COMPARING NEXUS 4, IPHONE 5 AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S4
LOOK WHO IS THE BEST AMONG THESE PHONES
OR BEST EVEN THE WHOLE SMARPHONE WORLD
When Samsung released the Galaxy S3 last May, it soon became a best seller. Apple unleashed the iPhone 5 to rival it in September, and the LG Nexus 4 burst onto the scene in November. Which is the best, though?
Processor: The LG Nexus 4 has a 1.5GHz Qualcomm chip, the iPhone 5 has a 1.2 A6 chip and the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a quad-core chip internationally and dual-core in the US. The iPhone 5 is the slowest of the trio on paper, but it’s still twice as fast as the 4S. The Nexus 4 has 2GB of RAM and quad cores, which bests the Galaxy S3, given that it has an option of either a dual-core/2GB setup or a quad-core/1GB. The LG Nexus 4 handset takes a win.
Display: The LG Nexus 4 has a 4.7” screen, with a 1280x768p resolution and a high ppi. The iPhone 5 has a 4” display with an unusual 1136x640p resolution and a 306ppi. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 4.8” Super AMOLED screen with a 1280x720p resolution. The Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 both have the naturalistic IPS tech, and the S3 has the oversaturated (to some) AMOLED looks. I personally prefer the more natural colors of IPS and hence usually skip on the hyper-real outputs of the AMOLED screens. Given that the LG Nexus 4 is IPS and the biggest one with it in this comparison, it covers all bases.
The LG Nexus 4 has 8GB and 16GB versions, but has no SD support. The iPhone 5 comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB options, but again, with no SD. The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes in 16GB and 32GB, but also has SD card support for up to a further 64GB – a clear win for Samsung given that it maxes out at a grand total of 96GB.
The 2,100mAh battery in the LG Nexus 4 should offer around 15 hours of usage, while the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5 will last for around eight hours. At least that is what the specs sheet says. However real world tests show that it is the iPhone 5 that takes the lead followed closely behind by the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 4.
If you want NFC you’ll have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and LG Nexus 4 to pick from; for LTE it’s the Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5. So if you want both, it’s the Samsung alone!
The handsets all have 8MP rear cameras and 1080p video, LED flash and autofocus. The LG Nexus 4 and the iPhone 5 have 1.2MP front cameras, and the Galaxy S3 is 1.9MP. the BSI sensor in the iPhone 5 is still far more brilliant than its rivals in low-light conditions and so bags a win for Apple overall when it comes to cameras.
The LG Nexus 4 weighs 129g and is 133.9mmx68.7mmx9.1mm; the Samsung Galaxy S3 weighs 122g and measures 136.6×70.6mmx8.6mm. The Apple iPhone 5 is the lightest, at 112g, and the smallest in dimensions so it wins out here.
If you’re an Android fan, the LG Nexus 4 is an obvious choice as it has the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update and will get updated faster and more frequently than the Galaxy S3, which has only just left ICS behind. The iPhone 5 runs on iOS 6, which offers a streamlined, stable platform. Android gives you a lot of room for personalization, and with the Nexus 4, the promise of speedy updates. So it’s a clear choice between the LG Nexus 4 and the iPhone 5 only.
Bottom line
For ease of use you can’t beat the iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Smaller budgets might appreciate the LG Nexus 4, despite the lack of LTE and comfortable internal storage size. For the best all-rounder though you have to look at the Galaxy S3, with its multitude of smart features and a fair price tag. It’s the oldest, but it’s still in the lead in my books.
