Google Nexus 5: Black vs White!

2013-11-04
hey what is up guys I'm qHD here and welcome to the 600th video I've ever uploaded to YouTube and it's a quick one it's a pretty simple one too as I spend more quality time with the Nexus 5 and I'm going to be giving you guys my full review quite soon so make sure you're subscribed if you haven't already if you want to see that I was playing with a black Nexus 5 before this and a lot of people's personal Nexus 5's are now shipping and I ordered a 32 gig white Nexus 5 and that's what I'm holding now but as I have them both now in hand turns out there are a lot of physical differences between the two so it's more than just a gut decision in terms of which color you want to get when you look at black Nexus 5 or white Nexus 5 so let's go ahead and check out the differences it actually starts with the box then you'll probably see a lot of these differences when you watch people's unboxing videos of the phone if you haven't go back and watch them again people who unbox the Black Nexus 5 will show just one phone on the box while the white Nexus 5 actually has two phones on it has a side angle view of the phone on the box basically letting you know that this is in fact the white one but everything else about the contents of the box are the same no fancy color of headphones or anything now when you look at the phones themselves head on there's only one difference and it's not immediately obvious unless you've seen them compared already but the inside of the earpiece is white on the white phone and black on the black phone the front of the devices are otherwise identical and that's the only way to tell them apart I kind of like that accent it kind of spices up the design of an otherwise understated phone but I think it would have been even cooler if they had a multicolor LED notification light in there but that'll be detailed more in the full review now another thing when you look at these unboxings is you're going to notice two kinds of unboxings unboxings of the black Nexus 5 will have protected plastic on the front and the back and unboxings of the white Nexus 5 will have protective plastic on the front the back and the sides and the top and the bottom since LG wrapped up all the glossy plastic on this phone with plastic and that's the thing the black Nexus 5 is not glossy on the sides while the white Nexus 5 is it's a subtle difference at first but you might not even notice it at all while you're holding it in the hand but there is definitely a difference in material just for the band around the black versus the white phone having used both phones like say it makes a legitimate difference in build quality worth knowing about and if you're stuck choosing between black versus white consider this difference now both phones also have the same exact ceramic button material so the buttons are you know they're supposed to feel tactile and they actually do so they feel the same on both but with little things like the SIM card tray the hardened rubberized feel of the matte black Nexus 5 feel more sturdy there's also little differences in how they fingerprint obviously the black nexus is the same material on the sides and on the back but they it basically behaves exactly the same way as the Nexus 7 from 2013 the white model hides fingerprints pretty well on the back but it shows them way more on the sides because of that gloss so it's an interesting trade-off for an interesting design also having the soft touch white Nexus 5 in my pocket is so far I'm not dirtying up the phone at all or causing it to stain which is good because usually you know this can be a legitimate concern for soft touch back phones that are white that's the same reason why the Galaxy Note 3 is a different material for the black one and the white one so basically the takeaway here is that there is more than just a color difference between the black and the white Nexus 5 there's a more interesting design up for grabs in exchange for a different finishing material that may change the way you see the device people reviewing the white Nexus 5 are going to talk about that plastic band just a heads up worth sharing so you guys can see there is actually a couple of little minor other things to consider when you're picking one or the other color personally I'm going to be sticking with the black and white I think this in my opinion is a little more interesting I like the understated very simple design of the all-black Nexus 5 but I also like the Stormtrooper look a little bit more how with the white on black Nexus 5 so that's going to be checking out like I said this is just a quick video going over the black versus white differences but make sure you are subscribed to get the full review video in your sub box when that comes out very very soon so either way thank you for watching and I will talk to you guys in the very next one peace you
