    Hi folks, I thinking of buying either the lg g2 or the nexus 5 and need some advise. I'm useless when it come to the hardware spec etc so just looking for some practical advise. I'm looking for something for everyday use with a good camera and battery (my current apple phone lasts half a day max). Also I see a lot of people hae bought from expansy, I assume they are reliable?? Thanks!!

    I bought mine from Amazon so can't help you with expansy. Got mine just the other day and love it so far. Overall the LG would have better spec, particularly with regard to the camera and the battery. I bought mine from Amazon.

    Little tip: I bought the Spizen cover for my phone and I love it. Really stylish and gives good protection too. Was pricey but I feel it was worth it.

    Yeah the LG has a much better camera and battery. Bought mine from Amazon aswell. Absolutely love the phone. You won't regret buying it.

    Thanks for the replies. Seems Lg is the way to go. Just out of curiosity though are there any aspects of the Nexus that beats the Lg??

    Is anyone using a screen protector? With a 20 month old it is going to be essential really :)

    Also interested in what cases others are using if any....as above a case will be essential protection!

    Hey guys,

    I'm bck again. I have just noticed that I have the Asian software on my phone. Does this make any difference to it? I know it doesn't at the moment but will it make a difference in the future if I want updates or anything like that?

    Thanks

    Ok so for those of you who chose to purchase from amazon directly (not a marketplace seller) whether the uk, France, Germany etc why did you choose to buy from amazon over the likes of e global central? Was it for warranty, trust in the company, wary of getting caught for customs/fakes or anything else?

    What benefits are there to having a European version versus an Asian version, if any?

    Well I got mine from the French Amazon. Wanted to buy from Amazon because I just didn't Trust those other websites enough. Got a good price for it as well and was 50 euro cheaper than the UK store. Didn't find any restrictions whatsoever, shipped free right to my door!

    Only downside is the European charger which seems to offer less power.

    Well I've gone and ordered a red one from e global central so cross your fingers it gets to me safely. I went with the free delivery too :eek:

    Has anyone been asked for the security questions & what do they involve?

    So did 4g functionality come with Kitkat or do we will still have to use that secret menu posted a few pages back?

    I think i will buy this phone if this is the case and sell my One X as the battery life is very bad on the HOX
