iPhone 5 vs. Nexus 4 – Spec Sheet Comparison
Whenever a new flagship phone is launched by any other manufacturer, we love to compare it to our personal favorite. If only for interest’s sake. LG and Google recently announced the long-rumored Nexus 4. Packing a “True HD”, 1280 x 768, 4.7-inch IPS display, an 8MP snapper and a powerful quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, it certainly seems a formidable opponent.
Spec-wise, there are certain areas that stand out on both phones. The size and weight of the iPhone 5 is something I consider a huge advantage in terms of day-to-day use. On the other side, the LG’s display sure looks like it will impress, it’s huge and packed full of pixels. Also, it’s bound to be incredibly quick with its 1.5GHz quad-core processor. Form factor wise, both are pretty iconic by now. The iPhone’s front face looks similar to all its predecessors, and – bar the Nexus One – so does the Nexus 4. In fact, very little distinguishes it from the Galaxy Nexus launched by Samsung last year.
When it comes to user experience, it’s hard to tell what it’s going to be like from just the spec sheet alone. That said, I can’t imagine that – with the refinements in Android and the Play Store – the LG will a poor device. My only concern is with LG’s brand name. In the mobile space, it’s not strong. I know I’m certainly put off by it having used LG devices in the past and been unimpressed. However, there is hope if Google’s had a big part to play in the design and tweaking it to work “just right” with the “Pure Google”.

For quite some time I read comments on Apple Vs Samsung or iPhoneVs S3, but never they made sense to me. I don't even understand the hate between so called "Droids" Vs "Fanboys".
I hope my firts comment on the subject does not raise any animosity towards me, because, my intention is not to offend anyone. It resumes to be just one more opinion between so many.
I like my IPhone, and that's a statement.
As I see it, to buy an iPhone is a matter of vanity and status.
Bare with me as I try to explain it.
In the 80's everybody knew that to buy a Ferrari was not the smastest way to spend your money, nevetheless, there was no crisis in the Maranello Company. Everyone could augue that, it was better to buy a Porsche, because it was more realiable, it wasn't a "primadonna" car, had more features, better drive, better seats, it was less expensive, etc.
All the world also aknoladged that Porsche sold more than Ferrari.
Nevertheless, a Ferrari was a status car, when one went by, despite all the problems that they could carry, it was a moment when everybody turned their heads to appeciate.
We never called the Ferrari owners stupid, or crazy. They were faithful to a brand that didn't sell the "best" car in the world, Ferrari were and still are the most iconic.
This might explain why today Apple enjois a legion of fans, that despite all comparisons still feel priveleged to hava an iPhone on their hands, and not a Samsung or HTC or Nokia.
Samsung, HTC, and Nokia, for me, lost some flair by making other equipments with lower prices and making them more accesible for more people. It's more common to my my house maid with a low cost Samsung than with an Apple iPhone. And this my friends, I call exclusiviness.
I repeat, with this comment I do not intend to criticize or offend anyone, please note that this is just one opinion of a human being that is intitled to have one.
Thank you for your patience and sorry for my written english as I'm Portuguese.
