I used both.. Can tell u the pros and cons :-

Nexus 5
1) very smooth os because it always gets the latest update
2) pure google experience
3) slimmer profile due to 4.95in screen
4) standard comes with 16gb

G2
1) currently kitkat 4.4.2 however rom not as smooth as n5
2) 13mp with ois is superior to n5 in any conditions
3) larger screen 5.2in
4) 32GB
5) 3000ma battery vs 2300ma longer battery life by almost 40%

Price of both not much difference only rm150 more for g2.

U didn't read properly, I said standard comes with 16gb here in KL shops.. While g2 already selling the standard package for rm1399 with 32gb.

Their way of doing that is the Google edition of S5.

They are not going to do what he said because it eliminates the Samsungness of the Samsung.. if u know what I mean. That's why there is a google edition of the Samsung s4 and I think same will be done for the S5.

I beg to differ. You did not understand my explanation. It is only irrelevant because you do not understand. It is not in Samsung's nature to optimise the features, it is their core marketing strategy to sell the features in every new generation of their Galaxy series. If you put hundreds of features no matter how lean you make them, it will still take more resources and bog down the system.

The reason why there is a Google edition of the Galaxy series is to target the niche Nexus 5 group of consumers who are a minority. They do not need to revamp their whole design philosophy to cater for a small group of customers.

Try Xiaomi mi3.. Best phone in the market if u don't use LTE. The buttons are at the bottom of the screen. Just as fast as Nexus 5, bigger screen, 3050ma battery, good security, 13mp Sony Exmor camera.

the nexus 5 is not suppose to be a bling bling phone after all.. if u want someone to notice buy Vertu with all those diamonds sure they ask.

Very easy to find a buyer all depends on price. Buying at rm800+ later sell at rm600 sure better value than moto G.
