REVIEW nexus 5 @ engadget

by Brad Molen

[WHAT]

  1. SUMMARY-  Review@Engadget by Brad Molen 
    1. ] a power user's dream that sells for $350 and features some of the same specs you'd expect to see in a top-shelf device.
    2. ] It's a $350 flagship phone with the serenity of a pure Android experience and all the trimmings, that's what.

[WHY] PROS

  1. ] high-res display, 
  2. ] overall performance and the 
  3. ] enhancements brought to us by Android KitKat. 
  4. ] value - Nexus 5 isn't just a really nice phone; it's also a welcome harbinger of where smartphones might be headed. That you can purchase a smartphone with such incredible specs for less than $400 -- without being forced into a contract in the process -- is a shot across the bow at manufacturers who sell similar devices for an additional $200 (at best). Whether or not it was the company's intent, Google is sending a message to smartphone makers that it's possible to make high-quality handsets without costing consumers the proverbial arm and leg. Now we just wait and see if that message will be warmly received.

[WHY NOT] CONS

  1. ]  We can't point our finger at any one feature that was clearly the victim of cost-cutting, with battery life being the only possible exception.
