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

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
The Nexus 5 offers a good platform to show off Android 4.4 and although its design is pedestrian, the improved functionality of the new OS, speedy performance and competitive price should be tempting enough...
Superb screen, Fast processor, Has Android 4.4 on board, Excellent value for money
Relatively small battery, No microSD slot
The Nexus 5 isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It has plenty of higher-end features like Wi-Fi support for 802.11ac, NFC, LTE, and extras like wireless charging and video out via the SlimPort microUSB connector. However, it also has a somewhat underpowered...
It's easy to recommend the Nexus 5 based on price alone. There isn't a single other device that offers so much bang for your hard earned buck. OS choice aside, if you don't absolutely need an exceptional camera you'd have a pretty hard job justifying the...
Pedestrian design; Lacklustre camera performance; Some software glitches
In the Nexus 5, Google and LG have conspired to produce a competent if not awe-inspiring device that admirably showcases the new Android KitKat OS. Whilst Android 4.4 itself isnt anything to write home about particularly, the incremental improvements and...
Affordable, great design, good screen, top-end performance
Camera autofocus can be flaky
The Nexus 5 offers the top-end performance traditionally only seen on phones nearly twice its price. This and latest KitKat version of Google's OS make it one of the best Android smartphone currently available....

No SD card slot, Would have loved to see a 64 GB model, Camera doesn't quite match up to the rest of the hardware
The Nexus 5, on its merits, is a very good phone. However, when you factor in the price it's downright amazing. The biggest problem with the Nexus devices has always been awareness: consumers tend to be a bit confused by them and think that the Google bra...
Free Regcast : What's new in SQL Server 2014? Under the hood In terms of grunt, the Nexus 5 has a lot going for it. The handset uses a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor running at 2.26GHz and uses a 450MHz Adreno 330 GPU, along with 2GB of RA...

Excellent value for money, Stock Android
Battery life isn't brilliant, The rear is a bit ugly
Battery life could be better and the rear is a bit ugly. Plus there's no support for battery replacement of memory expansion. However, it's incredibly quick to use and the screen is fantastic. With “stock” Android in use you'll always have the latest ver...

The Nexus 5 boasts an excellent 5-inch Full HD display, a superbly powerful quad-core processor and the latest version of Android, 4.4 KitKat. Its specs will make even its top-end rivals jealous, but it charges much less for them. This makes it a great va...
