Pure Android, Pure Google. Pure joy. Review on LG Nexus 5

The Good:

• Stocked with un-customized Android 5. The new launcher is awesome. The aesthetic changes are pretty slick, too.

• Display is truly excellent. Colors are extremely good, auto-brightness actually works, and sharpness is of course as good as your eyes will ever be able to appreciate.

• This phone is crazy stupid turbo-fast. Apps load faster, multitasking is snappier, and every facet of UI interaction just seems quicker.

• There's something very *cool* about the way the Nexus 5 looks. Hardcore Plastic, separating it from cheap, quick plastic.

The Not So Good:

• Unexciting camera. It's not bad, it's just not very good, either. Auto-focus is just too slow.

• Battery. The battery life isn't horrible, but it could be so, so much better.

• External speaker just kind of sucks. It's not that loud, the quality is pretty awful, and the placement means you'll probably muffle it if you're holding your phone in landscape mode.

• No slot for additional storage.

• Non-removable battery.
