Nexus 5 review: still top-shelf one year on
The LTE-enabled Nexus 5 is the successor to Google’s hugely popular Nexus 4, arriving one year after the first LG-built Google phone appeared to incredible fanfare and demand. While the Nexus 5 has recently been superceded by the Nexus 6, the larger format of the newer Nexus has some people concerned. Fortunately, the Nexus 5 will continue to be sold alongside the Nexus 6, and it has now been updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop. In our revisited Nexus 5 review, we see how the Google phone stacks up as one of Google’s longest running smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S4 review: is last year’s phone still a good buy?
There’s no question that the Galaxy S4 was the most-hyped device of 2013. Samsung’s poured millions of dollars into marketing the S4 as a “life companion,” which can translate your speech at the drop of a hat, beautify your photos and help you connect with the folks around you. Samsung is now a bonafide Apple competitor, with a rabid fanbase to show for it. But underneath all of the hype, is this a phone you’re going to want to own? How does it stack up against the competition out there? We’ve been playing around with the Galaxy S4 for a few days and we have a few words to say on the matter. Here is our Galaxy S4 review. Our review of Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S22

HTC One (E8) review: a lighter, cheaper One (M8)
When I hear criticisms of the HTC One (M8), they are usually one of the following four gripes: too heavy, bad camera, don’t like metal, too expensive. But what if you could have a lighter, cheaper, plastic M8 with a ”normal” camera? Well, that’s exactly what HTC built. Check out our HTC One (E8) review to see if it’s a better One (M8).

Google finally announced the new Nexus devices which will all come running Android 5.0 Lollipop, the latest iteration of Android. Although it has yet to officially come to the Nexus line, not to mention other Android devices, we’ve been able to test a preview version of the OS, inspired by the Material Design found in the SDK and factory images for the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 (2013). Thanks to this, we can safely confirm that Google has completely renovated the entire user interface as well as introduced a great deal of new features. Check out our Android Lollipop review.
