The Nexus 5 was not necessarily the best phone of its time, but we (and you seem to) still love it even today. Josh explores why.

Wish Google would make a Pixel Phone looking like Nexus 5
that would be dope.
Ümit Ay exactly
*nods big time* I still say the Nexus 5 is by far the best phone LG ever produced.
true. LG should go stock android with their upcoming phones. LG's UI is downgrading their devices. Nokia is doing it the right way.
Agreed. I was shocked when I saw the price of the pixel.
Watching on mine 😉
Chupacabra same
Chupacabra same
Same here
Chupacabra same.
Might be time for an upgrade yeah?
You forgot that Nexus 5 have WIRELESS CHARGING!!
I remember begging my parents to buy me this phone. They didn't but I ended up getting the Nexus 6p after working ;D
Ammar Norain thx for sharing. nice
Ammar Norain my nexus 6p bootlooped
Kemi Kago 😧
Still have it... If so I could use it.
Kemi Kago mine too..and all the the 4 other replacements Google send me on a well extended factory warranty.
NEXUS 5 THE UNSTOPPABLE PHONE
Until you fall victim to the bootloop.....
Hadouken25 hold up. I thought LG are the ones to bootloop ... ?!
Hadouken25 OHHH RIGHT. This one was manufactured by LG. Haha..
Got an Honor 8 now. All is well
Yeah. I love it.
Nexus 5 is love
Nexus 5 is life

My first real smartphone, and boy do I miss it. They say you never forget your first time and I'm here to say that's def true. Miss you buddy.
Raul Polanco The same for me, I upgraded to G6 from the Nexus 5 last week, really miss my N5. Of course I still have it, but the battery life became very bad :'(
Ekoov you can replace the battery and fix that issue. Batteries deteriorate over time and since the n5 is a few years old it's battery is not going to function like it used to, and the fact that it didn't have the biggest battery didn't help.
I just replaced the battery on mine earlier today. :-D About $20 on Amazon for the battery plus the seller even threw in some opening tools and prying tools. It's an easy 5-minute swap.
How much did the battery life improve?
Still using my Nexus 5 and I'm not near replacing it :) With HDR the Pics are really good and with stock Android it still runs extremly smooth and I'm running a Nougat ROM. Best Smartphone in my opinion, because of the price and the smoothness. Pixel is better but for me, it's waaaaayyy too expensive. Good Video for people who might look for a cheap phone.
Gojy LetsPlay I'm using my nexus 5 why a marshmallow pure nexus ROM... Can you recommend any good nought based ROMs
Gojy LetsPlay agreed it's a great phone 😁
Gojy LetsPlay pixel is so much uglier
Nitish Allamaraju Euclidean Rom is good
Gojy LetsPlay its aldo a great mini tablet game device for my daughter. Its to bad it doesnt work with verizon I would gift it to my dad for his first smart phone
Nexus 5 is masterpiece.
Pre-ordered it (first batch), and still running like a charm!
In my opinion, it's the most beautiful phone ever.
Watching on my Nexus 5 😚
I carry two phones on me all the time. the one plus 3t. and the Nexus 5. loved that thing.
For me it's still the best phone, I miss that phone a lot
Debojyoti Jana I still have it
I also have it, but sadly it doesn't work
The battery is toast in mine and got a new phone half a year ago (Lenovo Vibe P2, which is admittedly pretty damn good also). Still, I think about getting a new battery to get the old girl going again... I loved that phone. :(
I don't miss it, because I'm still using it.
MPI1000 Can recommend, I got a new battery+tools from china for 8€
Still using mine! Got it in 2014, never been reset..works like a charm. I absolutely love it!
Great video bro, I still use my Nexus 5 in 2017 great phone
Still using my bright red Nexus 5, moving to a Oneplus 5 next week!
Dong Huang exactly same here :-)
Dong Huang same here
Me too. Got a one plus 5 last month
Me too!
