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
OK Google, your voice activation and navigation make for a great Bluetooth copilot in my car. Autojustabouteverything, from photo and video editing, to letting me know the latest scores. Simply the best reading and video viewing experience there is on a h
Exceedingly slippery. Slow shutter. Slurry images. How did this camera ship?
Great design, excellent screen, extremely fast, latest version of Android, no bloatware, costs much less than its competitors
Camera is disappointing, no microSD card slot

Killer price for an unlocked smartphone. Fast next-generation CPU and GPU. Beautiful full HD display. Android is better than ever with 4.4.1 "KitKat," and the camera is much improved. Solid battery life.
Hardware still isn't quite class-leading on all fronts. Middling voice quality through the microphone

In absolute terms, the Nexus 5 would earns a “very good” rating, but if you factor in that it costs about half the price of high-end phones, I have to kick it up a notch. The Nexus 5 provides an excellent (pure) Android experience, with the latest feature...
