Comparison: LG Nexus 5 vs iPhone 4

Today we are going to compare Google's LG Nexus 5 and Apple's iPhone 4. The first integrates the Android operating system, in its 4.4 KitKat version, while the latter uses IOS4 with multitasking. The two terminals can be included in the mid-range and have excellent value for money.

Let's start by evaluating the screen of both Smartphones. The Nexus 5 has a remarkable 4.95-inch Full HD, with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. For its part, the iPhone 4 has a 3.5-inch screen and has a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels. While the Nexus 5 has protection from the Corning Gorilla anti-scratch glass, the iPhone 4 defends itself against shocks thanks to its side cases and its back, which are made of aluminum and stainless steel. The entire front of the phone is covered by tempered glass.

Something that is also worth comparing between the Nexus 5 and the iPhone 4 is the size and weight. The Nexus 5 measures 137.84 mm high × 69.17 mm wide × 8.59 mm thick and weighs 130 grams. On the other hand, the Iphone 4 has dimensions of 115.5 mm high x 62.1 mm wide x 9.3 mm thick and weighs 137 grams. We see how the thickness of the phone is greater in the second Smartphone, something that also happens with its weight, but very slightly.

As for the internal memory, the difference is not appreciated, since both terminals have a 16 GB model and a 32 GB model. Both lack a microSD card slot.

Now let's talk about its processors: while the Nexus 5 has a 2.26 GHz quad-core Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 soc, the iPhone 4 has an A4 1GHz CPU that Apple has already integrated into the iPad and is comparable to that of the device. of Google. The RAM memory also varies from one model to another: the iPhone has 512 MB of RAM and the Nexus 5 with 2 GB of memory.

From the connectivity it is only worth noting that the iPhone 4 model does not offer LTE support, while the Nexus 5 does.

As for the quality of the camera, the Nexus 5 is victorious with its 8 MP rear camera and a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels, although it also has a 2.1 MP front. The iPhone 4 has 5 megapixels in its rear and unique lens. Both Smartphones have an LED Flash and are capable of recording Full HD 720p video at 30 fps.

As with the camera, it also happens with the autonomy of the battery. While Nexus 5 has a 2300 mAh battery capacity, iPhone 4 has a much lower autonomy, 1420 mAh. Although finally the duration of the active terminal depends on the handling given by the user, the difference between the two batteries is more than evident.

Let's talk about money: the price of the Nexus 5, depending on its version (16 GB or 32 GB of internal memory), you can find it right now for 360 and 400 € respectively, something that is not bad for the quality of this mid-range. The iPhone 4 is a somewhat more expensive terminal: currently it can be found new for an amount of around 400 euros (389 euros in The Phone House for example) although far from its official starting price at its launch of 799 euros free. However, all this may vary depending on the promotion or rate offered by our operator.
