Moto G 2014 or LG Nexus 5? Which should I buy?

[Wickens]

Another year has started, and I feel like kicking it off with a new phone. I'm currently running a 2013 Moto G, which is still completely functional. However, I feel like it isn't too bad to replace it right now, considering that I can get it's succesor, the Moto G 2014, on eBay for only £158. However, in my searching, I also discovered the Nexus 5, selling for £208. So, my question is, what should I go for? Whilst the Nexus 5 is faster than the Moto G, it doesn't have expandable storage, or as big a screen. But then again, the Nexus 5 does also have NFC, and it's only .1 inches less than the Moto G.

 

Thank you for any input!

 

EDIT: My budget is £210. Phone has to be unlocked, so I can transfer my current SIM over.

If it's that small of a difference and you're willing to spend that much, the Nexus 5 is easily one of the best phones I've ever used. It's excellent and still performed the same way it did the day I got it, with only a small bit of maintenance.

Yes, that's my main issue. The difference doesn't really seem to warrant another £50. I'm more leaning to the Nexus 5 because I've always liked it, as a Google flagship, but I know that the Moto G is better value. If there were some other difference that made up that £50, it'd seem more worth my money.

Why would you get the MotoG 2014? It has the same internal specs. Only differences are its camera and the speakers.

+ its display isn't as sharp as the 2013 model.

The nexus 5's internals easily validate the extra £50.

Well said. Well, now I'm stuck in a bottomless pit again.

Nexus 5 easily. The main concern has been the battery life on it, but since it went to 5.0 that concern faded away and it performs even faster, so it's the best choice hands down. I wouldn't upgrade from a Moto G to a Moto G 2014, it just doesn't justify the upgrade for me as it's only a camera upgrade and sd slot, front stereo speakers are nice too but not that big of a deal. Also, the 5" screen drains the battery faster so it's a bit less sharp and the battery lasts shorter than on the Moto G 2013.

If it was moto x vs nexus 5 then it would be close but the moto g can't really compete with the nexus 5. I have a nexus 5 for more then half a year now and it is an amazing phone the stock android is so much better imo.For 50$ you get a better display, better spec,better camera and faster update from google

Okay then, guess it's the Nexus 5. Thanks a lot everyone!
