Snapdragon 800 sat at the top of Qualcomm's lineup back in 2013, and that's what drives this phone: a quad-core 2.3GHz Krait 400 CPU paired with Adreno 330 graphics. It's matched with 2GB of RAM and a choice of 16GB or 32GB storage, no microSD slot to expand it further. The 4.95-inch True HD IPS+ screen runs at 1080 x 1920, working out to 445 ppi, sharp enough for text and video at that size.

The 8MP rear camera includes optical image stabilization and an LED flash, with autofocus and features like HDR and photo sphere thrown in. Front camera is a modest 1.3MP, fine for the occasional video call. LG Nexus 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM1189, and it comes in Black, White or Red.

Battery capacity is 2300 mAh, non-removable, which was reasonable for its time given the 130g weight and 8.6mm profile. It ships with Android Lollipop out of the box, upgradable to v5.1.1, and includes NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and LTE Cat4 support for data speeds up to 150Mbps down.
