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

Would have loved to see a 64 GB model
Camera doesn't quite match up to the rest of the hardware
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
Abstract: Nexus 5It's no wonder, then, that Google's new Nexus 5 slipped into backordered status within minutes of its launch. The Nexus 5 -- built by LG and available now for $349 to $399 (with a three- to five-week shipping delay as of this writing) -- is the fir...
It's a year since Google made a splash with an impressively spec'd smartphone at a bargain price. The Nexus 4 wasn't a financial success perhaps but making a profit off selling hardware is rarely the first thing on Google's mind. The pure Android experien...
Abstract: Remember when I said I couldn't put Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 down? Well, I put it down. After months of rumors, leaks and speculation, Google finally took the wraps off of its new Nexus 5 smartphone last week and Android fans were elated. The sleek new han...
The screen is plenty bright even in direct sun light, and pretty, too. The phone is fast. Its software is the latest and greatest from Google (and it should get fast updates in the future). We like the increased Google Now integration, easily mobile paym
There's really only one thing about the Nexus 5 that we absolutely hate: the speaker. From the image above you'd think it's stereo, but nope, the grill on the left is the speaker and the grill on the right is the mic. While the clarity isn't awful, the sp
Probably. Not only is it an excellent phone right now, its the most future-proofed phone currently in existence. Its got horsepower to spare, and since its Googles baby it should get updates from the mothership for a long time to come. Plus, $350 off-...

Camera technology – There's still much left to be improved here, hardware and software wise, Merging Google services – Google Hangouts and SMS in one app, duplicate Gallery and Google Photos, it can get confusing for newbies, Google, Global Availability –
I thoroughly enjoyed using the Nexus 5 in the last 2 weeks. My personal HTC One is now sitting in my drawer, while I continue to use the Google Nexus 5. I can safely say that I don't know if I will want to swap my microSIM back to the HTC One for awhile.I...

Abstract: The latest Google Nexus smartphone, the Nexus 5 , has a high chance of not making its way to Malaysia – at least not officially. Hence when we spotted the Nexus 5 on display at Sandisk's MWC 2014 booth, out came the camera for a quick hands on session, on...

That sub-RM1600 price, Powerful, scarily clever KitKat, Sexy screen
Not the longest-lasting battery, Camera needs improvements
With Google Now and voice search Android has been utterly invaded by Google's services and that makes KitKat scarily powerful. More importantly, with an understated build, terrific screen and unflappable performance, the hardware is a worthy match for the...
Can the Nexus 5 fight for the title of the best Android smartphone this year? Probably not, but we see Google making significant progress in ensuring that its Nexus smartphones can hold their own against other Android flagship smartphones.The price, stock...

Abstract: Vibrant bright red.Last month Google launched a new color for the Nexus 5 — vibrant red! It was actually kinda timely because as we all know February is the month of hearts thanks to Valentine's Day. We decided to take the jump and get one last week from ...
