The summary basically is that for about twice the money of the nexus 5 you get worse battery life, much dimmer screen, and generally slower performance than the nexus 5.

I was pretty shocked how bad the screen is, scored something like #26 of 28 phones in brightness, similarly poor with saturation accuracy. Arstechnia seems to think the slow I/O is the worst offender for the general laggyness. Read bandwidth was 73% of the nexus 5, 37% of a note 4, and 30% of the Moto X 2014 (well regarded for it's responsiveness).

Pretty disappointing. Too bad google didn't pick something like the droid turbo/Moto Maxx for the next nexus device.
