Why is the Google Nexus 5 as the best smartphone of its time – NewsYou

Now, when since the beginning of sales of the Google Nexus 5 it’s been three years, it is possible to summarize and identify the main reasons which world experts and buyers called this smartphone the best product of its time. Edition ProstoTECH conducted its own investigation and came to the conclusion that the success of the Nexus 5 was not accidental, as Google had managed to reunite in a single product from three important elements.

In fact, there are several more, however, in this case we will focus only on the key, which played a really big role in the life of the Nexus 5. Thanks to the two of these causes, thousands of buyers from all over the world still buy this unit, which is already discontinued, but the stores sell it from its own stock.

Reason 1: to be honest, the Nexus 5 was the last in the history of the Google smartphone, which belonged to the middle price segment. Then the search giant wanted to make leaders, because by performing such tasks engaged third-party manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, HTC, etc.

At the beginning of 2014 to buy the Nexus 5 can be had for $ 230. For this money, buyers got a very modern smartphone with a large screen and good performance. No current smartphone can offer the fact that managed to make a Nexus 5 at the time. Even if we translate this price tag a modern twist, then have to double because of the situation on the currency market, it turns out that at the start of sales to purchase this unit can be had for $ 450. For comparison, the cost of a top Google Pixel exceeds $ 800.

Reason 2: Before the release of the Android operating system 4.4 KitKat this whole OS was very unstable, slow down and buggy. In this from year to year buyers are convinced the flagships from Samsung, which, among other things, completed its worst then Galaxy shell called TouchWiz, which only aggravated the whole situation.

the Nexus 5 was released with pre-installed Android 4.4 KitKat, and all the updates that were released by Google, became available for installation immediately after they are released, not six months later. Thus, the “Google phone” in 2013 was much more stable and smoother even compared to the expensive flagships on Android. It was the undeniable advantage of Google.

Reason 3: the American company Google never hid the fact that all the smartphones and tablets of the Nexus line was created with an eye for advanced users who are developers. This was due to the easy obtaining root, installing custom firmware, there are special drivers, utilities, and other software solutions.

today, the community of developers Google Nexus 5 recites more than 1 million people. It’s just a crazy figure, which can’t come close no other smartphone on the market. For end customers this meant that even if the “search giant” one stop software support for the smartphone that recently happened, that professional developers will continue the work of Google. At the moment the relevant forums contain over 1 000 different custom firmware and modifications for the Nexus 5.