I had the oneplus one when it came out and I'm typing this on a oneplus 3. Don't buy the oneplus 5.
My first smartphone. Decent camera for price. Bad battery life. Crashed once a few months. But so many memories.
I've had mine for 3-4 years now and I'm in need of a phone with a DAC. Is the LG V20 a worthy upgrade from a Nexus 5 or should I be looking at newer phones?
I still have my Nexus 5 but not working for couple of years now. The phone is not starting anymore and keeps looping, off then Nexus logo then off...
Using Android Marshmallow in 2017 isn't a bad idea. My daily driver runs it and it's very fast! Even on a Snapdragon 410...
Watching on my red Nexus 5😎
I would be watching on mine... But 2 weeks ago it went into boot loop and is now stuck at the lollipop loading animation after
trying to get it to start up 😢
I still have a Nexus 5! I started high school with it and I'm starting college this fall. Time to change?
Pixel should have had the back like nexus, with pixel written on it.
*But we still love the old Nokia 3310.* 😜
ULTRA Mixes or are too broke to do so XD
Classic trolls, making generalizations based on race.
ULTRA Mixes *Fuckin Racist!*
*That was just a joke idiot !*
Watching it on my nexus 5. 3.5years and Still going STRONG. ❤
How do I install ROM on my Nexus 5 (2013) model?
best phone ever (to me)
dark voice me too
I've a nexus 5x and I still love it...
Pratik Bartakke Same! I bought mine last year and it's still running like it's brand new!
Nexus 5 was my first Android phone and I loved it. I still have find memories of it.
Using from feb,2014 and still performing like boss. 😍
If you think about it, nowdays you buy a flagship model or a good midranger you can use it for at least 3 or 4 years if it doesn't go wrong. Of course if you don't fall for the manufacturer's marketing bullsh*t like dual camera, edge to edge display, 3D touch, squeezable frame etc..
Mark O. E. Dual camera is not a gimmick
I have the nexus 5x and i love it💓💓
RRainerss Where did you get your motherboard and how did you replace it?
RRainerss I second Smoker's question!
Kaleem Bissessur battery life is good ??
Mine one is under my store due to bootloop problem
Sudip Paudel Mine too atm lol
This video made me cry. Even when I read the title a teardrop started rolling down. All you say is so true !
I got it when it was released, I was 18 and worked hard in order to afford it. then it got stolen in Barcelona 1 year after. I regret it so much. I never had the courage to put a lot of money on a smartphone after that, and I downgraded to a Moto G3 as a replacement. So salty.
Have some problems with stock camera app does anyone have same problem? If so can tell me a good third party one
Nexus 5 at its time is much better than Nexus 6p at its time, in terms of performance, design, screen quality, c/p, all these aspects
and Nexus 5 is actually in my experience much slappier than Nexus 6P(fk 810)
Maxim Au I dont see how the nexus 5's design is better than the 6P's. And the display on the 6P is MUCH better than the washed out ips on the N5
"at its time", nexus 5 screen and design compare to other smartphones at its time is much better than 6p compare to other smartphones at its time. and no, 6p display is not that great on its own, color accuracy is absolutely off on that display, and there is no color control or srgb mode to help either, nexus 5 display is much more accurate and has more nature color tone. The design is ok, but build quality is shit, it is even easier to bend than iphone 6
The color accuracy is pefectly fine. There is an srgb mode in the developper options which makes colors look natural. Please do some research before talking trash.
had a nexus 4. absolutely horrible battery life. after 2 years wouldn't even get over 2h of screen on time
Niklas Sonderegger Meanwhile it's the other way around for me. My Nexus 4 gives me 3h of SOT and I'm still using it
alexdiezg depends on whether one abuses the battery heavily by charging from empty to full often
Had mine for 4 years and it's still running like a champ!
I have a nexus 5 and its 5-6 years old , there is a battery problem , can anyone tell me where to find new original battery in Ghaziabad , Noida , Delhi ?
