Ok So now that both phones are essentially out. Granted the US version of the nexus isn't but close enough. I am kind of torn one what phone to buy. The biggest thing to me was ICS and since the Razr will be getting it at some point that is a lot less of a factor.
What other Reasons would you guys have for getting one or the other? Yes i have read all the reviews on both and understand the differences between the two. Anything game changing for you guys?
Nexus, the Razr doesn't seem to be all that good and Motorola aren't exactly reliable when it comes to updates.
Keep in mind that even if Razr will get ICS eventually, you'll still have to wait for future increment updates, and then there's jellybean.
I am eagerly waiting for the Nexus for several reasons in addition to being pure Android, better developer support, and future updates. The Nexus, IMO, looks better. The Razr is quite large even though it has a smaller screen. I heard that Razr has better call quality but that's not the most important thing to me because I only use maybe 20% of my phone to make calls. GN has a slightly newer and better SoC. The screen of the Nexus clearly wins hands down. Oh and no locked bootloader.
Having had both a motorola and a samsung previously (Milestone with motorola - non US version of the original Droid and the Galaxy S with samsung) I too faced the same question.
I went with the Nexus in the end as although the milestone was nice hard-ware wise, motoblur let it down and shackled it, motorola blatantly lied about updates and then failed to deliver them, and the updates that did come came with even more bugs than they were supposed to fix. Motorola are only interested in your $$$ their after sales customer service is appaling!
Having had the nexus for a week now I've not regretted the upgrade and would thoroughly recommend. I think as well being a nexus you're pretty much guranteed speedy updates over the razr and I think it looks better too.
I had both on my hand. And definitely goes for Galaxy Nexus, the galaxy nexus screen advantage almost override all other advantages from razr~!
The RAZR will always be crushed by motorola's updates and skins. And comparing the screens, the RAZR isn't even close to the GN.
You came to the Galaxy Nexus forum,which do you expect people to pick? The Razr?

I will be honest, i came here because this is what phone i had decided to wait for. But it seems that its not getting the greatest reviews, and the single biggest reason i picked it (ICS) i am a little nervous about. I mean lets be honest its never great to be the 1 to test something out.(New fighter plane or fire retardant suit comes to mind) I actually have a Razr, bought it for my wife and i like it a lot. I guess i am losing steam for holding out for the GN. And i thought this would be a great place for a discussion on what i should do.
Get the int'l razor. Supposedly bootloader can be unlocked but i havent followed up on that to see if its true. Reviews have been kind of meh to me.

Well if there was a GSM variant of the RAZR, I would actually have to think about my choice.
The RAZR's hardware is incredible, but in the end the non-bloatware Nexus and ridiculous screen quality would trump even the water-resistant and Gorilla Glass 2 feature of the RAZR.
Edit: Ack, there is a GSM RAZR. Good thing I already own the GNEX...

I'd go with the N but not because you can sit back and let Google give you timely updates and fix bugs. My Nexus S shipped with the search bug making it unusable. Best and only response from G was "first we heard about that problem". The hundreds of other users got the same. No update in sight and I never saw one. I lasted a week before rooting and flashing like we always do. Now it is a great device but no thanks to google. Moto would be a lot worse. I assume that I'll treat any phone no matter how it's sold as a dev device that I'll have to flash myself. I have full confidence in my lack of confidence with the new Nexus.
Get the GN,
I just came from a Motorola Atrix! Motorola suck at software updates & love locking bootloaders (although they are slowly changing)
GN FTW!
GN.
10char
Am about to buy the monster here in Germany, will wait for the first batch to be washed out into the market to avoid the baby teething issues (volume, search, whatever else).
Atrix has been good though, once the bootloader got unlocked & the roms started pouring in it became a beauty of a phone!
+1 on the wait and see attitude. let the first batch fly out and the next (fixed) batch to arrive. Whether the inevitable issues are google or samsung isn't important, there is a history of problems with each one so far and the new one is already showing problems. Hearing that the core issue (volume) is hardware related that will be "fixed" in software makes me think I'll not buy one at all now. I'll not go with the Moto for other reasons. The Galaxy S had hardware shortcomings also semi fixed in software and that wasn't good enough. After my third warranty repair I demanded a proper pb which they did and the problem went away. The Nexus S had OS issues that took much too long to fix. The new one no doubt will have issues. I'm not excited to be the fist on the block with another turkey.

