In my hands was visited by many phones, but the Nexus 5 is definitely a medal for the most austere package. Inside the pretty boxes, in addition to the smartphone customer will find a few pieces of paper, “paper clip” to extract the SIM-card, charger, USB-cable … that’s all. On the other hand, the lack of headphones included with the phone is hardly a great disadvantage, since all complete headphones still sound terrible.
appearance and design
All modern smartphones, in principle, to look the same: a large screen in front, the control buttons on the sides, rear camera … In this sense, the Nexus 5 does not stand out among his own kind. However, due to a successful combination of straight and curved lines designers Google and LG have managed to create a low-key, but very harmonious appearance. Personally, I look completely black Nexus 5 like it more than the exterior Samsung Galaxy S4 with its lurid silver elements “under the metal.” As SGS4, Nexus 5 is the minimum thickness of the frame around the screen and looks so small for its diagonal.
back cover of the soft-touch plastic looks good and feels good in your hands, but perfectly collects fingerprints (though they go by themselves while wearing the device in your pocket). Most of all I like the fact that the logo LG, first, is located on the rear panel, and secondly – does not differ from it in color.
Google states that the volume buttons and the power Nexus 5 are made of ceramic. Perhaps this is the case, I do not particularly have noticed – the buttons as buttons.
Judging by numbers in Tables characteristics, Nexus 5 should be thicker than the Galaxy S4, but actually aids have the same thickness.
way, pay attention to how matte plastic nicer to look at than the glossy.
In general, I liked how the Nexus 5 is felt in the hand, it does not seem too big and at the same time due to the “uhvatistoy” texture plastic tries not to slip out of his hands. In other words, a nice machine.
Screen
Nexus 4 was a good smartphone, but one of his biggest weaknesses was a screen: it was quite faint and also had a relatively poor viewing angles. 5 In the Nexus screen is noticeably better: white color is no longer inverted and does not yellow when viewed at an angle, while the black level still leaves much to be desired.

In fact, of course, to compare any LCD screen with AMOLED is not quite correct, as the AMOLED black pixels are simply not lit. But the Nexus 5 has a high black level, even when compared with the iPhone 5C.

But
maximum brightness the Nexus 5 is much higher than that Galaxy S4:
Yes, Galaxy S4 did not know how to display a purely white
Otherwise
color, oddly enough, is close to Galaxy S4 in the “movie”: pleasant soothing colors. Is that less heat Nexus image and displays a pure blue.
Performance
I have not yet had time to get rid of all our usual set of tests, but in AnTuTu and Geekbench 3 new Nexus shows good results.
In everyday life
Nexus 5 predictably fast. This has merit as a powerful “hardware”, and Android 4.4, especially the new shell Google Experience Launcher.
any different
In
Nexus 5 I hate to call the speaker was stunned – it feels like it torn out of the penny Chinese toys. I put the phone to your favorite tune, and immediately, I’m sorry, ohrenel of what it has turned to mush.
sound in the headphones (for listening to the used hybrid “gag» T-PEOS H-100 and inexpensive “Valve» MEElectronics A151), in principle, is not bad, but the phone makes a noticeable emphasis on the high frequencies to the same volume reserve is not is very large.
understood that the sheath can be replaced, but the number of animations in new shell Google Experience exceed reasonable limits. During the installation process, and raspihivaniya in folders frequently used applications me I almost became a victim of seasickness.
It is worth noting that the American model (with an index of LG D820) does not support the Russian ranges LTE (Band 7 and 20). They are supported by a global model (LG D821).
The bottom
At first glance Nexus 5 makes a very good impression. I have not had time to evaluate the battery life and the quality of the camera, but in general I like the smartphone. A full review will be published next week.
