Nexus 5

This Nexus 5 video was completed over a span of over 3 weeks during which I used only the this phone.

There's one error in it. I hope you guys will forgive me. I tried swiping down with two fingers a couple times on the phone and it didn't register to go directly to quick toggles, so without investigating further I assumed for some reason this functionality wasn't present. It IS, so that's a definite "boo boo" on my part. Sorry :(

Boot up time is slow? IMO fastest I've seen on any device, even beats the 5s

This is really a phone where you're not expecting the best out of the box, you're expecting your customizing skills to make this the best after you get it out of the box.

One of the better Linus reviews in a really long time ... These reviews are what got me watching your channel to begin with ... Please keep it up

Love my Nexus 5. Latest update improved camera quality and speaker volume dramatically for me. The phone can't be beat for $350. Am on Straight Talk's $45 per month unlimited plan and am loving the AT&T LTE service I get. Best bargain around.

I think you're becoming my favorite "phone guy". I can't explain, but the way you describe things, and even your opinions, help me understand a product better. And I totally used your audible link. Holy cow I can consume twice as many books now:D it's great

Most fav - fastest Android updates
Least fav - Battery Life

"What the F**k, Google?" 
That was so unexpected! Made me lol

[DaveJohn]

Haha, one year ago you wouldn't touch android :-)

[FuxReverse]

Solid review! This phone is definitely for me. Been dying for the vanilla experience for a while.

[nacariomelvin]

this is how a review should be, very informative, unbiased and no nonsense! love it!

I am thinking about the Nexus 5 while watching this Nexus 5 on my Nexus 5. So in love with this phone, KitKat has been a pleasure to use so far. As for exterior protection, I was always worried the camera lens that pertruded out a bit would get damaged longterm so I picked up a SPIGEN case and no complaints.

As for tips and tricks, Android Authority has a video on the Nexus 5. Some things a basic Android user would have already known but they did mention the two finger swipe, which I found pretty helpful.

[Jeffmorgan]

Ah I mentioned two finger swipe down worked on my GNexus. Glad you fixed your review. One of the best now :)

On the homescreen, hold that app on the remove icon for a few secs and you will be given the option to uninstall it.

It's been there since android 4.1.1

Thanks for the review, LinusTechTips! I have an upgrade coming up in the next month or two and after seeing this I might wait for what HTC and Samsung have to offer by then.

[gameman]

This would be the perfect phone for me, only thing its lacking is SD card slot

[dunnetw]

Watching on my nexus 5, loving everything about it!! Speaker and battery life is better than my old iPhone, so glad I switched

[zelicanth]

Thank you :) I was waiting for this for such a long time. Great review by the way :)

[danielshovelton]

all these years watching Linus, and its like the first time he's f bombed

Fantastic review Linus, I've watched almost all Nexus 5 review on YouTube (in English) and this is one of my favorites. You touched on some things that no one else did. It's definitely a device for those who love to tinker. For the price, you really cannot get anything better. 

[OuchMyFaceyHole]

Lol "WTF GOOGLE!" That's the Linus I want to see more often. Just feels like a more realistic or face to face convo. Loved the vid.
