My wife just replaced her Samsung Galaxy with a google Nexus. Worlds of difference between her old galaxy S3 and the Nexus 5 in terms of performance. Plus there is a lack of "little" things that annoyed her on the Galaxy.
key word: old
of course if you compare a 3 year old phone with the latest money can buy, you are going to be impressed. compare the nexus 5 with the galaxy s5 and you will see:
- samsung has vastly better battery
- much faster
- better screen
- real buttons that dont eat up your pixels to display black
- much better camera/video
- much more storage
- small but useful features like ir blaster, heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, barometer, hygrometer, etc
- many useful software features (face tracking, gestures, multi window, file transfer using nfc+wifi etc)
- much better support (lg sux)
- need i go on?
please people, stop being stupid.
