Nexus 5 or IPhone 5C

[hawthorne]

Hello,

 

My contract runs out towards christmas and I have the option for a new phone. 

 

Here is my question, stick with android (nexus 5) or switched to IOS (IPhone 5C. 

 

Pros for Nexus 5

• Pure android
• Large screen
• better specs
• Lollipop

Pros for IPhone

• Syncs with itunes (big pro)
• Better camera 

At the moment I am leaning more towards the iphone as all I am planning on using the phone for is music and taking the occasion photo. I use itunes on my computer a lot and this ability to sync it a huge advantage.

 

But I want to hear your opinion.

 

This post is getting pretty long so I will let the poll do the talking.

Nexus 5... Aside from me not liking Apple's business practice, but Nexus 5 is outright better (my opinion)...

 

Also, i'm using iTunes to transfer music to listen on my iPod, and it's horrible! It's so counter intuitive... When i first got it as a gift, i just copy pasted my music, and nothing, and i was like "WTF"...

 

Also, why couldn't you use Nexus 5 for Music

First time I heard iTunes is a pro.

If you want you could do a select all and drag from iTunes into the nexus5...

 

As per the phones, I have a nexus 5. The Iphone5 is a solid option if you like iOS but, I dislike it.

I have used both android and IOS in the past so i am familiar with both and like both, that is why I am finding this decision hard.

Since you added a poll for us to give you a suggestion, look at:

 

- Moto X 2013, a very good phone

- Moto G 2014, also a very good phone

 

 

And if you can, try looking at Sony Xperia Z2/3 and HTC One M8

There's more pros for the nexus and you're still leaning towards the iphone? Logic.

I would go with the Nexus, however I can see why some individuals would chose the Iphone.

 

There is no clear winner, the choice is yours

 

I will add a +1 for also considering the M8 and Moto X.

If I had the budget I would definately go for a m8, sony is out of the question because the doesn't really bring any feature. I have looked at the old Moto X as it is half the price on ebay. 

 

Looking at the specs of the moto X it is an upgrade in every way to my current phone ( Htc one s ) unlike the nexus 5 ( the camera being the same if not a bit worse).

 

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely look into the Moto x

Quality not quantity

nexus 5. the old moto x's processing power is a bit dated but still a great choice for its unique features like the active display and twist to turn on the camera, plus I've seen some pretty good deals online.
