Google's latest flagship phone (made by LG).
* 4.8 oz. and 8.59mm
* 4.95” 1920x1080 display (445 ppi)
* Snapdragon™ 800, 2.26GHz processor
* 4G/LTE and Dualband Wi-Fi
* Android™ 4.4, KitKat®
* Wireless charging
Pros:
* Amazingly fast. Using chrome on this feels like using it on a desktop. The entire UI and phone is exceptionally responsive.
* Camera - Updated with latest software, great photos, very fast, low shutter lag, etc.
* 5Ghz Wireless -> Can use N like it is meant to be used.
* Amazing screen at 441ppi. My Note 2 was 720p on a 5.5" screen and I could sometimes tells the pixels. Cannot on this phone.
* Small/lightweight
* Android updates fast. None of this waiting for years/never getting a recent update bullshit.
Cons:
* Smaller screen (used to my Note 2)
* GPS - Slower to lock and less accurate than on my Note 2. Hope this is something that can be helped with software upgrades.
On a semi-related note, Google Now is awesome. It updates me on places I go regularly (directions, traffic, estimated travel time) without me doing anything. It pulls out sports scores and fantasy updates based on my search history. It automatically tracks packages for orders on my Gmail account. It notifies me of upcoming hotel reservations (with directions to the hotel, etc). Stock updates, etc. It's amazing.
