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

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

Awesome 1080p display, Blazing fast CPU & graphics, Lowlight camera performance, Great for video capture, Microphone sound quality is amazing, Thin, light & premium design, Clean & beautiful stock Android KitKat, Instant Android updates
Mediocre battery life, Speakers could be better, Camera software is uninspiring; no 60fps video despite hardware, Plastic on the white version is prone to scratches / material on the black version is prone to fingerprint smudges
Despite having a steeper price tag here in the PH, the Google Nexus 5 proves to be worth it. For $349, it's god-like and for Php20k+, it still kills. The Google Nexus 5 is exclusively available from Smart with a suggested retail price of Php22,495 for the...
