When will WHF get a Nexus 5 in for review?

[Oldboy]

I'm finding it very difficult to hold off from buying a Nexus 5 at the moment but with very little out there by way of reviews I'm reticent to buy blind so any idea when or even if the team at WHF might get one for review?

I've seen enough of the HTC one to know it's a great alternative if the Nexus 5 isn't much good but a review of the Nexus 5 would really help inform my decision so any info would be much appreciated thank you.

Try WHF's stablemate Stuff, they've done a piece on it. Don't recall too much about the sound quality though, I think it was more a look at Android 4.4 to be honest.

This one is not bad either:

You're not looking very hard.

Every tech website/blog on the planet has either done a hands on or full review...

Well reviews have only appeared recently and vary wildly which is why I'm hoping WHF get one to review soon...I've just read the most recent reviews and they are mostly positive but confusing as one article praises the camera and another knocks it and that goes on across various points such as build quality, screen and usability.

Stuff's full review...

My days. Do Stuff actually say 'W.T.F.?' on their 1 to 10 scale?

 

[The_Lhc]

Yeah, deys like, well edgy an' that, innit.

Hi all, we have a Nexus 5 in the building and it's in the hands of the review team. Hopefully we'll get our review online by the end of the week, so please stay tuned! And don't worry, we'll be bring you our thoughts on sound quality, picture quality, and everything in-between!

I've had my Nexus 5 for just over a week now and although the camera is not the last word in mobile quality it is better than all but the best of the newer phones. It won't replace my DSLR but takes great pictures, especially with the HDR+ for trickier occasions.

Everything else is superb - it looks a little bland (I prefer a 'stealthier' phone as it is less likely to attract attention) but it is very light and strong. It fits brilliantly in the hand and the screen is so sharp and clear I've hardly used my Nexus 7 for reading or web browsing.

It's very fast and musically appears identical to my sons iPhone (using £100 Shure ear buds). Initially I wasn't sure if upgrading from the N4 was worthwhile but now I'm using and appreciating it more & more.

The range of quality, free apps is also massive.

Late, and like your dad dancing. Either do it properly, or don't bother. I'd vote for the latter.

Its not made by Apple - so although it has a much better screen and is half the price, and runs a configurable OS it will only get 4/5

Its not shiny enough.

if you don't like the reviews on here do one!

I'm not sure they'd let me do a review, Dave...

No evidence for that, the HTC ONE got 5 stars. That is quite shiny though.

To be fair to Gel (I've no idea what he said though) it wasn't the smartest thing you've ever said...

You won't find me commenting on things I'm not interested in, I don't see the point of being negative purely for the sake of it.

But you'd still vote for them not to bother doing a review. Doesn't exactly sound like the dictionary definition of "interested".

Only if they can't do it as well, as comprehensively and in as timely a fashion as all the other sources of such reviews out there.
