All said and done, if you want a smartphone that is well built, has the latest specifications and runs apps well, then the Nexus 5 is the smartphone for you. If the camera is a high priority or you want a smartphone that's perched at the cutting edge of chic, we think you should look elsewhere (for instance, at the HTC One or the Xperia Z1). LG has made a great flagship smartphone for Google in the Nexus 5, and even if it isn't perfect, it makes a damn good attempt at perfection.
