    One of the most well done reviews I've ever seen. Very professional, well edited, your opinion is unbiased and your criticisms are fair, but most of all it was a pleasure to watch and hear you speak. You've made me want to get this phone.

      A better reason not to get it is because of it's bad screen ("sub720p") and mediocre "specs" and camera.

    I watched this whole video on my Nexus 5. I agree with most of the things you said. I came from my Note 3, and there are some good things about the Note 3. But as am "Android Modder", the Nexus 5 is pure Gold. CM11 will probably make the battery much better, and the OS.
    As always, excellent video and good day to you sir.

    Great video review, once again. You can't be more thorough and honest than Marques. I have a Nexus 5 and I can't agree more. Battery life can be better, camera is a bit slow and the speaker needs work. I'm sure Google will update those as we go along. Thanks, Marques, for the great job.

    • @BetoTheButcher
      @BetoTheButcher 11 лет назад

      That's hard to say for me because I never got the 4. I replaced my Galaxy nexus and it's well worth it for me because my Gnex was very slow and unstable with no 4.4 coming to it either.
      This is fast and snappy, the battery needs work, but the feel is fantastic. It's up to you.

      The battery is not great. I got 5.5 hours of use yesterday, the screen is a battery hog for sure. I didnt charge purposely, but looking forward to buying a battery extender when available. The price, screen, speed make the phone worth the battery hassle for me. Im sure Google will update the camera app, speaker and give us a bit more battery life soon enough.

  • @DavidKing325

    I bought the red nexus 5 a week ago. Dropped it on the road. The screen dropped over a metre; face first into some large pieces of gravel. The screen protector (Crystal: Spigen) had 4 raised points where it impacted the gravel. I thought the screen itself had chipped at those points. When I removed the screen protector the screen was 100%. I just can't believe it. It was a big drop on hard surface and directly to the face. I have the Spigen Lite Armour case but the phone fell face first with all of the impact to the screen. Just incredible.

    Dude, this is one, no, this is probably THE best video review I have ever watched. I really really enjoyed it. Got my Nexus 5 ordered and waiting for it to come after 5 years of using iPhones since the first generation. I really hope this is some breakthrough, finally. Regarding the battery life, I do not worry about it too much, as it may get a fix soon, and even if not, the Cyanogen is coming, opening the way to new battery saving optimizations. So, hoping for the best and once again thanks for the review.

    Ultimately I'd love front facing speakers but the speaker on the bottom is more appealing than on the back. It's easier to hear if I'm laying in bed and the back of the phone is muffled by my comforter.
    I agree the camera is slow but I have taken and edited some fantastic shots with my n5 and so has +Myriam Joire. The ois also makes it incredible to use with camscan to scan text to make pdfs.
    Great review though.

    An incredibly thorough review of the Nexus 5; the Storm Trooper name is pretty cool too. Thanks *****
    I'm loving my Nexus 5 - you nailed it when saying it is the most "Google experience" to date. Other than the speakers, I have no complaints whatsoever. Very clean device, absolutely smooth OS, unparalleled Google experience and services.
    After a decade, I finally left ***** for ***** just to purchase the #Nexus5 and I have absolutely no regrets. T-Mobile so far has been a much better [network] experience in every way here in the NYC Metropolitan area. T-Mobile's LTE speeds are blazing fast, consistent and dependable (not to mention T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds out performs VZW's CDMA 3G speeds every time).

      Bloatware is those preinstalled apps people never use that manufacturers put on the device that can't be uninstalled unless you root your device.

    • @MattWebb13
      @MattWebb13 11 лет назад

      mynameismag1 Bloatware is the rubbish software installed by default on phones and computers by the vendor or carrier. Think antivirus trial software on a new computer or carrier-specific front-ends and apps that show up on new phones unnecessarily and make it run slower. The Nexus line and a handful of "Google Experience" devices have stock Android with none of the bloatware found on a lot of other devices.

    Great view *****. As a Verizon coverage locked user, I love hearing about the Nexus 5. However, I keep getting saddened by hearing about the camera and now about the speaker. Concerning the camera, the Moto X has been great since the recent update. I love it. Hopefully Google can resolve the Nexus 5 camera issues with software too.

      @JohnWilson3 11 лет назад +4

      ***** I hear ya. I am also locked into VZW. My wife saw the N5 and wanted it but no luck here. VZW works everywhere I go 95% of the time while other services don't. Which sucks. Looks like I might get the MotoX Dev edition for my wife. I don't like locked BLs.

      Well. He did state that he is a power user.
      If you are as well then I suggest you're better off with a phone with a bigger battery.
      If you're an average or medium user like me then you will have no problem whatsoever. Power users can heavily aggressive to the battery because they tend to use the phone running a lot of things usually 24/7.
      I wish he would state what the battery would be like if you were a casual battery consumption user.
      Reviews that I have seen concerning the battery life say that it is good. It's not overly great but not bad either. They were able to get through a full days use with even some power to spare. But that's because they were average users. In the end it depends what it will be for you. Hope this helped !

