Should I sell my nexus 4 for the nexus 5?

[mustardtiger56]

Hi guys,
So in January I purchased my 16gb n4, and it is hands down the smoothest and well made phone I've ever seen or used. I use my phone mainly for texting, occasional gaming, social networking, and browsing. However I have a dilemna , its come to my attention that the nexus 5 is releasing soon and currently I could fetch 300$ for my n4 on eBay. This would pay for most of the nexus 5 if it is priced similarly to the n4. So b/c of that I have a few questions.
1. Will the screen quality be leaps and bounds better than the n4's or just slightly better?
2.will the n4 get android updates for the next year/2 years, and will it be able to run them smoothly?
3. will the n5's processor make things much smoother for the average user? Or will it be an almost unnoticeable difference?

So for an average user like myself , is it really worth the hassle to look for a buyer, or should I just stick with it until the n6? Thanks for any replies.

1)While not officially confirmed, the FCC report would indicate that the N5 will have a 4.96" screen that is 1080p. So in theory it should be better, perhaps a lot better. Granted we won't know until we get more concrete evidence.
2)It's tough to tell what the future will bring. It might be slow and progressive like the 4.x sequence has been, or it could be a drastic change like the 2.3 to 4.0 was. I would think it would be fine, but I can't guarantee it.
3)Again nothing is confirmed, but the FCC report seems to show that it has a Snapdragon 800 processor & Adreno 330 GPU. That is considered to be the best chipset in the android market at this point. On stock Android it's unlikely to make a noticeable difference in every day activity, but it might help increase battery life.
