Google likes to use different manufacturers to make it’s range of Nexus products. The Nexus 5 is made by LG, whereas the Nexus 7 is by Asus and the Nexus 10 by Samsung. You probably wouldn’t know LG make it unless you spot the little logo on the back, though. It has none of the quirky design elements of the LG G2, which is no bad thing.
This is a deeply pragmatic phone in many respects, in that Google was clearly out to make a mobile that looks and feels great, without any of the flashy, budget-busting bits of a £600 phone like the iPhone 5S. The Google Nexus 5 is arguably much more conservative, design-wise, than the Nexus 4 it replaces.
The Nexus 5 is made of soft touch matt black plastic. It doesn’t sound as impressive as the aluminium of the HTC One, but the response from the TrustedReviews team was unanimous – it feels great.
Its back is lightly curved, adding to the hand-friendliness of the silky smooth finish. The Nexus 5 looks good, too. Every part of the phone bar the LED flash is black(a white version is also available), and the lack of any recognisable gaudy extras beyond the over-sized camera lens housing make it quite a’pure’ design.
Pros Excellent value Great performance Decent low-light camera performance Excellent screen
Cons Non-expandable memory Camera tends to overexpose Mediocre battery life
love it, and if the camera would be better it would be the best phone ever made, for the speed, for the specs, and for the display, I hope Google will make a nexus 6 but not a 5.9 ". So, I love it, and every single time that I use it, I’m feel better!
