LG Google Nexus 5

  • Worth it pa po ba kumuha ng bnew na nexus 5? Tia! :)


    I don't think it is worth it to get a new Nexus 5, since Google has already released the Nexus 5x and 6p. From the reviews online, the camera seems superb and very sharp even at 100% crop and the battery is a huge upgrade from the mediocre Nexus 5.

    I just hope suppliers do bring them here without overpricing the item.

  • guys bago lang ako sa nexus 5. Napansin ko di nagana autofocus assist led sa low light pag 3rd party camera. Pero sa built in nagana (e.g. Google Camera)...
  • sobrang nag improve yung battery life ng Nexus 5 ko nung nag marshmallow. ang saya!


    balak ko na sanang mag 5x or 6p. pero ok na ako ulit dito sa Nexus 5. hehehe.
  • @amnher try "snap camera"
  • @ej8989
    sa snap camera minsan nagana minsan hindi. Gusto ko kasi magmanual controls. pero asana my autofocus assist led sa low light hirap kasi magfocus
  • Currently own a Nexus 5x. Here are some feedback after a few days:

    -There is a wifi bug or just incorrect battery reporting (I will have to check white with GSAM).
    -My usage is from 5am to 10pm with 3 to 4 hours of screen on time, light to medium usage (no gaming). I turn on my data at 7A and turn it off at 9P (mix use LTE/HSPA+)
    -LTE using 5x is a huge battery drainer, I use HSPA+ most of the time for standby.
    -I turn off Google Now and only sync contacts.
    -I only use Viber for internet messaging no Facebook app.
    -Battery is quite disappointing or I'm just used to HTC One M8 and Moto G 3rd Gen's excellent battery (6 hours screen on time)
    -Snapdragon 808 heats up on heavy usage like downloading and installing apps
    -Loudspeaker sounds bland, even Moto G has a better sounding bass. Audio-Out is terrible too, but way better than the original Nexus 5.
    -You can't turn off the system encryption, it sometimes slows the phone down, especially when you are watching FHD/UHD movies using your internal storage.
    -Camera is excellent as advertised. People claim Samsung's quality is better but when you transfer the image to a computer, Nexus' image is way sharper and natural. It's probably just an illusion due to Samsung's AMOLED screen.
    -Motion ambient display works only on a 75 degree angle, not like Motorola's ambient display responsiveness on subtle motion, which might be good or bad, no accidental turning on of screen. And, there's a LED notification too!
    -Reviewers say the body feels cheap due to its plastic build. I'd say it's very solid it's just light which is actually good. And, yes I came from HTC One!
    -At 5.2inch the form factor is actually big. It feels and looks bigger than the HTC One M8, I feel like I am holding an Oppo Find 7 phone.
    -The fingerprint reader is spot-on.
    -Other than the battery and heat, it's a perfect phone. I hope Google sends update to fix the inconsistent battery. Standby is GREAT, but usage sucks!

  • @DON2003

    I'm on Cataclysm 6.0 and stock kernel. Okay ang battlife and performance.

    Kung gagamit ka ng custom kernel para sa D2W dagdag pa yan sa battery drain.

    as per back to stock madali lang yan kasi anjan naman yung mga flashable zips and nexus tool kit.
  • pa suggest naman po ng iba pang case para sa nexus 5. gamit ko ngayon slim armor kaso mejo nalalakihan ako. gusto ko sana ung slim type lang or much better kung clear case (hard case). saka paturo na din kung saan mga stores makakabili. thanks
  • slim tpu case na lang 150-200 lang meron na
  • nillkin case soft touch back.
  • @jtiro

    gamit ka bumper case tapos palagyan mo ng sticker ang likod. mas magandag hawakan. :D
  • parang madalang kasi ung case natin. pag nagtatanong ako sa mga shops laging wala or d nila alam. 0_0
  • @jtiro

    Ako nga sa online nakabili ng rubber bumper case.

    try mo sa my quiapo sir sa taas.
  • Guys patulong naman. Di ko mapagana headset button ko sa Nexus 5. Bali naka marshmallow na sya. Dati kasi sa Z1 at S5 ko nagagamit ko headset button pang play or pause ng music pati sa mga selfie pod kasi tru headset jack nakasaksak pero dito ayaw sa Nexus 5. Wala response
  • sino dito naka tempered glass sa nexus 5? ok ba siya? normal na screen protector lang kasi gamit ko. ty
  • meron exact fit na tempered glass for nexus 5, wag yon mga cheap generic like
  • anong magandang brand saka nasa magkano un? balak ko magpalit kasi. hehe
  • San service center nitong LG?
    Sadly my Nexus 5 died. :P
  • I agree sa build quality ng 5x, way better than what most reviewers are saying. Cheap? They're saying that because most people nowadays are used to Glass and Aluminum. I try my best not to use LTE pero nababagalan na kasi ako sa HSDPA. So yes, masyadong mabilis ma low batt pero I think this is an Android problem, overall.

    However, for the camera, I don't agree that the photos from 5x are sharper compared to S6, even when transferred to computer. S6 still has a better camera. Even other reviews online show side by side, the photos taken from 5x and S6 and other phones, and better pa din S6 sa 5X.
  • Had to retire my Nexus 5. Mahina na battery tapos nung nagpa-tint ako ng V-Kool, minsan bumibitaw yung GPS. Kelangan ko pa naman pag nag travel.

    Replaced it with an S7 from Globe via recontracting. Miss ko pa rin yung ease mag mod sa mga Nexus devices. Madali mag root, at mag revert if needed. Sa Samsung, olats. May Knox kasi. Sayang naman warranty pag nag root. Haay.
  • kapag nexus user ka and mahilig ka mgflash ng rom yun talaga ang mamimiss mo. hahaha
  • hmm..

    <click here for link>
  • San kaya makakabili nang housing nang nexus 5? Durog na phone ko. Lol
  • Meron ba ditong nagbebenta ng lumang nexus 5?
    Kelangan ko lang ung screen.. nabasag na yung akin :(
  • sold my Nexus 5, paalam na sa thread na ito, maraming salamat po!
