I understand the differences in the OS and all of that. I'm just wondering if someone was going to be choosing between these now would there be anything that makes one standout over the other aside from the OS and SDcard slot. I don't use more than 6GB on my GS3 so I don't think the expandable storage will be a concern.
I guess I just need to know that if I get a Nexus 5 to get faster OS updates and/or root is it outclassed in any significant way by the S5? I've kind of settled on these two devices for myself and just need help making a decision. I don't expect that someone has significant time with both but maybe someone has enough to give an honest assessment? I've read the comparison reviews etc but there was not really a clear cut winner.
Note: So you have a little background on the situation. For those who remember from me mentioning in other threads I am on verizon unlimited with my S3 but I will be losing my unlimited if I upgrade the phone and I have called and argued and talked to people at the store etc. They basically don't care about me losing unlimited or that I told them I could get cheaper plans from AT&T with basically the same coverage in my area. They made it clear that they want people off the grandfathered unlimited. So I am just going to go to AT&T which means I need a new device anyway. Actually two devices, but we haven't yet decided whether my mom(who I also have on my plan) will be going with an iPhone or what. That's going to be left up to her.
