Running on the sweetest version of Android yet — 4.4, better known as KitKat — the Nexus 5, developed by LG is the “slimmest and fastest” Nexus phone Google has ever presided over.

There’s is 5” full HD display onboard, and data transfer is zippy thanks to 4G/LTE and ultra fast WiFi. Google’s latest boasts a camera with optical image stabilisation and a new lens that “captures more light for brighter night and sharper action shots,” apparently. Oh, and the HDR+ mode automatically snaps a rapid burst of photos and combines them to give you the best possible single shot. Sweet.
