Nexus 5 is an amazing phone, despit the 4 was pretty awesome for it's time. This is the second model i've owned and can tell you that Google knows how to make their products. Apart from every software update, the battery life sucks, and the stock camera software as well... This phone overall has the speed and effectiveness needed to do what you have to do like use gps, search and using memory consuming apps. Since Google products work well with future android updates (up to 2 years/major versions), this phone will last you quite some time. Just remember: learn battery saving tricks (search online) & download alternate camera apps

These phones are great for the price, and before September I would have rated them at least 4 stars, but I've recently found out the hard way that they have 2 nagging latent hardware failures that are fairly well documented if you search for them: 1) WiFi dies and can no longer be turned on 2) Power button dies and forces the phone into constant reboots Both of these are cause by hardware failures and will require you to send the phone back to LG and pay at least $75 for the repairs. I own 4 Nexus 5s. Two of them have had the WiFi fail at just about the 2 year mark. The first replacement I got from LG was either not repaired properly, or also had the WiFi die on initial setup. The second replacement I got from LG worked for 2 weeks before the power button died. I haven't decided if I'm going to fix the second Nexus 5 with the WiFi failure, since I bought that one used off eBay in October and I'm not sure it's worth $75 to repair a $150 phone. So, out of 5 phones I've seen 2 WiFi failures and 1 power button failure. I'm starting to think they weren't built to last much past 2 years.Read full review

For the price I got this, it was a steal. $175 new and the hardware is still competitive 2 years after it came out. Running pure Android was what drove me to purchase, as it took only a few updates and I was running Marshmallow. Phone is rugged and well built. Since it has rubbery sides and back, an additional case is not really needed. Everything works well and it runs Marshmallow real fast. I heard battery life on this phone is greatly increased with Marshmallow, and that's a good thing, because that's my only complaint. I'm running into the battery saver at the end of most days, with moderate use. I start 100% at 6am and am running about 8% by about 10:30. So, I'm getting a full day, but just barely. If I stream music or use any GPS then I'm looking for a charger before the day is out. I've remedied this by adding a charger to my car and buying a few wireless charging pucks (that I got off ebay for like $5 each) to make charging more convenient. For the price, I'll deal with the battery life. The only think I seem to miss is the fingerprint sensor. I've enjoyed this on the iPhone and would love it on the Nexus. The 2 things that are stopping me from getting the Nexus 5X are the price and the fact that it's a bigger phone, and I want my phone to fit easily in my front pocket!Read full review

I used a thousand dollars Samsung and iPhones for many years. After 11 months, my ($1000) Samsung Note 4 stop paring with my car blue tooth. I called AT&T tech support. I reset my Samung Note 4 to the manufacture factoy setting. The Samsung note 4 randomly disconnected away from the car's blue tooth consistly for over 2 months. I called AT&T again for the same problem and requested for the replacement phone. AT&T refused my request because it over 12 months. This is the same problem that I have. AT&T record showed that I repoted the phone problem at 11 month. This is the 13 months and it no longer AT&T problem handle. What good is that when I am holding a $1000 phone and could not do the basic and essitial function. I gave the ($150) LG Nexus 5 a try out. The LG Nexus 5 passed the test. I liked the back cover texture. The back cover consists of non-slip material. First day after use the phone, I don't like the Hang-Out text function that came with the phone software. I download the free App to text. I don't think the Nexus 5 has the swip a finger to the right to make a phone call or swipe to the left to text when you at the phone history list. I still learning to master the phone. I still searching information from google to take advance of the app and phone function. In compare to other expensive phones, the LG Nexus 5 is a very bargain in value.Read full review

I find the Nexus 5 to be a solid smartphone, quite capable of handling everything I've thrown at it, so far. Except for the battery, that is. If I'm using my phone heavily (watching videos or movies, or playing games), then the battery can drain from 100% to 25% in less than three hours. This kind of sucks, because when I'm using my phone at dialysis treatment, I need a solid four hours of entertainment from the device, without being able to plut in a charger to keep going. My Nexus 5 can't handle that with its original battery, and I am not capable of swapping out the original battery for a larger-capacity one. That requires skills and tools I lack, as well as excellent vision, which I also lack. Battery life aside, though, I really like my Nexus 5! I keep it in a wallet case, and it feels good in there, not too heavy in my pocket and secure in my hand. The screen looks sharp and clear, and the processor seems quite fast enough for my needs. The more apps I put on it, though, the slower the phone thinks, so I must be careful of what I install, and weigh the slight slow-downs to see if the app is worth keeping.Read full review
