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.
