Best Nexus phone so far.
First I should say that I'm a phonaphile. I collect cellphones. It's a problem. I HAVE to have every new phone that comes out. I don't know why. The reason I'm telling you this is so you'll know when I say things I have something to compare it to.
This phone is the best Nexus phone so far, hands down. In my opinion its better than the GS4 and HTC One. I know the GS4 has more software features and a slightly better camera. However this phone has a MUCH better build quality than the GS4 and the screen in my opinion is truer in color accuracy and contrast. Now the HTC one is " all aluminum " which is great , but it's also heavier and is a lot slower and more cumbersome because of the Sense UI.
Not to mention this phone has things neither of those phones have. Such as built in wireless charging, photosphere camera, the newest version on Android OS and A snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.6 GHz.
Now this phone has its cons as well. Like the mediocre battery life and the slightly slow camera software. Also The SMS being embedded in hangouts ( which is annoying ). It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to text someone and not Google chat them. Lol
All in all this is a very solid phone and I feel the top Android phone out right now. Of course thats just my opinion. You should buy it and see for yourself.
