Smartphone Decision!

Alright so I'm wondering about getting either a Nexus 5 or a LG G2. Now Obviously the G2 is better in many ways, but that does come at a cost of the price. While on the other hand the Nexus 5 does give a good bang for the buck, although that is so, that also comes at a price regarding the quality and workmanship of the device. What are your thoughts on this?

OK, how is the G2 better in many ways?

 

They are nearly identical when it comes to hardware.....

 

the Nexus 5 is based off of the G2

I have a nexus 5 and I haven't had any major issues with the build quality in fact the software experience is superior to LG's skinned version of android (my opinion of course)

Nexus 5 is the best value of the 2.

Reasons to get an LG G2

 

-camera is better

-battery is larger (2300mah vs 3000mah)

-bigger screen (5inch vs 5.2) (this is personal preference but 5.2 inch is the sweetspot for me)

-LG skin ontop of android (its to animated for me but its better then shitwiz)

 

imo go with the Nexus because of stock android
