LG Google Nexus 5 - Stable and fast

review by zymax

Hardware.
The Nexus 5 lays very good in my hand and is very thin. The buttons are positioned on the usual places. It is quite fragile tho since I dropped it once and a piece of my screen broke off.

Software
The Nexus 5 ROM is amazing, it's stock android so no stupid bloatware, ....
In my opinion they should've deleted some of the pre-installed google apps too but it's still a google device.
The software works good and smooth. You also get the updates to the latest android version wich is very nice.

Overall
Overall, it's a stable and fast smartphone. I've been using it for a 2 months and I enjoy it really well. Best buy this year (except for my pc and laptop then)

ProsCons
Price, Display, Stock ROMFragile, Battery, Screen On time, Heath

The only phone I have ever and will probably ever call perfect

review by thready

I am writing this on my phone for the ultimate experience and while reviewing it. I love this phone. And I even hate Google so this phone needs to be perfect for me to be willing to use it. Well, it is perfect... if you set it up right.

pros: very responsive, lots of photo filters, Google Play store is almost as good as Apple app store.
cons: you will want to buy a case and screen protector. For your sanity, disable Google apps and set your gmail account to never send you notifications. I used my gmail account to sign into a movie forum and I posted a small message about a movie and later that day I received about 20 notifications and they were just people who replied to me saying CAN'T WAIT on an Avatar 2 article. Um, no. I don't need to hear beeps when driving to tell me some guy thumbed up my little movie comment. I had to force close some apps like gmail and such from my phone and set my Google+ account to never send me any notifications. Since I use Outlook, I don't mind closing gmail.

I got mine off contract but with a payment plan with T mobile. I have no contract and I pay $20 a month for 20 months and any time I want I can just pay it off. It's like a contract, but with no penalty so it's not a contract. They cut corners with the build quality but I don't know treat it like a hockey puck and I have a hard case with a soft inner shell. Also, screen protectors are cheap so I use one.

ProsCons
fast, small, affordablebuild quality, you should force google apps to turn off
