          Here you can find a comparison.
          https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

          Basically they both work very much alike and both are well supported
          Video playback with the N5 is bugged at the moment, but if it's not a deal breaker I can only recomment it.
          I don't know the OPO first hand, so...

            Or maybe wait just a bit more and buy a Pinephone? šŸ˜‰

            @amc400
            Why not considering Pinephone BTW?

              @amc400 I have had both, currently using an OPO as daily driver.

              OPO is a more powerful device, more RAM, but both run UBports as smoothly. Battery life is better in the OPO, the Nexus 5 had bad battery life even with the original OS.

              The Nexus 5 I think is easier to install, and really hard to brick. The OPO can also be installed easily, but if anything goes wrong, I think is harder to recover.

              For the OPO Bluetooth works I would say worse than with the Nexus, but there has been a patch which is being tested, I tried it and I think it improves Bluetooth a lot.

              This is my opinion.

                  Not true anymore. Mine last more than a day, up to 36h with more than 10% battery left.
                  OTA12 did great for the N5

                      @AppLee Good to know. My Nexus 5 died anyway at the start button, another common issue it seems with the Nexus 5. It is a great phone anyway, I had it for more than 2 years as daily driver with UBports.

                        @Keneda I would love to have a Pinephone, but unfortunately they can't ship it to my shithole country yet, and even if they did, the import taxes on phones are way too high here.

                            @Keneda I am from Tangier Morocco, you have a lot of Moroccans in France, So you will understand why I called it shithole country with shithole backwards people.

                              @amc400 You are Moroccans yourself? if yes don't be so rude with yourself ^^

                              Maybe you can ask for a proxy buyer that resell Pinephone to you. Or ask @PINE64 if they can add sell/ship option to your country.

                                @Keneda Yes I am Moroccan unfortunately lol, thanks for the kind words though, I appreciate it.
                                A proxy buyer is actually a good idea, I'll have a look at that, thank you very much @Keneda.

                                  I think all nations have good and shitty people, and we definetly can't judge anyone on its origins or other critera of that kind, everyone should only be valued on his acts as a human being towards others people and biosphere.

                                  Anyway, don't be afraid to ask @PINE64 too, they are close to their community.

                                    @Keneda I can't argue with that, I don't have the right to judge anyone.
                                    Yes, I asked @PINE64 if they can somehow ship it to my "country", I am waiting for a reply.

                                        I just tested here (add to cart and then process) https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-community-edition-ubports-limited-edition-linux-smartphone and Morocco is in the list of shipping countries, both DHL (30$) and "PinePhone" (15$) shipping.

                                          I got this msg under Shipping : There are no shipping methods available. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help.

                                          I did try it with a DE and US proxies and i got (PinePhone Shipping: $15.00; DHL Shipping: $25), apparently they decide the shipping prices based on the user geolocation.

                                              Oh yes, that changed for me... I had choice on cart for France and Morocco and now i don't on both on the cart. And yes, only have choice shipping for France on checkout.
                                              So back to hope for @PINE64 to solve this.
                                              I wish you a good day, i have to go to work ^^
