Now that we know everything there is to know about the Nexus 5 , it’s time to compare the best smartphones available on the market. Since the Samsung Galaxy S4 is clearly the most popular Android smartphone of the moment, it is interesting to compare the highly anticipated Nexus
5.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 was introduced there more than six months, and is, like the Galaxy Note 3, the Flagship Smartphone Samsung for 2013. There is little, Samsung has announced that more than 40 million Galaxy S4 had been sold. The popularity of the terminal is therefore no doubt.
Where to buy Galaxy S4 at the best price:Nexus 5 was released a few days ago about this, and his strong point is its price. For 349 euros, you get a high-end Android smartphone unlocked any operator. This is a good value to me. But is it enough to defeat the Galaxy S4
Where to buy the Nexus 5:
If you followed our previous comparisons, you know that the comparison between the Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 will be divided into 10 parts. Smartphones will be judged in terms of performance, size, display, memory, connectivity, processor, camera, battery life, price, operating system and design.
Each round is worth one point, and the winner will be the smartphone that will get the most points.
Dimensions
screens coomprise whose size is between 4.7 and 5.2 inches has become a standard in the market of Android high end smartphones. But the dimensions increase with the size of the display.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 measuring 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm and weighs 130 grams, while the Nexus 5 has almost the same dimensions as its predecessor (the Nexus 4) with 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm. The recently released handset weighs only 130 grams.
Although both smartphones weigh the same, the Nexus 5 is higher than 1.3 mm and 0.7 mm thicker than the Galaxy S4. So the Korean smartphone wins this round.

View
end of 2012 and early 2013, manufacturers of Android smartphones have started to equip their high-end smartphones screens full HD. The Galaxy Nexus 5 and S4 are no exception.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (441 ppi) and a protective Gorilla Glass 3. The Nexus 5 has meanwhile one inch full HD True HD IPS screen 4.95 More with a resolution of 1080 x 1920, 445 ppi and protection Gorilla Glass 3.
Both displays provide brightness and contrast to none. The Super AMOLED is more economical than the Nexus 5 IPS screen, but the screen of the Galaxy S4 is not visible in the sun while the color reproduction is far from accurate. The Nexus 5 thus wins this round because the screen is better.

Memory
In July 2013, one million applications were available on Google Play Store, so you might want enough storage on your smartphone to enjoy it. Not to mention that you also need to store your videos, photos and books.
The Nexus 5 is only available in 16 or 32GB of storage, without the ability to expand the memory with a microSD card. In addition to the microSD card support (up to 64 GB), Samsung Galaxy S4 disponble version 16, 32 and 64 G0. So it can have a maximum of 128 GB of storage.
I guess it’s clear to everyone that the Galaxy S4 won the battle of the storage space.

Connectivity
While Nexus 4 released last year did not support LTE (well yes, but no. Visit here to learn more about the Nexus 4G 4), its successor may now connect to the world’s fastest mobile networks. Let us look at the connectivity of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and S4
5.
The Korean unit has: HSDPA, 42.2 Mbps, HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, dual-band, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, NFC, IR blaster, and microUSB 2.0
Nexus 5 has about him. HSDPA, 42.2 Mbps, HSUPA , 5.76 Mbps, LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, dual-band, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and microUSB 2.0.
Did you find the difference? If this is not the case, I can tell you that the only difference in terms of connectivity comes from the infrared port installed on the Samsung Galaxy S4. This does not justify an extra point for the Korean unit. The two end devices that handle equality.

Processor
processors for Android smartphones have improved in recent years, and in less than a year, they should adopt a 64-bit architecture.
As you probably know, two variants of the Galaxy S4 are currently available on the market, each with a different processor. The Samsung i9500 has Exyonos 5410 8-core processor with 4 cores Cortex A15 1.6GHz Cortex A7 and 4 1.2 GHz low power consumption and GPU PowerVR SGX 544MP3. While the I9505 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon Krait 600 with 4 cores 300 to 1.9 GHz and Adreno 320 GPU. It should be noted that this is the I9505 Galaxy S4 we find in France.
Nexus 5 has one of the fastest processors that is used in an Android Smartphone, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 with 4 400 Krait cores clocked at 2.26 GHz and an Adreno 330 graphics chip.
Since the processor of the Nexus 5 is more powerful than any processor used in the Galaxy S4, developed by Google and LG smartphone gets an additional point.
Here is a benchmark test video:

