This product is great but...

It is an excellent product, unsurpassed works dramatically, Android runs great, good pictures, applications and advanced games are achieved great run; if I could buy a smartphone volviría what to buy, it is at the level of the newest ... but ... a problem that has happened to me twice and I do not want to happen again, from one moment to another is presented the screen is black, the phone works, receive calls, messages, etc, but can not see anything because the screen does not work and does not know what the problem is ... Sad but true.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality, usability, intuitive
I would recommend this to a friend!

LG G3 has great features but lacks build quality.
on April 11, 2015

I've had this phone for 5 months now, i switched from the G2 to the G3. i absolutely loved my G2. It was solid, fast, never had any software issues, and i loved all the features it presented. When i switched to the G3, i was a little disappointed. It ran slower than my G2, and due to the removable battery and back cover, it didn't feel very solid. As you take the back cover off of the phone more and more often, the phone starts to make noises like the product is ready to fall apart, and since this phone has never been dropped and has always had a case on it, makes me nervous. Also, once i received the phone, there had been little white spots in areas of my screen, it looks like dead pixels or maybe burn areas in my screen like the phone has previously been used.
The Quad HD display is nice, but you cant really tell any difference from the G2. One feature that has been upgraded from the G2 that I absolutely love, is the laser auto focus. It allows you to take pictures in a split second with amazing quality. Overall, if you have the G2, and want to upgrade to the G3, I would not recommend it. It does have new, upgraded features, but I found that the cons of this phone outweigh the pros.

Best. Phone. Ever.
on September 19, 2016
Posted by: Pandabear
from Los Angeles County, CA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After two years of abuse, my Nexus 5 was still going strong, but when I finally cracked a jagged scar across it's face, I figured it was time to let it go.
I couldn't. So I went online and found the exact same model (this time with twice the storage capacity only because it was the best deal available). I was relieved not to have to deal with another model's "bloat-ware"-infested application drawer or any other limitations on my agency in personalizing my device. The Nexus 5 was/is sturdy, yet sleek, innovative, yet dependable, and aesthetically/technically dynamic, yet boasts a price that would seem to belie those merits.
Then, after a mere five months with my Nexus 2.0 (as I'd deemed it), I cracked that screen even worse. I resigned myself to letting the device go once and for all, figuring the Nexus 5x to be the next best thing. Long story short: I discovered the original cracked Nexus when looking for a box to ship the new(er) one to a buyer,. I'm determined to keep it in play for as long as I can--or at least until I find something that surpasses it in functionality, appearance, and price. It's a trifecta that's tough to match.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing phone, more amazing company

I received my Nexus 5 on 11/08/2013 and am blown away by the quality of the craftsmanship. I am one of the most "techie" guys out there and have in the last 10 months tried all the newest devices.
(Galaxy S4, HTC One, Note 3) This I swear is simply the best. Thank you LG for once again showing others how it should be done.

Great phone and it is definitely smart!

I've been happy with this phone since last December. This phone quickly performs multiple tasks without a hitch, it is comfortable in hand, the resolution is stunning, the colors are vibrant. I was initially apprehensive since there were reviews of the poor build quality; but I've, regrettably, dropped the phone multiple times on hard surfaces from waist height, and the phone has held up very well--there are no noticeable scratches or scuffs, the screen is definitely still intact and functioning beautifully.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

LCD Screen shatters. Expensive repair. No cases
on April 23, 2014
Posted by: ddeisla
from san diego, CA
I was very happy with my Nexus 4, the features were enough for me, I check videos, listen to music and send emails etc. I droped probably 10 times and the screen never shatered on me so basically I was very happy with my nexus 4 this is why i made an upgrade to the 5.
The very first week I was so happy, the phone performs amazingly fast... until I accidentally droped it in concrete about 2 feet height and the LCD screen completely shatered! I was trying to repair it but found out its 170dlls to repair (its a 300dll phone!!!) , Also, theres almost NO CASES AVAILABLE for this phone! and probably won't be because the screen shatters like its nothing.
Word of advise... don't buy this, stay with your nexus 4 unless you are super careful not to drop the phone EVER, even with a case.
