Help me decide

Hi!

 

So, I'm getting a new phone in the near future. I started with a very tight budget and I was planing to get a Moto G. Then I got some more money and now I don't know wich phone to choose. The two phones that I'm looking at are the 1+ 1 and the Nexus 5. The 1+ 1 is cheaper and has better specs but the N5 is smaller and it comes from a brand with a good reputation.

 

What do you think?

Easy decision, get a Nexus 5 because it's the only one of the two that you can actually purchase.

 

Yeah I might get the Nexus 5.

 

 

If you get an invite for 1+ 1 then get that one. 

 

No, I don't have an invite.

1+1 for sure. Cyanogen lets you do (in my opinion) very basic stuff that STILL hasn't been implemented in the source AOSP code that allows you to customize the quicktiles. I am personally waiting, but that's because I already have a good phone with me. It all depends on your urgency to get a phone, if you need it now, get the Nexus 5, if you are dealing waiting for this stupid invite shit, then go 1+1, as it's a better product than the Nexus 5 is all aspects (except for google updates OFC).

My only problem with the 1+1 is the size, I have large hands for my age but I don't know if 5.5 inches is too much.
