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

Fiddly

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

The Nexus 5 is currently the smartphone with the most bang for your buck. It has a superb screen, it's flawlessly responsive and it has KitKat. The camera and sound quality aren't the best, but they're nothing to gawk at, either. Our biggest complaint is ...

Price makes it fantastic value for money, powerful, quadcore processor, Android 4.4 KitKat, slim and neat
No microSD card slot, camera performance could be better, design might be too functional for some
