Which Phone?

[Deleted User]

I want to switch from iOS to Android just so I can experience the other side of the fence, but I don't know which phone to start with. I've been leaning toward HTC One, Nexus 5, LG G2, and Moto X, but I'm not sure. What would you say is a good Android phone for a person who has never used one before?

I'd say Moto X.

Why that phone specifically?

The Moto X is bent on consumer happiness and ease of access.

Going from the iPhone to Android can be a bit overwhelming, and the Moto X will probably give you the easiest transition into Android, because the phone was solely built to please the consumer, and give the consumer what they want, which is a phone that is really easy to get into.

It might not have the best specifications, but it has some really darn good features.

Imo I'd eliminate moto x from the list (just my personal opinion, not fond of the smaller devices)

These 3 devices, I actually had to choose between yesterday when I upgraded from my Galaxy S3. Eventually got the LG G2.

I can't really say much other than if you want the best, choose either the nexus 5 or the g2.

Either way, out of those 3 devices, you can't go wrong with any of them. All excellent devices.

To put my 2 cents in about the g2, I love it so far and no complaints with it

Good luck and let us know which one you go with.

Cheers

Thanks for the replies all! Another important thing for me is a case. From what I've seen and heard there isn't really a good case for the Nexus 5, while all these other phones do have good cases. Thoughts on that?

You can get cases on amazon but I have not heard anything about the cases for any of the devices that you have listed. Me personally on the devices I would go with the nexus 5 I have a galaxy nexus and absolutely love the pure Google experience. My best suggestion is go to your carriers store and play with all of them get a feel for the device and see which one better suits your needs

^this. Whatever the specs, whatever the advice, go and handle the actual device before buying it. What suits you is the most important thing.
