The Google Nexus 5: The Bold, The Smart, The Affordable.

Google has done it again! It did it with the Nexus 4 and now it has done it with the Nexus 5. The extremely powerful, extremely affordable (manufactured by LG)Nexus 5 has been out for some time now and everyone's loving it! Not only because it's powered by the latest high end hardware, but also because of it's extremely affordable price. It is the best phone (in terms of hardware) under Rs 30,000.

The Nexus 5 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad Core processor clocked at 2.23 GHZ along with Adreno 330 @ 450 MHZ. The 4.95 inch IPS full HD Display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The RAM is the same 2 GB. The 8 MP camera now supports HDR+,Photo Sphere, 360° view(also available in previous Nexus phones)  besides other standard featues like Auto focus, OIS and Full HD video recording. The secondary camera is a 1.3 MP one. Connectivity options include 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, GPS, Wifi ac/a/b/g/n, Bluetooth v4 and NFC along with built in wireless charging. Google promises a 17 hour talk time (2G) before the 2300 mAH battery reaches 0%. Proximity, Ambient light and Pressure sensors along with compass are also featured. The phone comes pre loaded with Android 4.4 KitKat.

This phone is a beast and can handle whatever you throw at it. The Snapdragon 800 is the best SOC right now and phones costing around Rs 45000 are powered by it, but Google decided to include it into it's  Nexus 5 and price it competitively. The best piece of hardware at such prize is difficult to find. The Nexus phones have an advantage: They are the first to receive the latest Android OS updates. Also, they are priced unbelievably and are powered by the best and latest hardware available in  market.

The Nexus 5 retails at around Rs. 29900 (16 GB) online.

This is one phone I strongly recommend if you want to spend 30K and get the (close to, if not best) best phone around.
