Co-developed with and marketed by Google Inc. as part of its Nexus line of flagship devices and unveiled on October 31 , 2013 , it is a successor to the Nexus 4 . Nexus 5 served as the launch device for Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' , which introduced a refreshed interface , performance improvements , increased Google Now integration , better battery life and other features . The Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews , praising the device 's balance of overall performance and cost in comparison to other `` flagship '' phones , along with the quality of its display and some of the changes introduced by Android 4.4 . The display was , however , criticized for being too dim in comparison to other devices , and the camera was criticized for having inconsistent quality . Contents ( hide ) 1 Release 2 Specifications 2.1 Hardware 2.2 Software 3 Reception 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Release ( edit ) The device was unveiled on October 31 , 2013 ; it was made available for pre-order from Google Play Store the same day in 16 GB and 32 GB models . When released , the Nexus 5 was priced at US $349 ( 16 GB version ) and US $399 ( 32 GB version ) in the US . This was much lower than comparable smartphones , which would cost around $649 . As of 11 March 2015 , the Nexus 5 is no longer available from Google Play Store . Specifications ( edit ) Hardware ( edit ) Back , front and side view of a black Nexus 5 The exterior of the Nexus 5 is made from a polycarbonate shell with similarities to the 2013 version of Nexus 7 , unlike its predecessor that uses a glass - based construction . Three exterior colors are available : black , white and red . Its hardware contains similarities to the LG G2 ; it is powered by a 2.26 GHz quad - core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2 GB of RAM , either 16 or 32 GB of internal storage , and a 2300 mAh battery . The Nexus 5 uses a 4.95 - inch ( marketed as 5 - inch ) 445 PPI 1080p IPS display , and includes an 8 - megapixel rear - facing camera with optical image stabilization ( OIS ) , and a 1.3 - megapixel front - facing camera . The Nexus 5 supports LTE networks where available , unlike the Nexus 4 which unofficially supported LTE on AWS Band 4 only with a hidden software option , but was not formally approved or marketed for any LTE use . There are two variants of the Nexus 5 , with varying support for cellular frequency bands ; one is specific to North America ( LG - D820 ) , and the other is designed for the rest of the world ( LG - D821 ) . Notable new hardware features also include two new composite sensors : a step detector and a step counter . These new sensors allow applications to easily track steps when the user is walking , running , or climbing stairs . Both sensors are implemented in hardware for low power consumption . Like its predecessors , the Nexus 5 does not have a microSD card slot , while it features a multi-color LED notification light . There are two grills present on the lower edge of the Nexus 5 : one is for the mono speaker and the other is for the microphone . Software ( edit ) Main article : Android ( operating system ) Nexus 5 , LG - D821 model ( international ) The Nexus 5 was the first Android device to ship with Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' , which had a refreshed interface , improved performance , improved NFC support ( such as the ability to emulate a smart card ) , a new `` HDR+ '' camera shooting mode , native printing functionality , a screen recording utility , and other new and improved functionality . The device also shipped with Google Now Launcher , a redesigned home screen which allows users to quickly access Google Now on a dedicated page , and allows voice search to be activated on the home screen with a voice command . Unlike the stock home screen , Google Now Launcher is not a component of Android itself ; it is implemented as part of the Google Search application . Until 26 February 2014 , when it was released on Google Play Store for selected Android 4.4 devices , Google Now Launcher was exclusively shipped by default on the Nexus 5 , and was not enabled in Android 4.4 updates for any other Nexus device . While an update to the Google Search application containing Google Now Launcher ( which itself was tweaked to improve compatibility with other devices as well ) was publicly released shortly after the Nexus 5 's release , the launcher itself could not at the time be enabled without installing a second shim application . Hangouts , which now supports text messaging , is used as the default text messaging application . In December 2013 , the Nexus 5 began receiving the Android 4.4. 1 update , which fixed issues with auto focus , white balance , HDR+ and other camera issues , while introducing some other camera issues for low - light scenes . It also fixes low speaker volume output in certain applications . Android 4.4. 2 update followed in a few days , providing further bugfixes and security improvements . In early June 2014 , the Nexus 5 received Android 4.4. 3 update that included dozens of bug fixes , while another mid-June 2014 Android 4.4. 4 update included a fix for an OpenSSL man - in - the - middle vulnerability . A developer preview of the Android 5.0 `` Lollipop '' system image was released for the Nexus 5 after the annual Google I / O conference held on June 26 , 2014 . The release version of Android 5.0 `` Lollipop '' was made available on November 12 , 2014 , in form of factory operating system images . On December 15 , 2014 Android 5.0. 1 `` Lollipop '' update began rolling out to Nexus 5 with build number LRX22C , the update was listed as being `` miscellaneous Android updates . '' In March 2015 , the Nexus 5 began receiving the Android 5.1 `` Lollipop '' update , which addresses performance issues and other user interface tweaks ; however , it is known to introduce certain camera issues . In June 2015 , Google made the Android 5.1. 