![]() The Nexus 5 is the first smartphone to ship with Android 4.4 KitKat, the latest release of the operating system. Overall, the Nexus 5’s display is one of the best in its class. Sunlight legibility was good though the screen brightness levels could be better. The screen delivers great viewing angles, though it was a little reflective. Colours looked vivid and not oversaturated like they look on AMOLED display though blacks don’t look very deep. In our use, we found the Nexus 5’s screen to be very bright, with text and images looking crisp and sharp. The display comes with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 protection making it resistant to scratches. The Nexus 5 comes with an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and pixel density of 445 ppi. The rear features an 8-megapixel ring shaped camera lens and the LED flash, apart from LG and Nexus branding. It is a bit susceptible to smudges, though. The 3.5-mm headset jack sits at the top edge of the Nexus 5, while the Micro-USB port and speaker grill sits at the bottom edge.Īs we mentioned, the back of the Nexus 5 sports a matte soft touch finish giving it a good grip. All the keys are made of ceramic and offer decent tactile feedback. The right edge of the Nexus 5 features the Power/ Screen lock and the Micro-SIM card tray, and the left edge features the volume rocker key. A round LED notification light is placed below the display, while the sensor array and the front camera sits above it. The 4.95-inch full-HD display dominates the front of the Nexus 5, and there are no hardware buttons. The phone is available in Black and White colour variants and we got a Black one as our review unit. The Nexus 5’s edges are less curved and its corners less rounded compared to other phones, including the Nexus 4. This is also due to the phone being quite lightweight at 130 grams. Also, despite its large 4.95-inch screen, we didn’t face any issues operating it with one hand. However, when you place the phone in your hand, you’ll feel that it’s very pleasant to hold thanks to the soft touch matte finish. The phone is made of plastic and doesn’t feel very premium. ![]() The Nexus 5 sports a very understated look and there’s nothing really striking in the phone’s design that will shout for your attention. So, how does it perform in real world conditions? We put it to test and find out in our review. ![]() The pricing of the phone and the promise of priority software updates makes it an irresistible proposition. It’s also the first time that Google has launched its flagship device in the Indian market just weeks after its international launch. No prizes for guessing, we’re talking about the Nexus 5, Google’s new platform showcase device which has been manufactured by Korean electronics giant, LG. It caught everyone’s fancy from the time it was first leaked in a video, and since then, all Android enthusiasts, and especially the ones who swear by the pure stock user interface of the operating system, have been eyeing this smartphone. ![]()
