long neck and she loved
from people you trust
this he's tweaked meanwhile time to talk about something that has been hotly
awaited
actually a Google surprised us all by shipping early on Friday
the how r cheese Thursday Halloween Day Google put the Nexus 5
on sale their successor the very popular nexus
4 this is a line a phone starting with the Nexus One which is
in my opinion the best one of the best interest for the ever had love my Nexus
One
they're made by Google were made for Google by companies in this case
LG for the Nexus 4 and five but Google
doesn't allow any junk from the manufacturer
and because they're sold at the Google Play Store
there's no carrier craft on either is a pure Google Experience
s the original Nexus One was designed to bypass the carriers Google learned their
lesson they realize they do need the carriers
so the newest Nexus the Nexus 5 is available
on everybody but Verizon you can buy it from Sprint you can buy from T Mobile
and AT&T
I'm others from the Play Store here's the amazing thing
on the Nexus 5 the price so this is a 32 gig
Nexus 5 are they also sell 16 gigs unlocked
unsubsidized 16 gig Nexus 5
is three hundred fifty dollars for four hundred dollars you can get the
32 gig now you do make some sacrifices no SD card just like the Nexus 4
and no removable battery these there's no serviceable parts inside
and the that's unfortunate that's where the things I like about Android phones
but not this one
I they've replaced the glass back to have the early on Nexus 4
this was kinda interestingly stylish
it had a glass back and front which also made a very fragile
but kinda cool looking I I have to be honest
I when I reviewed the Nexus 4 I gave it to do not buy because I thought the
screen quality was low it wasn't as good as many of the phones on the market the
top of the line Android phones
and i also I confess didn't fully
appreciate the value of having a pure Google Experience phone
I have learned my lesson and a year later I had to say
there's a lot a good in the Nexus 5 first of all it's the first phone have
Android 4.4 Kit Kat no other phones yet many will
kick it has some interesting new features this is the new Google home
screen i've
customize it a little bit but this is the thing that's most important wanna
the page is the home screen is now Google now
cool now is sewn into all love this
also a new photo app this a little confusing frankly there's still the
gallery app
but they also now have a Photos app on the Nexus 5
the release is an interface to the Google+ photos including their
new auto awesome the new video editing there's a lot in new photo features
in the in their Google+ that I really like
I have to say the quality the camera is surprisingly good
a look at that picture the sidewalk its read no I was a mistake obviously
I it's really rich I I think there's an HDR plus mother does a
a great job this is an 8-megapixel shooter
still maybe not as good as the iPhone but I have to say Google's really making
some real progress
in the software side to this particularly if you're Google+ user
I i think you're gonna really enjoy the quality of the camera on this
that's a first for a Nexus from frankly they've always been a little second-rate
the cameras
it's also a much improved screen over the Nexus 4 it's now full 1080 P five
inch screen
and I felt like it was a little washed out I think my eyes are ruined
by all the Super AMOLED screens I've been looking at I
its the thing that really works well as if you have to use is in bright sunlight
I've never seen a from work so well it's about this bright
in bright sunlight it is is good in bright sunlight as it is in the dark
there's a lot to be said for that abortion on have to use the Google
launcher like every
Android phone you can use your favorite launcher I'm I'm just showing you the
original Google on church
just so you can see what it looks like I'm
at you know it's an impressive phone and way I for 350 bucks
that you gotta say that's that's probably the best deal
on Android phone when you buy Nexus you're also buying the guarantee that
Google will update these phones for so when the next generation Android comes
out
it's certain that you will get it before anybody else does because it's a pure
Google Experience
a course you have full access to the Google Play Store you get the latest
version in the Play Store it's a little bit changed
I you'll get now the the menus over here on the left
you get that Photos app I it's a very impressive for a couple of us have
already gone our Nexus 5 Chad loves his he says the best phone
he's ever used yeltsin IPS LCD screen
looks pretty good even an angle if feels I'll little bit low contrast maybe a
little washed out over break to me
I in fact one there is a black black wallpaper and that is to reduce that
feeling I've kinda over bright but maybe that's because I was spoiled
by other other phones and other screens
up compared to the Moto X now I gotta say in my opinion the Moto X is still
the best Android phone out there it's very close to appear Google Experience
but Motorola Google company has added features that are still not on the Nexus
5 things like
the Motorola cyst which know when you're in a meeting or on driving a car or
sleeping automatically silence the phone
so that you don't have to worry about getting woken up in the middle of the
night that automatically send that text messages if you want lawyer in meetings
those kinds of things are really nice features the shake to open
but this does have one thing that the Moto X as when the phones unlock you can
say okay Google
and the phone or respond and Chris just did it added
and I think that's really a nice feature the hands-free no button to push
I the phone has to be unlocked for to do that is also lacks one feature that
makes that really great on the
Moto X which is the Skip feature that means when you're in a trusted Bluetooth
area
or you put runners especially formulated NFC chip a chip
it'll automatically unlock itself the still have to unlock this
manually warm not like you're from which I I don't recommend
another a nice feature that I expect to be in more and more Motorola phones in
time
is the tap to pay it's got NFC in the back you can set it up with a variety of
applications course Google hopes to use Google Wallet
it comes as Google Wallet and if you go to a store that has the two have to pay
feature
don't know where those would be but one hopes more were appear
you can literally just tapped this I think mcdonald's as a few places like
this you can tap it your phone in
automatically pay with your Google Wallet other applications
so a beautifully designed phone I think Google was smart replace the plastic
with this velvety soft touch
a place a glass with velvety soft touch
plastic much improved camera much approve camera software
thus photos for a sphere is bigger better the HTR plus is excellent
when it ties into Google+ in their camera capabilities
I think you get a pretty darn good phone great video wonderful video capabilities
the screen gorgeous thank you for 1080 P that's a very high
resolution Champlain with a little bit she said she felt like it was all soft
focus
I'm not sure you the price in the same thing I am which is just it
feels a little washed out yes it must be what it is probably should
you know play with it beforehand so the pros hate the price is the easily the
number one pro
it is a great screen it is a pure Google Experience you don't keep your this
including
the first phone to run Android 4.4 Kit Kat
on the consignee but no removable battery
no SD card either 16 or 32 gigs thats
all you get I and I do feel like the screen maybe
lacks little bit compared to the Super AMOLED screens from Samsung
even the HTC One which is also an LCD screen I think what's better than this
at a very similar screen resolution
nevertheless this is a definite by if you're a nexus type
this is gonna make you very very happy probably the best from
from Google's ever the Nexus 5 the first
kit kat bar in a telephone and that's my review
over the Nexus 5 I I liked it a lot
in a and just think that there are other phones look at the HTC One
the Moto X was the good news is en route from folks have
huge excellent choices nowadays and this is just one more grateful
