Nexus 5 hardware is good enough.
For instance, 2 years old Snapdragon S4 Pro powering Nexus 4 is still good. It handles all tasks with ease, plays all the games smoothly

I just hate my phone's battery life because after 1.5 years, it became even more worse. Plus can't change the battery. Storage is bothering me a bit, since I have my laptop with me every time, so it isn't a problem. Those demerits aside no other problem. Satisfied with camera.

For a futureproof phone, I guess N5 won't be good choice as its battery life isn't good either, better get LG G2

LG G2 or Nexus 5
both have kinda similiar hardware(G2 has better camera,sd card slot ,screen etc) but depending on preference both are very safe buys
Nexus 5 gets extra points for sleek design,update system etc

He wants stock anroid only. He has used my Nexus 5 for a week and was looking forward to buy it but ended buying s4 since it has octa core processor:-D and now he has given up on the phone. Lags terribly though I flashed a custom rom on it but he is not satisfied. So I am seeking you guys advice and along that no G2 please.

Moto X 2014 is worth checking out
overall I love the Nexus 5 in this range out of all the phones though

Nexus 5 or S5. S5 is available on eBay for around 30k I think, without manufacturer warranty though. The latter is a far better phone in every aspect than Nexus 5 except the software part. LG can't be compared with Samsung anyway.

If stock android is what he wants then no competition to N5, but S4 with AOSP/CM ROMs should be a better phone than N5

+100000 to this
samesung phones arent worth it
their service centres are a mess and their staff is arrogant and rude
touchwiz is filled with bloat
custom roms always have a catch because most samsungs use closed source exynos cpus
repairing a samsung is easy but the plastic quality and bezels are easy to break and often a repair comes with more costs because parts break easily when opening the phone etc unless you want a repaired phone with a broken bezel or body
my last samsung device(in my household) was the S4 and my own last samsung was an S3 and i feel samsung quality has gone down in quality since the GS2(a legendary phone imho)
rather get an LG or a Moto over Samesung

That's your opinion, not a fact. LG is still a new kid in smartphone race. Be practical, no one wants to know what phone you prefer, OP asked for what phone might suit him best, not you.

Utterly stupid and blatant comment filled with nonsense top to bottom.

Samsung service centres are one of the best out here in India. People who complain about their SC have zero idea about Sony's, HTC's service then.

The only thing Samsung has bad is their software, that's all. The completeness of package of a high end Samsung smartphone can't be compared with a LG or Motorola, they are not even in the same league, hardware wise especially. HTC might give them some fight, but they are the only one out there. Sony is okay.

[MENTION=129348]shadow[/MENTION]..don't mind, just kidding. It's his own money and he has every right to spend it on whatever/whichever he wishes.

P.s.I think Lumia 1020 is the best option at this price range. No android phone at this price range offers great vfm. Moto X, Sony Xperia Z, Z1, Z2 have screen cracking issues (read from reviews) so not a good option i think.

I'm not pointing towards buying S4 GPE, but the person who is gonna buy already has an S4, which according to me is better than N5, hardware-wise(better cam, screen, battery life, compact 5" device etc...). I would anyday day get an S4 over N5, if given a choice....

new kid in smartphone race? :rofl:
Nexus 4, 5, Optimus G, G Pro, G2, G Pro 2, G3. Each and every phone is somewhat different in design and hardware wise and way better than any samdung phone launched in that same price bracket.

Samdung launched 52 android phones and 27 tablets in 2014 and its still November. Guess how many of those will get anything beyond kitkat (10 phones and 2 tablets of those are stuck with JB :rofl: ). (Source: GSMArena custom search)

A 2 year old N4 gets Lollipop officially while the S3 was denied Kitkat from Samdung :lol:

Hardware is the thing samdung lacks, they've used Sd400 on a 25k S5 mini coupled with crapwiz on kitkat when a phone half that rate has got Lollipop (Moto G) . :facepalm:

Moto E, Moto G (2013), Moto G (2014), Moto X (2013) and Moto X (2014), all five in a different league of their own in terms of overall VFM package and better than any samdung phone priced 2 times higher than them.

