Is this a decent phone?

My brother has Cellular One and is looking at this phone, I've read about it, but specs don't speak for real life results. So what do you like about the phone? What do you hate? Battery life? Camera? Just want a quick summary of the phone. He didn't need the latest and greatest like I have.

Agree on most of this. Touchscreen is good enough.

Yeah. Touch is fine...
But it supports only 2 point multitouch.

@OP,don't buy it...There are lots and lots of better phones in the market at the same price,like Xperia U

This phone is a crap. DO NOT BUY.
Get a Galaxy Nexus or Xperia Acro S instead.
For cheaper phone, get a Xperia Sola.

I don't recommend you to buy this phone :
- battery life is not so good
- lack of internal storage
- armv6
Good news are :
- Touchscreen is good
- still cheaper then others

Just remember it's a mid-range phone, so it behaves as such. It has its limitations but only if you compare it to other, bigger phones. I think it gives a bang for the buck. Not much more.

if you buy this phone now u will miss out on a lot of stuff, why dont u try the sequel galaxy ace 2, its very reasonably priced and its dual core (weaker chipset than usual) but 10x better than s5830.
P.S: Its getting ICS update from samsung too (date unknown)

Meh, I've never heard of Geekbench.
There seems to be a new benchmarking software released every week to gauge our phones against.

Geekbench has been around for a pretty long time, it's a pretty standard benchmark program.

Yeah!

is it jsut me or does it seem like the app isn't using all 4 cores. Even the Note 2 if it used all 4 cores should be higher then the Nexus 10 with 2 cores.

dude N10 use A-15 cpu which way better and more powerful than A-9 cpu's

now can anyone tell me how is this possible?
the one on the left is mine..
Since i cant post links put this after com/geekbench2/ :
compare/1609236/1496114
is it because he overclocked his processor ? there are some really big gaps like in Blowfish - multi-core scalar where i get 1228 and he gets 2929.. how is this possible?

Is 2200 a good score? Bad score?

I always thought our Nexus 4 wasn't the best regarding benchmarks, if I understood correctly part of the fault is related to throttling...

Nexus 5 User Benchmark Thread - With Added Competition!

So, now that a few of us are finally getting our hands on the devices, let’s get some proper user benchmarks going! Mine should be with me in the next couple of days, but hopefully there’s enough people with phones now to get a good set! Let's see how the snapdragon 800 with pure android compares with the rest of the pack...
EDIT - Let's get a leader board going! I'll only post scores backed up with a screenshot showing the score. (Yes, I know, benchmarks don't really mean that much...)
Geekbench 2 - 4,961 - Simms22
Antutu - 40,723 - Simms22
Quadrant - 30,497 - Simms22
Linpack - 1259 - Simms22
Sunspider - 536 ms (Chrome (/beta)) - Simms22
3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited - 17902 - Newbieandroid
Some suggestions to get going (obviously there will be more that people can run if they want)
Sunspider
GFXBench (GLBenchmark 2.7)
3D Mark
Google Octane
Mozilla Kraken
BrowserMark (2.0)
Vellamo
Linpack
Quadrant
AntuTu
Also it would be nice to see what the read/write speeds of the internal memory are like, so if anyone could post those up it would be great!

Here you go for an antutu for ya

So you want to tell me that clocking higher like 10-15% S600 should match S800? sorry but but that's just not possible there is an issue with the N5 being tested imho, the S800 should destroy the S600 no matter of the cheats, they are equal on the graphs.

A bit dissapointed with the results....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Try changing the compiler from Dalvik to ART and see if you get better results (it's under Developer Options).

Even worse now.

I thought people were over doing benchmarks like this. Real world usage is the best benchmark.

Not sure what your on about... The note 3 has a snapdragon 800 not a 600
Edit: Oh if you mean the s4, I believe that's the octa core variant not snapdragon. Don't quote me though
And let's not forget, Samsung and others put loads of optimisations for benchmarks that increase the scores, if you had the n4 I'm sure you would have heard of the dalvik patches from the s4? They increased benchmarks from 17-18 to 21k without any oc.

surprised people in this forum actually still believe in benchmarks.
the sammy phones as well as other brands cheat.
motorola and google do not 'tweak' to get better benchmarks.

Google crap always comes without dalvik and krait optimisations. Those scores were totally expected.
Give xda devs some time and they will sort it.

Please for the love of God, forget AnTuTu! It's easy to rig and it measures I/O, memory etc., and inconsistently, therefore it doesn't give usable individual benchmarks.
Nexus 5 owners need to run AnandTech's test apps, 3D Mark, Sunspider, Browsermark, Vellamo, Basemark, GLBenchmark, Epic Citadel and Google Octane.

Bro, just to be clear here. I'm not saying anything bad for the N5, i'm huge fan of it, just the results was a bit off. Thanks for the explanation. Also I/O i dont get how is that affected, its S800, how come I/O can be average?
Sorry Android/mobile noob here
