The Google Nexus 5 could be the best value-for-money smartphone out there.
If you're after a feature-packed phone for half the price of Apple, HTC, Samsung and Sony flagships, then buying Google's latest handset is a no-brainer.
Design
You might expect a rather cheap design from a starting price of £299, but no: the Nexus 5 looks and feels lovely. We like the ceramic power and volume buttons.
