syndrome Ghost member. Happens to those who have suffered amputation of a limb. The note. Itchy. It hurts. Looks like it’s there. But not anymore. It speaking, is the feeling I left the Nexus 5 test Google gave us when we had to return it. I looked in my pocket, or thought he had a good chance before to return to test your camera. But no, it was gone.

When I published the analysis of Nexus 5, the holder perfectly reflected what it represented for Industry: Nexus 5: Checkmate . For the first time a Nexus came as pretender to the throne, this time for real. The Nexus 4 introduced a year after his fame had stitched their knockdown price, but honestly, I was not genetically prepared to fight against Samsung, HTC or iPhone turn.

Hence the double merit of Nexus 5 this year: it has not only managed to stay ahead of them but a competition that has squeezed harder than ever , coming across brands which until a year ago he had vetoed the entrance to the club tuxedo. Speak with your LG G2, or with your Nokia (I stand) 1020, or with your Xperia Sony Z1.

The Nexus 5 is not perfect, but no terminal market is. Among publishers ALT1040 there has been no unanimity had to fight with the iPhone 5s especially to win the title. But make no mistake: no one has voted for the Nexus 5 as the best smartphone of 2013 to reach a ridiculously good price. Do not talk about it: talk to quality dry

.

A good smartphone is not limited to high specifications Some might prefer another smartphone to have a spec sheet with higher numbers. But definitely, the mobile industry is not this. Of course, as with the great magicians, trick Google remains hidden to the naked eye. Creating a good smartphone not to join leading specifications and put them in a housing . It is about putting the experience in the center (which incidentally phrase begins to take a dangerous turn “content is king”), to gather meaningful components and still give more importance to the performance of the software, the actual performance. And that, the Nexus 5 may lecturing. Meanwhile, other manufacturers have more travel quite seen this strategy, which has ignored for a long time, has exploded in their faces.

Samsung, for example, that has happened with the Nexus as well as some adults when they get to play with a child, you think the kid will eventually get tired and leave them alone but is fed before they finish than he. And that’s how a Nexus, until recently a trinket for Samsung, it has surpassed the almighty S4 Galaxy , the iPhone on duty, and the whole competition. It is best that we should not stay only with the Nexus 5, but with the bar so high that manufacturers have more than ever. In my opinion, 2013 was the best year in recent history for lovers of mobile technology. The scenario posed dizzying 2014. Fasten your seatbelts.
