We tried to gather all the information necessary to compare the best the two devices, but with the knowledge that the user experience (one that really does “win” the one or the other smartphone) is greater than the sum of the technical characteristics or specifications of each device .
iPhone 5s and Nexus 5: specific comparison
Into Let’s start with the simplest of indicators. Fewer and fewer users who buy a smartphone today on the basis of performance “dry” of the device.
The components of the iPhone 5s and those of the 5 Google Nexus contribute only in part to really define the characteristics of the two smartphones.
Nevertheless, for those nostalgic for the PC era in which he reasoned in GHz and RAM capacity, and for all those who are interested in “dry” on the form factor and other physical characteristics of the two devices, here is a table direct comparison.

iPhone 5s and Nexus 5, comparison of the rate
result in terms of the results of the above features? What is the smartphone that gives greater feeling of “speed” and “responsiveness”, as the English say?
‘Demand for a million dollars. We are talking about a comparison between apples and pears because the speed of the device depends, in large part, by the software. You could then quibble hours on the optimization level for this particular Android device, over optimization (top, according to many) of iOS on iPhone 5s.
Phonebuff has tried to compare the two smartphones testing similar operations, with results that “they say and do not say.” Overall iPhone 5s appears faster and comes out the winner of the challenge. You could say that the Nexus, by contrast, offers a larger screen (5 “) in full HD, more” demanding “of the screen Retina 4″ iPhone 5s, but it is true that this can not be a justification, since it is not a prototype that we are talking about, but of a finished product for sale and regularly.
Strengths and weaknesses
Into Beyond the possible judgment on the superiority of this or that device that we can form from this comparison, iPhone and Nexus 5 5s each have weaknesses and strengths.
In the photographic industry is unbeatable iPhone 5s For example, both for functionality (with the slow-motion mode to 120 fps), both for image quality. The Nexus 5 “inherits” an Achilles heel of the whole series, although with significant improvements compared to the past.
Again, you could argue for hours because of this difference (Google it is practically equal and aims to acquire a user base, Google will use the personal information to derive additional profit while Apple gets a direct profit from hardware sales, just to name two), but what he sees the customer is a objective difference of 380 €. Google may well be that of a suicidal strategy or not very “clear”, but it is undoubtedly a pricing strategy particularly effective.
are among those who consider an overwhelming advantage the screen size of the new Nexus 5. For the simple reason that the phone is huge. Okay the quality of the screen, but it’s also considered the average size of a pocket and ergonomics.
Personally (and therefore the judgment is subjective) I still prefer the handling of the iPhone 5s.
Android VS iOS
Into On balance, putting the equation the price and other characteristics, the choice comes down once again the age-old debate: is it better iOS or Android is better? Which of the two ecosystems is more suited to the needs of each?
Who he rears in tirades about the nature of Android Open proves not to consider several aspects of the nature of the product and Google often seems inclined to gloss over certain aspects hazy and very little clear, such as privacy, personal information management, the business model that points to a forced integration in an ecosystem functional services to the generation of “consumers of online advertising.”
Into For a more direct comparison between the functionality and user experience of Android and iOS, I refer you to the series of articles # iOStoAndroid, the interesting sociological experiment conducted this summer by our Lucio Botteri. It was not yet available Android KitKat, in that case, but the basics remain the same and is a good starting point to try to understand the differences between the two mobile operating systems seen with the eye of a long-time iOS user.
