Google’s Nexus 5: sleek and simple

LG-manufactured smartphone is fast, lightweight, but above all simple to use

From €349

Google's smartphone may have been made by LG, but it screams of the Android giant. It has Google's slick interface and the up to date version of Google's Android software, with a five-inch full HD display, all housed in a lightweight case. It's fast to start and switch between apps, and everything is very simple to use. There is no expandable storage, however, having either 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage. That said the camera is impressive and it's compatible with Ireland's next generation mobile networks.
