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
Android 4.4 KitKat is more conceptual than feature-rich
Camera needs improvement
Display a bit cloudy
Camera needs work
No microSD card slot
Battery life is OK but not great
Hardware still isn't quite class-leading on all fronts
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
It's a year since Google made a splash with an impressively spec'd smartphone at a bargain price. The Nexus 4 wasn't a financial success perhaps but making a profit off selling hardware is rarely the first thing on Google's mind. The pure Android experien...
Abstract: Nexus 5It's no wonder, then, that Google's new Nexus 5 slipped into backordered status within minutes of its launch. The Nexus 5 -- built by LG and available now for $349 to $399 (with a three- to five-week shipping delay as of this writing) -- is the fir...
Abstract: Remember when I said I couldn't put Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 down? Well, I put it down. After months of rumors, leaks and speculation, Google finally took the wraps off of its new Nexus 5 smartphone last week and Android fans were elated. The sleek new han...

Probably. Not only is it an excellent phone right now, its the most future-proofed phone currently in existence. Its got horsepower to spare, and since its Googles baby it should get updates from the mothership for a long time to come. Plus, $350 off-...

I thoroughly enjoyed using the Nexus 5 in the last 2 weeks. My personal HTC One is now sitting in my drawer, while I continue to use the Google Nexus 5. I can safely say that I don't know if I will want to swap my microSIM back to the HTC One for awhile.I...

Abstract: The latest Google Nexus smartphone, the Nexus 5 , has a high chance of not making its way to Malaysia – at least not officially. Hence when we spotted the Nexus 5 on display at Sandisk's MWC 2014 booth, out came the camera for a quick hands on session, on...

That sub-RM1600 price, Powerful, scarily clever KitKat, Sexy screen
Not the longest-lasting battery, Camera needs improvements
With Google Now and voice search Android has been utterly invaded by Google's services and that makes KitKat scarily powerful. More importantly, with an understated build, terrific screen and unflappable performance, the hardware is a worthy match for the...
Can the Nexus 5 fight for the title of the best Android smartphone this year? Probably not, but we see Google making significant progress in ensuring that its Nexus smartphones can hold their own against other Android flagship smartphones.The price, stock...
