Honestly, I think it looks a lot better than some had claimed prior (cough.. Verge... cough). Check em out:

Yeah, I'm not a photographer so these look just fine to me. I don't expect to get DSLR quality shots from a phone. If I wanted/needed pictures that great, I'd get a DSLR camera.
I don't own any other camera than my smartphone, so the nicer the camera the better.
However, I'm not a photographer either so as long as it performs at least average when compared with the other flagships of the day I'm happy

Mine flies, sounds like you got a dud. It happens, no matter what the device or who manufactures it.Got mine today, overall not to impressed at all with the device, boxed up and waiting on RMA email now for shipping back.
Overall summary of device IMO...lag. Just everything i did on it just seemed to be slow. Didn't even take the camera outside after comparing indoors to my 5s.
I know all the tricks for Android regarding fixing stuff and such as i had have had pretty much every flag ship from all brands over the last 2yrs now but i didn't even bother. Shouldn't have to be doing that stuff out of the box. The phone did apply the latest update once i powered it on. I did not restore any apps or anything from backups.
Kinda sad about it, i think this is the final round with me trying Android out If the Nexus 5 didn't do it for me none of them will.
I think it looks damn good!

I have a 5s and honestly it's extremely hard to compare any other phone on the market to the speed of the 5s. When it comes to basic speed and all that coupled together with the shooter that the 5s has it's a real tough fight. And this is coming from someone who is very much involved in using both platforms. I'm not looking for my Android phone to dethrone my iphone, I'm just looking for pretty much an extremely capable android phone that does exactly what I need it to do, which is not have any lag because in these days of processors no phone should have any lag, and of course have a very capable shooter. If the nexus 5 can't do the job I'll find a phone that can, there are lots of choices these days, I just happen to enjoy vanilla android very much. Moto x will be my second choice at the moment.
