5 Best Android Phones [August, 2014]

Nexus 5

Nexus 6 rumors have flared up in recent days though they point to a release in November. That means that Google's Nexus 5 reigns as the company's top Nexus smartphone option and retains its spot as one of the best Android smartphones around.

The company's current Nexus flagship delivers a fantastic design along with a high-resolution full HD display, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 8MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization, Android 4.4 KitKat, and an extremely cheap unlocked price tag that starts at $350.

It also gets updates directly from Google, a perk that doesn't come with many of the top Android smartphones on the market. The Nexus 5 is a device that needs to be on your radar in the month of August if you're in the hunt for a new Android phone.
