GREAT REVIEW AND UNBOXING WITH EVERY SINGLE DETAIL THAT IS WHAT WE ALL VIEWER EXPECT TO SEE.

[@LorisAyoub]

[@StewartCAlastair]

I don't buy any phones or tablets until I've studied your in depth reviews. Thanks!

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks, that's great to hear!

One of the most honest and probably the best review I have seen on the nexus 5 so far. Great job.... And subscribed.

[@cactustweeter2890]

One of the most thorough reviews of the Nexus 5 I've watched. Nice job.

[@hoodafukisalice]

Impressive and comprehensive review! You've won yourself a viewer :-) Keep up the good work.

[@QuickFlash111]

In DetroitBORG we trust

[@hazzer1021]

Love the taking pictures while recording function. Very simple but extremely effective!

[@blessesme555]

Thank you for putting ALL the great info into a less than 30mins juicy video. unlike the rest, breaking theirs to a few separate videos.

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks, like you I prefer to have it all in one go.

[@chrisjoe3290]

simplicity icon pack by vogel icons is going to look so good on this phone.

[@MisterSam519]

I prefer the white color

[@HPhenomenal]

you racist

[@hybro8]

i think the white ear piece on the top would drive me crazy lol

[@Haik0]

Dean Spence so as me

[@JohnEapen77]

One of the most comprehensive Nexus 5 reviews I've had to date - you've put everything a potential buyer needs to know - awesome job. The black one definitely looks better and won't show as much dirt in the long run. I just bought the new Nexus 7 2013 tab and am replacing my BB 9900 with the Nexus 5 - black would keep tab and new phone matched color wise.

[@ShawnieBoii21]

Big thumbs up for having unboxing + review in same video!

[@GameLeaderMX]

I was an iPhone fan but Android devices look better, especially the Nexus 5

[@divyamrana3224]

Which one to take white or black??

[@geeeson]

this is the best review of the nexus 5 i've seen so far - and i've seen alot :) you covered everything i was wondering about. thx!

[@AltedTech]

Yes! His review is here!

[@florianadoumasse7808]

Very nice and accurate comparison! Definetly, the black one is the better choice finally. Can't stand the glossy black on the sides!

[@KemAlimole]

I'm getting a black one for my fiancee too. I love this phone.

[@florianadoumasse7808]

Oh i see but what will become the nexus 4? Maybe a developer edition right? Lol

[@KemAlimole]

Yeah. I'll use it just for coding.

[@BloxiflyDiscord]

and then I got a

[@BloxiflyDiscord]

LOL

[@136yomyheat]

Hey does any one know which place is the best place to buy a nexus 5 please reply thanks:)

[@dqwerty3]

google play

[@dqwerty3]

i mean googleplay.com

[@TheMusketITuckedIt204]

dqwerty3 If you want to wait 2-3 weeks, I got tired of waiting so I canceled and ordered one off of another site.

[@3GSDANIEL]

You make the best Reviews/unboxing really high Quality

[@ArnelZapataJr]

Fantastic breakdown sir. Like the white since it shows more attitude than just plain back. My N5 is coming today, so I'm one happy man.

[@FLASHING9]

Are these phones laggy? do they scratch fast? etc...i have an iPhone 5 and i want to replace it for christmas with one of these phones: iPhone 5s;Samsung note2;Nexus 5. Witch one would you get?

[@DetroitBORG]

The Nexus 5 can exhibit some lag which might be an optimization issue with the latest version of Android, but it's by far the best Android experience with regard to speed and performance of the OS. The iPhone 5s is virtually lag free, but iOS 7 can feel a bit slower thanks to the animations. The Note 2 is horribly laggy from my personal experience.

[@FLASHING9]

:O omg Thank you Man! i cant belive you just respond to my comment :O im watching ur videos for almost 2 years! :D i think il just stay with my iPhone5 untill iPhone 6 is coming next year :) Have a Good day Michael!

[@yoopyeep2706]

his is it possible it has a snapdragon 800 and it's the same speed or faster then the iPhone 5s at least from what i read

[@DevanshuMevada]

If u want new versions of android come quickly in ur phone go 4 nexus 5 ( google promises atleast 18 months of updates) or if u r ios fan #iPhone5s will do good as the device is quite in need in the market

[@stellina4everful]

Devanshu Mevada Excuse me Devanshu , u mean that after 18 months the nexus 5 will not receive updates anymore? Thanks

[@IsakDombestein]

HAHA!!!HILLARIOUS! I HAVE STOCK ANDROID ON MY GS4, AQND WHEN YOU SAID "OK GOOGLE" IT TRIGGERED IT ON MY PHONE!!!!!.

[@SaadSoCal]

Great review, Mike. Didn't even have to finish watching the whole video and decided it was totally worth buying and ordered it :). Thanks!

