We really like the Nexus 5. It's uncomplicated, fast and, after our supermarket drop, very robust.It might not be glamorous and, like some phones, doesn't come with many bells and whistles.But how often do you use the "make-me-into-a-lion" camera feature...

Abstract: For the past few years Google has worked to steal customers from Apple by radically undercutting the price of its devices. The Nexus 5 is the latest step in this strategy, with Google intentionally selling it for close to half the price of the Apple iPhon...
Superb screen, Great handling, nice object to hold, Flawlessly responsive, Interface more practical than Nexus 4's, Light weight, System updates
Battery life, Nonexpandable memory
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

Clear, sharp screen, Engaging sound, Super-slick OS, A price tag that'll give you whiplash
Fiddly, fussy camera needs improvement, Sound quality lags behind that of most rivals
The Nexus 5 finall bows down to more advanced rivals after a lengthy stint as one of our favourite smartphones. It's no surprise: 2014's newcomers have been mightily impressive so far, upping the game in both specs and design (discounting the Samsung S5 o...
Abstract: Nexus 5 vs iPhone 5C: Size, weight, design The iPhone 5c is in essence the iPhone 5, but in a polycarbonate plastic casing. That makes it a little bigger and heavier than its predecessor, albeit only slightly. The iPhone 5C measures 59 x 124 x 9 mm an...
