That’s 0.5mm narrower, and 0.7mm thicker than, the Samsung Galaxy S4. The Nexus 5 is 69mm wide and 8.6mm thick. LG has put a lot of effort into making the Nexus 5 as narrow as possible, making it less of a handful, and it’s slim too. However, handling-wise it’s one the nicest phones in its class – beaten only by the slightly smaller HTC One. ![]() But to pedantic eyes, it’s something that shows this phone hasn’t been constructed on a limitless budget. We imagine this makes the phone easier to construct, and easier to fix. The back plate and the plastic sides of the phone are two different bits, and there’s a clear seam between them. Although the Nexus 5 does not have a removable back – there’s no battery access and no hidden memory card slot – this is not a unibody phone. The lack of any flashiness is clear in its construction, too. All navigation keys are part of the screen, so the only indicators are the deeply low-key earpiece speaker and front camera. The one issue of such a simple-looking phone is that front-on, it’s not that easy to casually tell which way around it is. It comes across as a much more confident phone than the Nexus 4, with its ‘jazz hands’ spangly finish and glass rear. Every part of the phone bar the LED flash is black (a white version is also available), and the lack of any recognisable gaudy extras beyond the over-sized camera lens housing make it quite a ‘pure’ design. Its back is lightly curved, adding to the hand-friendliness of the silky smooth finish. It doesn’t sound as impressive as the aluminium of the HTC One, but the response from the TrustedReviews team was unanimous – it feels great. The Nexus 5 is made of soft touch matt black plastic. The Google Nexus 5 is arguably much more conservative, design-wise, than the Nexus 4 it replaces. This is a deeply pragmatic phone in many respects, in that Google was clearly out to make a mobile that looks and feels great, without any of the flashy, budget-busting bits of a £600 phone like the iPhone 5S. It has none of the quirky design elements of the LG G2, which is no bad thing. ![]() You probably wouldn’t know LG make it unless you spot the little logo on the back, though. The Nexus 5 is made by LG, whereas the Nexus 7 is by Asus and the Nexus 10 by Samsung. Google likes to use different manufacturers to make it’s range of Nexus products. However, the forthcoming Android 5.0 Lollipop update should offer further improvements. ![]() However, carry on reading our original review below to find out more about what the Nexus 5 is like. Once you’ve accepted that the Nexus 5 camera is never going to be a photographic superstar, though, it’s a fair compromise.įor more on the camera updates, check out the dedicated Nexus 5 camera page of this review. Images ‘pop’ more, although some shades can look a mite oversaturated in some shots. The tone of the images has changed slightly too, with greater contrast and amped-up colours. The Nexus 5 camera is a lot more usable because it’s no longer incredibly slow and clunky. However, other elements have improved dramatically. The core photographic abilities of the Nexus 5 haven’t changed – it still has an 8-megapixel camera twinned with an f/2.5 lens. The Android 4.4.2 update tries its best to fix these complaints. At release, it was slow, had autofocus reliability issues, as well as exposure metering problems. It has tried to address some of the most common and serious issues with the phone – mainly centred around the camera. In December 2013, Google updated the Nexus 5, bumping it up to Android 4.4.2. There’s no doubt there were some serious issues with the software on the Nexus 5 when it first launched. We have created dynamic angles, crisp edges and sleek silhouettes to minimize size and integrate with new police and fire vehicle styles.SEE ALSO: Google Nexus 9 review Nexus 5 Android 4.4.2 update With today's vehicles having sleek curves instead of boxy designs it only makes sense that we make a light of the same caliber. In the beginning, the design team set up to make a light that is an elegant design just as much as it is bright. ![]() SoundOff has taken the design of this one step farther than others. It's the brightness and quality we have come to expect from SoundOff Signal. The nFORCE uses a new reflector technology called NEXUS in order to make the light brighter, more intense and is able to widen the footprint that the light puts out. New from The Public Safety Store & the wonderful folks at SoundOff Signal is the nFORCE brand of emergency vehicle lighting.
