Comparison: xiaomi mi 3 vs lg nexus 5

The second assault of the Xiaomi will be carried out by the older brother of the Nexus family, the model number 5. The Chinese model has been stomping and will not be intimidated by another titan in the market like the LG terminal, thanks especially to his two strong that are the camera and its battery. Throughout the article we will talk about how we always do each of its specifications, and at the end we will see, in the opinion of each reader, if their amounts are in line with their characteristics. Go for it:

Screens: practically identical in size thanks to the 5 inches of the Xiaomi and the 4.95 inches of the Nexus 5. They share the same resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels. Both screens also feature IPS technology, which gives them a wide viewing angle and high definition in their colors. The glass manufactured by the Corning company is in charge of preventing protection from bumps and scratches on its screens: Gorilla Glass 3 in the case of the LG and Gorilla Glass in the case of the Xiaomi.

Processors: The Chinese smartphone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8274AB 4-core @ 2.3GHz SoC, while the Nexus 5 features a CPU from the same manufacturer and pretty much the same quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 power running at 2.26 GHz. Both phones also have the same Adreno 330 graphics. The RAM memory of the two terminals contains 2 GB. The operating system present in the Mi3 is none other than the MIUI v5, based on Android 4.1 and in the case of the Nexus 5 Android 4.4 KitKat.

Cameras: They present a remarkable difference, since the Xiaomi has a 13-megapixel Sony Exmor RS main lens, while that of the Nexus 5 has 8 megapixels. Both count with functions such as autofocus and LED flash, which in the case of the Mi3 is dual from philips, which improves the intensity of the light by 30%, allowing higher shutter speeds. Its front cameras are more similar: the Chinese phone has a wide-angle backlit 2-megapixel front camera, while that of the LG Nexus has 2 mega-pixels. Both have the ability to record on video, in the case of the Nexus 5 at 1080p and 30 fps.

Designs: As for the size, the Xiaomi Mi3 has dimensions of 114 mm high x 72 mm wide x 8.1 mm thick. It is surprising that it is very fine considering the battery of this phone, which we will talk about later. It is made of an aluminum-magnesium alloy, allows an ultra-thin design and also has good dissipation thanks to its graphite thermal film. The Nexus has a larger size: 137.84 mm high × 69.17 mm wide × 8.59 mm thick and weighs 130 grams. Its back is made of plastic, which makes it comfortable to the touch and without slipping when in hand. We can find it in full black or white on the back and black on the front.

Batteries: capacity 3050 mAh of the Chinese model is much larger than that of the LG, which contains 2100 mAh, so the difference in their autonomies will be a reality.

Internal Memories: both devices have a model for sale of 16 GB, although they have another that goes up to 32 GB in the case of the Nexus 5 and up to 64 GB if we talk about the Xiaomi Mi3. Neither of them has a microSD card slot.

Connectivity: both terminals have networks such as 3G, WiFi or Bluetooth, although in the case of the Nexus 5 we can also enjoy LTE / 4G support .

Availability and price: The general evaluation that we can make of the Xiaomi Mi3 is excellent. And it is that, taking into account that according to its official page in Spain its price ranges between € 299 for the 16GB model and € 380 for the 64GB model of internal memory, we have a battery and a camera on the phone that we cannot find in Smartphone that double the price of this one. The Nexus 5 at the moment we can find it on its official website for 349 euros (16 GB model ) and for 399 euros (32 GB model). We are therefore talking about a smartphone that has excellent features but at a cost that is not within the reach of the public.
