Bought it just for entertain with music but soon fought out it's really an iPhone's clone. Great build quality, great camera, very fast capturing. But sometime microphone doesn't work well. My cousins usually complain that she hardly hear me (facetime)

The iPod is great! Although the UI speed isn't that great but more then enough the display is really sharp battery is also a bit on the Low side but still it's great. I've been using it for 2 weeks no such problems till now.

It has a gorgeous design and build quality. Display is so-so. The processor is showing its age and I don't know why apple didn't equipped it with the A6 for future-proofing. With iOS 7 it lags if the animations and transparency are turned on.

Works as it needs to

The iPod 5 has all of the features and support it needs. While it's home to a few glitches and lacks a back-facing camera, it works exactly how it should. It also is quite fast when loading internet applications and the like.

OK. Device, (When it came out)

I got it when it came out in gray, it lasted about 3 years befor completely ding after a hip hight drop. I had an OtterBox on it, and it landed on carpet, it just died right there. It is appearently a power issue with the battery, if you plug it in, it will still give you the red charging logo but wont do anything. pretty bad price to 400$ I paid for it, NOT WORTH IT!

Don't buy an Ipod touch 5th gen is you want performance!

I Have a Ipod touch 5g for a year now! I'm my question why would i buy that? first of all I thought that a5 chip would be very fast and not difference than A6! but i'm Wrong! it Very s**tty Performance! Youtube crashed every time because of lack of memory! 512mb ram DDR2! are you kidding me it 2015 man! and Still using a LPDDR2! it a worst mistake to get an iPod touch 5! i should get ipad 3 instead. A5x have a Gigabyte of ram! When i Look up Mortal Kombat X it said not support mine!
And Every they in High school most of my friend have an iphone 6 and i Jealous every days!
So i have to Jailbreak so i can disable launch demon and overclock and Not beable to use Facebook and Messenger app so i can save the battery life!so guy beaware for the performance! I Recommend Nvidia Shield Over Nexus 9 because Nexus 9 doesn't have an sd card and nvidia shield! thanks for reading!

Cool little gadget

I have had this iPod and I love it. It is excellent for storing movies and episodes and music. What I really dig is its very slim size. If you are working out or walking around it is perfect fits in your pocket and is super slim. The UI is eh, pretty laggy but it pics up the pace fast after it lags for about a second or two.. so no worries. The battery runs out with heavy use fairly fast but the iPod charges back up VERY fast. It is a very good little machine to have. The Camera is very crisp I really like it

ipod touch 5th generatoin

Very good device but a bit expensive for what you are paying for. There could have been a slightly bigger display maybe a 720p display. The device could be better for gaming as i do often see lag especially while playing Asphalt 8

iPod touch 5th generation Review

The new iPod touch is far superior to my previous iPod touch 4th generation. It has a way better camera, 5 MP. The build quality is better on this iPod because the back is not mirrored, which caused a lot of scratches and fingerprints. It also comes in cool colors, which is a fun feature. The UI Speed is speedier and faster on the new A5 processor, which is new to the iPod touch. It comes in 32/64GB variants, as well as a dedicated 16GB variant. I would definitely recommend this

Best iPod touch yet.

I've had second generation iPod touch, I can say this generation is so much better even compared with the fourth generation. It's thin body makes it the thinnest iTouch. IPS display is also an edge. Feels like you already owned an iPhone 5 without the 3g capabilities tho.

solid product

I've had previous iOS devices, and this is better than the iPhone 4S. It's snappier, has a commendable retina display (although underwhelming in size), and is comparable in several respects to the iPhone 5.
