But the Google Nexus 5 looks and feels quite different from the Nexus 4. The glass-topped shiny back has been traded-in for matt plastic. It may sound sound too impressive

The Google Nexus 5 is well-made
But it's not quite as impressive in-hand as the unibody aluminium HTC One. There's a seam around the phone's edge too
Making it look less pristine than Nokia's plastic Lumia phones also. And though manufacturer LG has made the frame as narrow as possible for a five inch display
You should also try out a phone this size if you're used to much smaller mobiles

Abstract: The thing with spending just a few weeks with a loaner Nexus 5, Google and LG's Android 4.4 KitKat reference device, is that I'm not able to enjoy what's easily this phone's most attractive feature – the fact that it only costs US$349 unlocked from the Go...
Abstract: And so begins the reign of the latest Nexus smartphone, the aptly named Google Nexus 5, which like its predecessor, has that killer one-two punch with its affordable cost and impressive set of hardware. As we all know, though, the Nexus 5 reads very si...
Abstract: Android and fragmentation have become almost synonymous as manufacturers and carriers struggle to keep pace with the quickly-updated OS, but the real fragmentation issue is the experience users get with pure Android versus manufacturer customizations. ...
Abstract: Now this seems like a pickle more than anything else, as the Nexus 5 stares face-to-face with its competition in the Moto X – a device, much like the Nexus, has strong influences straight from El Goog. You’d think that the Nexus 5 would’ve been commis...
The Nexus 5 has some brilliant features going for it, a super-fast CPU, the latest version of Android unfettered by skins, a minimal design that's satisfying and familiar. When you add all these up the Nexus 5 shines more than any of these single eleme...
