Nexus 5 Review

LG Google Nexus 5 32 GB- Amazon

Of all the smartphones I have ever owned, the Nexus 5 definitely is at the top of the list. The phone has a sleek design and it feels great in your hand, with or without a case! I have owned this phone for about six months now and I still love it as much as the first day when I took it out of the box! It still performs great and keeps up very well thanks to it's Snapdragon 800 Quad-core processor. I have only had issues with the phone on an application side when a specific application freezes or doesn't meet expectations.

The camera on this phone performs amazingly when there is great lighting and takes some really nice pictures thanks to the HDR+ mode. Like most other cameras, however night time images come out grainy, sadly those pictures are not up to par with other smartphone cameras in the market. Give it great lighting and it produces some really astonishing images for a phone.

Google Now really pushes this phone to what smartphones can do with its constant reminders, traffic updates, interests on the internet based off of your search results an voice recognition. By saying "Okay Google..." you have access to the entire internet and the applications on your phone by voice command. If you're not using it yet, START!

I highly recommend this phone over any other android phone just because of it's clean Android feel. Plus buying it direct from Amazon rather than through your carrier ensures you don't have all those bulky applications that you can't remove!

This phone is slightly bigger than my last phone coming in at 4.95 inches vs. my last phone at 3.5 inches. Overall it is slightly bigger and as a female, I already knew it wasn't going to fit in any of my pockets (does fit in my back pocket, just not my front pockets). But I love the added screen real estate so I can't complain.

Batter life out of the box is phenomenal and I have been getting two days of use out of one charge, much better than my previous phone. The drawback of the battery is that it is not replaceable but a portable charger works well with it.

This phone also works with wireless charging which is really cool. I bought a wireless charger when I bought this phone and it works great. The drawback being that with a case (one that actually protects the phone) the locking positioning doesn't work as well.

My Review

ZORAA Voltii II - Amazon

I have tried external chargers like this one in the past and I was very disappointed. They just didn't work with my old phone (a T-Mobile MyTouch Q, it slid open and had a keyboard and it was a POS.) Since I got a new phone recently (a Nexus 5) I figured a back charger was worth a try again. I was excited to see that this charger works for the Nexus line too because I have both a Nexus 5 phone and a Nexus 10 tablet.

First, I love that this charger comes with the bonus $28 worth of gifts. There is a silk bag which can be used to transport the charger, the cords, and the plugs. A wall charger to get the external battery charger charged at home and a car charger to charge while on the go plus the cords to charge both Apple devices and Android devices. Another big perk, the ZORAA Voltii charger uses the same cords to charge itself as it does to charge your device so the wall and car chargers can be used to charge your device directly too!

This device is great for carrying in your pocket or purse. It is about an inch (ish) wide and four inches (ish) long. As for the title of the Amazon listing, I'm not sure it really is the "World's Smallest High Quality External Battery Pack" but it is small and it does work! And using the battery is SO simple!

To charge it:

1. Connect it to any USB power source using either the included cable or any other standard-to-micro USB cable (computer USB port, an AC powered USB charger, or another USB external battery, etc.)
2. Status light lights up (red while charging, blue when it's done.)

To use it charge your device:

1. Connect the appropriate cable to the standard USB port on the batter and plug the other end of the cable into the device you want to charge.
2. Turns on automatically.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
