| Nexus 5 |
It is the first device which has 4.4 Kitkat now updated to 4.4.2 Kitkat
Then it comes to choosing the color of the device i always go with black but not this time.. and there are reasons why ...for which i will be writing another review .it will be online by the end of the day..
Design Or Hardware
The Nexus 5 has some understated design like other Google hardware, LG manufactured this guy and it looks nothing like the LG G2 on which it is based on, it is one of the slimmest phones in the market and incredibly light too. the first thing you are going to notice is the weight (130g) when you hold this device. it has a flat back with a little curve just on the sides.![]() |
| Back-Front-Side |
Button layout is also nice unlock key is on the top right is with just below it is the mirco sim card tray , on the left side are the volume rockers.
On the bottom is the speaker, i hate to say it but it is not the best speaker you can get in a smart phone, when you put your finger on right side nothing happens but the other side can completely mute the device.but when you try to put the specs of a 600USD phone and make a 350USD device you have to make shortcuts somewhere.

| Transparent notification and navigation bar |
The display of the device is incredibly sharp has a 1080x1920 resolution it has a IPS display with 441 ppi .it has super high brightness view able from a ton of angles but sometime the contrast ratio look a little bit washed out.and i can see the LCD back light from a specific angle and it became a thing that i just kept noticing...

| Ear piece |
In the white version the ear piece is also white.. which looks really awesome
this phone comes in two colors black and white and a 16 or 32 GB of memory (not expandable)...
Software and Specifications
This is a nexus device so the main attraction is the software...
The navigation bar at the bottom and the notification bar at the top are transparent that makes the display look really big..

The camera with all the other high-end internals of the phone you will expect the camera to be high-end too ,it's not ,it has 8 mega pixel sensor with optical image stabilization..it gets great photos in light and get the colors right not all phone has that ability but you cannot count on it in low light shots it it can take time in focusing which really slow the shots you can take.it can take up to 1 sec to get a photo in HDR mode but the video quality is really nice the microphone is really good . one of the best in any smart phone this phone has gotten two update of Kitkat... but all these problem are now fixed with the new update to 4.4.2 ...
after the update you can take shots quickly like the, like you colud do with the previous nexus devices and the HDR mode doesn't takes that much time..

Google has removed lot of the hollow blue accent from the previous version and made it white the device looks more clean and looks better ..
You can not find an app or game where the Nexus cannot keep up with you ,icons are bigger too.. ..web browsing zoom in zoom out .there is immersion mode which lets the app take over and hide the notification bar and the the navigation bar..

| Kitkat |
The battery is the most depressing part of this device it gas a 2300MAh battery but it cannot last for a day. i get up at 7am and around 5 pm it is almost empty i have to get it charged. i wish the battery was better,LG could have made the phone slightly thick and put a bigger battery inside...

But after all that we cannot forget that it is a 350USD device with very high specs and reviewers get confused to which phone they should compare it with and it often get compare with the Beasts of 600USD ..
From my point of view it is a really nice device and if you want to be the first one to get all the udates or just love the nexus line and the experience of stock Android you should definitely buy it...
feel free to leave a comment and tell me your views about the Nexus 5
Peace
