The Nexus 5 was released in the fall of 2013 and was the first device to ship with Android 4.4.4 KitKat. The starting price was just $349 for the 16GB version and $399 for the 32GB model. The Nexus 5 was based off of the LG G2; the CPU is the same Snapdragon 800 with 2GB RAM, and the 4.95" display has 1080p resolution via an IPS LCD panel.

Reviewers say: The display on the Nexus 5 is crisp, but is less saturated than displays found on other similar phones. Reviewers tout the excellent performance of the Nexus 5, but complain about the camera, which is inconsistent. Finally, some reviewers note the unexciting, though utilitarian design of the Nexus 5, which offers a good in-hand feel thanks to its size, shape, and texture.
