The feeling is probably caused by the fact that it feels lighter than one expects from the size, and the body does not have that "coldness of metal" to it. But once one squeezes it here and there, one sees that the body does not creak. It is perfectly solid.

The buttons have a flimsy feeling to them. The power button is softer than reasonable. If it holds its current level of resistance through use, then it would be OK, But if it will reveal a propensity to soften even further in use, then Nexus 5 will immediately be given a "fail" mark for that reason alone.

Everybody usually does :) Most of the "I'm happy with my Nexus 5" comments you see in this thread are actually "weak-handed" owners trying to subdue their growing remorse.

Right, this is the part that is not argued by anyone. Indeed, the speaker is very bad. It is especially obvious for those who bring over their favorite ringtones and notification sounds only to discover that on Nexus 5 they sound terrible. Nexus 5 sounds like a chap plastic speaker inside a plastic box. As usual, some ringtones sound better than others, so the problem can be "solved" by finding a better ringtone, if you have the strength to part with your old favorites.

I don't have any issues with volume though. My previous phone was HTC Sensation 4G, which was catastrophically quiet. So now I'm happy to have a phone I can actually hear.

But, obviously, Nexus 5 cannot be used for listening to music through its loudspeaker.

Yes, this is another problem everybody encounters with Nexus 5. This appears to be a software issue. Fixable. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon.

Could be. I notice that many other phones tend to show "full battery" for suspiciously long periods of time after charging. There's a good chance it is done for marketing purposes - they falsely report "full" for a longer period of time and then drop more rapidly. Google appears to have opted for more honest reporting: the battery begins to drop right away, which often makes some users to believe they are losing the battery faster, while in fact they are not.

I haven't inspected mine that closely yet...

Yeah... I also had my reservations about getting a LG. And some issues with the phone do seem to be rooted in its "LGness". But I have been using it for a week only. Time will show how well it lasts...

What is very impressive about Nexus 5 is how overwhelmingly fast and precise its GPS lock is. I have never had a device that used bot GPS and GLONASS before. So, seeing it grab 20+ satellites and fix the location in a matter of seconds even indoors is an excitingly new experience for me.

"Value"? Define "value". Without a meaningful definition this sounds like a laughable late-night TV ad nonsense.
[Nexus 5 General] skyo12:
Not defending anyone but to consumers, value would equate to the quality of the product for the amount of money they spend. If you think of it that way, N5 is definitely a great value.

I currently have the HTC One which I bought for $600+ and I have a lot of issues with it (QC issue related, will get my 4th unit today and will post it for sale immediately). Based on my experience with it, I definitely do not feel I got a great value for my money. If I had paid significantly less, I know I probably would be a bit less stringent in my expectations.

If anyone is interested in a mint condition HTC One (T-Mobile), that's unused, PM me.

Coming from LG Optimus 2X, this phone is so awesome. It's everything I wanted the 2X to be. I'm so happy that my phone can reach an uptime of 120h before crashing.

I swore I would never buy an LG again, but the price is unbeatable. Plus it's Google writing the software, not LG.
[Nexus 5 General] jRi0T68:
I've had mine over a month, still getting great battery life, still no dead pixels, stuck pixels or light bleed, no button issues, creaking, etc.

"Feel" being cheap, not hardly. It's plastic, yes, which can be easily argued to be the best material for a smartphone based upon physical properties, not just price.

Sure, the speakers aren't as good as the One. The camera software isn't fast enough yet. No device is perfect, but Nexus 5 isn't hardly second rate. It's a fantastic device, which only disappoints because where it excels so well highlights the areas where it fails. It's so smooth, light, effortless in operation is that it makes me expect more from the couple of shortcomings (when you don't get defects, I guess).

I certainly can't understand the need for certain people to be on a mission to trash talk the device in every thread they can and in their sig. If you don't like it, get a different phone. It's fairly childish.

Value is absolutely an actual word with a specific definition. It refers to getting a lot for your money. "Bang for your buck," so to speak. The N5 is a tremendous value because you're getting a top-of-the-line smartphone for an incredible price, regardless of how Dicecuber feels about his obviously defective phone.

Really guys? Get some life, if u love it cherish it, if u hate it drop it into the flames of hell and go drink some beer XD

For half the world, for 350 you get a glaxy s3 mini or something similar, n5 might have some defects but still shines for that price tag, i wont go into fanboysm and stuff i had samsung stuff and even htc crappy touchjiiz and heavy sense stuff, and i like the simple and always updated stock, but everyone have its tastes like womans...

i can say i had the n5 since launch and no problems till now, i'm a happy customer
[Nexus 5 General] xdaSEx10:
How about N5's camera, compared with that of GS4? Is there a big difference in good light conditions?
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Someone will flame me for saying this, but I have them both with the 4.4.2 update, the N5 takes much better pictures in both low light and normal light. HDR+ works amazingly.