[@rabellogp]

Best Nexus5 review I've seen until now!

[@MoonrockFall2]

This phone is sexy.

[@ajitbassan]

white!!!!

[@PikaRants0414]

Great review as always @DetroitBORG!! And I love your dogs! :

[@gaymafiakingpin]

Finally, someone's done a video that actually shows me the things that I wanted to see. Thank you! I'm still not sure if I want white or black, though.

[@Frosty_357]

Better than Samsung galaxy series.

[@zachcline7555]

No its not

[@qymzy31]

Nexus better

[@JamarD421]

In terms of features, no. Uodates, yes.

[@GeethmaAthukorala]

U must be very rich

[@LookItIsHope]

He isn't rich. He just gets all of these devices to unbox them and to review them, like most KZbinrs.

[@starkid20]

as always, the most thorough review and insights from DetroitBORG. thanks a million ! and I prefer the black after hearing about the materials differences

[@JonnyGuns]

Such a great review. Will be getting the wife the white one. Thank you for the awesome editing/thought process that you put into this. Ace!

[@techreviews6261]

2.3Ghz QuadCore and still has lag 20:51

[@FarouqJanmohamed]

what do you think is gonna happen? did u see how many apps he had running... its not really a big deal.

[@Reverate]

Most likely because the phone was doing a quick refresh of the page to make sure all the information was up to date. Would you prefer the screen to go grey in that time like it does on your pc and you would just have to wait for it to load? Also, this method probably saves on network downloads as it will only re-download images which need to be updated (albeit some phones do store a cache to view the webpage when not connected to the internet)

[@TheRoyalking761]

***** true, I have iPhone 5 and it lags like a bitch

[@igotcookies698]

WOW so much lag (not)

[@muhammadawaisbhatti8991]

Great Video Mike. Keep up the Good Work

[@davidhammett9360]

Very well covered review, by far the best I've seen in terms of quality of information, as well as covering all the bases. Thank you sir.

[@DCgaming55]

Love your videos! Helped me so much and made me want to go out and buy the black one. It so light and fast

The most complete review out there. thanks

[@WengChanPowerBookx]

The best unboxing, comparison with black and white!

[@antrikikin]

Great in-depth review. I picked up the 32gb black model. Love the matte finish. The white looks nice as well.

[@ADelGallegoH]

Man i love your reviews! Keep it up! Greetings from Colombia

[@matteozanetti8871]

All of your videos are AMAZING

[@asta88]

YES FINALLY! thx for uploading this

[@OtakuJavier]

Amazing video, i like to watch them in my free time, and see all the phones that aren't coming to Chile :C But is somehow funny to see them working and the unboxing and all that. Keep the good work ;)

[@khans236]

you are very great man u have shown all thing to impress well done!!! keeping on going like such way...

[@MrApple2205]

The black model looks just awesome!

[@mukeshathul]

hey Borg was waiting for your review and now i can decide on buying this phone....the black looks very premium and awesome....thank you :)

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Nice thanks for the video! Getting me a Nexus 5 in February since were cutting the phone land line here at the house. :)

[@TheMaestro961]

KitKat looks SO good. I can't wait to have this phone in my hands

[@r083r73h]

Beautiful little dog you have there Michael.

[@JoSie4335]

Excellent review! Well done

[@marumarku3314]

You are the best!!!!! I hope you keep doing videos!!! Thanks a lot!

[@matteozanetti8871]

After watching this video for the first time I fell in love with nexus 5 and I got one for Christmas

[@giosimo87]

One of the best review that i have see

[@burntwafflz]

Superb review Mike (as usual). I can ALWAYS trust your reviews!! Thank you very much sir.

[@runfentonrun]

Awesome review Mike!!!

[@ivanlinares]

Very nice review. Congratulations! :)

[@bkitsonbk]

I have never bought a bad device because of you, thanks!

[@BoltEntertainment]

Review was brill pretty much sealed the deal think i need one of these thanks

[@docshefs]

Just bought a Nexus 5 white colour ...just because I like white :):):) now I am wondering whether I should have brought black !!!! Thank you for sharing the information about this phone.

[@DMonZ1988]

you missed out the new photo editor and the screen record features new to kitkat. they are among the bigger changes in my opinion. always good to hear your opinion though, good video as always. thanx very much :)

[@TheNexusGen]

Only gripe: it's photosphere, not sphere mode. Other than that, these reviews are some of the best available, especially for depth and clarity (voice and content). Keep them coming

[@zeezeebo]

Thanks for a very good review!

[@MmJAVImM]

Best Nexus 5 review I ever seen! Thanks!! :D

[@DetroitBORG]

Glad to hear it, thanks!

[@Wanted797]

Like you Mike I think I like the black version. It looks more seamless while the white with the black front looks a bit of a slapped together idea.

