what's going on everyone is your average consumer and today I've got a review for you guys of the bright-red Nexus 5 now if you're on the market for an Android phone it doesn't get more Android than this so let's not waste any time let's get right into it alright guys here we have the bright-red Nexus 5 the Nexus 5 is the latest phone by Google and they went with LG again for this iteration as they did with the Nexus 4 there are currently three variants of this phone and they come in black white and now bright red which to me kind of feels like a mix between red and orange and let me tell you it stands out quite a bit when you're outside now let's take a look around the device itself we've got a four point nine inch 1080p display but let's just call it five and it's built with Gorilla Glass 3 to the left you'll find your volume rocker which happens to look like one button and on the right we have the power button as well as the SIM card tray on the top of the phone you'll find a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and a mic for noise cancelling that'll help you sound clearer when using the phone on the bottom you have what looks like two speaker grilles but only the left grille is an actual speaker and the right has your microphone between the two is a microUSB port to get it all charged also on the bottom is an LED notification light that is pretty much invisible to the naked eye unless you get a notification and that light pulses every now and then it has a soft touch back due to the matte finish and it's actually quite comfortable to hold in the hand a word of caution though I did notice the matte finish wear a little bit with my Nexus and it leaves behind a bit of a shiny look in the spots where that happens this will probably only truly impact those who keep their phones under a microscope but being one of those people I thought you guys should know a 5-inch phone is pretty large too a lot of people but I had no trouble handling the phone and reaching it's buttons and I happen to have medium sized hands watching movies and playing games are a pleasure on this device as the screen is much better than it was with the Nexus 4 although there is a drawback that hinders the experience and that's the speaker the speaker is very easy to block depending on how you hold the device and can lead to some completely muffled audio having to shift the way you hold device can be a bit frustrating when this happens now that we've taken a look around the phone let's talk a bit about what's inside the Nexus 5 is packing a 2.3 gigahertz Snapdragon 800 processor which is one of the best processors available right now and it helps the phone to be very quick and snappy it also has 2 gigabytes of RAM that will keep the phone from slowing down when using multiple apps and even power-hungry apps and games on the back we've got an 8 megapixel camera as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera up front the Nexus 5 also has LTE capabilities which was disappointingly absent from the Nexus 4 this phone has very solid specs that helps it to perform to the standards we'd expect from any smart phone today but what makes this phone so special is that it has the 350 dollar price tag and really can't find that kind of value anywhere else another spec this phone is toting is a 2,300 milliamp battery now in the world of Android phones this isn't too impressive but I've gotten pretty decent battery life from it but you can surely expect to charge this thing every night also if you're a power user or someone who's constantly on their phone you should expect to charge this at the end of a regular work or school day a lovely thing I noticed is that this phone charges very quickly that may be due to the smaller battery size but I find that an hour and change of charging or so get me to a full battery most times that is something I definitely don't mind the Nexus 5 also supports the wireless charging which is also a very nice bonus onto that 8 megapixel camera Nexus devices aren't really known for their camera quality or software but I find that the Nexus 5 performed pretty decently I haven't been able to pull off any amazing shots with it but the shots that I did get were definitely on par with what I would expect from a phone at this price so instagramers have no fear you're in capable hands with the Nexus 5 I've never been too crazy about the camera software the Nexus devices come with but I think that the initial interface is easy enough for anyone to get accustomed to and here's some footage of what you can expect from 1080p HD recording in alright guys so here's the kind of footage you can expect from the HD record on the Nexus 5 this is also the same kind of sound collar you'll get as I'm talking directly to the phone so this is the audio quality and video quality you can expect and if video calls are a big thing for you this is where the Nexus 5 may disappoint the 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera isn't high quality at all it's kind of just there to get the job done and I gotta say it's a bit disappointing unless you're under the optimal lighting situation now let's talk a bit about software as I mentioned before the Nexus 5 is packin specs that allowed to run on par with most high-end smartphones today combined with the latest Android you can expect to have a smooth experience when using this phone one of the new features you'll find is the new launcher most people know it as the Google experience launcher and it has some changes to the homescreen and AB section icons are now larger and a long press on an open area of the homescreen will bring up wallpapers widgets and setting options another notable change is having Google now to the left of your main home screen with a quick swipe you're able to access all the information Google now thinks is important to you but one of my favorite features is being able to summon Google search by simply calling out ok Google what time is in Japan what's great is you aren't limited to just searches you can call out to open apps set reminders call someone and much more other than that is the same vanilla Android we've all come to love typical smartphone activities like web browsing using various apps from the Play Store texting and watching videos are all very fluid experiences and that's really driven by all the things the Nexus 5 has under its belt if you're looking for the smoothest and cleanest Android phone out this is the right choice whether you're on a budget or not this phone feels high-end with very few sacrifices it definitely is the best value out there when looking for Android devices with the promise of always getting the latest updates as soon as they come out you can feel safe that this phone will be on the edge of what Android has to offer for a long time and that about wraps up my review of the Nexus 5 do you guys plan on picking it up if so which colour are you looking at and if you have it already
