I think it's time for a new phone, suggestions?

I had the Galaxy Nexus since it came out. Great phone but I think it is time for an upgrade. I was really considering the Nexus 5, but is there anything else I should be looking at. I'm not looking to have the newest best phone out there, just something more reliable and stable then GNex. Are the Moto G phones any good? If my next replacement can be under $200 and still be a huge upgrade then that would be perfect. The Nexus 5 phones any good? Any other phones out there worth looking into?
Thanks

G3 is high end spec and you can get it for free at most carriers. Love mine worth knock on and the rear buttons once you try it you would want it in every phone. This phone will blow the nexus out of the water and compete with all the top models. S5 iPhone 6 not 4. For the size of the screen its the smallest profile out there

My wife uses MotoG for half a year now and I'm really positively suprised by the stability of this phone. She has rebooted it only a few times since she has it. Performance is also good for a daily driver. I think it's a good mid-budget phone.

I have a nexus 6 as my daily but I also have a second gen moto G on T-Mobile running Lollipop 5.0.1 and it does very well. No LTE but a great phone for the money.

I got a nexus 4 used for 150.
Try craigslist.

Moto G 2nd Gen or Nexus 4
tried the Nexus 4 that I gave to my brother which he had updated to lollipop, hell my Galaxy S5 with Lollipop is jealous of how buttery smooth it is! Better go with Nexus 4 or Moto G 2nd Gen for that Bang of the buck stock android experience!

Went to the nexus 5. Best phone for me atm with still a relative small screen.
I didn't know I missed the gnex curve though.

You might also consider a nice Samsung Note 3 Neo, but considers that there revolve around many communities. I have bought one months ago a friend of mine, and I must say I was very satisfied in terms of performance thanks to six cores. :good:

For my usage I find gnexus still good. If I have to change my phone the choices are low budget or higher budget. Low: moto g 2013/2014, redmi 1s (soon redmi 2s), honor 3c, rumors about new oppo anti xiaomi. High: One plus one, lg g2/g3, mi3/4, nexus 5, meizu mx4. In my opinion there is not so much difference between gnex and low budget smartphone in daily usage. You can try to perform a factory reset if you find your gnex slow and install a custom rom. Moto g 2013 takes worst photos than gnex (I don't know about 2014). 1s has problems with stock miui and kernel source has not been published (not good for developers).

Sorry, I forgot about this thread. I completely overlooked the Nexus 4. Seems a MUCH more powerful phone then Galaxy Nexus and the Moto for under $150. Since GNEX is getting me by on heavy day to day use, I think Nexus 4 will be more then sufficient. thanks everyone for the help!

whats your next device?

still loving my n5x but im already starting to think of my next phone. at this point heres my options as i have to buy my devices full price, im on at&t go.
htc 10 ..once aosp hits.
one+3 ...because of the rumored specs, looks and $300 price tag.
wait to see what the next nexus will be "rumored to be htc".
what about you guys?

It's too early to think about it.

My 5x is fairly new so i didn't think about it really. Right now this is the perfect one.. oneplus? No, all oneplusses seems to have calling issues echo's etc.. i had a oneplus one, i loved it though except low 4g compatibility and call quality. Besides that, the 5x is my second Nexus and i never want a non Nexus again.

Never too early to speak of a new device. in 2 weeks ill be getting the one plus 3. Loved my n5x but its time for a new toy.

Will you upgrade from Nexus 5X to Nexus Sailfish 2016?

The 2016 Nexus to come after the Nexus 5X is the Sailfish, it will be made by HTC, will have a 5 inch 1080p display, 4 GB of RAM, and possible the SnapDragon 820 or 821. The Nexus Sailfish is claimed to be coming with a 13-megapixel rear snapper and an 8-megapixel front camera.it sounds like there will only be a 32GB model for the Sailfish.
So will you upgrade or will you keep the 5X or will you go elsewhere for your 2016 phone?

First thing is price for me..next is battery

No, I don't have spare money to get new phone every year

I bought my N5X last week and i really enjoy it. And no, i will not upgrade it

I made an upgrade to the HTC 10

HTC Nexus 5X don't think it will be cheap...
depends on price compared to other OEM manufacturers.
if its same price as OnePlus 3 then theres no point getting HTC Nexus 5X.
oneplus 3 you get 64Gb internal storage (UFS2.0 storage) with flagship spec's
how much will HTC Nexus 5X 64Gb cost?

Maybe next year...

Got 5X few days ago so no.

Maybe if it has a compass that works all the time and not just sometimes I will!

I got the Nexus 5X at launch, and I plan to do the same with Sailfish. I really like the 5X, but I'm in the habit of upgrading every year.

No. The absence of front facing speakers kills it for me.

i got my 5x with the project fi enrollment deal making it 199. the price tag is the only reason i bought it, so probably not. i still catch myself wanting to repair the screen on my six and taking it out and about every once in a while.

Should've made this thread a poll.
I, for one, will be jumping ship as soon as the phones are released and there are some legit reviews that highlight their strengths and weaknesses. I still owe around $200 on my N5X but I'll pay that off and get either Marlin or Sailfish. Haven't decided which one, yet.

If the specs turn out to be true then yes. And I would like it to be called the Nexus 5P if it does as it would only be appropriate.

I'll get one of each (Marlin and sail), keep the one I like best, then offer the other to the wife. If she isn't interested then return it. I love this time of year every year!

Unlike last year, I won't jump on the preorder. I might if the phone is attractive and has good battery life.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Nope. I cant buy a new device every few months. And besides, IDGAF if it has triple better specs, the 5x is smooth and customizable and has a good battery life if tweaked correctly. Buying a new nexus just for a few miliseconds of speediness or an hour extra of battery life is a waste of money IMHO.

