[QUOTE="alekhkhanna, post: 1966832, member: 20755"] I don't have a N5 atm, but used it for a month or so some 5-6 months back. From what I remember: 1) Battery: Mi3 beats the N5. N5 has terrible battery. With my usage, would barely get 16 hours or so out of it. Here it lasts for a day. 2) Camera: Don't exactly remember, but Mi3 has an excellent cam. I've seen reviews online and people sway both ways. Have clicked some 7-8 photos with it, both in and out, and I'm surprised how better it is compared to Moto G (since both are in the same price range). Colours are neutral (which is good if you wanna PP). Just wishing it shot RAW (I know, too much :p) 3) Android ex: This is where I think both are equal. Depends on what you're looking at though. Coming from N5 usage for a month, and then Moto G for around 3-4 months (both on stock Android; very fluid), this seems like a pleasant surprise. Yes, some quirks exists (like removing the default browser to make any other browser default), but the other small tweaks (like swiping up on Note icon opens a new note; music player opens up a small widget to control playback, easy options to recovery, so so easy to mass move or mass delete apps etc) are really well done. The UI is smooth, butter smooth. No lags, jitter. Rooting is easy, Xposed can be installed and works. I don't see a reason to go back to stock, at least not in the near future. YMMV. 4) Display: It's a wonderful display. LCD, not AMOLED. Again, depends on what you like, but AFAIR, N5 also has LCD. Colours are clean, vibrant. Very smooth to touch. Finger literally glides over the glass. Gorilla Glass 3. Again, I found the display to be "smoother" than Moto G. Edit: Also excellent viewing angles. Best I've seen till now from the mobiles I've owned. Ninja edit 2: Also tweaks like showing the real time net speed in the taskbar, consumption in the notification shade (all native) are so nicely implemented. Half of the things which require other apps in stock are already in built. Very well thought off. [/QUOTE]
