The Nexus 5 is one of the best Android smartphones that you can buy for under Rs. 30, 000. Powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor, and 2GB RAM, the phone ticks all the right boxes in terms of hardware specifications. Since it’s a Google experience device, you’re always assured of regular software updates(at least for the 18 months promised period).
These two big factors do partially offset the main disadvantages of the phone, namely its mediocre camera, lack of external storage support and underwhelming battery backup. Google may or may not bring a software fix to resolve the issues(if these are due to the software limitations) but even assuming that this is not the case, the starting price of Rs. 28, 999 makes the Nexus 5 a great deal. We can’t think of a phone in this price range that delivers the same value.
