a myth that keeps the flow of water about seven years later

In the days of Google Pixel, institutions that reflect Google's concept of what a smartphone should be, we want to remember Google Nexus 5, one of the best terminals in Android history, except for certain points of weakness associated with it since its introduction.

This 2013 phone was sold at a price of 349 euros, which is a competition considering that it had a high processor, a good amount of RAM and ROM (of course) and some portions of multimedia that, although not very bright, were standard.

Stainless steel rubber

Google Nexus 5, unlike other high-end proposals, had no monetization tools. It was made of rubber plastic, which is worth noting too much adhesion, but it is easy to bite the stroke. However, the server unit is not properly maintained after nearly seven years. In fact, personally, it seems to me like a teenager with its distinctive attraction on its back, even though it is beautiful after many years.

The Google Nexus 5 keypad was too small, too small.

The keypad was also clear, attacking how small it was, even though it didn't go that far. The upper part of the device is damaged over time, the result of not using the cover for nearly seven years. With regard to the former, all great frames. The low notification LED was gone, something that had been discarded over the years.

At the screen level we get a 5.0-inch IPS panel and full HD resolution. Its latency was good this time, with a figure followed by that of the iPhone 5s, 75ms, according to Les Numeriques. He lacks transparency and is uncomfortable in his category, mainly due to his problems with the provision of colors too bleedingBut the panel is well worn, with good viewing angles, contrast and sharpness.

Today is a proliferation that is not available on all mobile phones

The highlight of Google's Nexus has been its excesses. At the time, many of us classified it as the most liquid cell phone in the market, and today it is still much wetter than in the average middle-class and entry-level apartment, something that plays a lot to its popularity, over time. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 marked the start of the highway the company trod on at the high end, differentiating itself more than ever from the mid-range and offering a winning performance at the time. 800 series showed how old Android can be, as long as the software is compatible with the set.

Guaranteed performance, after so much wear on the interior, is problematic, so it's not a phone to play for hours or to give it any kind of great use. However, it is mobile that goes well with basic services, long ago, and which still gives that feeling of fullness.

Android 6.0.1 is the life-giving version of the Neus 5, which is outdated and has a security patch from September 2016. Fortunately, It is a mobile with a number of compatible ROMs, so that we can upload to other types with less trouble. Compared to the original ROM, we found far less performance, but that's exactly what made the Nexus 5 shine. Most important was the water saturation, and any work that does not install the ROM can be searched using third-party tools, but never on the basis of the application itself.

Introduced with Android 4.4 KitKat, Nexus 5 is updated by Google, with constant support, far more than any of its competitors, which has taken months and months to update on the latest versions of Android. Material Design fits her perfectly, with a new keypad replacement see which embeds the entire operating system.

At the benchmark level, it should be considered that we are talking about the 2013 mobile. However, far more fluid than the numerical value would indicate. The battery suffered severely over time. In his day it was already difficult to spend three or four hours on the screen, and after seven years the mobile phone can no longer be used easily for more than two hours

Camera inserted in period

Nexus 5, in its latest version of the software, it was a signal that marked Google's HDR lines. The camera improved a lot with the updates and, although not the best on the market, it was consistent. It is currently a camera that falls below the mid range, though the dynamic range is still impressive.

The terminal had only an 8 megapixel camera with a f / 2.4 aperture. It is very light, it gives no spectacular results, but nonetheless it does a good job at the processing level without crushing the texture. Google's performance is always bright, despite having Pixels doing it more than ever, in later years.

On a day we have photos that are acceptable, with no problems to share on social networks. The selfie was somehow injured by the camera as small as 1.3 megapixels, giving serious side effects.

When night arrives, it's amazing that Neus 5 stores the details, does not try to reduce the noise (something that does not allow squashing formation) and, even if the images are not bright, the results are still not too far from today's tax rates.

About 7 years after Neus 5 continues to fall in love

Google Nexus 5 is a mobile phone that can be enjoyed as a daily terminal, primarily due to low battery. However, it is living proof that Android phones can also be active for several years, and maintaining alarming fluidity levels. The Nexus 5 is also a reminder of just how high the compact has been in the last few years, when five inches were standard.

Today is not a competitive option if you look at how the high-end has turned out, but it is undoubtedly a stretch to wipe the cupboard from time to time, remembering that Android phones can also be active for several years, because software is the real key to it, without much explanation.
