    Like the Nexus 5 phone, but it's super fragile. Bought the phone thinking it would save me money in the long run. There weren't cases or glass protectors available at Best Buy, so I left the store without a case. Didn't get the insurance since I had my other phone for 2.5+ years without any incidence. Getting out of the car, the phone fell out of my pocket & instantly the glass cracked. It's a bit complicated for me since I'm not so techie.It's smarter than me! I'm not liking the text messaging software this phone has. Navigating through all the screens, apps & software has been frustrating. Will be trading this in for a $100 phone & a 2-yr contract.

    This is the 2nd Nexus 5 that i have bought (one for my farther and then one for me). The phone comes with KitKat and there are several websites that show you how to unlock the boot loader and install custom roms.

    The nexus 5 is a really nice phone. Hard to beat at its price. Powerful CPU and clean Android OS deliver great experience.

    Excellent phone for the price, even better results with general use. The best part is the nexus brand, with current software and speed despite not the top of the line hardware. No kins out of the box, easy access to Google user info, Google Now is the icing on the cake with current valid info at your fingertips, without being pushy.

    Best Nexus Phone Yet

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is hands down the best Nexus phone made. My prior phone was the HTC One which is also just a beast of a phone and very hard to part with, however I always switch phones every 6 months or so and I wanted the latest Android version and the piece of mind knowing for the next 2 years or more it will get updates first. This phone is just one sexy piece of hardware to look at, the back has a nice matte finish that feels great in the hand and resembles the back of the 2013 Nexus 7. The phone is also super light but durable and is running the latest Android 4.4 Kit Kat right out of the box. When I first got the phone the battery life was not that good, but after a full charge and the phone set up the way I liked it, I had 4 hours of screen time and still 45% battery life which is great, especially when considering the screen size. I played every hardcore game I could find to throw at it and it never skipped a beat, and was never hot in the hands and throw in the fact it supports wireless charging and you have the best phone of 2013 with the LG G2 which is the bigger brother to the Nexus 5. My only knock on the phone is the speakers are not very good, especially coming from the HTC One which has the best speakers I knew I would have to compromise, but the Nexus 5 appears to be hit or miss in the sound department but a update is coming next week to fix some of these issues that I read are software related and that Google implemented them to help conserve battery so I will see. Can't go wrong with this phone at this price point, I do wish the 32GB version would have been at best buy because I would have preferred that since there is no SDcard slot on this device. The camera is more than good enough with tons of options, especially on HDR+ mode.

    Nexus 5 is one of the best android phones in the market. With such a cheap price, its hard to get with top end specs. The not so good: Sound is not that good, No external memory card storage.

    I came from a Nexus S 4g so I was three generations back. This phone is 100 times better. KitKat is smooth, the picture quality is so much better than previous nexus devices, and the battery life finally lasts me all day with no problems.

    It is very good Phone. The best thing is this phone is branded as Sprint Nexus 5 but it is unlocked, which means it can be used on Sprint as well as anywhere in the world on GSM network.