1 `` Lollipop '' update available for Nexus 5 aiming to fix the bugs that were not fixed by Android 5.1 update . In May 2015 , a developer preview of Android Marshmallow was made available for the Nexus 5 . In November 2015 , Nexus 5 started receiving Android 6.0 `` Marshmallow '' update across the world . Following which Nexus 5 became one of the first devices to get an Android 6.0. 1 Marshmallow update in December 2015 . In August 2016 , Google confirmed that , the Nexus 5 will not receive an official Android 7.0 Nougat update , meaning that Android 6.0. 1 Marshmallow is the last officially supported Android version for the device . Reception ( edit ) The Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews ; critics felt that the device provided a notable balance between performance and pricing . Although noting nuances with its display , such as its color reproduction and low maximum brightness in comparison to competitors , CNET praised software features such as the new phone dialer interface and Google Now integration on the home screen , but did not believe KitKat provided many major changes over its predecessors . Hangouts as the default text messaging app was criticized for its user interface and for attempting to force the use of a Google service , while the quality of photos taken with the device was described as being `` great , but it did n't particularly blow me away . '' In conclusion , the Nexus 5 was given a 4 out of 5 , concluding that `` to even compare this $400 phone to those that cost upward of $650 unlocked ( like the Samsung Galaxy S4 , HTC One , and Apple iPhone 5S ) speaks volumes about the Nexus 5 's massive appeal and affordability '' , and that the device `` extends the allure of the Nexus brand to anyone simply looking for an excellent yet inexpensive handset . '' Engadget was similarly positive , but noted that the device 's LTE support was lacking , as its supported bands are segregated across two model variants , and does not support Verizon Wireless . While praised for its crisp quality , it was noted that the display did not render colors ( particularly black and white ) as richly as the Galaxy S4 , but added that `` if you think saturated colors are overrated anyway , you 're going to love the display here . '' While considered an improvement over the Nexus 4 , the device 's battery life was criticized for not being as good as its competitors , and the quality of its camera was considered to be inconsistent . In conclusion , Engadget argued that `` whether or not it was the company 's intent , Google is sending a message to smartphone makers that it 's possible to make high - quality handsets without costing consumers the proverbial arm and leg . Now we just wait and see if that message will be warmly received . '' Compared to the LG G2 which was released earlier and shares the same manufacturer and much of the same hardware , the Nexus 5 has a lower - quality rear camera and smaller battery to hit a cheaper price point . However , Nexus 5 has been touted as a clean Android software alternative with the added advantage of running the latest Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' .

Co-developed with and marketed by Google Inc. as part of its Nexus line of flagship devices and unveiled on October 31 , 2013 , it is a successor to the Nexus 4 . Nexus 5 served as the launch device for Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' , which introduced a refreshed interface , performance improvements , increased Google Now integration , better battery life and other features . The Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews , praising the device 's balance of overall performance and cost in comparison to other `` flagship '' phones , along with the quality of its display and some of the changes introduced by Android 4.4 . The display was , however , criticized for being too dim in comparison to other devices , and the camera was criticized for having inconsistent quality . The device was unveiled on October 31 , 2013 ; it was made available for pre-order from Google Play Store the same day in 16 GB and 32 GB models . When released , the Nexus 5 was priced at US $349 ( 16 GB version ) and US $399 ( 32 GB version ) in the US . This was much lower than comparable smartphones , which would cost around $649 . As of 11 March 2015 , the Nexus 5 is no longer available from Google Play Store . The exterior of the Nexus 5 is made from a polycarbonate shell with similarities to the 2013 version of Nexus 7 , unlike its predecessor that uses a glass - based construction . Three exterior colors are available : black , white and red . Its hardware contains similarities to the LG G2 ; it is powered by a 2.26 GHz quad - core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2 GB of RAM , either 16 or 32 GB of internal storage , and a 2300 mAh battery . The Nexus 5 uses a 4.95 - inch ( marketed as 5 - inch ) 445 PPI 1080p IPS display , and includes an 8 - megapixel rear - facing camera with optical image stabilization ( OIS ) , and a 1.3 - megapixel front - facing camera . The Nexus 5 supports LTE networks where available , unlike the Nexus 4 which unofficially supported LTE on AWS Band 4 only with a hidden software option , but was not formally approved or marketed for any LTE use . There are two variants of the Nexus 5 , with varying support for cellular frequency bands ; one is specific to North America ( LG - D820 ) , and the other is designed for the rest of the world ( LG - D821 ) . Notable new hardware features also include two new composite sensors : a step detector and a step counter . These new sensors allow applications to easily track steps when the user is walking , running , or climbing stairs . Both sensors are implemented in hardware for low power consumption . Like its predecessors , the Nexus 5 does not have a microSD card slot , while it features a multi-color LED notification light . There are two grills present on the lower edge of the Nexus 