I am loving the Nexus 5’s low light camera performance.

Hi Steve very nice review but i have one short question left. Do you know what kind of glass they used for the camera. Is it sapphire crystal glass like they used in LG G2?
Because i couldn´t find anything about it so far.

In reply to GerardMcEvoy. White's fine. Though I'd rather have had black (white was available sooner!). And yes, works fine on the Nokia Qi charger.

Steve – Please can you confirm that the Nokia headphones you mention work properly on the N5, in that the volume up and down buttons actually control the volume, and the middle button controls calls, music pause/skipping etc *without* any software tweaking on the phone? Thanks

Good job on the review again Steve. I’m oth tempted and not rempted to swap my N4 for this. Camera isn’t a great concern for me but the more contrasty screen is. Is your wireless charger the DT-900? My N4 is unusable with it but my N7 fine and if the N5 works flawlessly with it then that could be the clincher.

My last sticking point is the colour. I find the black very boring but prefer the matte finish around the edges to the glossy black of the white. Does the white accented earpiece look as jarring in the flesh as it does in photos?
