Although nexus 5 was launched long ago but still it is very soothing to use even its successors are launched i.e nexus 5x and nexus 6p but in real time performance it is not at all behind them. It is running on the latest android that is android Marshmallow and even it will continue to get updates in coming years.
Talking about the build quality, it has a very slim form factor and has a 5 inch screen size which makes it easy to use with one hand. this phone is available in white and black colour options. I will recommend black one because the other tends to turn yellow after two three months.
Talking about the display, it has a very vivid and shard full HD display having a ppi of 441.Display is also perfect for outdoor conditions. Talking about the camera, I found this is the only place where this phone gets less marks, camera is not up to the mark, I found the low light photography bit noisy even when the flash is used. day light outdoor stills come out to be decent but I expected more.
Talking about the battery, I was not at all satisfied with the battery backup it cant even manages a full day support in average usage and in heavy usage batter drains even faster. I would like to mention one more thing, the phone doesn’t come with the option to extend storage means you have to manage with the internal storage only
All in all I would recommend this phone because of its incredible performance and brilliant build quality how ever it you wanted a phone with best optics and battery backup than this is not the phone for you
