Apple iPhone 5S Vs LG Nexus 5 (32GB)

Size

Nexus 5, with its super thin design and light weight, is incredibly pocket-friendly. Compared to the iPhone, Nexus is 11 percent longer, 17 percent wider and 13 percent thicker but still bags good points on easy operability.

Build

As far as the build of these phones goes, it’s plastic vs. aluminum. Nexus 5 has a smooth high-end matte finish. But the slick and slim aluminum design of iPhone 5S makes it one of the best looking devices in the market.

Color

Nexus 5 is available in two solid colors – standard black and white – which do look much better than its previous versions. iPhone 5S has mixed it up further this year by adding a brand new gold color. While the grey iPhone handset supports a black front, the gold and silver models come with white faces.

Screen Display

By setting the standard really high for screen displays by introducing retina display, iPhone 5S is bigger and better than ever before. But Nexus 5 is doesn’t lag behind. LG has provided Nexus 5 with a beautiful 1080p 4.95-inch display that creates a festivity of colors.

While Nexus provides a great-clarity 445 pixel per inch display, iPhone offers only 326 pixels per inch.

Camera

Apple comes with one of the best cameras in the industry. iPhone 5S offers an increased sensor size of 15% which will shoot improved photos in low-lighting. The aperture has also been increased from F/2.4 to F/2.2 which invites 25% more light in to the frame. Also, its new True Tone dual-LED flash results in better accuracy in color reproduction. On the other hand, Nexus 5 offers a fairly mediocre camera at best. However, one can accept better camera functionality with the latest Android 4.4.2 update which brings faster auto-focus with better color tones.

Battery Performance

The iPhone 5S non-removable Li-Po 1560 mAh battery offers over 250 hours of standby time with 10 hours of talk time and 40 hours of music play.

Nexus 5 too leads neck-to-neck with 5S with its small 2300mAh battery that can last up to 17 hours of 3G talk time with a total of 300 hours of standby time. Comparing the phones just became tougher.

Fingerprint sensor

Apple’s Touch ID sensor is perhaps the most striking feature of iPhone 5S. All it requires is the setting of a pass code and feeding the phone up to five fingerprints and simply by resting a finger on the home button, the phone will unlock. This amazing security feature finds no home in Nexus 5.
