It depends entirely on individual use. In the case of the Nexus 4 (as it were), its lack of LTE was a deciding issue for me, personally, and I'm still not sure the Nexus 5's price point dissuades me from wanting the following:

1. a removable battery and SIM
2. a microSD slot with at least 64GB capacity
3. USB audio enabled out of the box
4. 24/96-192k audio (not on the S4, but on the Galaxy Note 3 and LG G2).

Gorgeously designed, compellingly full-featured and ingeniously priced, the Nexus 5 (or a later iteration) might be the cleverphone I choose when next I'm in the market, but brand/product agnosticism is one of the best things about Android specifically and the current smartphone market generally. We have lots of excellent choices.

That said, I'm grabbing a Nexus 5 the moment there's a significant sale (i.e., when the new model's ready!).