And crapwiz, oh don't even mention it. $hittiest and most lagging smartphone UI ever.

You must be below 18, well I don't care much. Yes, one should go for Motorola, if someone wants a VFM product. LG falls nowhere, not VFM nor premium, I mean far from it. LG phones can't even have a strong network, including Nexus 5 and their latest flagship called G3 or whatever. Below average display, case cracking issues, weak signal issue and what not. But still it's not that awful :D

I am a developer by the way, and I own a Hammerhead, so it's becoming even more laughable to me, cause I know how LG phones' internals are. I just don't have the money, that's why I could not afford an S4 GPE or an M8 GPE. As soon as I have the chance I will move without even thinking for a second.

wow Im a disgrunted consumer who has had multiple bad experiences with the same company over a whole range of products and suddenly my opinion is nonense
i guess its people like you who keep such overrated brands such as samsung alive
samsungs attitude is very arrogant and they constantly copy and cant make a proper product
want an example- they copied iphone 5S's fingerprint unlock and guess who did a shoddy job-samsung
samsung has the worst service centres ive ever seen,the staff is rude and arrogant in each service centre which ive visited and the people who come there are regulars apparently
Sony has wayyy better quality than samsung,ive yet to even take any of my sony products for service ,the products last very long(dunno about tablets and phones)
LGs phone division and Moto kill samsung in every way imho
also since when is samsung high quality?? samsungs plastic<<<<<<metal and proper polycarbonate
same goes for hardware,exynos is closed source and often has compatiblity issues with apps

As I said, Samsung and their after sales service is more than good here in India. All my family members, relatives, friends use Samsung, all of them, yes some of them had to visit SC (even for nonsense cause), and no one has ever complained about them. Yes, they are not very educated (personal experience, but that's applicable for ALL service centres) but they get the job done, and that's what matters. While my personal experience with Sony has been awful, the mobile store next to my home doesn't stock HTCs any more because of service issues, Motorola? That's a LOL. What's left? LG. Never had to visit SC, so can't say.

Way better quality? Must be so. Unlocking a bootloader craps out the image sensor data flows, ROFL. There were some glass cracking issues too if I have noticed XDA's Sony section properly (DoomLord is a friend of mine anyway). Their displays are below average for current market.
No comments about the part I bold. Yours is enough :lol:

Another part where I shouldn't comment. What did Nokia use anyway? Or Motorola? Or LG? Samsung phones are very much durable, durability was never an issue in to any significant extent with Samsung phones. Note 3 is one of the toughest phone out there. But Motorola has pretty decent build quality too, while LG is a farce, as well as Sony.
same goes for hardware,exynos is closed source and often has compatiblity issues with apps
Closed source? LOL. You sure don't posses the minimum idea about coding. We use to avoid Exynos chipset, because it's more time consuming and tough to code for Exynos. That's the only reason we opt for Snapdragons, period. Technically Exynos is a better chip than SD.

Why would I not really be a dev? I mean why would I say otherwise? Do people do that on this forum? Don't know!!!

There are no shortcomings of Exynos as I said, it's a great chip, and Samsung is the best chip maker out there too. Just because we prefer something else doesn't make it a bad/inferior product, it's our problem to be quite honest, we are being lazy that's all.

Of course all devices have their flaws, that's what I was trying to say! Samsung's only real flaw is their software, TouchWiz i.e. (LG's software isn't any great at all, there are a lot of problems with G3's stock ROM, compilation of some part was simply horrendous, so much so that I gave up on it!). Then again there are a lot of people who prefer that, features. I personally obviously don't like that, but that's my preference, again. That's how people should decide about a product, I mean the product which has less flaws should be the one to aim for, and that's where Samsung falls, along with HTC (but they have QC issues, along with their awful after sales service ), and that's why people buy them, and that's why they are leading in smartphone sales race, and that's why one could/should recommend them over something else quite easily.

