They may be brothers
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
But its soft finish feels great on your fingers. The Nexus 5 is pretty slim and light too. At 8.6mm thick and 130g
The phone is exactly the same weight as a Galaxy S4
And only slightly thicker. With a s

Battery life
Nonexpandable memory
Average camera
No micro SD card support
Camera autofocus can be flaky
Lackluster camera
Inconsistent battery life
Fiddly
Fussy camera needs improvement
Sound quality lags behind that of most rivals
The Nexus 5's screen is dimmer than its competitors' and its camera struggles under auto settings. While an important OS update
Android 4.4 KitKat is more conceptual than feature-rich
Pedestrian design
Lacklustre camera performance
Some software glitches
Battery life isn't great and neither is the camera
Camera performance leaves a little to be desired
Battery performance could be better
The design and build might divide opinion
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

Ryan's take: Can we just step back for a moment from grumbling about mediocre camera performance and a less that stellar speaker? This phone costs $350, and I don't think there's another Android device out there I'd rather use. After having this phone ...
The Nexus 5 isn't the best smartphone on the market. In fact, there isn't a "best phone", because folks' needs are different: some want a small phone, others want lots of software features and still others want a phablet or a pen. The Nexus 5 is undoub...

Here in the US, it's easy to see why the Nexus 5 might go largely overlooked by mainstream consumers. With retailers like Best Buy and Radio Shack offering it for $149 and $49 (respectively) on a 2-year contract, the Nexus 5 is going to have a hard tim...
Abstract: Even though Samsung is usually seen as Apple's biggest rival on the mobile scene, it's probably Google we should really be looking at if we think about the 'iPhone versus Android' conflict in a deeper aspect. It's true that in terms of hardware, Google...

Let’s cut to the chase: at $350 without the ties of a two-year contract, the Google Nexus 5 is an excellent smartphone and a bargain at that. Flushed with the positive response the sub-$300 Nexus 4 received last year, Google and manufacturer LG have ag...

Very fast performance, Handy new features in Android 4.4 KitKat, Easy-to-grip soft-touch design, Much cheaper than competing flagship phones
Camera needs improvement, Display a bit cloudy
The Nexus 5 delivers fast performance, a bright full-HD screen and lots of new features in Android KitKat, all for a very affordable off-contract price....
It's half the price of everything that competes with it, The gorgeous 445ppi display has bright, accurate colors, Mature, all-black good looks without any "faux" nonsense. Real care was put into things like the contrasting matte/glossy materials and round
Unspectacular battery life. You can kill the phone in six hours, but it will happily sit in a pocket all day without draining much, So-so storage speeds
Great features at a low price with no contract commitment. Fast performance, pleasing full HD IPS display, will get Android updates first
Camera needs work, no microSD card slot, battery life is OK but not great
