This generation of nexus basically made google camera what it is today. At launch photos from an 8 MP camera with a basic app were pretty bad even at the time, but a few months after, Google released the first Google Camera app with enchanced photo processing and HDR. Overnight it became one of the best phones for photos. Pixels photography lineage stems from Nexus 5. Nexus 5 was in all the app screenshot mockups for so many years, and even now it's used from time to time. The front with the bowing top and bottom edges, really thin bezels, coloured round speaker, and an RGB notification light at the bottom is so iconic. And don't forget that it was one of the first phones with a 1080p display, and had a magnetic alignment for Qi charging in 2014. FLAC support made it a great music player, and this was the time android went from Dalvik to ART! Oh, and there also was Cardboard, which was a cheap way to experience 360 videos and some basic VR with your phone. Google Now (RIP, best google newsfeed) and Assistant debuted on it. This phone was a testbed for so many improvements to android as we know today, that it can't be anywhere but S tier. Imagine if a Pixel 5 would have given us a major (2-4x) photo improvement, optimised a core software component or even went away from virtualization entirely, and unlocked a new information medium like AR on it's own. You can't underestimate the legend that is the Nexus 5.

Right there with you. I’m really confused by this list. The oldest devices went to the top purely out of nostalgia, and meanwhile the Nexus 5-sitting right in the peak era of the Nexus line, sporting one of the rare iconic non-Apple smartphone designs, and becoming one of the default phone models used in advertising, manuals, and anything else that needed a stand in “phone”-gets a lousy B tier. That thing was absolutely beautiful. They did it so dirty.

The Nexus 5 was the only phone they nailed. Very fast, 32gb aviable, wireless charging, timeless design, rubber exterior you could use without case no problem. Peak rom and mod support. Still lacked in battery life, camera and speaker but thats to expect from a phone in that price range. Used it from 2014 to 2017. Older Nexus devices always had the problem of being limited in storage, because the biggest versions where 16gb. Also the phones after the Nexus 5 where just incredible expensive and quality wasn't really that great. Nexus 6 of a friend had massive burn in issues on the display, Nexus 5x had the bootloop issue and Nexus 6p was the first foldable phone by google.

Having the Zenfone 10 is the closest I've gotten to the feeling of having the Nexus 5 I loved so much. Double the big camera housing, sure, but a nice smaller size with soft-edged plastic back and flat sides. It's also just as infuriatingly quirky in negative ways but I still love the form factor like I loved the Nexus 5.

Put some respect on Nexus 5! Up to this point every Android had an aura of desperation surrounding it. Manufacturers were doing whatever they could to beat the big bad iPhone. HTC made a 3d display, Samsung put in a heartbeat sensor, Motorola had 26 colors, Nokia a 48megapixel camera. Everyone was trying something and it was even worse on the software side. Bloatware up to the eyeballs, tacky fonts and endless other options to ruin your phone being added daily. It was awful. The Nexus 5 stood apart in that it was clean and simple. It didn't have anything to proove. To me this was the first phone to proove that Apple was mortal like the rest of us. Steve was dead and Apple's grip was slipping. This phone was able to do everything the iPhone did and more, for half the price. Exterior. Browse around the Play Store and you'll still see the Nexus being used as the model to this day. The front had no logos, buttons or odd shapes. The story continues on the back. This might have been the first matte black phone ever. Every other phone from that era had some tacky plastic design like carbon fiber or fake leather. Software. The thing that really pushed this phone into legendary territory is the software. This was the first phone to get Androids material design and proudly held the title of being a phone with stock Android. This phone showed everyone that Android had grown up.

These are so nostalgic for me. I had a friend in high-school that had a Nexus One and I thought it was so cool how they had a "Google Phone."

This video is so nostalgic! I used to own a Nexus 5, then Nexus 5X, and I loved them so much even with all of their flaws.

The Huawei Nexus 6P has been my favourite phone ever. Broke my heart when they didn't come out with the 7P! It was also the phone that got me into my hobby & addiction, photography. And the photos it took are still some of my favorites.

I remember being a teenager and spending half my time on XDA. To many of us these Nexus devices were highly coveted and you'd be lucky if you managed to get one (thanks Google for still not figuring out worldwide availability all these years later...) . It feels so weird seeing them like this almost a decade later as ancient devices being ranked. I still can't see some of them in an "old device light" like I can with other devices.

Oh wow this brings me back... The Galaxy Nexus was my first Android phone after using an iPhone for a few years. I absolutely loved that phone. I kept getting Nexus phones nearly every year after that. I really miss those days. I remember preordering the Nexus 4 the day it dropped, but I was down the shore that day helping clean up a town after Hurricane Sandy. I took a break at 1pm to put in my preorder, and internet was so spotty that I was worried my order wouldn't go through. I have to agree though that the Nexus 6P was absolutely the best of the bunch. I probably won't go so far as to say it's the best phone ever made, but it's definitely the best phone Google has ever designed.

I broke the screen on my Nexus 4 and sold it, still regret doing that to this day. I also won a Nexus 7 from a Key Master machine at a movie theatre. I’ll always love those devices.

Fully agree with Miles' reaction on the Nexus 10. It got everything right from a practical use point. 16:9 screen ratio, perfect for streaming videos, which is what I use a tablet for 99% of the time. Highest pixel density in a tablet back then if I remember right. 2x massive front facing speakers.

i used both the 5 and 6P. Those were the good old days. The 6P camera was insane. I now use the 15 Pro but that 6P camera at that time was just something. Lightning in bottle.

I got the 5X like a day after it started shipping (I wanted the oled on the 6p but it was bigger and expensive). I got it repaired after it started boot looping (2 year warranty). I upgraded and would occasionally get it out to use it. One day it died and I said "Rest in peace" but it came back to life when I tried to boot it up again a bit later and it still works to this day. This phone still feels great to hold and use without a case, they should refresh it with a bigger screen and new mid range internals.

What a memory trip! I had the Nexus 5X. It was a good phone for the price. The camera was awesome too. So good, my brother decided to get one too. Sadly the battery got worse quickly and the SOT was bad and it had this manufacture error, where the phone got bootloop and eventually bricked itself. This happened to my brother and me.
