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

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

If you compare the Nexus 5 to any other phone with a 5-inch display, it has at least one area where it is better than its competitors. It is faster than a Galaxy S4 and an HTC One, better designed that an LG G2. Android KitKat gives this phone a few featu...
High-speed performance, Accurate display with minimal bezel, Soft and grippy in black, attractive in white, Improved battery life with LTE, Future proof specs, Wireless charging
Corners dig in a little, Underperforming camera software, Slippery in white, plain looking in black, Insufficient external speaker volume, Auto brightness is too bright
Starting at only $399 outright this is an absolute bargain considering you're getting the very latest specced hardware. You can move up to physically larger phones like an Xperia Z1, LG G2 or a “phablet” sized Galaxy Note 3 and get similar hardware specs ...

Google positions the Nexus devices as premium offerings at a budget price. You can buy many cheaper Android phones, but none with the overall power of the Nexus 5. It's a strong play into the Google camp, and arguably a sign of where Google's going, but a...

Despite a few issues, the Nexus 5 is the perfect Android phone. It's not too big, not too small, not too expensive and not too cluttered with third-party nonsense. It's just right. It's the perfect formula, and it makes the Nexus 5 is the brilliant. Perso...

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

Mediocre battery life, Some camera quirks, No expandable memory
The Nexus 5 boasts an excellent screen, powerful internals and runs the latest version of Android, but is slightly let down by poor battery life, and a camera that can't quite match its flagship competitors. Despite a few flaws, it offers impressive value...