My last phone was the Nexus 4, before that the Xperia Z, and before that the Galaxy Nexus. So I have had one Samsung phone in past four years! Commenting the above won't credit zero rupee in my bank account either. You don't need to own a BMW/Jag to know they make quality cars, it's common and simple knowledge. The problem is with peoples snobbish mind to get a rather simple point.

I don't understand why ppl here are hijacking OP's thread.

If you guys wanna debate Samsung vs Any Brand please feel free to open a thread.

He need advice and all you guys are doing is confusing him.

..........Update:OP-

For 10-15k you can opt for Moto G2
For 15-20k go with Moto X or Lenovo Vibe X2
For 20-25k OnePlus One.(Yep you can get it comming week through amazon)
For 25-30k -
6"-Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro(Monster in its class)
5"-Moto X 2nd gen
5",5 1/2"May be G2 Pro.

I would myself recommend OnePlus One (If you believe in the brand)-top notch specs 64 gigs of storage and most current specs.

+10000 to this!
Im not gonna argue with you , the op has already decided upon a one plus one and this thread is gonna get locked
dissing other peoples opinions with bad logic and acting all superior isnt polite in a thread

I wasn't arguing with you. No one was. Yes, I quoted you, because your opinion was idiotic.

I am not the one who quotes another kid by saying the same message like +10000 ten thousand times, and the other kid who only posts G Pro 2/G2. Bloody nonsense.

Congrats to OP, for getting the One Plus One, it's not a bad phone by any means, considering the price especially, but it is what it is.

And [MENTION=299980]black_mamba[/MENTION] better watch what you speak next time. This is something which will not be tolerated. You got a problem move on I am not begging you for your response. I have always helped everyone politely and calmly and this type of post should better not be repeated as far as I am concerned. My brother works a lot and he has all the right to do with whatever he is willing to do with his money.

And thanks all for your responses.
Jeez! Calm down. That post wasn't even meaning you! I will remember your username and never come to your topic ever again, that's a promise. But next time try to get the point.

And if you have a problem with that post of mine, then report it, I don't need your childish threats. I will post whatever I like, well I can, as long as I am obeying the rules of this community. You better check your facts.

Seriously care to clarify what facts are you talking about ? I haven't posted much in this thread that I can find which says I have said anything wrong. And I haven't threaten you at all. If you read carefully you will find out that I have said I will not tolerate this type of statement.

which is why you probably shouldn't visit forums if you hate other peoples opinions so much
everyone was fine discussing until you come along and disrupt the entire thread and derail it
as for my opinion,everyone is entitled to one,if you cant agree with 3-4 other people here its not out fault
your free to keep your stupid attacks on others for o reason to yourself,attacking me [MENTION=129348]shadow[/MENTION] and [MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION] wasnt at all polite and necessary
once or twice me and saiyangoku havent agreed with each other,that doesnt justify stupid personal attacks
you are in a public forum,keep it polite and to the point instead of dissing others like this
enough of derailing this thread,i dont want to discuss anything to someone who doesnt value the opinions of others

also im entitled to my own freedom of typing and so is saiyangoku,if you dont like it,you may keep that lame opinion regarding it to yourself
also my opinions arent nonsense or idiotic,you dont like it,you keep shut
also you arent obeying rules of the forum

I will keep shut when I want to be. I am well under forum rules. And your comment was/is idiotic.

I am not a liar by the way, who claims that he used every phone from S2 to even Note 4 or 3 and didn't like a single one of them.

So this is my kind suggestion to you, for your own good, go get a life. Don't expect everyone to be a kid here.

I don't understand! Who has the slightest interest to to contact you?
And as I said, report my post, do whatever you want, I believe in actions, not threats.

And write in proper format, I think that's a rule, cause it's a public forum you say?
