    Nexus 5 is the best phone for price, however, battery dies quicker than any other phones I've used. I had to return it for this reason. Hope the future Nexus phone takes care of the battery issue.

    I was a little reluctant getting a phone with no removable battery, mediocre camera and low sound quality; however, the app store fixed my issues with a download. I am very happy with this phone and glad I made the purchase for the price. I would recommend this phone to anyone. Charging the phone takes 20-30 minutes when on red. You can't beat that. Camera: Download FX camera it makes the picture quality much better with more options. Sms: Handcent sms( just released an update so that it is compatible with the Nexus 5# Sound: download volume booster, bass volume, bass booster #any of the three will work Notification: download Notification toggle This phone is very customizable and the 16 is more than enough room. I came from the Samsung Galaxy SIII and this phone doesn't make me miss my previous phone at all. BUY BUY BUY

    Best Android to date. Good design and smooth OS. Camera leaves much to be desired but software updates can fix. This is the only Android I'd recommend over an iPhone.

    Absolutely no negativity! Gives me way more info than what I expect out of a phone. By the way, its a phone! Built in gigs of ram, no need for extra sd card. Camera is plenty good. Google sys is very powerful. Computer inside the phone is FAST!!!! Again, its a phone. They didn't lose track of the fact that its a phone. Doesn't drop calls at all! Still learning new stuff , so enjoy!

    Very fast and touch response is excellent. Best of all there is no usual sprint bloatware on it.

    Very fragile but great features

    The LG Nexus 5 is one of the few Sprint phones that comes unlocked and has a GSM radio, so this leaves the purchaser's options regarding service providers. Otherwise, it has excellent functionality, featuring stock Android with regular updates. However, note that the screen is prone to crack upon the slightest impact, so consider a protection plan covering accidental damage with a purchase

    I love this phone. I live by my phone and text a lot. Calls are probably the least of what I do on my phone and this is quick and looks great.

    ahbrian77 Mar 26, 2014 I bought nexus 5, about 50 days ago from google play store online. Three days later, I accidentally dropped the phone from only two feet high on flat plastic tile (it fell off fron my y-sherts poket when I pick up somting) but the screen glass shattered. I called google to explain them, the google representative transfer phone to LG company. They charged $170 to replace the screen which is half of new phone price. I received the phone two weeks later. The phone is not receiving signal from T-mobile. if I am lucky, sometimes received one or two bar of low signal but that was E or H signal which is very slow, not even 3G, 4G nor LTE. I did not get any signals indoor at all. I even changed new SIM card from t-mobile but it didn't help. I called LG service again to explain, they told me to return the phone again to their service center with provided return label which was not overnight service it was Fedex ground service. I have to wait another two weeks to received my cellphone back. Two weeks later I received phone back from LG but it was same condition. I seems they did not even looked at it. it did not received any strong or fast signal from t-mobile. I called LG again, they told me same thing like two weeks ago. "Send it back to LG". I bought nexus5 I used it for three days, I could not used my phone for more than a month now. LG seems not care, they will send me another ground shipping label to send it back, and I have to.wait 48hours to receive that return label from FedEx. I have to wait another two weeks. I will never buy LG product again. it broke very easily and their service is very bad. One more, even if evrythig fine, you can not see the screen horizentally while you are wearing sunglases. You can see only black screen untill you turn it to vertical position!!!
