Very fast performance, Handy new features in Android 4.4 KitKat, Easy-to-grip soft-touch design, Much cheaper than competing flagship phones
Camera needs improvement, Display a bit cloudy
The Nexus 5 delivers fast performance, a bright full-HD screen and lots of new features in Android KitKat, all for a very affordable off-contract price....

Let’s cut to the chase: at $350 without the ties of a two-year contract, the Google Nexus 5 is an excellent smartphone and a bargain at that. Flushed with the positive response the sub-$300 Nexus 4 received last year, Google and manufacturer LG have ag...
Abstract: Even though Samsung is usually seen as Apple's biggest rival on the mobile scene, it's probably Google we should really be looking at if we think about the 'iPhone versus Android' conflict in a deeper aspect. It's true that in terms of hardware, Google...
Great features at a low price with no contract commitment. Fast performance, pleasing full HD IPS display, will get Android updates first
Camera needs work, no microSD card slot, battery life is OK but not great
The Nexus 5 isn't the best smartphone on the market. In fact, there isn't a "best phone", because folks' needs are different: some want a small phone, others want lots of software features and still others want a phablet or a pen. The Nexus 5 is undou...
OK Google, your voice activation and navigation make for a great Bluetooth copilot in my car. Autojustabouteverything, from photo and video editing, to letting me know the latest scores. Simply the best reading and video viewing experience there is on a h
Exceedingly slippery. Slow shutter. Slurry images. How did this camera ship?
It's half the price of everything that competes with it, The gorgeous 445ppi display has bright, accurate colors, Mature, all-black good looks without any "faux" nonsense. Real care was put into things like the contrasting matte/glossy materials and round
Unspectacular battery life. You can kill the phone in six hours, but it will happily sit in a pocket all day without draining much, So-so storage speeds

Abstract: I have been living with the Google Nexus 5 for a week and just a couple days ago I thought I was going to return the device . After further evaluation and looking at available smartphones, it is clear to me the Nexus 5 is an outstanding value and there is...
Killer price for an unlocked smartphone. 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. Middling voice quality through the microphone
Google has delivered an impressive smartphone with the Nexus 5 from LG, an unlocked powerhouse with a palatable price and solid performance, and the new Android 4.4.1 KitKat update largely fixes the phone's initial camera problems....
Bargain price of $350, Simplified approach with the UI, Camera snaps sharp photos & videos
Modest look, Underwhelming battery life, Flat sounding internal speaker, No LTE support with Verizon
There’s a lot to be said about the Google Nexus 5, mostly good things quite frankly. First and foremost, we can’t help but to mention yet again the killer pricing that’s attached with this high-end smartphone – something that continues to be the trend ...
