The editors didn't like
There's really only one thing about the Nexus 5 that we absolutely hate
The speaker. From the image above you'd think it's stereo
But nope
The grill on the left is the speaker and the grill on the right is the mic. While the clarity isn't awful
The sp
The camera is frustratingly hit or miss
Battery life was inconsistent
Hardware design is unexciting
Modest look
Underwhelming battery life
Flat sounding internal speaker
No LTE support with Verizon
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
The Nexus 5's screen is dimmer than its competitors' and its camera struggles under auto settings. While an important OS update

Camera needs improvement
Display a bit cloudy
Camera needs work

Design is bland and boring
Black matte back captures fingerprints easily
Builtin speaker isn't great
Plastic build materials aren't the most durable
Subpar battery life
Subpar speaker quality
Hardware still isn't quite class-leading on all fronts. Middling voice quality through the microphone
Boring design
Lowlight photos hit or miss
Clunky design elements
SMS via Hangouts is awkward
Stock Android still playing catch-up
Exceedingly slippery. Slow shutter. Slurry images. How did this camera ship?
Google has strong hardware partners
Including
Most recently
Asus for its tablets and LG for its smartphones. The Nexus 5 has some highend specifications that ensure it will be praised for being good value for money. However
There are also one or two d
Inconsistent camera
Unremarkable industrial design
Poor speakerphone
OK Camera
OK battery life
Less than expected display quality
Not expandable storage
Camera is disappointing

Battery life isn't this phone's strong suit. Camera can be wildly inconsistent and remains a step behind the competition