    • @VikramT7

    I had mine for about 7 months. At first it was amazing, everything worked fine, really fast, no problems. The longer I had it however, it began to freeze, closing the apps on its own, keyboard not appearing. The worst thing though is that this phone overheats...A LOT! It overheats and freezes even though I only use it for a few minutes at a time, I have barely anything on it (only a few essential apps), and I close the apps after using them (which I shouldn't even do...). I of course tried to clean the cache, turning it off for a while or even zeroing it and it still does that. So if you are considering buying this phone, take what I wrote into consideration.

    It seems the speaker is good, but something is wrong with the drivers/software. Try listening to a Google Music track (crap quality) and then compare with a RUclips song. Much better. I believe Google will fix this soon (hopefully).

    • @Acedooncoon
      @Acedooncoon 10 лет назад +13

      Totally agree! As long as the pix come out good to your eyeball then nothing else should matter. Especially if you're not a photographer.

    • @ZhaoWeiLiew
      @ZhaoWeiLiew 9 лет назад +6

      Because most of the time the number of megapixels itself doesn't really matter. It can have a decent number of megapixels, but the photo quality and reproduction may end up not up to expectations

    • @Acedooncoon
      @Acedooncoon 9 лет назад +1

      And I get it.....but what does that mean to someone who is not into all that "fancy" stuff? What does it mean to the avg joe who just wanna take a quick selfie for Facebook and or Instagram or any other social website? It means nothing. Most people hardly know the settings in their phone, let alone how well an actual photo comes out when u analyze it. But that's none of my business tho. **Sips Tea** ☕

    I've had this device for a week now and I must say that I'm impressed aside from the fact that there's an 8 mp camera. But I've heard that the main complaint is the battery. Its weird cause my Nexus 5's battery life is shockingly good for me...I go to work every day at 645 am - 730pm and at the end of the day itll be 80-75% and I use this phone ALLOT. All you have to do is turn off things like hotkey, NFC, bluetooth, etc and the device will def last you throughout the day. Maybe even longer...

    Love how apple fanboys show up on an android review to tell people that the features and whatnot are better even though apple copies stuff from other companies including android. Look at the ios 8 keynote for example, the "new features" are copied from android. The iphones might be fast, but that's only because ios is one of the lightest skins out there. Put ios 8 on a nexus 5 or a Samsung Galaxy S5 and the iphones are shit out of luck.

    Nexus 5 was my very first phone, it lasted about 2 years till I decided it was a good idea to jump on a trampoline with it 😅. But as a first phone, it wasn't so bad. The screen held up well compared to how many times I dropped it 😂 and I was pretty satisfied with the camera. Its nothing compared to newer models, though (in my opinion) its an affordable price

  • @primedirective00
    @primedirective00 11 лет назад +9

    The white is unfortunately NOT the same matte/rubber material as the black version. The sharp edges of the ceramic buttons makes them feel out of place with the rest of the build materials. Also the phone sitting flat will rock slightly on the camera sensor. Other than that this phone is fantastic. Battery life is actually really good and definitely will be better with rooted 4.4 custom Roms when they start becoming available. The N5 is not perfect. However it is practical especially if you upgrade your device once a year and want to do so more affordably.

      Dave Kesslerput a good reserve buffer for your first run at the plan. Then get a Google voice number and set this app up.
      play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talkatone.android
      There's some complaints about call quality during a couple of calls, but overall pretty solid and will give you free incoming /outgoing calls. Just give out your gv only. This should hold us over until hangout rolls out with voip integration... Hopefully before Google kills all 3rd party app support for gv and talkatone and grooveip apps alike stops working.
      You can also port your Vzw number over to your gv and request a new number on your Vzw account while it's suspended... But there's a certain way to do it so you won't kill your unlimited.

      "The logo on the center of the back"
      All phones have some sort of logo located on the back...?
      "The camera is on the same side too"
      Where else would they put the camera?
      "Can update to the latest OS"
      Are you serious? EVERY phone can update to the latest version of Android/iOS using software in the phone.

      Just got mine on Thursday. Amazing phone. Speakers aren't as bad as everyone says. Camera is meant to be a lot better in the 4.4.1 update and the build quality is pretty premium.

      How do you feel about not having a removable battery and no micro sd card? I'm drawn to the Nexus 5 for a reason I can't pin down. But I might get the note 3 just for the big screen, micro sd card and removable battery. Any opinions?

      32gb is more than enough as all my photos are on my dropbox. I had a Note 2 and the smaller screen is actually alot easier to use. The non removable battery thing is a let down when the battery can barely last you a day. You can buy a battery pack however. My friend brings a battery pack with him and he thinks it's amazing.

      Ah. Thanks for the info. The Note 3 is a beast, but it feels so executive to me. Like a PDA or blackberry. Maybe the trick is using dropbox for most of my needs. Thanks.

      Nexus 5 is half the price too. You can buy a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 5 for the price of a Note 3 :)
