Agreed. People hold us to a high standard and I want to make sure we meet those expectations. Can't speak to the hands-on video since I wasn't there to shoot it, but the feedback on the unboxing is good, and it'll get better as I do more of them. My main focus is typically on the actual review (and its corresponding video) though, so keep a close eye out for those.

This is Brad, the person who made the video. Sorry you didn't like it. I rarely do unboxings, so I learn as I go. Obviously I now know to take the screen protector off next time! Anyhow, the area in which I spend the most time -- the actual in-depth review itself -- will be ready in a few days.

The phone looks so beautiful, especially with that exquisite plastic on top of the front glass.

Hi Brad, thank you for your reply, I appreciate it! Will watch your next video!

Best Android smartphone of 2013 and 2014.

Love Android 4.4 KitKat, Love Optical Image Stabilization with HDR+, Love integrated Google Now, Love LG's Advanced Optical Clear Resign display technology (500%+ increased brightness!).

FORZA LG ELECTRONICS!

[Engadget]

Heh.. indeed! Would love to do the take 2, but I'm now focused on the actual review itself -- this was just intended to be a side project of sorts.

[SamAbdelHamid]

I would appreciate it if you include the screen recording thing on KitKat.... wanna see how this works.

The phone build material looks nice I have got to say

[danhunt]

Can not wait for mine to come in the post!

Looks like an amazing phone for an amazing price!! Google really cares about its customers.

Check out the Three UK one. Crazy I know, but a carrier doing an overview of this phone is the best one out there.

I shouldn't have to wait until the end of the video to see the actual unboxing. You also should show the cable length and zoom in on the wall plug to show the amperage.

Kudos for being one of the first unbox videos for the N5. And now, here are my gripes:


1:35 your target audience for this video knows where the aux, power, volume buttons are. I would've love to know what the poly-carbonate back feels like instead. Oh and **take the screen protector off**

3:25 WTH was that at 3:25 about system apps??

What happened to the nexus boot up animation?! I miss that animation!

[AmanKhannablast]

do a battery life and camera review please !!!

[alexd]

The galaxy nexus got 4.2 about 2 weeks after the release of the nexus 4 last year, so two weeks would be my guess.

Gli unici che fanno l'unboxing più corto della review

[MinhPham]

You don't need anyone to authorize a good unboxing video. However, if you are a tech lover, you will be watching enough videos to realize what is a good one.

Overall good review. But leaving the plastic on makes me think he didn't want to scratch the screen or something I mean isn't this a sample unit?
