LG Nexus 5: testimonials and reviews

In general, the smartphone should note a smart enough chipset, which allows it to function successfully. The camera that the device has is also good. If you evaluate on a five-point system, then it is close to 5. The device was originally supplied in two standard color solutions, however their circle can expand, given that now there are devices of this model already red. On the market you can find a phone version with 32 GB of internal memory.

As is known, the distinguishing feature of the Nexus range is their price. This model can be purchased for 15 thousand rubles, this is the minimum. And, of course, the highlight of the program was software called Google Android. And the latest, fresh version.

Equipment

The delivery of Nexus 5, which is described in this article, is rather modest. It includes a smartphone itself, a charger, as well as a USB cable for it and a clip, with which you can change the SIM card in the device.

Design

Design smartphone can hardly boast. The previous device of the lineup looks much more advantageous against its background. The thing is that it used glass, which surrounded the smartphone from two sides. In the Nexus 5 model, the design characteristic indicates that plastic was used in the manufacture of this device. From the top it is covered with soft touch. To the touch, he is velvety.

The case has a rectangular shape. The ends, located at the top, protrude a little. The edges of the apparatus are rounded, which allows him not to dig into the palm of his hand. The surface behind is fairly flat and level. Rounding is observed only at the edges of the faces themselves.

If we talk about color solutions, then the most advantageous option will be a red or white color. From the acquisition of a model executed in black, it is better to abstain, because it looks primitive. If you are not interested in design, but you just need a powerful filling, then you can not pay attention to the color.

Dimensions

In all three planes, the length of the smartphone is 137 mm, width - 69 mm, and thickness - 8.59 mm. With such metric data, the weight of the smartphone is 130 grams.

Comparatively small thickness together with rounded edges allows the device to lie in the hand comfortably and reliably, it does not slip in the palm of your hand. Perhaps, these characteristics can be compared with the Nexus 5 can only Galaxy S4. Although even it is not so convenient, because it belongs to glossy phones, which means it slips in the hand.

Fingerprints that quickly cover the back cover, obviously will not please users of the Nexus 5. The characteristic suggests that the model of black color fingerprints are a key drawback. Although getting rid of them on the back of the device is quite easy, but their constant accumulation can really make fans nervous.

Strength

The surface of the display was susceptible to applying an oleophobic coating, thanks to which fingerprints from the touch screen are removed quite simply. In addition, the coating is quite strong. Intentionally leaving a scratch on it is difficult.

On all faces

The finger on the display slides evenly and smoothly. What, in fact, speaks about the comfort when using it. The body of the device has an indivisible type. It is collected for glory. You will not notice any squeaks, backlashes. He also will not make a crunch if the machine is twisted.

As mentioned before, the camera module is not quite standard. It protrudes over the surface of the rear cover, but even so the operation showed that it is difficult to spoil the lens glass. At the top of the front panel is a speaker. Design Nexus 5, the characteristic of which deserves at least 3 points, does not shine with originality, but it's still practical to boast.

Since talking about dynamics, it is worth mentioning a few words about it. Beginning users of the device are faced with the fact that during a conversation the phone will have to be slightly twisted. Only in this way can you make sure that the sound is heard normally. This is again justified by a non-standard design, but this time not cameras, but dynamics. It has a fairly high volume. If we talk about quality, then in principle it is good in most cases. Influence has, perhaps, only the quality of the network, as well as the device from which the user calls the LG Nexus 5. The characteristics of the speaker demonstrate the absence of metal voices when talking with the interlocutor. The echo is also missing. But on the other end of the wire (although there is no wire, and no), the speech of the owner of the smartphone will not sound the best way. Often noted that the user Nexus 5 audibly loud, but illegible.

At the bottom of the front panel is a light indicator. In some cases, its work is not quite correct: the blinking may be interrupted or completely absent.

The proximity sensor, located next to the front camera, works stably, but at times it still allows itself freedom and gets lost. But a bad word about the light sensor and say it will not work. The level of illumination due to its work is regulated not just smoothly, but also accurately.

On the right is the power button. Some ordinary users may notice that it is located high. Here you can help with your thumb. However, otherwise there are no minuses, the button is squeezed gently.

On the opposite flank are the volume buttons. The manufacturer made a statement that the buttons are made of ceramic materials, which is very handy.

In addition to the power button on the right side is the SIM card tray. It can also be extracted using an ordinary needle, not only through the use of specialized injectors. At the bottom end you can see the input type MicroUSB, and to the right of it - a microphone. At the same time to the left of the input there is a speaker, and an inexperienced user takes the microphone for the second speaker.

The upper edge accommodates one more microphone, as well as a socket reserved for a wired headset, standard 3.5 mm. On the back cover next to the camera is an LED flash.

This is the design of the LG Nexus 5. Its characteristics indicate that the phone, in principle, quite convenient and comfortable to use, reliably lies in his hand. However, the originality to him in terms of design would clearly not prevent.

Display

Experiments on the design, as we have already found, were not put. They did not conduct them in the field of the screen. It's the Nexus 5 has a fairly common diagonal of 5 inches. This is the threshold, after which it is difficult to use the device with one hand. The threshold has not been crossed by the company, and it brings convenience to the use of the smartphone.

At the top is a frame that is 12 millimeters. On the sides the frames are 3.8 mm, and from the bottom - 16 mm. 74 percent of the area of the entire front face is reserved for the Nexus 5 screen. The characteristics identical in this respect are only Note 3, Galaxy S4, G2, and also G Pro.

At 1 inch of the screen there are 445 pixels at a resolution of 1090 by 1920 pixels. The dots on the screen are hardly distinguishable, which makes smartphone users happy. For 15 thousand rubles, these parameters become a clear advantage. Gorilla Glass, or rather the third generation of this technology, protects the screen from damage. And the technology in this is doing well.

Color rendition with a normal drop in view is quite saturated. But if we talk about corners, then it is somewhat lost. The purity of white is not at the highest level, it can not boast of Nexus 5. The characteristics of the display of black color is even worse.

The device has a capacitive touch screen. It is worth noting that he can simultaneously handle 10 touches. Sensitivity of the sensor is at a high level. Under natural light, the image does not lose color, even though the screen is blind.

In general, the smartphone market has models and is better, and worse in terms of color rendering. Our smartphone is not the main, but not the least.

Food

The battery belongs to the lithium-polymer type, it is not removable. The capacity is in the region of 2300 mAh. Watch the video in high quality (of course, if at maximum brightness) will not be more than 5 hours. In this case, you need to use headphones for audio output. Music can be continuously played for 35 hours, at a high brightness of the game will stretch for 3 hours, and with a bright backlight you can use the Internet for 6 hours.

Google Nexus 5: specifications

LG Nexus 5 is equipped with a Qualcomm chipset. This time it's Snapdragon 800. The 4 cores, which work at 2.26 GHz, provide good performance. Adreno 330 is used as the graphic accelerator.

Google Nexus 5 Features: Memory

The amount of RAM is 2 GB. The user is more than 1 GB available for personal use, usually 1.3-1.5. Depending on the version of the smartphone inside it can be either 16 GB of long-term memory, or 32 GB. Phone Nexus 5, the characteristics of the filling of which were described earlier, does not imply the installation of additional storage drives.

Conclusion

The question of the relevance of the device has not yet been extinguished. The most active users can pass by the model, since the battery at the device is not the most powerful, it will not last for long.

The main reason why people buy Nexus 5 is the characteristics. The phone is smart enough and fast, playing average demand on it "fly." But again, especially demanding users will not be able to fully enjoy the newest applications.
