Google Nexus 5 - pick it or kick it
The internet giant google has launched its new smartphone nexus 5 manufactured by LG recently in India . Many webies* are talking about it and the phone is in everyone's gossip.
All kinds of post in favour and against the phone can be seen all over the internet, and it may confuse you to make a choice. You don't want to spend Rs 32,999 just to check whether the phone suits you or not. Tech Soul brings you the best review of the phone and helps you to make a better decision.
Coming to the specifications of the phone, the phone has a 4.95 inch 1920x1080 true HD display. The phone runs on a 2.26GHz processor and a 2GB RAM with 8MP main camera and 1.2MP on the front. Available in two storage variants - 16GB and 32GB.
You get android 4.4 KitKat straight out of the box and the best android experience ever. Coming to the price, when compared with other phones like xperia 1, htc one, galaxy S4, the price is comparitively low. 32,999 for 32 GB and 28,999 for 16GB.

Most of the people complain about its design but I personally feel that the design is acceptable, simple and not very stylish. A perfect mixture of simplicity and style.
Nexus 5 was sold out within hours on google play store after its launch in India and still it is out of the stock, so you have to wait a litle longer if you want the phone.

Another negative point about the phone is its memory. The phone come in two variants 16GB and 32 GB with no slot of microSD card. This can be the major reason to not to opt for this phone, cause we Indians love music and streaming videos. So, if you're buying this phone you need to manage your memory carefully.
Coming to the camera, it consists of very standard 8 MP camera and if you're buying a phone for clicking your awesome moments with friends and family, you should consider other smartphones as well. (If photography is your main aim, then you should go for Nokia lumia range, as they are best when it comes to phone camera.)
Another drawback of the phone is its poor battery life. The Nexus 5 has a sealed 2,300-mAh battery inside. It says the phone offers 17 hours of talk time, 8.5 hours of Wi-Fi Internet time and 7 hours of LTE Internet time. So playing high-end games on this piece, will suck all the juice from your phone and you have to plug it for recharge now and then.
Piyush's saying :
Just like me if you're using your phone for streaming HD videos, storing a large amount of different kind of music, capturing funny moments, always on facebook and not like to charge it every day, then you should not opt for this phone.
If you're an android developer this is the best phone to test your applications or if you're a big android phan (*fan) then you can consider this phone but at the cost of poor battery life and standard camera quality.
