LG - Nexus 5 with 16GB Memory Cell Phone - Black (Sprint)

This is my 3rd Android phone and the quality of the design, construction, and overall user experience is so much better. Hardware - I like the screen size, quality and brightness. I suspect the phone could be too big for one-handed operations for people with small hands, but otherwise it is thin and light and easy to grip. Calls and data - so far, call quality is quite good. Unfortunately I live in a city without Sprint LTE so I don't get the fastest, highest quality data service. When I visited a city with LTE, the phone data feels very fast. Ex) navigated Boston using Google Maps on foot and transit and had no glitches. OS and software - The newest Android OS really does feel much smoother and intuitive. The Google Now service (if you use Gmail) is handy, anticipating directions, reminders and other info you need without you asking. Voice recognition for search is pretty good and I expect will get better as I use it more. Camera - if you want your phone to also be your only high-quality camera, then this isn't the best choice (though I don't know what phone would be...). However, photos are otherwise good quality for sharing over social media and the built-in HDR+ and editing features are helpful for everyday use.

I really like the size of this phone. It's feel comfortable in my hand and I'm able to use it one-handed. The picture quality and size of the screen is great. So it's comfortable watching videos, or looking over photos and videos you have taken. Speaking of which, this phone has really great photo and video capture capability. With this phone, you truly don't need a separate point-and-shoot camera anymore. Another thing I like about his phone is it is plain Android as Google intended. I have used other interfaces (such as Samsung TouchWiz and Motorola Blur) and I always come back to the simplicity of Google's interface. My only real complaint is that 16GB has turned out to not be enough storage and there isn't a microSD slot for expansion. I have always have a had phone with a microSD slot before this one and I thought I wouldn't need it. But I've learned my lesson. It's microSD slot or bust the next time.

This is so much better than my old Samsung phone. The battery life on the Galaxy S 2 was terrible. The Nexus 5 battery lasts all day and into the night. The Nexus 5 was tested and is truly unlocked. Despite being sold as a Sprint phone it worked fine with a AT&T card. It has many radios built in and permits access to them. I plan to use it overseas when traveling. I can't say enough about how good the speaker phone is. The sound quality is fantastic! The sales person at Best Buy was outstanding. We experimented with the phone and made sure it was what I wanted. He loaded some apps that have been very useful. I use the voice thing frequently. It works great. I am very pleased with this device.

The Nexus 5 is the best kept secret in the Android line. Full of performance with no added bloatware. If you want a no frills high quality phone this is it. CyanogenMod 11 ROM runs perfect on this device.

The best phone value at the time of purchase. Paid full unsubsidized price in order to get a free year of service on the student program. Paying $37.50 a month to pay it off in a year and also paying $7.50 for taxes on the free plan. So, for a total $45 a month for the phone and service. Great deal. After the free year of service I can take this phone to almost any carrier (except Verizon) since it is carrier unlocked. Can't do this with any other Sprint phone. Lots of support on the XDA forums. It's a great phone since it's not loaded up with the normal carrier bloatware. It's fast and responsive. The battery will last about a day and a half average. The only thing I don't like is the material the back if made of. It's kind of grippy so it's a little difficult to get in and out of my pocket. The HTC One X was much easier to slip in and out.

Everything works great..the os is very efficient and fast..camera is good..battery life is good..I liked the galaxy, but this is much better.

Simply the best phone on the market at this price point! I have yet to find a phone for 350 new that delivers the features and build quality of the NEXUS 5! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!

This phone is amazing. Great 5 inch display, superb camera, amazing Android experience the way Google intended. Sure some of the features of other phones are nice, but the snappy performance and clean look make up for it. The only Heel is the network. They are doing work, but right now the now network is nearly unusable. I would recommend to everyone in the market for a new android device, just maybe not on Sprint.
