1. "Bigger and better trend is going to end" Lol how wrong you were

2. Nexus 5 – geeks New Best Friend – Android Q&A

3. boy you were wrong with phone size now

4. Why buy a tablet and a phone? Tablets are actually useless for anything other than media consumption and with a 5" screen I'd argue that's plenty big enough for media. I think 4.7"-5.2" is going to be the sweet spot in the future; bezels will shrink to the point that these devices will be very easy to use in one hand even with the larger screens. I really hope tablets become obsolete…

5. Jayce phone size depends on the person and how larger there fingers are a 5" inches for a screen is perfect for my hands because i have long fingers with a large base (palm) to hold my phone. i think it can vary per person but I sell phones for a living and I notice that people purchase the larger phones because they want to watch movies or have a larger gps when they are on the road.i don't think people actually care that it takes them a fraction of a second to adjust there hand
   (most people who have a tablet if usually for there child or for reading)
   the reason why is i have customers saying that they don't even use there tablet because there phone is always on them or just because the phone just operates better (because a smart phone is usually MSRP 700 dollars and a average tablet price is MSRP 100-350 dollars ipad MSRP 250-499) (base on what i sale ipads can cost more)
   the specs in a 700 dollar phone by samsung (the GS5) are going to be superior to a 170 tablet (most consumers purchase) that only has a dual core cpu, 1 gb of ram and only displays in 600p…do i need to break it down even more?!

6. I agree with him screen size should be between 4.7 – 5.0 inch, not more than that.

7. Everybody like bigger screens. NO ONE WANTS A 4.7 SCREEN. NO ONE

8. lol eventhough ppl say he's not funny but he's better den Darcy -_-

9. Please use a green screen correctly or get a white screen…. Seriously this is extremely poor!

10. 0:10 was that a legitimate comment or did you make up that name as a reference to Black ops?

11. The tweaks are available within the settings of all recent Android phones in a section called “Developer options.”
    This section might be hidden on some phones, but it’s very easy to access. On many phones, you just have to open a certain page in the settings and tap a button seven times. Use Google to figure out how to enable Developer options on your phone if it’s currently hidden (for example, search “enable developer options HTC One”).
    Once you have access to Developer options, simply scroll until you find the following three settings, which may be located on the main screen or within an “Advanced” subsection:
    Window animation scale
    Transition animation scale
    Animator animation scale
    Tapping each of the three aforementioned settings will reveal that it’s set to “1x” by default. If you want to speed up your phone or tablet dramatically, simply change each of those three settings to “.5x” — that’s it.

12. I love the phone

13. I totally agree with the size. I hate 5 inch phones. way to big to use one handed

14. I dont have a tablet, but I think 5inch nexus 5 is great esp i dont wanna carry two devices when i am out. 

    4.5ish in screen is too small when u dont have a tablet. 

15. I think you are wrong about Nexus 5's and iPhone's battery life and especially iPad mini's. I have all three devices and iPhone 5s lives longer than Nexus 5 to me and iPad shouldn't even be in this conversation, I have the last year model and it can live a few days with playing games, movies, browsing etc.

16. Does anyone think that Verizon will support the next nexus phone, or know why they currently don't support nexus phones?

17. Nooooo!!! 5.2 inches is fine on my g2, don't make smaller phones, and I'm pretty sure people with a note 3 will agree.

18. I had a 5.5 inch Note 2. Loved it, although it was a bit unwieldy. And I have huge hands. Then I got the Nexus 7 tablet and frankly, didn't need such a large phone. So I think Jayce is on to something with the 4.5-4.7 inch sweet spot. I think my taste is more like 4.7-5.0 inches, but yeah, I'm over the large phones. Problem is that the OnePlus is 5.5 and I REALLY want to support that phone so I may have to go back. Wish that device was 5 inches. They messed that up, according to their own poll.

19. Why did my nexus the start to charge so slow!? How can I fix this?

20. My hand is big so I don't have a problem with the size

21. I have a nexus, an old Laptop and a pc. I'll never buy a tablet because i don't see why i could want it. I would maybe buy a windows 8 tablet (not the RT version!) for produktiviti with a nice keyboard and a mouse. We need less devices which do more, not more which do less!

22. i have a nexus 7 tablet and want to buy a nexus 5 since is 4.9 or 5 inch display it is very confortable and i have small hands, 4.7 inch es like somwhat small for me, and 5.2 or so is just to big

23. I really find tablets kind of useless to me. Thats my opinion. Having the LG G2 with a 5.2in screen – It's good for consuming media, battery is great like a tablets too. Id rather occasionally have to move the phone in my hand than carry two devices. Also , they have voice to text built into stock androids keyboard.

24. can someone help me with my calander display problem, my nexus 5 calander will not show holidays inthe united states or contacts birthdays and events. i have tryed touse the settings but didn't help at all.

25. which colour should  I buy black or white
    ????

26. 1. I don't know what you're doing with yours but I get two days use out of my battery. Best battery life ever.
    2. 5 inches beat 4.5 inches every time. The size and ergonomics are perfect for me.

27. Samsung Galasxy Tab 7.7 Phablet. Best of both worlds..

28. Samsung Galasxy Tab 7.7 Phablet. Best of both worlds..

29. Agree with you and thanks for the video! Good luck.

30. You should try the Moto X then.

31. you are funny bro hahah

32. I really like having the 5.1 inch display on the gs5. With Swype, it's easy to text with one index finger anyways, so there's no problem there. And large screens are so much better for media consumption in general. Other than that, I think your points stand strong

33. Just Nexus being Nexus…

34. I think one man should have 3-4 devices. TV-Tablet for home, phone for on the go, perhaps normal tablet, PC laptop.

35. 3:08 Oh my God… it's like Bill Gates is talking at a press conference 7 years ago!!!

    It's sad that Bill Gates was consistently more intelligent than Steve Ballmer, the guy in charge of the actual company! I hope the guy was just a joke to bring publicity back to Microsoft, for the new CEO to take over, and wasn't actually chosen and kept!!! I mean, it'd be a genius plan… bring attention through something ludicrous, then bring peace back to the lands, insuring Microsoft victory. 

36. Disagree about the size. 5 inch or 5 inch plus is a good compromise for people that don't necessarily want a tablet or can't afford one.

37. I always use my index finger to scroll down the notification bar when using only 1 hand. You should try this out man!

38. Hi, what case you have for the nexus?

39. OnePlus One. Enough said..

40. Why did you link to the Amazon purchase page for the Nexus 5? Purchasing it straight from the Google Play Store is $50 cheaper…

41. I'd have given a 100 Likes if I could!!!
    Vanilla Android and Nexus Rock!

42. I wish I had achery practise

43. I disagree
    I have a note 3 and I don't find that too big
    And yes everyone has a tablet but I think that my note 3 is a better media device then my iPad 4
    In fact it's a better everything device then my iPad

44. Great review. I totally agree with the idea that the big phone craze will end. I one a nexus 5 and I do love it.. But my girlfriends moto g along with its vivid colors feels really nice in the hand.

45. Helo Jayce,What's your thought on Android Silver Program? Will it be a Nexus killer?
