REVIEW - @ arsTechnica

by Ron Amadeo, Andrew Cunningham

[WHAT]

1. SUMMARY @ Review @ arstechnica
1. ]  "Mature, all-black good looks without any "faux" nonsense. Real care was put into things like the contrasting matte/glossy materials and round earpiece"

[WHY] PROs

1. ] will be compared to high-end phones from every other OEM. A 2.26Ghz Snapdragon 800 processor; 2GB of RAM; and a 5-inch, 1080p screen is certainly worthy of any company's flagship. 
2. ] At only $350 off contract, the Nexus 5 comes in at around half the cost of other high-end phones—an off contract iPhone 5S is $650, an HTC One is $600, a Galaxy S 4 is $640. It's almost hard to be critical of something that delivers so much value for the money.
3. ]  the Nexus 5 is an extremely good piece of hardware. Google and LG have taken the G2 hardware and made a few changes that appear to be mostly for the better. 
4. ] It's half the price of everything that competes with it.
5. ] The gorgeous 445ppi display has bright, accurate colors.
6. ] Mature, all-black good looks without any "faux" nonsense. Real care was put into things like the contrasting matte/glossy materials and round earpiece.
7. ] The Snapdragon 800 SoC, LTE connectivity, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi are all nice speed upgrades from last year.
8. ] KitKat is fast, sleek, helpful, and pretty

[WHY-NOT] CONs

1. ] Unspectacular battery life. You can kill the phone in six hours, but it will happily sit in a pocket all day without draining much.
2. ] So-so storage speeds.
3. ] he Moto X has a much more capable voice recognition system than Google's new flagship.