Official reviews looked pretty good to me, maybe I read them wrong.
Btw...I thanked you on accident, consider it an early xmas gift.
I am fond of Motorola devices, they have good voice quality, good durability, good grip (despite being squarish). But none of their devices seem to support TMobile 3G band, so I can't get it. (As for firmware updates, what updates?)
I'd go with the GN. Bug fixes pretty quick and easy bootloader unlocking make an excellent combination.
However, with Google's acquisition of Moto, maybe they will be the way forward next year?
Thought about the same choice of phones and I think I'll be going with the GN mainly because of removeable battery.
The good thing about thin phones is that you can add to them bigger capacity batteries while still keeping a normal width. I currently have a 2700 Mah battery on my Samsung Galaxy S with the corresponding width (but not weight!) of my ex-Iphone 3GS.
Just yesterday, while abroad on work, I didn't use my phone at all (ok, probably not a very valid test) with wifi, 3G on and this morning, after 1d battery usage was down 12%.
I know that the important thing is lasting a 8h day but I'm the kind of guy that hates thinking about recharging my devices (Ipad 2 is perfect in this aspect) than actually doing it.
So I'm keeping my eye on GN extended batteries, specially from Momax....
Guys, Do you agree that Google shouldn't let Samsung to be maker of the next nexus?
I just think Samsung ****e...Especially it's marketing in Hong Kong. (It may differ in other parts of this planet)
If Samsung would get the radios straightened out the phone would be almost perfect IMO.
I'm happy with their build quality (overall), but I do wish they would use a better GPS chip (my GPS is fine, but not to the level of accuracy/polling frequency that my HTC and Motorola phones have had) and tougher glass on the screen. Those are really my only two complaints...
Most of my phones have been GG. They have almost all scratched, despite me being careful.
As for GPS, folks are quick to forget problems HTC has had in the past with GPS. The Thunderbolt had garbage GPS for a long time.
Give it a battery like the Razr MAXX and I'd be a very happy camper. That and make it better to hold...

No I do not agree. That said, I'm still going to buy it without regard to builder.
Samsung has proven that it can build phones with amazing hardware, take the SGS2 for example (top notch camera, GPU, screen), they only dumbed down the Nexus because they were following Google's specs. On my SGN radios work perfectly and battery life is amazing, build quality and design are great.. GPS locks almost instantly.
Samsung all the way for the next Nexus!
No, I don't agree. Samsung makes the best hardware in terms of specification and power. They even have better design than HTC, whose phones are all genuinely identical. Motorola makes very good hardware too, but their designs are hit and miss. The GPS on my Nexus has been fantastic, getting locks within literally five seconds.
When I had my Omnia HD, I always lamented the fact that I had the best piece of hardware on the market but with Samsung crippling the software support. The Samsung Nexus devices have fixed this.
Make the next Nexus a slab of 100% display with less than 0.5mm bezel (using that new earpiece technology so that there's no need for an earpiece speaker at the top) and I'll certainly be in line to buy the Nexus once again at the end of this year. Oh, and design the back of the device so it looks a bit more... premium. The Galaxy Nexus' back looks too cheap for my liking.
Of all the devices I've had lately this has been the best one so far defect wise....knocking on wood. The latest HTC devices all had major issues, as did my first razr. I'm quite happy so far.

