Hi guys! I bought a Nexus 5 yesterday from this seller. This is my first Nexus although I have been using HTC, Sony and Samsung Androids for a while now.

I don't plan to root because I'm quite satisfied with the performance so far. Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, the smoothness is very noticeable even though the S4 Active has similar specs. Only minor complaints I have so far is that my S4 Active screen quality is better and the Nexus 5's loudspeaker isn't very clear.

The only customization I've done is to install Nova Launcher Prime (my favourite launcher) and L Emoji Keyboard (to get the Android L keyboard).

My S4 Active isn't using an AMOLED screen. It's using a TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen. It's not the same as the regular S4.

Yes, on paper TFT sounds worse. But I swear the S4 Active's TFT screen is the best I've ever used. I've owned HTC, Apple, Lumia and Xperia phones before too. Not sure what magic Samsung did to this screen, or it's just my unit, but I swear it looks even better than S. AMOLED and IPS.

My biggest peeve with iPhone is that they need iTunes to add and sync music. With Android I just can store my music in DropBox and export it locally to any of my devices. Google Play Music will scan and detect it automatically.

I bought mine from a seller I found in the Mobile Phones Garage Sales subforum.
