Nexus 5: Unboxing

Most recently, the Nexus 5 smartphone was introduced . Many lucky ones who bought the phone within a few hours from the start of sales have already received it. Got it today and me. Those who only think to order it, alas, most likely, will have to wait a couple of weeks. By the way, if you are in the CIS countries, then quite good instructions for buying are posted here . So, under the cut - opening the box and viewing the contents. It helps me in this, of course, Yoda. Many photos and a bit of text.


The phone came in two days (I indicated expedited two-day delivery). Moreover, he had to come tomorrow. Somehow, UPS could deliver it a day faster. He came in a simple small box, which lain for half a day in front of my apartment.

Yoda climbed onto the box and said that without a sharp knife it could not be opened.



Inside the box is the actual box with the phone and a piece of paper with information about the order.



The box with the phone itself lies inside the parcel box tight enough, no seals or packaging materials.



Actually, the box with the phone. Yoda is standing next to and recognizes that such a game with an image, as with Nexus 7 , where the corner of the screen formed the figure 7 ...
Therefore, the "five" is simply drawn inside the drawn screen.



We drag off this blue card with the image of the phone, and we get a simple white box, in the lower right corner of which there is an inscription "Google".



Yoda says that one cannot do without a knife here, the box is sealed well with white stickers.





Cut, open the box, and finally see the phone itself.



Let me remind you that the Nexus 5 does not have a removable battery, so the phone goes out of the box, which is called, immediately, entirely. IMEI number, by the way, is printed on the back cover.



Under the phone is a very important thing, the value of which I couldn’t exaggerate. SIM Removal Tool.



In addition, there are several pieces of paper in the box, warranty, charging, lanyard and ... everything. There is nothing else. Very little, but tell me honestly, do you need something else?



Yoda, like ba, tells us: "You will all need that" ...



Rip off the sticker on the screen. Another one on camera. And here's the phone from all sides:
The speaker grille, camera and two sensors are very high quality. The phone generally lies in the hand as one monolithic flat brick, even though it is relatively light. Lack of a back removable cover affects.



The camera sticks out significantly from the body. Covered with a large round glass much larger than the lens. Hopefully, image stabilization works well on this camera.



The volume rocker is also made soundly, as far as I heard, from some ceramics. The edges of the rocker to the touch are very sharp.



The power button and the compartment where the SIM card is inserted. The compartment is extended using the SIM Removal Tool. Which, by the way, is made of quite solid metal and quite accurately enters the hole. The compartment is fully extended, which personally for me inspires fears that at some point in time it may simply get lost / fall out of hand and disappear.



On the bottom of the microUSB and two lattices, as I understand it, speakers or microphones. On the top of the minijack for headphones and another small hole, or a microphone, or some other sensor.




Finally, turn on the phone and we immediately have to download a small, 125 megabytes, update.



Installing the update for a long time, even longer, the phone restarts.



Finally, after the standard procedures of first turning on the phone and entering all the necessary information - fresh Android 4.4 in all its glory appears before us.




On this, allow me to bow out. I am sure that detailed reviews of both the phone itself and the new version of the OS will soon appear. And this, I remind you, was just unboxing.