I'd like to see Google switch out manufacturers every year(I thought that was the original plan).. But in all honesty Samsung is a great company and if the next Nexus is manufactured by them then I will still be happy. Hell, I don't even have a Galaxy Nexus (stupid AT&T) I'd kill to get one.

it doesn't work like you think
Each manufacturer have to submit a Bit (model design + cost & price to produce)
then Google chooses the one the like the most
whom ever wins the bit, gets to make the next Nexus phone
that means both Motorola and HTC lost the challenge of the last 2 incarnations of Nexus phones
it'll be interesting to see SonyEricsson, Acer, Asus, LG & Huawei run into the competition as well
Google is buying Motorola, so who knows maybe Motorola will make the next Gnex

The *only* reason I'd say I wish Motorola designed it is the Radios. The CDMA version gets pretty lackluster radio performance. Standing right next to a RAZR and Rezound the other night I was fluctuating between 1 bar and no service and they both had 4 bars (all 3 on CDMA-only). Bars might not mean anything, but my signal strength, at least half the time, was completely dry. I had no data connection at all, while they both had fantastic connections.
That kind of crap is purely unacceptable for the "Flagship" phone from Google. How did this kind of thing ever make it past pre-production without someone noticing the problem and correcting it? Use a higher-quality radio.
i dont agree at all. seems like the majority of posters on here just like to complain. my nexus has been great. i am on my original one. my radios dont drop, my screen is great, happy with the battery life and my gps is the fastest i have ever seen on a phone.
My galaxy nexus is getting noticeably slow. What are your guys thoughts of purchasing a Moto X as Gnex replacement?
I think it's a good change. Moto X has some nice features and the updates to the latest android versiones are coming
If you don't mind minimal development since it's locked down, everything else i've heard about the Moto X has been pretty good. Supposedly blows our Gnex out of the water in terms of speed and features. If you're on anything but Verizon, I just looked and you can unlock the bootloader through Moto, but I think only the Dev Edition doesn't get it's warranty voided if you unlock it.
both are great phones. i'd go to the store and see which one feels better in my hand.
Moto X is nice but way too pricey
I'm a current Galaxy Nexus user, but in the past month, my parents and 6 friends have all gotten Moto Xs and they love them. I've had the chance to play around with them myself, and the performance, feel, and features are really top notch. It feels like a very natural evolution of my Nexus, except with far better reception and battery life. Also, while AMOLED, the screen is brigher and clearer.
The regular black and white versions are very cheap on Amazon Wireless. The Moto Maker ones are more expensive, but there are a lot of sales, and honestly, the customized ones look amazing in person.
If you still want an unlocked bootloader, you can get a developer version. Motorola put warranties back on the unlockable versions of their phones this past week, so you won't be out in the cold if you bust your phone.
The Galaxy Nexus has been a great device, and will continue to be mine for a few more months. That being said, if you're ready to get something new, I think the Moto X is a really excellent choice.

