It was a good year for Google and Apple, with both releasing their new mobile phones- Nexus 6 vs. iPhone 6.
The new smartphones are undeniably powerful, sleek and noteworthy. Both possess unique features, but which will suit your needs best?
Here's a quick comparison of Nexus 6 vs. iPhone 6 specs:
Size
Nexus 6: 159 x 82 x 10mm, 184g
iPhone 6: 138 x 67 x 6.9mm, 129g
Screen & Display
The iPhone 6 packs a 4.7 inch screen with a 1334x750 LCD and a 326ppi pixel density, while the Nexus 6 has a quad HD screen with a 493 ppi pixel density.
"The Nexus 6 uses AMOLED technology - just as the Moto X does - while the iPhone sticks with more conventional IPS LCD. We've yet to test the Nexus 6's screen, but we have reviewed both Moto X models and if the Nexus 6 is anything like it, then contrast will be excellent, colours very saturated and viewing angles more than wide enough," Tech Advisor noted.
Camera
According to Forbes, "Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sport an f/2.2 aperture which Apple says will take in 81% more light and an upgraded 'True Tone' flash for more realistic flash lighting."
"Where the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus differ, however, is their image stabilisation. Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) has become a mainstay of most premium smartphones - it moves the lens around to minimise camera shake that causes blurred shots - and it comes to the iPhone 6 Plus."
The Nexus 6 on the other hand boasts of a 13Mp main camera that has an f/2.0 aperture and can shoot 4K video at 30fps.
Performance
Along with the launch of the new Nexus, Google also announced the newest version of its mobile OS- the Android 5.0 Lollipop. The new Nexus 6 runs on a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor and has a 3GB RAM.
The iPhone 6 on the other hand, runs on Apple A8 with the M8 co-processor and has 1GB RAM.
Battery
According to V3, "The Nexus 6 is powered by a 3220mAh battery, while the iPhone 6 runs on an unspecified battery that Apple claims will offer 11 hours of video playback."
"Testing the two we found that the Nexus 6 had a clear lead and generally lasted around one and a half to two days from one charge with regular use. By comparison, the iPhone 6 usually lasted between one to one and a half days."