[@neils.983]

The matte black looks good. I'm sure it feels good in the hands

[@LeoRichey]

At last! I have been waiting for this video!

[@mikeverdi]

As usual, great video, thanks. I agree with you on the black version.

[@peterkouvelos7361]

I just bought the white one, there is that difference of the textures but all around I think the white phone kicks ass, and I agree with the Barbara Stavrou, it looks like a stormtrooper!!

[@othmaneelbaze9278]

Great video ! Love the black one :D

[@hirokjyotideka5571]

It's impressive to see how device like nexus 5 brings competition to other very high end devices. It's biggest arsenal: the price tag.

[@sarfraz_anwar]

Keep it up Detroit

[@TripleHalt]

I love the Nexus 5, black in particular. You're a lucky dude, Mike. Maybe some of that luck will rub off on me and I'll even win one of your giveaways one time!

[@JustinKreule]

Thanks for the very good and detailed review! :) I'm considering getting this unless it has a good successor in the near future

[@SaadSoCal]

This phone is pretty new, 2-3 mnths old. I wouldn't expect a successor this year.

[@JustinKreule]

Saad Vaka Well good, because this phone is so cheap it's a steal :)

[@SirWortel]

Nexus 6 is expected in october. Nexus 5 came last quarter 2013 and they release every year, so yea.. I'm waiting for the Nexus 6.

[@JustinKreule]

SirWortel I wonder what they'll call it - since their numbers are associated with the screensize..

[@Olterior]

Justin Kreule Actually it is not named after screen size. Nexus 4 was the 4th nexus in the line and 5 is the fifth. NExus one was first Nexus S was second nexus Galaxy nexus was 3rd. And since the nexus 4 it goes by iteration

[@ivnzam]

Performance on this phone just got better with each update. Even the camera got decent with the last update.

[@mrigankpatel136]

Mike im seriously saying...............u awesome and u rock as a helllll.... u r d best of d best......

[@winsevenholic]

great review as always, thanks a lot

[@boomfraser]

Dude your amazing! You really help me decide :)

[@StewartCAlastair]

Great review! I'm leaning toward the Note 3. Of the two Nexus phones I like the Blk one due to its uniform look. Thanks for the info!

[@DeepakGuzzula]

Lovely phone and great review. Thank you very much. And nice dog you got there

[@lakis83]

Great Video as always!

[@Quasar_QSO]

While I'm waiting for UPS to bring my black Nexus 5 to me, this was a nice review to watch. I'm a bit bummed about the volume of the speaker because my Galaxy Nexus has always been too quiet too. However, the camera looks like it records nicely. That video at the end was quite nice for a phone recording.

[@BCBell]

Love your Bulova watch!

[@albertoscuttari2521]

best reviewer on yt!!!

[@136yomyheat]

Best Reviewer on KZbin no questions asked

[@TheSpannReport]

My White Nexus 5 showed up yesterday. I like it. Partly because I March to the beat of my own drum and everybody seems to want the black one.

[@jxharrison16x]

Thanks for the review! I am deff gonna go out and get this phone.. in black 32GB! :)

[@jartownboy]

great video review. i like black because of its simplistic & unified body. and also, i like the color.

[@TylerZehring]

Getting this tomorrow your videos have definitely influenced my decisions on what phone to buy thank you so much! Can't wait!

[@nbcool]

Excellent Review!!!! Thank you mate. This will definitely be my next phone. People are bitching about the phone for its camera and its battery but they dont realize its a $350 dollar phone!!! And the camera is decent!

[@lokimillieon]

I tell a lot of teckies to follow this guy. Great reviews

[@thetoxicwallaby]

as always, great video. will you make a review of the ipad mini with retina display?

[@computerkid1416]

What's the battery life like? Even though it's technically smaller than other phones such as the Galaxy S4, does stock android help it last a little longer?

[@MuhdNazir]

best review yet on nexus 5,detailed and thorough. current user of lenovo p770,partly to big battery capacity. used the phone less than 6 month,then realised it defeats one of the purpose of owning a smartphone,capturing the moment. what do you think ***** .my current phone last a day and a half,mostly with hsdpa on.oh yeah ,i do own nexus 7 and would i be wrong if i expect a similar satisfaction?its long ,i dont really change phone regularly.keep up the great job :D

[@arose0511]

Black for me, it looks like a better feel with that grippy material, i also like that all black design

[@sjforevers]

nice job!!!! keep up the good work

[@AFreshGamer]

Picking one up. Best looking phone of 2013 in my opinion

[@nikhillotia]

Awesome Analysis

[@jovanyvera6963]

Good review now I know which phone I'm getting :)

[@youtubegod05]

Black , just perfect feeling and fit

[@jonathanbrew01]

I prefer the black model. I agree, more uniform and simpler design. Good review! Thanks!