some great thoughts here ^^^
So through work, I have acquired the moto x dev edition for verizon. My gnex is going to a good home (my father). So here are my thoughts which I am going to post on my blog. The main question, is it worth upgrading the gnex? Honestly, if you are buying a phone outright I do NOT think its worth it unless you care about a few new things. The gnex actually performs nearly as good as my new moto x (assuming you have rooted and customized it to). Here is my review:
I currently have 2 verizon phones - the galaxy nexus and the moto x from verizon. Here is what I have done to both phones before I give my review:
Gnex - I have rooted it and installed the latest 4.4 nightly from cyanogenmod. I have installed pacrom, aokp, etc as well and AOKP is definitely my favorite ROM but I am giving this phone to my father and think CM will be easiest for him as it updates itself through an OTA update.
Moto x - I have rooted it, installed Xposed (for gravitybox), deleted bloatware, and got it tether ready.
Reviews:
Speed/lag - I never noticed lag with my motox. Now that I have the moto x I am noticing where there was lag on my gnex. However, I dont think most people would notice it. It is not significant and doesnt make the phone perform any better/worse.
size - both are around the same size. the moto x is a bit smaller and screen appears to be the same size.
camera - i didnt notice a difference here and i dont really use the cams much either.
battery - much better on my motox. I get about 24hrs more. I think i got around 12-15 hours on average on my gnex and am getting 36+ on my moto x. i did have the 2200 size on my gnex too. this could be a breaking point for many people but i was able to go through the day and just charge each night with my gnex.
tethering - tethering was simple on my gnex. i just pushed the button and it works. it worked with a million tethering apps too. the moto x was not easy. it does not work with any of those apps. i had to go in and work in terminal to get tethering to work. i have a feeling i will need to do this with each OS upgrade too. I am not looking forward to it. It was not something a beginner will be able to easily do.
bloatware - none on the gnex. tons on my moto x. i had to delete it all but again this was easy once rooted.
active display - this is awesome. it is on both phones though. on the moto x its just automatically there. on my gnex i need to download dynamicnotifications app. i think each version (the app vs the native moto x app) each have some advantages over one another. this will be a preference thing but both basically function in the exact same way.
moto connect - Now this is new to me and I am really loving it. I can text - send and receive texts from my browser. This is really awesome as I work from home and dont alway have my phone on me. I can also take calls this way too. Very awesome. It could be worth upgrading for just this feature alone.
Dev support - tons of dev support for the gnex. it cant really be beat except for N5. Moto x seems good too just dont think it will ever be as good as a nexus device.
Company support - none for the gnex. phone is past its 18 months. seems like motorola is doing a great job with the moto x and I have a feeling that they will support longer than the standard 18 months given how they are still pushing this phone.
Overall that is my review. I dont think I really needed to upgrade my gnex. It was performing nearly as well as this new phone. I think it has another 1-2 years of life easily. If you do have the money though, it is worth the upgrade but its definitely not necessary.
Here is my blog post: http://raypastore.com/wordpress/2013/12/galaxy-nexus-vs-moto-x/
I'm with you, I love my Galaxy Nexus. My brother has a Droid Ultra he picked up after destroying his phone, and I gotta say my Nexus is better. People on this forum complain about being stuck with a Galaxy Nexus, I don't get it, this is the best phone I've ever played with.

yea i think overall that if you are on verizon and do not want to lose unlimited that its just not worth upgrading. the gnex is such a good phone. i am moving on to my moto x but it definitely is not a significant upgrade thats for sure.

I think Moto G isn't any better in performance. Plus, it doesn't have much development as of now (not even a CM build). But to be honest I'm also tempted... though I have something else on my mind.

It might not have any Dev support but its already getting 4.4.2 kitkat from Motorola and runs pretty much stock Android ..far as performance I've yet to see a VS video but I'm sure the Moto is faster.

I had the S3 and I had a worse experience on it than I currently do on my recently acquired VZW Nexus. There is no lag or bloatware. The only down side is battery life. I will be buying another battery. Either stock or extended. I am near a charger all day so it's not a big deal for me. I'm not tempted to flash a different ROM either because it is already an aosp phone.

I seriously thought about it. I still am. I'm so used to the 4.7" display such that I fear going back to 4.5" would be too much.
Galaxy nexus was my first smartphone and it made these almost 2 years since I own it very special. A real adventure. Have bricked it, have drppoed it but it never let me down in the end.
Had a great experience with my GNex but the battery life was a real deal breaker for me. Went with the G2 and am loving the larger screen not to mention outstanding battery. Thought I would hate the UI but so far I'm ok with it and I know I can ROM it when I get bored with it. Haven't parted with the GNex yet but I'm not really seeing a need to keep it now.

Yup I feel the same way. I've been on cm 10.1.3 since september and I've experienced very minimal lag. All the 4.3/4.4 roms are just too unstable. Just the battery life sucks. Even on the 2100maH battery, the best screen on time I could get is 3 hours.I just keep the stock battery in handy for when I run out of battery.

Getting a moto g would be like buying a phone with 3 year old specs with no development, complete waste of time.At least the gnex has plenty of development but is still obsolete an crappy in the current smartphone world.Even the iPhone 4s which is 2 an a half years old beats the gnex hands down.

Hmm. If you could lag a CM11-wielding GNex, then a MotoG wouldn't surprise you either. It's a Snapdragon 400 after all. Me, I feel my GNex is always as smooth even when compared to my 2 more powerful devices.

