dont_do_it_doug. Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I want the G2 as a work phone for battery life reasons, it's just that stupid bloody button on the back putting me off. I can see it being incredibly frustrating. Experience? My other option is the Note 3, but I hear the battery isn't so hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Play music looks great on the n5 with the album artwork and the ability to skip track etc without actually unlocking the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I've the note 3 and battery us excellent. Vastly superior to any previous phone I've owned. It's just a matter of turning things you don't use in settings and battery life goes up into never possible to run outta juice in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well the nexus 5 battery has lasted a day, I've got 32% left still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not sure about the colour....... Eh? Is that a case? If not then what's happened there? Its a vinyl skin, on XDA they have an excellent reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Went to the Three store last night to get a microsim for the N5 and the lady in the shop cut my standard sized sim card down while I waited...........not heard of them doing that before.

The_Lions_Roar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Its quicker for you, they are supposed to order one for you but you can buy cutters and do it yourself so doesn't make a difference really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get used to the g2 button placement, missus has had hers for a week now and she is used to it already. You can't go wrong with the note 3 either. Both superb phones with superb battery's. Go and have a play with both in a store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2013 My contract is up in July next year, hopefully 4G contracts will be a lot cheaper then. Why would you get a 4G tariff with only 500mb data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Look at three, they don't charge any extra for 4g. I pay £9.90 a month with 1gb data, you can get one with unlimited for £12.90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the competition (here's looking at you Apple) will follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Soooo, anybody with a Nexus 5 want to post some photos they have taken with it? I'd like to see the dodgy camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yep, photos please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Taken in not great indoor light with HDR+ turned on. The same photo but snapseeded So far it seems excellent and I haven't had any long focus times or other complained about issues other than that you need to remember to hold it still for a second when taking an HDR+ photo. You can easily forget and just snap then pull the phone away before it's finished. I expect some outdoor photos with HDR+ in good light will look spectacular. Some poorly lit photos of something moving fast won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Nexus 5 arrived this morning! I make that just over 36 hours from order until delivery. Much better than last year's farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