Nexus 5 still using it everyday and will be soon moving to LG G6
#LGSquad
Christian Enmon erm... Don't do it 😂 LG will be great at first but give it time and you'll wish you didn't join team LG!
Christian Enmon I moved from 6P to G6. No regrets so far!
got my g6 last week, but my nexus is actually faster in opening up some apps lol
Christian Enmon better hope the it doesn't bootloop
Marcus Skyfall we all have our own different experiences, I mean Nexus 5 served me well and now G6 is such a good phone next to S8 ;)
Thumbs Up if you are using Nexus 5 since 31th October 2013 😁
I swear I am thinking to skip S8 or OP5 😊
Sh Afnan i am also confused.. My N5 works perfect.. only issue being short battery life.. May be N5 will be ok till S9 or OP6
Yes maybe 😊 i think i will never buy a Samsung mobile. Just don't need all those useless apps and stuff people never use.
I maybe will wait to see till new iphone.. never had one lol
Mine is 3 yrs , 8 months old. Was running liquid smooth. Now on stock marshmallow. Still packs a punch and battery lasts a day easily.
watching on my Nexus 5x I bought just two days ago, but it heats up I don't get it
the LG g2 is a Nexus 5 with a better camera..battery... and it works on Verizon
Dan Venezzio but that bootloop issue :/
The Minecrafter lol the G2 didn't have bootloop issues
josh please cut your hair...
Aqshalst You cut your hair....
Captain Obvious What? Never mind I was just bored
Going on a date with him? ;)
Kyle Ruggles If you continue your videos I will subscribe to you.
No, it looks great. This is coming from a man
Anyone knows what the keyboard in this video is?
have just updated my precious N5 to Oreo 8.1 and then see this video... damn, it really even boosts my love for the N5 to a whole new level! 2018 and the N5 is still rocking with Oreo 8.1 without too many problems other than the one related to battery and some heavy games. incredible!

Lavar Ball I though you're the first
Lavar Ball isn't nexus the same as Google?
Why would you put HTC over Samsung??
HTC and apple over Sammy? lmao and Nexus / Google are the same
I hve accidently deleted custom rom from internal storage....niw what should i have to do?
You can always sideload files if you have a custom recovery, just look it up it isn't that difficult.
Love this phone so much.
I don't regret couple of disappointments.
I'm Happy with this phone. Tweaking software and Hardware once in 6 months gives me great happiness.
Thank you Josh.
Have one in my drawers but the charging is messed up, will only charge while turned off. Yes I have changed the battery.
Great video..Thanks Josh..This was the 1st phone i rooted. Glad it's still alive and kicking in the community. Brilliant phone.
What game are you playing towards the end of the video?
Should I get a new Nexus 5 for 150USD? It's completely new from Mexico carrier Telcel.
Got my Nexus 5 on the first day and still using it everday since then. Still love it and not sure what phone to upgrade from, maybe the pixel 2?
I cant find this device on my country, it is not popular here, what can I do
can anyone name the background music used in this video? a link maybe. Thanks in advance :)
Hi Josh I use nexus and let me tell you one thing about this phone, the more you use this phone the more u fall in love with this but it's time for me to move on. I am getting galaxy s8, what do you think on this will it be a great experience???
I bought to my sister a nexus 5 red with 32gb version 2 years back and it's still working great.
loved the review, I still own one, does anyone know what game is he playing in the review? Thanks
Just fixed mine again, I'm gonna be using this for as long as I can!
Any links to buy the Nexus 5X ?
I just watched this video on my N5 in RED. Still going strong.
Miss mine so much it hurts a bit. Still got it in a drawer, but the screen has gone dark, and the battery is even worse than when it was new
I love your videos! They are the best!!😀
Wish mine still worked, had it for 5 months until the power button broke so couldn't let it power off, took it to a shop and after 3 weeks was told it couldn't be repaired cause of water damage apparently and was left without a phone until I got my oneplus one. Still have the nexus body for some reason lol
What's the background music please eee?
