Anyone got a nexus 5 any good? bad points?

I have a Nexus 4 bext phone I've ever had, and the 5 is supposed to be even better from what I've seen.

But....it depends what you want. The biggest plusses to a Nexus are the value for money and the timely updates.

My Nexus 4 started on 4.1 then was updated to 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and now 4.4.2.

The Nexus 5 is still bleeding edge compared to even the Galaxy S5.

Bad points (Nexus 5), battery isn't the biggest and camera is ok and storage isn't expandable, however I use Google's cloud for backup without issue as I'm on unlimited data.

thanks for that I'm with 02 and they offer the 32gb but their tarrif isn't great compared to the likes of carphone warehouse and some of the other inet companis

Ring them up and threaten to leave. I do that every time until they give me a deal I'm happy with.

I've done that no joy

I can upgrade early for £36 they wouldn't wave that fee or I can leave altogether for £42 they won't tell me if there's any better tariff available with them, because I'm still in contract! as said the cheapest is £32 unlimited min text 1gb data which is enough for me, but then again you do get the 32gb phone which only 02 do swings and roundabouts I guess

How long have you got left on your contract?

The alternative, if you can afford it, is to go SIM free, buy the phone from Google Play (£339 for 32Gb) https://play.google.com/store/device...xus_5_red_32gb and then just get the SIM of your choice.

E.g Three do 600 minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited internet for £15.90/month.

SIM free from Google Play - 16Gb (which you'll struggle to fill) and black (because you're a man) - £300.

Best phone you'll ever buy to date.

Drop to the lowest/cheapest SIM only contract and enjoy the savings.

can't afford outright was thinking of putting on int free cc and paying monthly but then I'll still have to pay £10 - £15 pm for a sim
