Surely it will not be easy to get with the new Google terminal manufactured by LG. The key to such rapid sales is a mid-range price for a high -end features that make it a powerful terminal that offers a great user experience.

In terms of design , this is reminiscent of the previous generation , but it has changed back by plastic glass with rubber . It weighs 130 grams and measures 137.8 x 8.59 x 69.17 mm. Its power and volume buttons are ceramic and integrate well into the housing. The feeling is very good , is compact , solid, well finished and light.

CAMERA

One of the drawbacks of the Nexus 5 also was the Achilles heel of his predecessor : The rear camera is 8 MP with optical image stabilization ( has 1.3 in the front) . Although it is somewhat below the terminal as the LG G2 or Xperia Z1 has recurred distance and quality now doing very closely. It is striking that has earned at the time of collecting light and also now incorporates a HDR + enhanced mode that offers very good results fairly quickly. It also has other functions such as pan or Photo Sphere .

BATTERY

One of the negative terminal of the battery is 2300 mAh . Although it is very good energy management , could have used more capacity, and it just gives all-day use and as many as your own LG G2 have been stepping up and have risen to 3000 mAh , offering several hours of use. In any case , with normal use , the duration is 12 to 15 hours, with what is acceptable .

CONCLUSION

Beyond minor gripes , if there is something you can criticize the Nexus 5 is that no more units for sale . By design, quality and power terminal is recommended for anyone who wants to spend 400 euros on a terminal, since it offers more or less the same as many high-end competition for $ 400 less so. It is available in black and white with black front in both cases. It costs $ 349 for the 16GB version and 399 for the 32GB version .
