The new smartphone from Google, the Nexus 5, sports some excellent mobile phone features starting with the new Android 4.4 KitKat. This provides both a visual and functional upgrade. With voice activation, you don’t even need to touch your screen. Just say OK Google, and you can launch a voice search, get directions, play a song or send a text.
Multi-tasking also becomes easier with optimized memory and an improved touchscreen, so it responds faster. You can listen to music, play games and search at the same time. Your contacts are automatically prioritized including people and businesses, and an unrecognized number will be check against your contacts and a local listing.
Along with keeping track of your games, movies and books, you can also continue working wherever you are by sending photos, documents and web pages to be printed from any printer that is connected to Google Cloud Print. In fact, you can access any file from apps like Quickoffice and cloud storage services. It has a 13 megapixel camera making it good competition for professional cameras if it has had the KitKat 4.4.1 update installed. Without the update, the quality of photos may not be professional, but they are still good.
There have been some issues reported about the Nexus 5 including easily cracked screens, problems with the speaker and dead pixels. These problems have been addressed, and the phones are being replaced or repaired according to the desire of the owner. Also, the audio feature that was used previously is not included in this model. The smartphone has superior quality stereo speakers and the graphic abilities are also high quality. You can play all the games you love right on your smartphone.
If you’re looking for fast wireless connectivity, the Galaxy s5 Prime is capable of sending and receiving data on three separate spectrum bands with Qualcomm’s MDM 9635 chip. This smartphone includes a 16-megapizel camera for high-quality pics with a 2-megapixel front view. It also has the Android 4.4.3 KitKat.
Security is also a major issue today with smartphones, and the Nexus 5 has new and improved Face Unlock technology. Touching and PIN numbers are no longer necessary. The new version means the user must blink when they face the screen. A photo of the owner will no longer work to unlock it. There are also other features that reduce the margin of error to a minimum, but it is much more secure than the Face Unlock of three years ago.
Users comment that it has good balance between weight and size with a slimmer, lighter design, 4G/LTE, ultra-fast WiFi speed and wireless charging. It has a bright, five inch HD display that gives a lot more room for multitasking, and photos and videos look good. You can access more than one million games and apps. It comes in black or white and with 16GB or 32GB of memory. It is considered a great phone for the price and a worthy competitor to the Galaxy s5.
