We pit the Nexus 5 VS LG G2 and we compare the specs, features, camera, battery life and price to see what is the better smartphone.
Nexus 5 has a 5-inch screen display rendering a resolution of 1080x 1920 pixels with a density of 445 ppi, which is even higher than G2's 423 ppi despite its larger 5.2-inch screen. However, Versus says that the LG G2 has more screen for every bit of side and top bottom bezel, meaning the face of the phone is 75% display, even better than top dogs iPhone 5s and Galaxy's 60%.
If you fancy thinner and lighter phones on the other hand, Nexus 5 looks like a better choice although there's only a slight difference between the two. Nexus weighs 130 g while G2's at 143 g; Nexus is somewhat thinner at 8.59 mm as compared to G2's 8.9 mm.
Both phones are powered by Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 quad-core Krait 400 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz. But as per Geekaphone, G2 still reigns in this aspect with its higher linpack (1054) and quadrant (19815) scores, as compared to Nexus 5's 393 and 8844. Both of the devices carry 2 GB RAM.
Google 5 runs on Android 4.4 Kitkat which is upgradable to 4.4.4 KitKat while the Andoroid 4.4.2 KitKat update is now available for LG G2.
If you want to capture clearer shots, then LG's 13 MP rear camera, 2.1 MP front-facing camera is significantly better than Nexus 5's 8 MP rear camera, 1.3 MP front-facing camera. Their features are almost the same: Back-illuminated sensor (BSI), Autofocus, Touch to focus, Optical image stabilization, Face detection, ISO control, White balance presets, Burst mode, Digital zoom, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Panorama, Scenes, Self-timer, except for the Voice Activation option which is only available in LG G2.
When it comes to battery life, the LG G2 is definitely more powerful than Nexus 5 with its 3000mAh as compared to the latter one's 2300 mAh. 30.43% more battery power makes a lot of difference, doesn't it?
LG G2's 32 GB variant is priced at $420 while Nexus 5 costs $349.
