Calm Down people, 2k is for the Tax. Same will be applied at Play store

this is an truly amazing device. This seller must have worked hard to get these devices as soon as they released because they were sold out within 33 mins of launch time on the google play store in us. There are so many people who can give even more than 40k just to have this device but they cant because its sold out already(having waiting time of over 2 weeks)
Considering this, you should feel blessed that someone is offering this device to you at reasonable rates. It is faster than the NOTE3 which is priced north of 50k. The processor in this device is the fastest mobile processor. Plus you get a good 8mp BSI camera which is also optically stabilized. Key feature is the Android Kitkat 4.4 it is shipped with.
I highly recommend it.

Great phone at a very good price. Worthy of being called a true flagship, since it includes all high end specs and a full HD screen.
Two major concerns however, are, the battery life because of the not so big 2300 mah battery and the Camera which is not at par with the other 8 mp cameras (Reviewers say google will fix it in a software update) Can't complain much because of the price tag.
Other than that, its a great buy! And people stop bitching about the high price, its only asking for 2k more, because its available here before the official launch! We all know for how much an iPhone sells in India before its official launch! (P.S. Not an iPhone hater, an iPhone user myself, will be using android side by side) :)

Undoubtedly the best 'thing' that Rs. 29990 can buy. And powerful enough to beat Note 3, Xperia Z1, LG G2, and of course iPhone 5S.

Its big brother of iPhone (5s) literally, best nex
Arka Bhattacharjee (Nov 1, 2013)

One short and sweet one liner -> Nexus 5 is literally a big brother of iPhone 5s. Its as beautiful as black iPhone 5S and Kitkat OS is on par (actually better) with iOS. You can say its bigger iPhone (I mean it) because Android OS is more flexible, customizable and powerful and it is bigger than in size like its big brother. The bigger size definitely helps in games and all kind of media consumption.This device performance is buttery smooth and the overall experience inspires utmost satisfaction. Given its size it feels so light and slim even compared to iPhone 5/5s.It is not even best nexus device so far but best out yet among all.
And now I will explain it.
--------------------------
1. Design, look and build quality-> I differ here from most reviewers who says its plain or boring and nothing stands out of this. Its as good looking as black (space gray) iPhone 5S. Its all black like iPhone 5s. Though its made of plastic its feels sturdy, well built with precision only known to Apple. And for the people who tell iPhone made of aluminum, Nexus 5 sides appears no inferior to iPhone 5S black sides. The front glass is very well fused with the body with almost no gaps. Now what we are left with? Back? The back of Nexus 5 is though made of plastic it feels very good in the hand and due to its matte finish does not seem to slip off.I love this black beauty and don't blame for my taste as they said "beauty lies in the eyes of beholders".
"Simplicity is Beauty and Beauty is simplicity, nothing more, nothing less." - Oscar Wilde. If any phone on the market lives up to the Oscar Wilde's quote its Nexus 5. In short its unapologetically simple".
2. Processor/speed-> Buttery/silky smooth. Neck to neck with iPhone 5s and second only to Note 3 for all practical purposes.
3. Screen/display-> Awesome. Its better than retina any time as its full HD. The feeling of display being washed up goes away very soon and remember the so called best retina have the same problem as they share the same display technology.
4. Ecosystem-> Android ecosystem is as good as Apple's. In fact I find it better because of Android OS power you have kind of powerful applications which Apple fan boys can never have. Apple fan boys just give a try to 'tasker' (Warning: Only if you can handle Android's raw power.)
5. Powerful Soul-> "Fools are those who don't want their souls to be powerful." Its as good as iOS but better why? because its powerful and customizable. You can do the things with it when you need. Its no way comparable to inferior iOS. Apple fan boys! People should not be proud of a system which does not even let them change default for anything.
6. Call Quality -> Fantastic. I have never had so clear voice on call for very long.
7. Network Signal Quality -> Fantastic.
8. Volume/Speaker-> Inherently the speaker is very loud. Though in some application it might sound a little short of enough but its software related problem and should be fixed in future update. I have tested the volume in many application like play and in some apps are freaking load. While playing music through play I had to cut down on the volume in car its so powerful.With headphones its fantastic. The voice quality is very superior and has no noise in it. Its as pure as it gets.
9. Camera-> I have seen all the comparisons of Nexus 5 with all leading phones (HTC one, Nokia Lumia, iPhone 5s, Samsung Galaxy S4) and its competing neck to neck in every department except its little slow to focus. But once it focus it takes very good images. HDR+ beats all other phones (I swear it). But again Google admitted it was software related issue and would be fixed soon through update. Personally I am pretty satisfied with the camera.
Its at least best nexus phone camera and comparable to others except in little slower to focus. The photos are very detailed with accurate colors.
10. Battery-> No complaints. Nothing great or bad here. Its definitely better than many old phones (including galaxy nexus) and equal to many others.
It just falls short of only two smart phones right now which are LG G2 and Note 3. But it's battery is comparable to the best smartphone i.e. iPhone 5s. So if iPhone 5S can be the best with that kind of battery I don't understand how we could complain of Nexus 5. For casual usage you will charging it once a day. The noticeable thing is that in idle mode it does not eat battery at all and that's where it will average out better end of the day.
Summary-> Even keeping its lower price aside, Its the one of best smart phone and should equal or better any best smart phone on the planet right now. And you add advantage of lower price...
