Google Nexus 5

The Phone

At the outset, you can see how similar it is to its predecessor, and how much it differs from the device on which it is ostensibly based. While the Nexus 4 shared the same build materials and general design as the LG Optimus G, it would be hard to guess the Nexus 5 shares the same lineage as the G2, though in many ways its hardware is identical.
You’ll immediately notice that it is flatter and more angular than the Nexus 4, and at 8.59mm thickness and 130 grams, it is also thinner and lighter. At the same time, it boasts much-improved specs, including a 4.95-inch 1080p IPS LCD display with Gorilla Glass 3; a Snapdragon 800 SoC clocked at 2.26Ghz, with an Adreno 330 GPU; 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 16-32GB internal storage; an 8MP camera with optical image stabilization and a 1.3MP front-facing camera; a 2300mAh non-removable battery; dual-band WiFi with support for Wireless-AC; and, of course, LTE connectivity on Bands 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41.

Nexus 5 shares the same general design as its predecessor, with a power button on the right side and volume button on the left. This time, though, they are made of a sturdy ceramic that are sure to withstand hundreds of thousands of presses through their lifetimes

On the back, the Nexus logo has been vertically aligned and is much larger, and the material is a rubbery matte plastic that is less prone to slipping off surfaces and ignominiously cracking.
At 69x138mm wide and long respectively, the Nexus 5 is roughly the same width and moderately taller than the Nexus 4. It also feels much nicer in the hand, thanks to a side bezel that shares the same rubbery material as the back. Indeed, this may be the most comfortable 5-inch device on the market.

One relatively unique aspect of the device is its centre-oriented rounded headpiece, which was dissected in the phone’s many leaks without definitive conclusion. In person, it looks fantastic, and its minimalism is overshadowed only by its attention to detail.

The camera interface doesn’t look to have changed too much from the latest version of Jelly Bean, though we’re certain the shutter is more responsive than before.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact – Review Iterative products are just a way of life these days. We get a new slightly updated device every few months, sometimes every six months, sometimes even every year, Sony have mastered the iterative product cycle, releasing new products every six months ensuring they stay current. A manufacturer finds a new niche or use case and sometimes it’s a hit with the consumer, the Sony Z1 Compact was one such phone, for a while to buy a small compact Android device meant you’d have to compromise on specs, build quality and design. A few companies had tried something different but none had really made a success with them. Sony last year decided to offer a high spec device in a small chassis that would appeal to those people who wanted the latest flagship spec and high performance, but didn’t want a huge great 5″+ device that needed two hands to operate. This year they’ve gone...

Nokia Lumia 830

Launched at IFA 2014 and available for just over a week now, here's my review of the new 'Nokia Lumia 830' - if you look very, very closely at the small print, there's mention of 'Microsoft Mobile' (expect future Lumias to have Microsoft much higher in the mix though). Billed as an 'affordable flagship', the 830 does get most of the way to fulfilling this claim, perhaps only falling short at the moment because the software that enables much of its main USP is currently missing in action. Even though I have gently taken the mickey out of Microsoft’s marketing tag line for this, the Nokia Lumia 830 - the 'affordable flagship' - I can see where the company was going here. In fact, Microsoft has made it really easy to analyse, in that the Lumia 930, the previous ‘flagship’, which I reviewed here on AAWP, is so similar in so many ways, and yet more restricted in some aspects. Have a look at this table of differences and you'll...
