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

Best value smartphone on the market, period; Excellent screen; Android 4.4 looks very good and is easy to use; Rubberised finish isn't as solid as metal, but the phone still manages to feel amazing in the hands; Fantastic Cat4 mobile broadband speeds;
Only a day of battery life;
For the latest Nexus handset, Google and LG have literally crafted a slightly smaller version of the G2 smartphone with buttons in the typical places that can be had for under $500.That's a price that makes it very hard to pass up, and while the battery c...

If you compare the Nexus 5 to any other phone with a 5-inch display, it has at least one area where it is better than its competitors. It is faster than a Galaxy S4 and an HTC One, better designed that an LG G2. Android KitKat gives this phone a few featu...
High-speed performance, Accurate display with minimal bezel, Soft and grippy in black, attractive in white, Improved battery life with LTE, Future proof specs, Wireless charging
Corners dig in a little, Underperforming camera software, Slippery in white, plain looking in black, Insufficient external speaker volume, Auto brightness is too bright
Starting at only $399 outright this is an absolute bargain considering you're getting the very latest specced hardware. You can move up to physically larger phones like an Xperia Z1, LG G2 or a “phablet” sized Galaxy Note 3 and get similar hardware specs ...

Google positions the Nexus devices as premium offerings at a budget price. You can buy many cheaper Android phones, but none with the overall power of the Nexus 5. It's a strong play into the Google camp, and arguably a sign of where Google's going, but a...
Ladies and gents, the Google Nexus 5 looking to be the best smartphone of any stripe in Australia for the year of 2013. It offers most of the hardware features of similar high-end models such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, does so in a form facto...
