NEXUS 5 REVIEW

although it got bigger than Nexus 4 ( 4.9 inches ) the phone became slimmer and more compact than NEXUS 4. On the left edge there is  volume rocker and 3.5 mm headphone jack and on the right side power button is placed along with a sim card slot.  The micro USB slot is at the bottom edge. like the  NEXUS  7 there is  a LOGO of NEXUS on the back of the phone. The phone weighs 4.95 ounces and is available in black , white and mattle.  

 

 

 

4.95 inches FULL HD display is made up of corning gorilla glass 3. the phone has 1920 X 1080 resolution. Although the display is dim we can't take that as a negative point. It is clear that they sacrificed  display for cutting down price.

The rear camera is 8 MP with OIS (optical image stabilization ) even an shaky hand can take some neat pictures with it. The camera also  offers features like   HDR + , auto and manual focus, exposure metter, 4 scene modes, geotagging and 3.9 X digital zoom.OIS in this phone phone is good but not good as  the one in LG G2.The 1080p videos also were  satisfactory.

 

 

 

 

Google nexus 5 sports a 2.26 GHZ SnapDragon 800 processor same as that of  HTC ONE MAX and LG G2 and  a 2 GB RAM . since the phone  is running on Android 4.4  which requires 16 % less memory than jelly bean the phone will have great performance capabilities .It will just take about 25 seconds for the phone to shut down and restart and all the basic operations like camera , returning to home screen can be done with ease.The battery of the phone is 2300 Mah same as that of  HTC ONE MAX  but the GS4 has relatively  strong 2600 Mah battery . NEXUS 5  has 17 hours talk time and 300 hours stand by battery life.

 

The  phone runs on Android 4.4 the latest OS from Google android platform. Android 4.4 comes with a major tweak of  fixing Android fragmentation . The OS also provides features like

The phone also hosts connectivity features like Bluetooth 4.0 , NFC and wireless charging.

 

 

 

Although the phone's Camera and 1080P  is not up to the mark it is worth it besides we can't compare it with high end phones since it is only costing $350 of your money and others are around $ 650 and above.
