Google this year has studied carefully. Difficult, in fact, believe that the following of rumors and leaked images just a few days away from the sudden announcement (was October 31) Nexus 5 have not been part of a clever marketing strategy with which the company wanted to increase the already high expectation for a new range of smartphones. And when his game was coming into the open, here’s the official press release: The new Nexus produced in collaboration with LG, for the second consecutive year. In short, after Samsung (which remained for the Nexus 10), another South Korean company manages to creep up in the plans of Big G for two years in a row on the first Nexus One, however, has thought HTC and then the paths separated.
immediate success
The launch could not have gone better, took only 15 minutes to deplete stocks in Italy, the 16 GB version, which is this year’s edition standard. Eliminated the 8GB, Big G has preferred to give more space to the user by proposing as a second offer 32 GB of internal storage at a cost of 399 Euros. It is not, however, the only conceptual difference compared to the previous generation, and if you look at the Nexus 5, in fact, you may notice a greater importance given to the multimedia sector: an 8 megapixel sensor, optical image stabilizer and the HDR mode + promise sharper pictures, especially in low light conditions. Although we are not at the levels reached by the technology PureView Nokia, it is a significant leap forward, in particular through the implementation of the optical stabilizer, a must for video recording with low noise and stable. Of course, Google has not forgotten the basic characteristic of any good Nexus: fluidity first. To run the new software, Android 4.4 KitKat with a new launcher (at the time still exclusive to the Nexus 5 despite the upgrade of Nexus Nexus 7 and 10), we think a 800 Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, consisting of a Krait CPU 400 2.26 GHz and a GPU Adreno 330 to 450 MHz, accompanied by 2GB of RAM, the screen diagonal extends up to 4.95 inches while keeping the resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080) and reaching a pixel density equal to 445 ppi. Rounding out the framework of the technical specifications from a 2,300 mAh battery (17 hours of talk time and 7 hours of continuous LTE connection are the official estimates), dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0.
Google also continues what has been done by Motorola with Moto X: thanks to Google Now, the voice commands have been enhanced (the company is about a 25% improvement) and allow you to play with the terminal in a wide spectrum: calls, applications, Web browsing and search are available to everyone with a simple “Ok, Google.”
benchmarks can give an additional context in which to discuss the capabilities of the terminal. Some tests performed with SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark online browser performance pose smartphone from Google and LG only under iPhone 5S and its A7 and 3 Samsung Galaxy Note also comes with a Snadragon 800, with Mozilla Kraken , however, the Nexus 5 drops in fifth place with a score of 8871.7 behind the iPhone 5S, Sony Xperia Z1, LG G2 and Galaxy Note 3.
In about the performance of the integrated video card, however, the benchmarks performed with Basemark X on an “on-screen” Nexus 5 finishes third, behind still to iPhone 5S and Galaxy Note 3, the difference with the latter is However, minimum: 18.1 versus 17.3 (the higher the score the better the position).
What is amazing supply of Mountain View, however, is not the smartphone itself (however high-level) but the competitive price at which it is sold by the Store Play Device (finally available in the Bel Paese): 349 € in 16 GB version. In light of the cost of the most well-known flagship (Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S or the Moto X, for example), the asking price to take home such a terminal is tempting to anyone.
There are however problems
There are, however, been some problems at launch, many have raised the chorus of those who have had problems with the audio speaker, lower than the expectations, there is also an important difference between the songs heard through Google Play and YouTube videos. A disassembly iFixit (which gave the terminal a score of 8/10) showed that despite the two outdoor grills, Nexus 5 is equipped with only one speaker, which could motivate the audio generally lower compared to other terminals, where maybe the placement of internal components had less influence on the final result. However, these minutiae could be resolved by a software update which, in the general framework, they do not undermine the excellent work once again by Google in offering a smartphone high level at an attractive price. Clare is in fact the company policy: internet and smartphones for everyone. It passes right by the diffusion rate.
Despite some rumors in previous weeks had shown an increase compared to what was done in previous years, Big G has remained steadfast on his philosophy. It should be emphasized, however, that the business of the company is focused on services, from social networks to e-mail through Wallet, Currents and the Play Store, and earnings derived from them: why the company has always tried to propose a price high enough to attract many customers despite the sale of hardware genres modest gains.
