Lg g2 32gb international version...it will cost u 40.5k for brand new nd its an awesome phone...but if u want new model then galaxy s5 is a reasonable choice...g3 is also perfect but reselling will be an issue due to heavy loss

g3 ki screen is too big for me
pocket mein phone rakhna hota hai purse mein nahi
jokes apart. Yes G2 and Nexus 5 are options in the lower tier

Note 3 eyes closed , xperia displays and camera quality is not good and nexus 5 battery is weak.

Note 3 ki screen is again too big for me. Want a phone which I can easily use with one hand too
Nexus has battery issues but that can be countered with powerbank. Since it will cost less and has good features, there is a compromise I can make. Camera is not that great too
On the other hand Xperia camera's have always been great. Used Xperia S and loved it. Why do you say they are not good?

I had an Xperia Z before my Nexus 5 and I must say, the camera on the Nexus 5 is a lot better.

Anyway, what you said about the Nexus 5 is right. I have one, and I bought a 5000mAh powerbank. It's great! Loving the stock android experience.

Phir M8 agr camera per compromise kr skty ho thora sa...warna g2 is the best option, pocket friendly bhi hai aur Android L ki update bhi pakki hai. U can get one for 40k. Plus its better than nexus 5 unless u are into developing

Not into developing. I like the software simplicity of Nexus5 better than G2 with its LG UI etc. I don't have much knowledge into the software aspects. Else both G2 and N5 are kickaass. I agree. Will look into these 2 more...

Any member who has used both these and can tell significant differences...?

The G2 will take some time getting used to. Especially because of the stupid UI and the volume button on the back. Plus, there have been a lot of reported cases of the screen of G2 which just stops working.

Yaar i have used both and have selected LG G2 for me. LG Optimus UI 3.0 is very pretty which currently comes with LG G3 but LG has promised to bring it to the LG G2 along with Android L via software updates in the future. Besides LG G2 has the following benefits
-IR Blaster(phone turns into a universal remote)
- 13 Megapixel camera with OIS. Result is also much better than Nexus 5
-Battery life is also way better. My G2 gives me 7 hours screen on time with wifi and background sync running all the time. With gaming and high brightness it drops to six.
-More compact and better designed than the nexus 5. The rear keys after a couple of days dont feel awkward at all.
-Optimus UI has a lot of added features. Knock-On, Knock-Code, QuickMemo and the level of customization is great. It has a built in theme changer similar to cyanogen mod as well. U can even change fonts and what not
-A heck of a LOT of sensors
-50 gb of box storage
-It doesnt put a huge dent on the pocket considering its pretty much future proof for a year or even two if you arent a specs geek!

Bhai aap ne kabhi G2 istemaal bhi kya hai. Muft mein uss ki burayaain kr rhe ho. I am using it as a daily driver and the Optimus UI is a very cuztomizable and functional UI. Plus agar pasand nhi tou root kr ke CM11 install kr lo. The volume buttons on the back only take a couple of days of getting used to after that they dont feel awkward. Plus the touchscreen issue was on a few verizon handsets due to a software update. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!:mad:

Don't get your knickers in a twist, I'm not hear to start a fight, I've already been banned once.
I went to buy a phone, since I've known the shopkeeper for a while, he said he didn't have Nexus 5 (which is what I wanted), he would arrange one for me.
Meanwhile he said I should try out G2. He gave me one to use, I had it for almost 3 days. The phone was fine, not complaining about lag or anything. It was fast.
The volume button was annoying.
The UI (like I said), is stupid. I couldn't care less if you were using it as your daily driver or what. Not only me, even the shopkeeper I went to though the UI is dumb. I know how to root, but what about people who don't, what about people worried about warranty, these type of people can't/don't want to root so they can't install CM11.

Secondly, I know 3-4 people who live here, they were using the International G2's (not Verizon models). The screen would stop working. So NO, it's not only on the Verizon ones and FFS it wasn't because of a software update its a hardware defect with the display.

Woah, no one's here to start a fight. Lets just put it this way we both have opinions which are different and we both should respect each others opinions. I guess @yawar538 has to use it for himself. Besides i've never heard of the touchscreen issue so thats that.

M8 camera compromise is only that it's 4MP. If you are into zooming in/printing large photos then it won't be sufficient.
But apart from that it kills G2 camera. Its colours are more realistic, shoots much faster than G2 and low light/indoor shots are much better.

G3 was launched with Flat UI and it has been ported now for G and G2 both , LG UI 3.0 is quite old now and it was same one in G and G2.Don't rely on LG's promises much they promised knock code , dual screen and guest mode etc for KK update in G but in the end they just gave a smile. Android L has already been ported for G and i used it for few days but except lockscreen notifications nothing new .
Still i love LG devices and miss my G

The image quality of the camera found in the m8 is not bad at all but it doesnt capture as much detail as other phones do and it is quite evident when you start zooming in. Plus the res is low for editing pics.

LG UI has been ported to the G2 but its not official and might have a few bugs and features missing. OEM updates are supposed to be better and more reliable. Same goes for android L update since it was also an intial release only for devs. The commercial release is still to follow

Well not sure about G2 but flat ui worked like a charm on G even in call ui had no bugs. That was a 100 % stable port. Same goes for L, it was port from official L for nexus 4 which has identical specs as G. That wasn't a developer release.
