The LG Nexus 4 and LG Nexus 5 Smartphones are phones subsidized by Google with the integration of the Android operating system. It should be noted that the Nexus 5 incorporates the new Android 4.4 Kit Kat as it is a new Smartphone on the market. Both are excellent value for money and we can place them in the mid-range.

Why not 5? and it has a resolution of 1920 × 1080. Both Smartphones incorporate anti-scratch Corning Gorilla glass. Therefore, we can see the improvement between a phone and its predecessor.

Another aspect in which we see the jump that Google has taken between the two.

In the internal memory you can also see the difference between these two phones. While the Nexus 4 has two models on the market, one 8 GB and the other 16 GB, the Nexus 5 has a 16 GB version and a 32 GB version. The RAM memory is exactly the same in both Smartphones: 2 GB RAM.
