    Yep the nexus phones and tablets have never supported a memory card.

      I think they are so much the same nowadays with most people not even scratching the surface of the power of these things it's all down to preference. I can't think of anyone that has bought one of the leading smartphones and wishes they had bought a different one. I think as long as you pick one that has the major features you need like a bigger screen or memory add on if you are going to cart 100's of movies around or something then you won't be disappointed with what you get. You are gonna tie yourself up in knots trying to compare them by specs etc. Go have a look at them and pick the one that catches your eye IMO.

        They don't have a microSD card slot, if that's what you mean.

        Nexus 5 supports OTG, whereas the Nexus 4 doesn't, so the N5 supports a memory card that way.

          Depending on the size you want, but I have a 4G Samsung Note 3, 5.7 inch diagonal, Full HD, 32Gb, also added a 64Gb sd card.

          Lovely phone, beautiful screen great for videos, lots of functionality. S-Pen is a bit of a gimic but useful sometimes.

            Android Operating System - Prefer Samsung Galaxy

            I've had three Galaxy's now. Tried 3/4 and the mini. Standard size is definitely better - easier to type. Better spec (not that I noticed!)

              Is that an issue these days? I've had a 16gb N4 since launch and never come near to maxing out storage, google cloud services are very good IMO.

                I'd max out 32Gb just with my music so it wouldn't do for me. Connecting one via a lead doesn't do it for me either so I will have to drop the Nx from the list. Shame as they look like a really good deal otherwise...

                  I thought so too. Came from Galaxy S2 which has total of 48GB and I used all of it...

                  I now have all my music in the cloud and my Nexus 5 still has 25GB free.

                  If I need local copies of my music I just download a selection...

                    I can live with everything in the cloud as I have truly unlimited data contract on my phone. Without that though I can see why you think you need storage..

                      Call me paranoid but I don't use the cloud because I don't trust big companies not to use my data against me. And I prefer to listen to music knowing that the NSA are not logging my track-by-track listening habits. I just do...
