New rumors say the Nexus 5 in its 32GB version could cost 399$, which should transform to 399€ in Europe. That's less difference to the LG G2 as I expected. In Germany you can buy the LG G2 in its 16GB version (with software branding, but we're at xda...) for 427,80€ - see attachment.

What makes the LG G2 better than the Nexus 5? Would it be better to pay almost 30€ more and give up 16GB of storage to get the G2?

so you lose 16gb of storage but you gain GRAM (better battery life), a 13MP camera and a slightly larger screen. If you don't need the 16GB of storage the G2 would be a pretty easy sell.

Having said that I highly doubt there will be a 3000 mAh battery in the N5, its just a very unconfirmed rumor thats not supported by the FCC, leaked log or leaked manual.

What is GRAM? Software? Won't use stock anyway. The bigger screen is nice but also makes handling worse and slightly decreases dpi. I don't know if that's a real benefit for me. So basically only the camera would be really interesting? And probably the battery? I doubt that about the 32GB version battery too, but you never know...
Is there nothing else special about the G2?

Thank you for your helpful contribution. I haven't seen such a thread, sorry.

Yea if you go to a store that sells the G2 and compare it to the optimus G (more squarish but almost same size as the leaked N5) there is a pretty noticeable size difference, definitely effects the handling of the device. over about 320 DPI the average human eye cant tell a difference in DPI So I would not worry about that.

If you want to read up on GRAM check out this article... its basically an battery efficiency tool, supposed to add 10-15% battery life. No word yet on if the N5 gets GRAM. the Camera is just one of those things we wont know how it stacks up till its released.

Well if you don't need the 16GB, a $299 Nexus 5 would be an even easier sell.
