What this hardware actually means
Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.
Platform & performance positioning
The google Google Nexus 5 reports its platform as smdk6400. The CPU configuration is 8-core, Cortex-A73 Cortex-A53, running up to 793 - 2106 MHz. The GPU is ARM Mali-G72 MP3. Without a confirmed SoC tier mapping for this platform string, we treat the device as unverified. If you're using this entry to compare against a phone you're inspecting, focus on the raw fields below rather than tier-level conclusions.
Day-to-day workload
6 GB of RAM is adequate for mainstream daily use; modern games may benefit from closing background apps. Display resolution is 1920x1080.
This record reflects Android API level 22 (5.1). Android 7 or older — effectively retired; very few modern apps will run, and Google Play Services support is limited.
Trust & buying notes
Because this entry runs Android 5.1, treat it as a reference for older inventory: refurb shops sometimes flash old firmware to make a device look "stock," so a modern build date with this API level is a red flag.