Depends on physical size of Sailfish. I'm still using original MotoX 1053 with KK. Easily fits in pocket. Battery starting to exhaust earlier and earlier, so about time for replacement. Would love to have same phone with wireless charging and upgraded chips and software.

What does this mean? I don't understand this article.
http://motoringcrunch.com/news/2016-google-nexus-sailfish-marlin-wont-get-rooters-support/32008994/
We know that Google will be releasing two Nexus smartphones this year and that both these models will be made by HTC. Based on the details we have now, the Nexus Sailfish and Marlin are turning out to be a really tough contender. However, no matter how amazing it is going to be, the rooters will still not support the new Nexus devices.
The Nexus devices have always been a rooters go-to smartphone mainly because it comes running on the stock android and it is usually the first to get all the software updates from Google.
However, with the new safety system in place, the new Nexus Sailfish and Marlin will be useless to the rooters. According to Google, their new Android 7.0 Nougat will come with a new safety feature that will stop the device from booting up if it detects that it is being corrupted.
They also added that the system will only be available if the device comes with a locked bootloader so it is still possible for rooters to root the new Nougat OS, they just can’t do it with the Nexus

depending on the price.........
4GB RAM is so tempting to pass

Nexus 5X user here, should I switch to Oneplus?

Hello!
I'm a Nexus 5X user and I was looking forward to the Pixel announcement as I'm sure most Nexus users were, and I almost had a heart attack seeing the price . I've grown tired of my plastic-y slab of lacklustre performance and want a change.
So I ask you (guessing theres probably a lot of ex-Nexus users here), is the Oneplus 3 worth switching? Or should I hang off and wait for what Oneplus has in-store for next year?
Thanks in advance!

i had a nexus 5 before. i switched to OP3 and this was the best decision ever

Camera (ISO levels and shutterspeed) and updates are better on the 5x.
All the rest the OP3 wins.

I'm coming from a nexus 6 was waiting for the launch of the new pixel phone, and I just new Google would balls this one up. So last week I ordered my opo3 and should be with me before the 10th of this month. Little sad to see the nexus go but I'll be moving on ?

I too am a 5x owner and was anxiously awaiting the Pixel phones. Was looking forward to a nicer design and features that should come with a higher price tag. Big disappointment! The Pixels offer nothing remotely close to making them worth the price asked. Ordered a OP3 yesterday and am looking forward to it arriving later this month.

I moved on from my Nexus 6 and couldn't be happier! This is one bad ass phone!

Made this same jump myself - the only thing you'll miss is the photo quality (more so in low light)
Performance is significantly better

Hey all, highjacking the thread a little...
I'm now using the N6P, which is great, but I like to change phones once a year, just for a change of scenery if you will.
Pixel phones are not attractive to me, so I'm thinking OPO3 (well, was thinking Note 7, but well....sounds like not the best option yet).
Anybody did this? I know it will be mostly a lateral "upgrade", both are possibly same same on many levels, but I also like the possibility of MIUI for a change from time to time.
oh, and really need to be able to have some XDA fun, so this is good too for that ^^

I'm thinking of coming from an iPhone 6s, as want to come back to android. My wife has a 5X and it's great, but I think the OnePlus 3 edges it with the performance. I think I'll miss the 6s's battery life and camera, but from the looks of it, there's not too much to worry about, right?

Definitely worth it going from an 810 to an 820 is way better and the performance is amazing and I also had a 6P as well.

really worth upgrade. used few weeks while my op3 was at rma, nexus 5x compared to op3 really laggy, worse screen, battery life is also worse on n5x. Only one advantage of 5x is pure stock android with blazing fast updates.

is the nexus5x still worth it ?

Hi guys !
I was plaining to buy a nexus5x in the last 4 mounths , but I hesitated a lot especially after the bootloop problem that a lot of people are claiming to have on their phones.
the reason that I wanted a nexus5x is basically the low price , besides the fact that it's a great phone with amazing specs + I already had a Smsung Tab A(6)(free) so I tought it would be wiser to keep it and buy a nexus 5x, instead of sealling it and spend all the money on a galaxy s7 or somthing like it.
So what do u think is the best choice :
to keep the Tab + buy nexus 5x(just a 16gb is available , with no warranty so if it brokes I'm done !!!)
or
to buy the s7
and thanks to all

The answer to the question whether Nexus 5X is still worth it depends on the price you pay for it. I got mine last summer for just 240USD and I still think it was worth it. It has a bright screen with objectively proven accurate colors. It has a very good photo camera and an extremely fast fingerprint reader. It has a very lean ROM, and very frequent monthly updates. The Nexus 5X was the first smartphone to receive the Nougat update (along with other Nexus devices). Even today, the only device that can challenge the Nexus 5X in the price-performance ratio (in USA at least) is the Huawei Honor 8.

Compare it to what else you can get for the same price. I'm still enjoying mine after over a year but there are different options to choose from at this point.

I just got my nexus 5x 2 weeks ago. and if you ask me i will say you that go for it man, its amazing device with less money. S7 is great too but you have to pay more for that, and what i love abt nexus 5x is its stock android and frequent updates if u are a stock android lover and want your phone to be updated than nexus 5x is for you.

Its not worth it. Trust me, the parts to fix it are expensive, it heata up during summer like crazy. The back is made of crap material and overall battery life while active is terrible. Get the OP3 or OP3T if you can. I should have bought that, but I was impatient so I opted for this crappy device

As others have said, it really depends on what you pay. I'm loving mine. I've had no problems so far, battery is acceptable, and running Nougat without problem. I couldn't ask for more from a device which I paid only $300 USD for.

16GB isn't worth it unless you're getting it for like $100.
