nexus 5 or a Galaxy Note 3. I like the many feature of the Note 3 but there are many features of the Nexus 5 I like as well. The note has a bigger screen and the nexus has wireless charging. The nexus has stock android but the Note 3 has the S Pen. The Nexus has a lower price but the Note 3 has a bigger battery. I just couldn't make up my mind. So what phone do you think I should get? Any suggestion other than the 2 phones I have listed? I have considered other phones such as the G Flex, HTC, S4 or even the IPhone but I believe that I have narrowed it down to these 2 phones. Any suggestion would help even if you don't agree with the 2 I have narrowed the list down to. Thanks in advance.

I think it comes down to whether you want a big phone or not. For me personally, I wouldn't go with a Note 3 because it's just huge. If you think that you want a big phone, i.e. that extra screen real estate will come in handy for you then, I would say Note 3. If you don't want a massive phone then I think you should go with the Nexus 5.

I'd prefer the Nexus 5 because of the more managable size and relevant features. Something like wireless charging means al ot more to me than the S Pen, which I just would not use. Stock android is a plus.

I'd hold off for now. In a couple weeks MWC happens, and they'll be showing off TONS of new devices that will roll out in the following few months.

Phones to keep an eye out for are the Samsung S5, Oppo Find 7, possibly the LG G3.

 

If you really want to get a phone now, the Note 3 is a great device. It's not as big once you've handled it for a bit. Consider this: it's only 12mm taller than the Nexus 5. Not that much.

I used to HATE big phones, but I've been considering a Note series phone since most of the 5" flagships are creeping up to that size anyway.

You can also get wireless charging with the Note 3.

As for stock Android, you can always go the Cyanogenmod route.

I honestly don't really care about size. Big screen or small screen has their own benefits. I can't make up my mind T_T

Money is no object =p well it is but I don't mind paying for either phone.

S pen could come in useful like when you're out for dinner and you write down you're orders or taking notes in class when you forget you're notebook.

No,,, cool phone but the screen ruins it for me.

I'm not getting it right away, I'm getting the phone in like 3 months. Thanks for you're input, you're suggestion is great.

 

Sorry for late replies.
