Comparison: lg nexus 5 vs samsung galaxy s3

We present the comparison of the day today, it is the confrontation between the LG Nexus 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3. Let's start!

Of the Nexus 5 we could say that he is the newborn son of the Nexus family, the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be the father of his family since later we have the Galaxy S4. The first difference between the two is found in the operating system. And is that the Google phone, being so new, has already incorporated the new Android 4.4 Kit Kat. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has Android 4.0 Jelly Bean, which is upgradeable to version 4.2.2.

The size of the Smartphone is something that consumers value more and more when buying a phone since we go with it everywhere. The dimensions of the Galaxy S3 are 70.6 × 136.6 and 8.6 mm with a weight of 133 grams. The Nexus 5, with a very similar size, has measures of 137.84 × 69.17 × 8.59 mm and a weight of 130 grams. Therefore, we do not have very significant differences between both phones in terms of size.

The Nexus 5's screen is 4.95 inches and a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 by 445 pixels per inch. In addition, it is protected with Corning Gorilla 3 Glass to prevent scratches from damaging the screen. The Galaxy S3, with a 4.8-inch screen, has an HD resolution of 720 × 1280, 305 pixels per inch. At this point we already see a noticeable difference in terms of the ppi of each phone.

Let's go now with the internal memory. The Galaxy S3 currently has three models on the market: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. All three are expandable via microSD card. The Nexus 5, with two versions on the market, one of 16 GB and the other of 32 GB, does NOT allow the insertion of a microSD card.

The rear camera of both Smartphones is 8 megapixels, both with autofocus and LED flash. The Nexus 5 also has optical image stabilization from the manufacturer Sony. Both one phone and the other have a front camera, the Nexus 5 with 2 megapixels of resolution and the Galaxy S3 with 1.9 megapixels. We should try both phones to draw a conclusion but a priori they have very good cameras. Remember that not all are megapixels.

Let's go now with the battery, another very important point when evaluating a Smartphone. The one on the Galaxy S3 has a capacity of 2, 100 mAh. The Nexus 5's, somewhat larger, is 2300 mAh. Both endure a daily work day without problems, the Nexus 5 we have proven that more than a day and a half.

The price of both Smartphones, to be the Nexus 5 so new and the Galaxy S3 with some way, does not vary so much between the one and the other. The Nexus 5 can be found now for € 350 and € 400 and the Galaxy S3 for € 310.