Camera
We all love taking pictures with our smartphones, and with all the improvements made by Google Google Plus Photos, it would be nice to have a good camera on the back of your smartphone.
The Google Nexus 5 has a camera of 8 MP with autofocus, optical image stabilization, LED flash, geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection and photosphere. It also enables you to shoot in 1080p at 30fps. Even if the Nexus has a 5 camera 8 MP as its predecessor, the new camera is higher than the Nexus 4. In any case, it suggests that the first images taken with the camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 13 MP camera with autofocus, LED flash, can record sound and image simultaneously, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, stabilization image, HDR and ability to shoot full HD.
Galaxy S4 is known to have one of the best cameras on the market. This goes directly to the Korean smartphone. Moreover, you can watch the video below to see the comparison for yourself:
Nexus 5: 3 – Galaxy S4: 4
Battery
The battery modern smartphones has become a real problem, since it is almost impossible to find a smartphone that can take more than a day. With the exception of phablettes.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a removable Li-Ion 2,600 mAh. During our test, the battery held more than 24 hours and for comparison, the Galaxy S4 is better than iPhone 5s level of autonomy after a full charge.
Nexus 5 has a non-removable Li-Po 2300 mAh which I regret, is not up to the other high-end smartphones of the moment, of course, you will to hold a day in normal use, but can in no way compete with the Galaxy S4 which is about 4:30 p.m. on appeal in 395 minutes surfing the internet etc. …
So the Galaxy S4 emerges victorious in this round.

price and where to buy
Nexus 4 showed that a high-end smartphone sold affordable necessarily a great success. Google takes a similar approach with the Nexus 5. The recently announced device is sold 349 euros in version 16 G0 and 399 euros in 32 G0, provided the purchase on the Google Play Store. Obviously. However, as the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 is scarce so the resellers sell more expensive, but rest assured, LG will refund 70 euros for the purchase of a Nexus in a 5 hereof shops in the table following example (see this article for more information: LG will refund 70 euros to buy a Nexus 5 this year):

What makes the Google Nexus 5 wins this round.
Nexus 5: 4 – Galaxy S4: 5
Operating System
Although we compare two Android smartphones, you will see that there are many differences between them.
Galaxy S4 uses Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean (an update to Android 4.3 is currently under deployment) with the overlay Samsung TouchWiz Nature. Touchwiz brings many impressive features such as Air Controls / Gestures, Stay Smart, Smart Pause, Smart Scroll, Air View, Group Play, S Translator, or S Health. Although all these features are pretty cool and work well, you will use only. The real innovation of Touchwiz on the Galaxy S4 comes from the camera application which has the functions Eraser, Photo Cinema, Drama Shot, Sound and Shot, Dual Shot and Dual Video.
Nexus 5 uses the latest version of Android ie Android 4.4 KitKat is updated Android the largest since Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. KitKat with Android 4.4, the “” Go Google “command also works on the home screen (microphone constantly on), the cover of an album or a movie is displayed on the entire screen lock when a film or video is played. The immersion allows you to play, watch videos and play games in full screen (it is possible to display the notification bar with a downward movement), and multi-task yet been improved.
Android 4.4 provides many other improvements. Including a new phone application, the presence of SMS in Hangouts, Cloud Print and integrated Google Emoji keyboard.
Same if Touchwiz is one of the best Android interface on the market, nothing beats a (nearly) pure Android experience. Not to mention the Nexus 5 will always be the first to receive the latest updates. An additional point for the Nexus.

Design
Ask fans what Samsung is the biggest flaw of the smartphones of the brand, most say it is about design. And I fully understand the Galaxy S4 is one of the smartphones in the market less attractive design.
Galaxy S4 borrows some elements of the design of the Galaxy S3 last year. Mails it adds some more upscale touches here and there. The aluminum frame around the hull of the smartphone for example. There is not much to say about the Galaxy S4, except that there is the most beautiful smartphones that last.

Some of you may find that the Galaxy S4 is better than the Nexus 5, but it is a matter of taste. From my perspective, the Nexus 5 is better than the Galaxy S4. The device using Android KitKat therefore wins this round.

Conclusion
If written conclusion of the paragraph above, it means that we have finished our comparison between the Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4. It also means that we must begin to count the points and see what smartphone wins the battle.
I’ll start by saying that smartphones were left tied in a single round which is the connectivity, so you have a total of 11 points in all instead of 10.
