It has been more than two weeks since the presentation of the expected Nexus 5 we have already had the opportunity to show you comparative of technical specifications with the most interesting devices of the moment, as well as some of the first independent analysis to which it has been subjected so far. We have not yet had the opportunity, in any case, to address one of the main questions that will arise especially to those who already have a Nexus 4: Is the change worth it? To help you assess this issue, we bring you today a video in which the main features of the two devices.
Design and dimensions
As you already know, dimensions have not changed much between both generations despite the fact that the screen has increased to practically 5 inches: the Nexus 5 it is a little longer and wider, but also slightly thinner. Regarding the design, however, there has been a major change, the back cover, which has abandoned the Cristal and now it's from plastic, very much in the style of the Nexus 7. Which one is more attractive to you? The video shows them to us in detail and allows you to appreciate them with total clarity, but also invites us to consider other aspects in addition to the purely aesthetic: a glass case may be less resistant.
Screen and camera
One of the most forceful improvements in technical specifications is the one that has taken place in the resolution section: compared to the HD display of the Nexus 4, in the Nexus 5 we now find a fantastic screen Full HD (a little bigger, too, as we said). Those who use their smartphone frequently with games with good graphics and to watch movies, will probably notice quite a difference. Regarding the camera, in principle, the only improvement that has been introduced is the optical image stabilizer, which is probably not in itself any great incentive to make the change, but the samples of photographs taken with both devices, in any case, make it clear that there is some improvement in picture quality (even for the front camera).
Unlimited
The other great evolution between Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, along with the screen, is that of the processor, which goes from a frequency of 1,5 GHz to one of 2,3 GHz. Although no benchmark would leave room for doubt as to which of the two is more powerful, the truth is that it cannot be blamed too much in terms of fluency al Nexus 4, especially after the improvements made in the latest updates. Regarding the operating system, however, since they are two smartphones Nexus there should be no big differences and lovers of Android stock They could be satisfied with either of the two, but the truth is that, as we already mentioned, there are some characteristics of 4.4 Android KitKat what it seems they will be Nexus 5 exclusive.
