Comparison: bq aquaris 5 vs nexus 4

As we have done with the Nexus 5, now is the time for the Nexus 4 to be measured face to face with the Bq Aquaris 5. Let's see if the model of the South Korean company is up to the mid-range that it carries. by flag the Spain Brand. Do not lose detail of its specifications, through which we hope to solve your doubts. We begin:

Screens: The Nexus 4 has a remarkable 4.7 inches True HD and IPS technology that gives it a wide angle, with a resolution of 1280 × 768 pixels (320 ppi). The Aquaris 5 also has IPS technology, being the 5-inch capacitive qHD screen with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and 220 dpi. The LG device also has Gorilla Glass 2 protection.

We continue with their cameras: just as it happened with the Nexus 5, in this case both smartphones also have an 8-megapixel main lens that features an LED flash. The front camera in the case of the Nexus 4 is 1.3, as well as that of its older brother, while that of the Aquaris 5 is VGA with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, which we can use for video calls for example. As for the video recording quality of the Bq, its resolution has not transcended, but we know that the Nexus 4 does it in Full HD 720p at 30 fps.

Now its processors: the Nexus 4 has a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon ™ Pro S4 CPU, while the Bq Aquaris 5 features a 1.2GHz Quad core Cortex A7 SoC. They also present differences in terms of their GPU: the PowerVR Series5 SGX graphics chip is present in the Aquaris 5 and for the Nexus 4 we have Adreno 320. The RAM is 1 GB for the Spanish smartphone and 2 GB for the phone of the South Korean company.

The most relevant thing about connectivity is that while the Aquaris 5 model has the most common connections today such as WiFi, 3G or Bluetooth, the Nexus 4 offers LTE / 4G support, so fashionable lately.

Designs: The Bq Aquaris 5 is 142mm high x 71mm wide x 9.9mm thick and weighs 170 grams. The Nexus 4 has measures of 133.9 mm high × 68.7 mm wide × 9.1 mm thick and weighs 139 grams.

Its batteries have practically the same capacity: the Bq Aquaris 5 has 2, 200 mAh, while the Nexus 4 has 2, 100 mAh. Its greater power will require more energy expenditure and therefore less autonomy, at least in principle, because it will also depend on the use that the user gives to the smartphone.