So as the Nexus 5 successor, I'm curious to see how many people are actually moving from the 2013 version to the 5x. And just for kicks, sound off what you're upgrading from and why.
I've held out with my LG Optimus G circa 2012 (stuck on Jelly Bean still, thanks Sprint!) so honestly I'm looking forward to
- timely and first-run updates
- Android Pay
- fingerprint security (no more lock screen)
- improved camera
- fast charging
- carrier freedom / project fi
I sold my N5 for the N5X. I also own a S6E and a Note 4.

I'm going to be upgrading from a Galaxy S3 that I got in July 2012. I'm still on jelly bean as well and really cannot wait for my 5X to get here.
From Moto X 2014 here. I intended to stay with N5 until another 5 inch nexus was released, but shattered the screen in March. Moto X 2014 pure edition ended up being the temporary replacement due to size of N6. I've actually really grown to like the Moto, but I miss being first in line for updates. If not for delayed updates I'd just stick with the X for another year, which is still a possibility if the N5X fails to impress me.
I'm coming from the N6. My wife's GS4 kept losing wifi signal, couldn't cast anything, and just was a pain in the @$$. So, she's getting the N6 and I'm getting the N5x.
T-Mobile Band 12 support/VoLTE/WiFi Calling (though two of those are still slightly up in the air), and I'm curious about how good the camera will be even though I'm not a huge photographer. Other than that, I guess just bored with my Nexus 5. I'm firmly in the "N5X isn't much of an upgrade" camp.
Although most wouldn't consider it an upgrade, I am pretty sure I am getting rid of the Droid Turbo for the Nexus 5x. My biggest reasoning behind it is that I am on Verizon and I loved my old galaxy Nexus back in the day. I know the phone specs itself is probably a downgrade, but I love the freedom of Nexus devices the most. Being able to rom if I want, getting official updates quicker if wanted (or switching between the two), slightly thinner/lighter phone, support, not bound by verizon...overall, I just love the Nexus line and I can't do a 6" phone (including framework).

I'm upgrading from my broken Galaxy Nexus running stock rooted 4.3. I had hopped on the Kit Kat bandwagon when it was first released, installing some roms, but I found it too buggy for my tastes, and went back to stock 4.3. I'm very excited to skip Lollipop and upgrade directly to Marshmallow and get ride of my lagging mess of a phone!
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and looking forward to not having a cracked screen
Coming from 2013 Moto X DE. Been a great phone but the battery is about shot, and its pretty much done getting updates. I'm on Verizon (really the only carrier in my area) and I will only buy phones that I can unlock the bootloader, which unfortunately means I'm pretty limited in my selection lol.
Nexus 6 and 6p seem way to big for me, so I think the 5x will fit the bill nicely.

Coming from G4 presently. This year I've been using N5, N6 (sold), GS6 (sold). I'm really looking forward to the the 5X, it seems like the perfect phone in every way for me
Coming from the n6. Looking forward to having a phone that will fit in my pocket. Had the OG n5 and really liked the build. Fingerprint scanner and super duper fast charge (or whatever it's called) are big positives
Wife's HTC One M8 with a shaky (at best) usb port, and daughter's HTC One M7 with cracked screen....lucky them I guess.
Pre ordered 5x as soon as page went live. I'm coming from htc one m8 and m7 before that. Looking forward to quick updates
I had a Moto X 2014 Pure, but bought a n5 because Moto X is not that great. Motorola has been crappy as of late too. I gave the Moto X to my bro as he doesn't care as much about updates or phones in general like I do

I believed that before, but that's false. After 5.0, they disappeared. I got 5.1 awhile after 5.1.1 was on Nexus devices. The stagefright patch was after Samsung's one. That's saying something

I have an HTC One M8 right now, running DigitalHigh's GPE ROM. I had a GNex before that, and was waiting on the Nexus 6. When I saw it was gonna be expensive and huge I went HTC. I really hate Sense, so the GPE ROM was a necessity. Had some issues, but mostly it's been good. I'm excited to go back to pure Android without having to screw with it (even though I'll still screw with it).
