Nexus 5 hands-on

[jarvishughes]

I only came back to make sure this is still the most hated video on YouTube. Lol

lost it at ''a little bit laggy like all android devices''

'Although scrolling performance is a little slow like it tends to be on all Androids'



What?

"The camera will probably suck because not iPhone lol"

[siddiquiakram]

Im using since 10 months never got lag. You said it 1.5 mins. LOL

74 sec is not a lot of time to give your impressions on anything, however focus is key in these particular types of reviews. It would probably be better to have a person to review these devices who has more of an open mind, and will leave their personal bias at the door.

Just doing my routine check up on this thread about once a year. Yep, it's still the most hated video on youtube. I actually still use the Nexus 5 and love it! See you guys in a year!

[zachhudson]

I'm surprised this video is still up..

[Graikos]

I expect nothing less from the sheep at iverge. Unbelievable, "I call it pretty good". I could care less what YOU call it.

I just switched back to my Nexus 5  recently and the phone still running buttery smooth. The phone soon will received Android M update after Q4 this year.

Scrolling on android may be slower than iPhone but it's totally ignorant to say it's slow.

The Verge,

The Google Nexus 5 is not laggy at all. If you want to see lag, try the iPhone 5s. Yes, I said it. The iPhone 5s is laggy. Laggy! I'm not joking. Oh, and one more thing... UNSUBSCRIBED.

[drincela]

the camera is updated now it has optical image stabilization (ois) which improves low light performance and eliminates blur on photos from shaky hands

[Alfredul]

OMG what a poor and miserable hands-on about the Nexus 5, typical iPhone-fanboy!

[Peahnuts]

Interesting to see how much worse comments were back in the day 😬

The buttons are made out of ceramic, for whatever that's worth, & usually Android cameras aren't that impressive, ha! the lines that stick out, can you tell he's not fan of Android or what!

Slap an apple logo on the back and the plastic will feel god like to them.

Just because it is highly anticipated doesn't mean he should praise it like it's godsend. The video is 1 minute long which doesn't leave much room for meticulous testing and the browser was probably the first thing he was interested in so it was included.
I'm pretty sure there are other videos that are longer where it was tested thoroughly but this isn't the video to be pointing fingers at.
It was a mini hands-on. Nothing else and nothing more.
I don't understand why all the hate.

It's slow if we talk about process power. Like to render 3D graphics, to open apps and handle a lot of stuff opened. But the interface of any iOS device is smoother, that's the point. Just open the the launcher on Android and iOS side by side and sweep between screens on both and compare it... It's nothing to worry about, but the difference is definitely there...

The scrolling point that he made on google chrome is a valid one, I havent experienced an android tablet or phone that has perfect smooth scrolling.
