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
We have to admit it, guys. We were not excited when we learned that the new HTC One will use an UltraPixel camera, just like its 2013 predecessor. But now, after putting the phone's camera through its paces, our skepticism has vanished for the most par...
The Nexus 5 represents an interesting turn of events for Google and Android. At $350 off-contract, it provides the same performance as premium devices selling for twice its price. This means that the Nexus 5 offers a whole lot of power in reach of the ave...
Sprint Spark LTE support. Fast next-generation CPU and GPU. Beautiful full HD display. Android is better than ever with 4.4.1 "KitKat," and the camera is much improved. Solid battery life.
Hardware still isn't quite class-leading on all fronts
Sprint's Google Nexus 5 remains a blazing-fast, pure Android smartphone with support for the company's budding Spark LTE network, but it's not as good a deal as its unlocked counterpart....
The Google Nexus 5 may be one of the cheapest flagship Android smartphones on the market, but it's also a very capable one given the price. With the recent 4.4.2 update installed, it efficiently takes good photos too, thanks largely to good noise perform...
Affordably priced offcontract, Offered in both black & white color options, Excellent technical specs for the price, Lightweight, slim design, Battery lasts throughout a full day of use, 445 ppi provide stunning clarity, Android 4.4 is responsive & fast,
Design is bland and boring, Black matte back captures fingerprints easily, Builtin speaker isn't great, Plastic build materials aren't the most durable
I found the Nexus 5 to be a powerful, feature-packed smartphone offered at a bargain of a price tag. While Google was forced to cut costs in a few areas, I think they chose the right places to do so allowing the device the ability to still outperform most...
Abstract: However, with Apple having added a host of new features to its latest flagship iPhone, including a TouchID fingerprint sensor, 64-bit chip, and slow-mo camera, many have claimed that Google will still struggle to prise marketshare away from the Cupertino ...

Google did it again and released one of the most powerful smartphones on the market at a very decent price. The excellent display paired with the superb performance should give you a damn cool feeling about this phone. And most importantly, it's cheaper t...
Abstract: Cheap is the new expensive. Crazy to believe it, but it’s true as we uncover some of the recent devices to enter the market. For the longest of time now, high-end smartphones tend to fall within that golden price point of $200 with a 2-year contract. I...

Google adds a subtle but appreciated level of polish to the Android UI with its latest iteration of the OS. This has been true for a while now, but the Android we're talking about today is really a far departure from what existed back in the early 2.x day...
Abstract: In BGR's full review of the Nexus 5 , we called the camera one of the weakest points on Google's latest smartphone. We found during our tests that photo quality in good lighting is impressive, but we said low-light photos are terrible and the Nexus 5′s ca...
