Pocket-Lint: The Nexus is a strange category of device. Designed as a pure Android experience, it's a family of Google devices that's principally pitched at Android developers, but also popular with consumers.
Why is it popular? Because the Nexus devices are free from the clutter of manufacturer skins and customisations, so the focus remains on the core experience, rather than something slathered over the top. The Nexus devices are also the first in line to get Android updates, so benefit from Google's tweaks before the rest.
TechFrag - The Android 5.1 Lollipop update was made available to only select users in March when Google announced the latest update. The update is now being rolled out to additional users of Nexus 5.
There was a battery leak issue with the 5.0 but now it seems it's resolved with the 5.1 update. I have this phone and I have got the update.
"Until now this version was only available for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013), but developers recently got it working on the Nexus 4 as well."
Hardcore Droid-Usually, when you go to buy a phone, the vital stats will list the number of cores and the clock speed as an indicator of performance, but this doesn’t really tell the whole story. One CPU may be able to process more instructions per cycle (IPC) than another, and it may be able to process them more efficiently. The GPU in a phone is almost never advertised and is usually clocked independently from the CPU, despite being on the same die. It’s usually best to look at the overall performance of the System-on-Chip, but even then things like memory bandwidth can impact performance.
