It's that time of the year again, where Google releases a new Nexus handset for those wanting a cheap yet powerful device running stock Android. 2013's Nexus is the Nexus 5, aptly named as it's both the fifth Nexus device and it packs a five-inch display...
Unbeatable value for money thanks to a low price point. Fantastic display complements a decent design and powerful, highend internals. Stock Android is a blessing, especially with KitKat's refinements.
Battery life isn't this phone's strong suit. Camera can be wildly inconsistent and remains a step behind the competition, despite improvements.
Once again, Google has managed to deliver an astonishing package for an unbelievable price tag. The Snapdragon 800 SoC, five-inch 1080p IPS display, LTE connectivity and minimalist yet functional design would all be well suited to a handset nearly twice t...
