How To Buy
Things to Consider
Though the Google Nexus 5 (sometimes called the LG Nexus 5) is a modern smartphone, everyone has different preferences when it comes to what they want from a smartphone. With that in mind, here are the top things we believe you should be aware of before buying the Nexus 5:
- The plastic body of the phone is prone to cracking and scratching if dropped, put in a pocket with metal coins or keys, or handled roughly. We therefore recommend you invest in a case and screen protector (see accessories)
- The back of the phone is non-removable which means that you can’t expand the storage, can’t replace the battery and repairs are more difficult and expensive than on most other phones, especially without specialist tools
- The Google Nexus 5 comes with a stock Android OS without any manufacturer UI overlays such as HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz. This gives it a more simple, pure Google Android experience which some users prefer
- The Google Nexus 5 uses a micro-SIM
