im looking for a cheap placement for my note 3.
leaning toward nexus 5 as its vanilla android and cheaper.
i never used the note stylus.
my concerns
- sometimes ill watch iplayer for an hour...will the 4,95in screen fel too small compared to 5,5in note .... (id be comparing to note 4 as upgrade/alternative)
- can i only use the originsl operating software with the nexus...if yes will that feel outdated and if i can upgrade then will the newer software run too slow on an older device
thanks

The Nexus 5 can be upgraded to Marshmallow, I'm sure it'll run fine - but beware of the issue with failure to display notifications, primarily in Gmail but reportedly in other apps too, it's very annoying and Google seem to be doing very little about it.
