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....

      I just got this and had it for 4 days, it heats up too fast in some games within 10 minutes, so far, I am not to impressed . The phone is fast , nice looking and everything but heat and battery life not too good. most likely, will return it .

        It's cheap if you order it in the US but if you buy this
        outside US...then suddenly the nexus become a mid price smart phone..
        Tbh, the backcase feels good but it made the phone looks cheap...
        For another extra $100 i could get a LG G2..

              well to me its seems a rushed device. top cpu, awesome screen. oh chuck a cheap battery and camera sensor.But it is a mid range phone. But the Moto G, has a cracking camera for the price. and certainly no worse.

Nfc,Usb Otg and wifi direct is working fine .I have transferred data from pc to phone but there's no frequent disconnections.You are a troller.

                              NFC on the Nexus 5 phone doesn't work unless another supporting apps are downloaded. Games like injustice or Chota Bheem doesn't work as the phone crashes, The MX player provided on the Phone is pathetic as while playing video there's a lag & hence need to again download another app. GS Marena states USB on the go & wi-fi direct is supported which is ideally not. While transfering data from PC to Phone via USB there's frequent disconnection. Other than touch pad all other features are not that great because after investing 34K on the phone all these are not expected at all.

                                        Why the battery always is so bad for nexus phones? I like idea about google phones and don't care about storage so much, but battery.... Disappointment again....
