*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

Well it will be great when we can actually start talking about this phone rather than just sharing updates on delivery statuses :/
 
I see a lot of people saying the screen is "EPIC AMAZING ETC" but IMO its just OK same as nexus 4 :) my oppo find 5 walks all over the nexus 5 screen.. here's a quick video I made just to show the screen viewing angles compared to find 5! :) don't mind the quality was filmed with another find 5 lol, and audio had to be replaced with something else so ignore that too.. it doesn't look AS BAD in real life but the difference is clearly visible and those that owned a nexus 4 will know exactly what to expect! :)
as far as speakers go they are not stereo just made to look like it :) one side is speaker the other is microphone, over all the sound is tiny compared to oppo find 5 and I would say its somewhere around my old S2!

camera samples with no editing and taken randomly by hand so no tripod etc and all on auto on both phones.

Driver probably has a single Post Office to leave all undelivered parcels at the end of his route. From deliveries I've had the PF leave them at either one of a couple of nearish POs or they can take them back to their depot for collection.

Normally it would be left at the local Post Office, or taken to the PO local depot (also in the nearby town). Taken to a completely different PO in a different town is a new one on me. The Parcelforce depot is 30 miles away, so it's a relief it's not being held there!
 
Nice, mine just arrived. I am surprised it is actually not all that much bigger than my old Galaxy S2. Was a bit worried about it being too large but it seems to hit the sweet spot.

In my opinion the screen is a massive improvement on the Nexus 4 in terms of colour, at an angle the Nexus 4 took on a horrible yellow haze. The N5's viewing angles are acceptable (nowhere near as bad as Sony) but yeh it's clearly not better then the Oppo5 for viewing angles. Nice video by the way.

Nice camera comparison, is the Oppo5's camera really that poor? The colours look pretty bad in the outdoor shots. The sky almost looks like it's night time!

Got to say it looks like the Nexus 5 is the clear winner in that camera comparison.
 
Does anyone use Spotify? I have this annoying issue but since I haven't used an Android phone in ages, I dunno whether it's the N5 or an Android thing. When I switch on any Audio Effect for the EQ, then everytime I play any track, it skips slightly within the first second.

It's like it starts the track, then half a second later it skips and then the EQ is applied for the rest of the track. It's pretty annoying so I've turned off Audio Effect for now. It's a shame because the iOS version doesn't have any EQ settings so I was really looking forward to this.
 
Mine arrived. Luckily I managed to intercept it at my office's reception, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PRINT AN ADDRESSEE ON IT!!! Just company name!!! Ridiculous.

Not sure what happened with the sky shots on find 5 over all it has a really good camera! I may have covered it with my finger a little but can't be 100% sure now! :) and yeah nexus 5 really does a good job when it comes to camera, low light shots(room ones) came out a lot better than find 5.

When do you use your N4/N5 not at a full on faceing viewing angle? :S

not often but simply going from a phone that has no such thing as "viewing angles" its noticeable :) over all I don't mind it all its just a video for those that care and want to know how it looks before purchasing.
 
Ok so my first impressions. Holding the Nexus 5 next to a Nexus 4 really makes the Nexus 4 look a little cheap. There's a noticeable bump in how premium the device feels and looks. I love that the sides of the phone got the same grippy matt plastic as the back, instead of some glossy plastic. The side buttons are ceramic, they feel good. One slight niggle is the power button is a little loose, it wiggles about a little if played with. Volume rocker feels more solid. Another minor niggle is the grippy matt plastic seems to attract finger prints.

With both devices turned on side by side it emphasises the better colours on the Nexus 5. Better viewing angles too.

The device feels lightening quick, even faster then the Nexus 4 which was already super fast.
