Comparison: bq aquaris 5 vs lg nexus 4

Today we bring you the comparison between the BQ Aquarius 5 and the LG Nexus 4. The first of them, the BQ Aquarius 5, whose operating system is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and has a fairly competitive price on the market, at € 199. On the other hand, we have the LG Nexus 4, a new Nexus Smartphone that has been developed together with Google. Its operating system is exactly the same as that of the BQ Aquarius 5, the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is priced at € 249 for the 16 GB internal memory model and € 199 for the LG Nexus 4 model with 8 GB memory.

The first point to analyze is the screen of both Smartphones, something to which users increasingly give more importance since we increasingly use mobile phones to watch movies or read electronic books. Well, the screen of the BQ Aquarius 5 is 5 inches and that of the LG Nexus 4 4.7. Therefore, the difference between the two is not significant. One aspect to keep in mind is that both the BQ Aquarius 5 and the LG Nexus 4 have an IPS panel.

Internal memory: Size does matter

As we have already commented, the LG Nexus 4 has two developed versions. On the one hand, the 8GB model of ROM and, on the other, a 16GB Smartphone model. A big disadvantage is that the LG Nexus 4 does not support the insertion of a memory card to expand the capacity of the phone, so when buying it you must think very carefully about how much internal memory you think you will need and opt for one of them.. The BQ Aquarius 5 has a single model of 16 GB of ROM memory and this one does support the insertion of a microSD card of up to 32 GB.

The rear camera of both the BQ Aquarius 5 and the LG Nexus 4 is 8MP, a resolution that is not bad for two mid-range mobile phones. Some of the features that Smartphones have are LED Flash, face and smile detection. Both also have a front camera.

The battery of both Smartphones is also quite similar. The one on the LG Nexus 4 has a capacity of 2, 100 mAh and the one on the BQ Aquarius 5 has 2, 200 mAh. Thus, the battery is a very favorable point of these Smartphones.

After the excellent price reduction of the Nexus, it is unrivaled today in mobile terminals and we would choose the LG Nexus for its characteristics and the support of Google in its updates.