Before the 4.4.2, the S4 took the better pictures by far.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
The S4 takes terrible photos in low light. The N5 is way better in that regard.

[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Coming from the Htc One the only real thing that was a downgrade IMO was the speaker (but I think that goes without saying). At $350 price point, there is no device that comes close to the N5. V4A did help the speaker a bit but I think Google/LG had to make some sacrifices in getting the phone at that price, and speakers were probably one of those places. There is no perfect device but I'm very happy with this device until the M8 is released :D

People have reported that the speaker and vibration have gotten better with the updates. But I haven't noticed much difference. The speaker is definitely better.

I'm guessing this is your first nexus device? How do you know the Rogers network doesn't suck? You have had issues with previous phones losing signal.

The phone will be constantly searching for a signal.

I think he's referring to the battery. The thing is, complaining that a Nexus device has a non-removable battery is like complaining that water is wet. It's a totally irrelevant point because having a non-removable battery is an intrinsic property of Nexus devices, not a manufacturing defect.
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
I have noticed something regarding the "weaker" signal in the updates vs 4.4. When at my desk (at work in Midtown Manhattan) on 4.4 I get an LTE signal and it shows a strong signal but I cannot run a speed test and I do not get consistant data. For some reason it won't switch down to 3G but stays on the LTE but I have no data (BBM, emails, etc... won't come through).

On the updated radio's I would not have an LTE signal and instead have 3G but my data worked. Take that as you may, that is just my experience from my signal at my desk. While on the 4.4 radio walking around NYC on Friday night I would get a strong LTE signal and ran some decent speed tests around 10mbps down. So it seems my signal at my desk in my office building is very bad because a block away in either direction and I get decent LTE speeds.

I would much rather have my signal drop from LTE to 3G if that means I will get data, as of now my LTE signal stays on and I don't get data while on the 4.4 radio.
[Nexus 5 General] malibu_23:
I think alot of you guys carrier service/Coverage Area/Apps you guys use directly influence your negative opinions on the N5 and its battery.

With my phone its always maybe 2 ticks from the lowest brightness setting. At night, its always on lowest setting. Can never see myself going higher than maybe 25%. its hella bright. So my screen isnt a huge drain on my battery. I do heavy web searching/instagram/simpsons tapped out/angry birds/ebay/texting/email/chromecast/playing music and i still can go ALL day and then some before i throw it on the charger.

My LTE coverage with this phone is so nice, im reconsidering leaving sprint for t-mobile. which was my original plan. cuz my G-Nex almost ruined me. that trash AMOLED and even more garbage coverage/battery life. N5 a top tier phone IMO.

but here on xda its 79% complaining. 20% modding. 1% praise.

i lurked these threads for the 1st two months this phone was released, and almost got convinced i should pass on it.

I came from a One S and very satisfied.

At the time of choosing, it was either between the One or the N5. I choose the N5 b/c of the design and hardware and continue support. We all know that HTC is ****ting the bed when it comes to make profit, so I highly doubt that they will push updates in the future. Look at the One S, there were rumors of updates for a year and then they shut it down. The phone is about a year and half old and no updates.

At least with Google phone, we know they will offer us the next version of their OS whenever it releases.

I am satisfied with my purchase.:good:

I have been an HTC fan for many years.

5 colleagues in my office have switched from IPhone to Htc One and all love this device.

Strangely I haven't seen an urgent need to get the Htc One over my existing Htc One X.

I spend many hours on theming and my Analog Clocks that are skins for the UCCW App.

As such, to me my number one priority is typically screen quality, then quality of internal incall sound (and loudness) and the timeous latest Android updates.

Headphone listening is also critical for me.

The N5 is unfortunately not available in my country, but I have managed to compare a couple of walls on both the Htc One and N5, side by side with a friend who has imported the N5.

The N5 doesn't match the brilliance of the Htc One X in terms of neutral, vivid and natural colours.

It is indeed a little 'washed out'.

I needed to increase Saturation in Photoshop by as much as 20-40% to approach the brilliant Htc One X screen rendition of the respective walls.

Having rambled on, is there someone who can confirm whether sound quality on the N5 using headphones is fine as well as loudness and quality of incall sound.

I am lucky enough to have the Nexus 10 and am appreciative of the instant updates from Google.

My ultimate decision will probably be a compromise on the screen in favour of immediate updates from Google and use software to address the slightly 'washed out' images as displayed on screen.

The colors on the N5's display are actually very well calibrated. You're just used to the One X which has slightly oversaturated colors. As a former Samsung user, though, I can understand where you're coming from.
