I wish they would stop bashing nexus 4... When this phone came out everyone was talking about what a beast of a phone it was... Now they are saying it wasn't on par with what was out already at the time...? Make up your mind reviewers.

My teammates differ on this (as with most things), but my word on the Nexus 4 has remained unchanged since its release: I've always considered it an underpowered and overrated offering. You may disagree, but I wouldn't say I've been inconsistent. ^MF

Pocketnow How was it underpowered? Snapdragon S4 Pro was at the time what most of the flagship devices were using, and 2GB of RAM on board was actually pretty unusual even in flagships - the camera is bad compared to contemporary flagships, but still better than the previous generations flagship models, you could argue the 720P screen should have been 1080 as there were a couple of devices out then that had full HD, but that's getting pretty nitpicky - especially considering phones like the Moto-X are still being released with 720p. Sure it's well behind the curve now, but at the time it was as much a beast as the Nexus 5 is now.

Matthew Sharpe I couldnt agree with you more, have all the pocketnow reviewers forgot what they were talking about when the nexus 4 came out ?? The processor was the best that was out at the time (the 600 wasnt in any phones yet) and i remember them even saying that the screen was awesome because LG was making the best screens on the market! It wasnt an underpowered or under spec'd phone at all for the time- they are just wrong with saying that- i wish i knew where they were getting that from ?

Agreed. when the nexus 4 came out it had one of the best cpu/gpu, a really good display even if not the best and it performed better than most androids in real world use. Just yesterday i was messing around with my goddaughters nexus 4 and was thinking i wouldn't mind using this now.

Pocketnow WTF, the Nexus 4 was in no way "underpowered", what a ridiculous statement. The S4 Pro was the most powerful SoC at release and still is a absolute beast at 720p. Real world performance of the Nexus 4 is arguably snappier than much newer devices, like the S4, and definitely noticeably smoother than the S4.

Yeah looks nice to me, unfortunately i haven't got it yet. But I'm perfectly happy with plastic phones, in fact, I'd go so far as saying I'm done with metal phones, they're too fragile. I dropped my HTC One once and it scratched and dented. I ended up putting it in a plastic case after so what's the point. Before the One I had a Galaxy Nexus, I never used a case and dropped it a bunch of times without issue. I just think plastic makes more sense for a hand held device and the plastic used on the N5 looks about as good as you can get.

Im not seeing any flex or give, its plastic but its solid to me. The buttons are very clicky, they don't move like the home button on Note 3 for example. IMO, I'm seeing the "cheap" bar set at plastic instead of how the plastic is used. Either way, pretty hyped you jumped in here. I enjoy watching your videos.

I went from a GNEX to an N4 in September, then from an N4 to an N5 2 weeks ago (Thanksgiving night) and WOW! I love the phone. I got the all-black N5 and to me it doesn't feel too cheap. The soft-touch on the back FEELS AMAZING!!! I don't want to use a case now lol. Also, the 1080p is beautiful coming from the N4. Colors are very nice and warmer than the N4. The only thing is the navbar feels much bigger which can be remedied with roms. All I can say is, if you feel like you want to upgrade, go to any Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, or Best Buy/BB Mobile and play with it. You'll love it.

Hi Michael. Great review. I feel it was an honest and good review. Personally for me, I have a Nexus 4, and the call quality on it is good enough, but not great. The Camera is reasonable in my opinion, though not great. The one main problem I have with the Nexus 4 now, is that on one website(gsmarena.com) in Firefox, images flicker often, which is annoying. I have tried the page in Chrome, and it doesn't do it. I am thinking it is an issue with the renderer in Firefox, and compatibility with with Android 4.3. I don't know if this can be checked on The N5, either way is fine. I would also like to know if any cases are available for the N5 yet. Great review, and thanks for your time.

so torned here between the n5 and the one. love the simple gripy finish on n5 (yup more than the executive look on the one) and the snap dragon 800 chips. on the other hand I absolutely love (love maybe an understatement. I need) the boomsound on the one and also the slightly better display. checked out reviews for both and know the one is better at photos and n5 is better at taking videos. but tbh I dont care about any of those. what's left is the battery life. they both suck to me in that regard since both are unremovable. I'm a heavy user. my one x constantly dies out on me mid day and I hope I dont need to carry a charger everyday to compensate for my new phone. which one should I go for maybe even considering the note3? I dont like the looks of samsung phones but removable batteries are a huge plus. the only samsung I'm going to consider at the moment though are the note series. I am going to root the device whichever one I'm getting. thanks if you could help shed some light.
