Hi all.. I've had my nexus 4 for quite some time now and loved it..but it's time to upgrade.

Before I got the N4 I was always upgrading to the newest phone but this one stuck with me. A bit too long lol.

I am debating between the s5 and g3.. Will be on t mobile.
Have any of you switched from the n4 to either? Opinions?

Thanks

Had chance to test both of them,.. Lg G3 i would choose,.. Regardless if u r planning to use original rom or custom rom. It feels more confident than Samsung, and another thing, spare parts are around 30% cheaper, at least in my country.

s5 has plenty of features but google is more of a "clean" phone

I feel like I am getting biased opinions in this matter because the nexus four is part LG so that's why your all choosing the LG G3

But I'm not sure if I want another nexus phone.. I skipped out on the n5. My brother in law has one and it doesn't seem like anything special.

Alright, understandable. Whatever choice you make, I'm sure it will be the right one. Many good devices out there.

Visited a store today..
Both phones feel very solid. I liked the display on the g3 more but what I hated about it is the volume rocker is on the back of the phone...dumbest thing ever IMO.

I just bought my first Android device coming from a long line of Windows phones. I've handled my friends Galaxy S4s and saw the S5 in store. I ended up purchasing the G3. I gotta say its a slick device.

Have you gotten used to the buttons on the back? I feel like I'll hate that feature so much.

They took a little to get used to, but they don't bother me. I kinda like how the sides are smooth.

MAY i recommend oppo find 7a if you crave more battery life OR the find7 if you want high performance and more sharp screen on expense of less battery life ? in either case its removable so no worries , its a solid build which kicks lg g3's ass
