Google Nexus 5

So weve updated our review with the new phone software, and thankfully things are a lot better now. The battery is improved, the camera a little more stable, and the low cost is still in place. You already know we like Android 4.4, the clever implementation and the ?299 price tag. We love the high power CPU, the quality screen; even the rubberised outer shell. You can get the LG G2 for around the same price now though, and that offers a far superior camera, better battery life and a huge slew of extra features it really depends if youre a fan of the stripped down experience. Quick verdict Were glad to put this smartphone higher up in the rankings, as its one of the cheapest out there in terms of bang for buck. Its a great phone that hits the marks well it lacks something in terms of innovation, but thats not a problem for those that want to be able to run all manner of apps and games at a decent price. It doesnt come in at the same price point as previous Nexii, but its still jolly cheap.