What is the best ROM for this device?
I still have mine :( but unfortunately motherboard had some problem and it too costly to get it repaired
watching this video in my favorite nexus 5. and after using it fpr several years it is still a GREAT phone!
Amazing video. I literally just got nexus 5 nostalgia this week and bought a new and sealed phone off ebay for $160. It was my first android phone after yeeeears of iPhone (and before years of other Android phones...), and even 4 years later, this phone's form factor is my absolute favorite. Coincidental timing!
This was my backup phone when I had to get my V10 fixed for a bootloop. I was actually surprised at how good it still was. I think it will always be one of my all-time favorite phones.
I use that and have had it since 2014. Watching on it too. And I'm in need of an upgrade
My all time favorite, still fully functional and on my desk. Love it
What abt front camera u ddnt review abt it???
Are you using a very fast shutter speed? Your footage always seems choppy to me! No motion blur at all. If so I think it would look better if you use a slower one to get some motion blur into your videos
Watching this video from my Nexus 5!! Still fighting strong!!!
What's the Soundtrack? Thanks.
Used mine for years until the power button failed and before that had multiple warranty exchanges. But that being said the phone is one of my favorite devices of all time. Fantastic phone.
When will its next update come Android 7
DRM Info returns that the Nexus 5 has Widevine L1, which is needed for online streaming of hd content. However, Netflix still streams SD quality. How can this be circumvented?
I still use mine - using it now! LineageOS means it is on 7. Only major problem was the wifi / Bluetooth chip broke at the end of last year, but as I have insurance I got sent a new one! Also there is an annoying problem where sometimes you have to reboot the phone to get the camera to work. Apart from that, I can't think of a reason to move to any other phone until this one can't work at all.
Just switched from my Nexus 5 to a new device. To many drops and the poor buttons are pretty much not working.
is the nexus 6p still a good buy?
Still have mine, might take it out the box just cause. Using S8+ now.
I love this phone so much and already have one and also I was completely obsessed the phone
make a video about the Samsung galaxy j7 2017 model Verizon plz there not real any video about it I really want to know more about it.
Still in love..❤❤❤😢😢😢
Dropped my Nexus 5 after 3,5 years of usage about two weeks ago. Since then I am looking for a phone to replace it in the same price range and size, but so far I couldnt find one that would suit me (No gaming, but I want to have a notification LED and fingerprint sensor).
I still use my 32GB black nexus 5 since that November when it launches :), very happy with it! maybe I will upgrade next year it will be hard to not use my Nexus anymore though.
Still using my nexus 5 up to now since 2014. A very user friendly and simple smartphone.
I have my Nexus 5 white 32 and still love it
Still got mine. Use it as a backup/test device. Mostly fine but do have a crack on one corner of the screen. Running Nougat (and a more recent version than whats on my HTC 10 at that.)
Something else I sorely miss from this device is the in hand feel. The size and shape just seem to work so well for me. You could fit a 5.5" display in a body almost the same size as the nexus 5's with the whole 2:1 "bezelless" thing that's going round. That sounds pretty perfect to me.
Favourite Phones I've had are still this and the Nexus One. N5X came close but I think the bootloop made me bitter.
Anyone having their G apps changing to squares? White background?
N6p O preview
one of the best phones I ever get, I dropped mine the screen was broken, it was then replaced and the phone is still alive and used
Still using....Love it... 😍😍
I used to have one, and I loved it so much, didn't want to get rid of it.. but in the end the battery gave me huge problems, it was draining like crazy only after 1 year of ownership so had to get rid of it.. but by far one of the best phones to hold, loved the soft material on the back.
i still have this beast. it looks liike it came from war because i dont want to put casing on it. so the back is kinda oily-scratchy cover thing now. but still rockin. performance still great. thanks
Watching this on my lovely nexus 5