5 : one is for the mono speaker and the other is for the microphone . The Nexus 5 was the first Android device to ship with Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' , which had a refreshed interface , improved performance , improved NFC support ( such as the ability to emulate a smart card ) , a new `` HDR+ '' camera shooting mode , native printing functionality , a screen recording utility , and other new and improved functionality . The device also shipped with Google Now Launcher , a redesigned home screen which allows users to quickly access Google Now on a dedicated page , and allows voice search to be activated on the home screen with a voice command . Unlike the stock home screen , Google Now Launcher is not a component of Android itself ; it is implemented as part of the Google Search application . Until 26 February 2014 , when it was released on Google Play Store for selected Android 4.4 devices , Google Now Launcher was exclusively shipped by default on the Nexus 5 , and was not enabled in Android 4.4 updates for any other Nexus device . While an update to the Google Search application containing Google Now Launcher ( which itself was tweaked to improve compatibility with other devices as well ) was publicly released shortly after the Nexus 5 's release , the launcher itself could not at the time be enabled without installing a second shim application . Hangouts , which now supports text messaging , is used as the default text messaging application . In December 2013 , the Nexus 5 began receiving the Android 4.4. 1 update , which fixed issues with auto focus , white balance , HDR+ and other camera issues , while introducing some other camera issues for low - light scenes . It also fixes low speaker volume output in certain applications . Android 4.4. 2 update followed in a few days , providing further bugfixes and security improvements . In early June 2014 , the Nexus 5 received Android 4.4. 3 update that included dozens of bug fixes , while another mid-June 2014 Android 4.4. 4 update included a fix for an OpenSSL man - in - the - middle vulnerability . A developer preview of the Android 5.0 `` Lollipop '' system image was released for the Nexus 5 after the annual Google I / O conference held on June 26 , 2014 . The release version of Android 5.0 `` Lollipop '' was made available on November 12 , 2014 , in form of factory operating system images . On December 15 , 2014 Android 5.0. 1 `` Lollipop '' update began rolling out to Nexus 5 with build number LRX22C , the update was listed as being `` miscellaneous Android updates . '' In March 2015 , the Nexus 5 began receiving the Android 5.1 `` Lollipop '' update , which addresses performance issues and other user interface tweaks ; however , it is known to introduce certain camera issues . In June 2015 , Google made the Android 5.1. 1 `` Lollipop '' update available for Nexus 5 aiming to fix the bugs that were not fixed by Android 5.1 update . In May 2015 , a developer preview of Android Marshmallow was made available for the Nexus 5 . In November 2015 , Nexus 5 started receiving Android 6.0 `` Marshmallow '' update across the world . Following which Nexus 5 became one of the first devices to get an Android 6.0. 1 Marshmallow update in December 2015 . In August 2016 , Google confirmed that , the Nexus 5 will not receive an official Android 7.0 Nougat update , meaning that Android 6.0. 1 Marshmallow is the last officially supported Android version for the device . The Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews ; critics felt that the device provided a notable balance between performance and pricing . Although noting nuances with its display , such as its color reproduction and low maximum brightness in comparison to competitors , CNET praised software features such as the new phone dialer interface and Google Now integration on the home screen , but did not believe KitKat provided many major changes over its predecessors . Hangouts as the default text messaging app was criticized for its user interface and for attempting to force the use of a Google service , while the quality of photos taken with the device was described as being `` great , but it did n't particularly blow me away . '' In conclusion , the Nexus 5 was given a 4 out of 5 , concluding that `` to even compare this $400 phone to those that cost upward of $650 unlocked ( like the Samsung Galaxy S4 , HTC One , and Apple iPhone 5S ) speaks volumes about the Nexus 5 's massive appeal and affordability '' , and that the device `` extends the allure of the Nexus brand to anyone simply looking for an excellent yet inexpensive handset . '' Engadget was similarly positive , but noted that the device 's LTE support was lacking , as its supported bands are segregated across two model variants , and does not support Verizon Wireless . While praised for its crisp quality , it was noted that the display did not render colors ( particularly black and white ) as richly as the Galaxy S4 , but added that `` if you think saturated colors are overrated anyway , you 're going to love the display here . '' While considered an improvement over the Nexus 4 , the device 's battery life was criticized for not being as good as its competitors , and the quality of its camera was considered to be inconsistent . In conclusion , Engadget argued that `` whether or not it was the company 's intent , Google is sending a message to smartphone makers that it 's possible to make high - quality handsets without costing consumers the proverbial arm and leg . Now we just wait and see if that message will be warmly received . '' Compared to the LG G2 which was released earlier and shares the same manufacturer and much of the same hardware , the Nexus 5 has a lower - quality rear camera and smaller battery to hit a cheaper price point . However , Nexus 5 has been touted as a clean Android software alternative with the added advantage of running the latest Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' .
