These are the phones I'm considering in the next few months. I currently have a totally sourcerixed Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S4g before that. I love a Nexus like it's my sister, but I also am a fan of a HUGE screen... I'd like to hear the thoughts and opinions of the forum to help me decide.
Nexus 5.
I'm looking at Googles new flagship for obvious reasons... PURE android experience, easy to work on and the supposed hardware specs look great.
Note3.
This phablet has my attention for certain other obvious reasons... Screen, screen, SCREEN! Bigger is better as far as I'm concerned and the processor and other specs look strong, too.
I know the Note3 will be harder to work get ROMs on, but I know the N2 has a huge following on XDA and is well supported, it's fair to assume the N3 will, also... so I'm not terribly concerned. The Nx5, on the other hand, just begs to have custom software loaded on... Points to Google.
I have loved a button-free experience (soft AND hard) on the Nexus phones for a couple generations. I hate wasted screen (I use Pie and hide the nav bar). The Note, like all recent Sammy devices, has a big, ugly (imo) hardware button at the bottom, but it's sporting a WAY bigger screen... will that compensate? Points to Google?
The software on N3 utilizes that S-Pen, and reviews say it's more than a gimmick. Custom ROMs, however, will likely render it useless as anything beyond a mere stylus.
My statements above seems to steer me toward the Nexus, but I'm still swayed by pure acreage!. The size of the N3 is a big (pardon) factor for me...
Sound off! Let me know what you think. Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks!
