Comparison: nexus 5x vs iphone 6s

We arrived at one of the points with the greatest differences between both smartphones, since they both mount two very different hearts that have nothing to do with each other, making it very difficult to compare them fairly, especially when they are governed by two operating systems. they also have nothing in common.
The Nexus 5X mounts a powerful and controversial Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 manufactured in 20nm and consisting of four Cortex A 53 cores at 1.44 GHz and two other Cortex A57 at 1.82 GHz . This time the graphics are carried out by the powerful Adreno 418 GPU. In short, a processor with a very remarkable power that will have no problem with any application.

For its part, the iPhone 6S mounts an Apple A9 processor manufactured by both TSMC at 16nm and Samsung at 14nm and consisting of two Cyclone cores at 1.84 GHz, an own design by Apple based on Cortex A57 but with a good dose of steroids for offering performance per core unattainable by other processors although the fact of mounting only two cores places it below in situations where all the cores of other chips will be used. This time the graphics are done by the PowerVR GT7600 GPU . Next to the Apple A9 processor is an M9 coprocessor that is responsible for processing all the data from the sensors.

RAM and storage

The iPhone 6S has 2 GB of RAM and presents the possibility of choosing between 16/64/128 GB internal storage. For its part, the Nexus 5X is presented with 2 GB of RAM and storage options of 16/32 GB. We emphasize that in both cases you will NOT be able to expand its storage as it lacks a microSD slot.

OS

If the processor was one of the most different aspects between both smartphones, the operating system is as much and even more so. In the case of the Nexus 5X Android 6.0 Marshmallow that promises great improvements in performance and power management, perhaps the two weakest points of the Google operating system.

For its part, the iPhone 6S has an iOS 9 specifically designed to work with Apple hardware and extract every last drop of performance. A software known for its enviable performance and fluidity.

Two very different operating systems, at this point Apple starts with the advantage of having software that adapts to your hardware like a key does with its corresponding lock.

Battery

The iPhone 6S offers a battery with a capacity of 1, 715 mAh. On the other hand, the Nexus 5X offers a considerably larger battery of 2, 700 mAh, in both cases they are NOT removable. On paper, the Nexus 5X seems much superior in this regard, although it remains to be seen how both operating systems will manage energy.

Connectivity

Both terminals have connections such as WiFi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac, 3G, 4G LTE, Bluetoothot 4.0 and NFC. Here the Nexus 5X is more versatile with its USB 3.1 Type-C port that is destined to become the new standard for high-end smartphones.

Availability and price:

The iPhone 6S has a starting price of 749 euros in its 16 GB version while the Nexus 5X has a considerably lower starting price, 479 euros in its 16 GB version. Almost 200 euros difference that make the Nexus 5X a much better smartphone in relation to price / performance.
