13 November 2013
Nexus phone releases are timed to let Google have the last word – and what a way to have it! A phone that matches any flagship on specs and premieres the latest OS version, but costs barely half as much as some of them. The Nexus 5 promises a....

Good review. Bringing out positive and negetive points.

Awesome job.

Now my feedback to google :
1. The loudspeaker and headphone audio quietness is unacceptable for some music enthusiasts like me.

2. Also since current camera standard is 13MP, it would have been nice to have at least best 8MP cam.

        Google made the zippiest phone available but committed a huge crime by throwing in a mediocre battery..after a couple hours of 3g and screentime its a downward spiral..otherwise is a near damn perfect phone.

          "Hit that power button and watch the hardware disappear."

          Until power runs out.

            Yet another phone crippled by its poor battery life. What good is a thin phone if you have to sacrifice battery size just to make it thin?

              I guess s4 is better, stock android I can get with any smart supported by CM.. Camera quality, features like drama photo, dual photo, sound and shot and the best smart stay that prevents the screen turn of while u watch or read a text.. It's a good phone, but.. There's too many but..

                [deleted post]The problem with Samsung is that it use plastic cover either on lowend and highend phones. But Apple use it lately only on his 5c model.

                    Nice review, but its funny how all of a sudden Plastic body stopped being a bad feature, since Apple used it.

                    Remember how samsung used to be crucified bcos of plastic body.

                      The nexus 5 is an amazing android phone. But personnally I think that the new moto x will overtake his market share with his pricetag and features. Let's wait the future word.
