As the title suggests, I just got a new Nexus 5 this morning. A Black 16gb. Coming over from G2.
This is the first Nexus(or any other Android device) that has really WOW'ed me. Everything from the form factor to the smooth and buttery 4.4, has me satisfied and pleased.
I would say I'm a hybrid user, I use both the iOS and Android. Sometimes I switch, and sometimes simultaneously like as of now I'm using a Nexus 5 and an iPad Air.
After using the Nexus 4 briefly I was fairly disappointed with that. The glass backing was beautiful to look at but not practical, the display produced washed-out colors(for my eyes) and no LTE.
But the Nexus 5 is one complete device, slim beautiful profile, smooth soft-touch backing, display is much more pleasing to the eyes producing natural colors(neither washed-out like the N4 nor saturated like the G2). The only thing I was worried before getting the N5 was the display, looked through several comparison pictures and videos online but wasn't sure about it's quality. No need to worry now and no disappointments with it what so ever.
One small gripe I have(YMMV), is that the edges feel a little sharp(?). Meaning when holding the phone for a prolonged period of time it kinda starts hurting between the thumb and the index finger where the edge of the phone would rest when using one-handed. Not hurt in a painful way, but the edges definitely make their presence felt. The reason I'm mentioning this is because I've never experienced this before with any other device. I think I should get past this after a few days of usage.
I have owned several high-end smartphones previously--but none of those made me feel like coming here and creating a new thread just to express my joy, that's how pleased I am with the Google's latest flagship.
