Nexus 5 Unboxing

2013-11-01
what's up everyone John renter from TechnoBuffalo here with an unboxing of the latest flagship from Google this is the Nexus 5 made by LG the Nexus devices are probably some of my favorite of the year so really excited to see what a Snapdragon 800 a cordis 1080p screen looks like an unadulterated unaltered Android let's take a first look so here is the box for the Nexus 5 it's relatively small and it kind of makes a 5 on the screen so not much branding on it got Google LG on the side and that is about it this is sent to us from the folks at Google they sent us a 32 gigabyte black model is also a 16 gigabyte versions both available in white or black at 349 or 399 so Google branding oh god there's a seal but Google opened that perhaps to put a SIM card in here this is a unique phone it will work with LTE on spread on AT&T or t-mobile but also with Sprint's on no support for Verizon folks here so sorry to say that here is the phone when it's looking very nice and really thin to hold the hand pushed off the side for just a quick second even though I just want to hold it see it also we are going to have in the box of course will run through all the specs I've got anything in here we got nothing in there that's just some filler inside of here we've got sim removal tools for removing sins looks like it's just a little piece of metal Nexus 5 get started how to work it all that kind of business we like to figure that out on our own safety and warranty don't eat the phone and we've got a wall work and a micro USB charging cable that is about it let's bring in the reason we are all here here's the latest flagship phone from Google I love my Nexus devices I will peel this off I'll run through all the specs boom satisfying whooshing noise this phone feels really nice in the hand very substantial I'll try and power it on and we could talk about everything while we're doing it to power button lives in the upper right hand corner foods got some juice what's going to turn on is a four point nine five inch screen up from the 4.7 on the nexus 4 with a full 1080 resolution meaning 1920 by 10 with a PPI of 445 it's an IPS screen big deal here is that from the hardware is Android 4.4 also called KitKat is here at launch being powered by a 2.3 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip which is crazy fast we think about how quick the galaxy s4 and HTC One we're those using Snapdragon 600 this thing should be just an absolute beast so you got this guy all powered on it's got 2 gigs of RAM no external storage also make sure you get either 16 or 32 is going to support all the storage that you need the back it's got a camera there that is an 8 megapixel sensor with a stabilization which is kind of nice to have the optical stabilization in case you've got a shaky hand and of course 1080p video 1.3 megapixel shooter living right there on the front 802 11 ABG and in a scene that's 2.4 and 5 gigahertz bands Bluetooth 4.0 powering this guy keeping it running is not the largest battery 2300 milliamp hours does have NFC here also sports wireless charging the Qi standard it weighs 130 grams let's take a quick look here at the phone so immediately you'll notice and things are different got that translucent menu bar there at the bottom you don't have it sorted out lying across it hangouts is now integrated with SMS you don't like that you can download a third-party SMS app which I will be doing and setting that as your default further integration with contacts I don't have a name here you can now search for places and stuff inside of contacts so pizza place or restaurant so that's kind of a nice touch there as well a quick tour of the device we got volume rocker up and down on the left hand side on the right there's your sim tray and your power and lock button on the bottom we've got stereo speakers which are we are facing obviously there's your charge and sync port on the top 3.5 milimeter headset jack and mic 2300 milliamp hour battery here is non-removable the back is sort of a soft touch feel but it feels really really nice doesn't look to be much of a fingerprint magnet like some other soft touch backs and I have a normal person hands not relatively dirty I guess we're clean but just normal nothing is smearing them on here you can now like you could on the Moto X and the Droid phones just say okay Google now and they'll do so we have to pair it to your voice in order to get it to do that I'll run into settings and see what we've got here a new animation when you go into your app tray as well sort of a subtle approach I guess will scroll around here settings has a new icon rest the stuff here looks pretty similar feels very quick as you'd expect from a snapdragon 800 with native android out here there's nothing to sort of slow it down at all we'll go to about phone there it is Android 4.4 what the big deal has been about little KitKat animation dance around for you then let's you know you are running Android 4.4 so I'm very excited to test this phone out and I bring a real quick comparison with the outgoing Nexus 4 option the screen off you can see what both of them look like 4.7 4.95 it look like you know the Nexus 4 kind of grew up a little bit now they both have a very similar feel to it but the Nexus 5 feels incredible don't have that glass back anymore which is known to scratch or crack so you can see this family tree here four to five also available from Google they sent us is a case open this guy up real fast and see what it looks like and see if you want to pick one up looks to be pretty substantial Google's getting to the accessory business as well they also have a Qi charger for the Nexus 5 but if you have any you know wireless charger it will work with it so this is just pretty standard plastic on the phone just goes right into it and now your black phone becomes kind of a red phone a little bit chunky but it does have a lip on top so when you put a flat on a table it's not going to scratch your screen you can still see the Nexus logo there on the back as well so if you want to you can pick up a case I think you guys want to see about the Nexus 5 please let us
