Despite its “birthdate” the handset is all treats and no tricks, offering a very large high-resolution screen, one of the highest pixel densities ever found on a smartphone, ample RAM memory and a speedy quad core processor which may be the fastest of any mobile handset. The Google Nexus 5 for Sprint also delivers the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system out-of-the-box.

The front facing video call capable chat cam has a 1.3 megapixel sensor, and the Google Nexus 5 is slim and light compared to other smartphones with 5.0 inch displays. The 5 incher here delivers extreme pixel density, with 445 pixels covering each inch of display space.
More than 16 million colors can be found on the IPS LCD touchscreen, which earns a Full HD designation with a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. A scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 offers protection against drops and dings, with a full 17.0 hours of talk time delivered from a full battery charge. Wireless charging is built-in to the Google Nexus 5, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 system chip.
The quad core Krait 400 CPU has been clocked at a blazing 2.3 GHz, and a powerful Adreno 330 GPU handles graphics processing duties. 16 GB of built-in closet space is on board, as is 2.0 GB of productivity enhancing, multitasking RAM memory.
