Although the issues we take with the Nexus 5 are considerable, they’re not enough to keep us from recommending this device.
One of the issues have which is the lackluster camera, might be resolved with a software fix. And even if it were a minor fix, it’s not so bad that you’ll never be able to take good photos with it.
What really gets us here is what we’re not used to seeing, and that’s a device with these kinds of specs at this price point. It’s not just the specs, either, but the fact that the outright cost of the device means thinking about whether you want to commit to a carrier contract is easy.
The display is nice, performance is fast, Android 4.4 KitKat smoothes out the overall Android experience and, because it’s unlocked, it’s free of carrier bloatware and restrictions.
Whenever Android is updated, the Nexus 5 will be one of the first devices to get that treatment. it is good device to use as primary device.
