They're all thin. I haven't held any of these phones and ever thought "This is a thick phone."
Unless you're saying the difference between thin and thick is all of 0.2mm.
Well then what is it then? It's thicker than all the other phones in its generation.

Why is Android not good anymore? The S4 and HTC One do well in audio quality. Google just doesn't give a damn to use higher quality components for its Nexus phones.
HTC is quite good, and S4 is decent. iPhone is still King. Choices are limited for Android users if they care about headphone sound quality. Couple phones can't represent entire Android army. IMO the Nexus line should be the gold standard.
Why are you always "slamming Google"?
^^This!!! Nexus 5 is actually slightly thinner than Nexus 4 which was already plenty thin. I would even accept a 2mm increase in thickness for a larger battery.
I have noticed a pretty negative aspect of the phone though. Earbud volume is pretty abysmal. The iphone 4s I have to compare it to can crank out enough volume to where I need to put it down a notch even when I really want a loud volume (especially when exercising). I was walking today and even turned powerAMPs preamp setting all the way up and it was nowhere near loud enough. I have now had this issue on all three of the android phones I have owned. External speaker volume is ok but headphone volume is way too low.
Actually he has great comments about things that are very specific. His comments have often given me a good point to research further from.
I will take "it has _____ wakelock" or "_______ driver doesn't work" over "the phone is slow and laggy." Laggy is to Android phones as snappy was to OSX back in 2005. Overplayed.
That is why I use Fauxsound on my devices. But you have to have kernel support.
Lol and you too have great comments that get me to read further.
Can you explain any further?

Give me a break. You pay for what you get. How much do you expect to get out of a $300 phone?
Edit://
It's a phone that started life as a developers device with a pure Android environment for just that...I am not surprised google doesn't care about whining people.
You do realize people bitch and moan about screen quality, processor speed, camera sensor, OIS, build quality...etc, right?
Its a mere after thought when it comes to headphone out quality. Fact is most people don't notice or care about sound quality. Therefore its never important to implement a good setup. However it is important to me, and the cost is only a fraction of the other large items that show up on the spec sheet.
They do. The other dude has no idea what he's talking about...I thought the Note 2 and 3 had the best or among the best headphone output?
I know this is really wishful thinking, but I would pay $600 for a "premium" Nexus 5 with a 3000 mAh+ battery and a better camera.
