    In 2012 the competition was close, in 2014 we're seeing android reach its true potential and there is no question as to who provides the better smartphone, even if there were no cost difference, the nexus 6 is vastly superior to the iphone 6 in horsepower and features.

  • @adrianmh
    @adrianmh 10 років тому +8

    Having to buy a case for your phone to me is a design flaw. Cellphones are meant to be thrown around pretty much on a daily basis, manufacturers ought to consider that when designing a phone.
    It's kind of like if you bought a new set of tires for your car and the retailer tells you to only drive a maximum of 50mph so they don't take damage.

    • @PMeursault
      @PMeursault 10 років тому

      I always thought cases were stupid, they make any phones design irrelevant by making it clunky and thick

    • @fouter81
      @fouter81 10 років тому

      PMeursault Yeah cases are stupid. "The phone has a great design, therefore you need an ugly case" what kind of logic is that?

    Til this day my Nexus 4 is still running smoothly on anroid best version 5.1.1 while my iphone 5s(!) struggling to run ios 9.3.1. Now i can say that pure stock android phones are better.

    • @lhk7006
      @lhk7006 8 років тому +1

      i am using an iPhone 5s with iOS 10. You should do a factory reset.

    • @lhk7006
      @lhk7006 8 років тому

      ***** What did you do to your iPhone. If Apple allows iOS 9 on it then it should run perfectly. Try restoring your device through iTunes

    I'm really pleased with what Google did with the Nexus 4. I usually cannot afford high-end phones as I am not old enough to get a contract. The Nexus 4 is right up there with the big boys and rightly so. Can't wait to order mine! :)

    I'm thinking of buying a nexus 4 for my birthday which is in September, i am very impatient and don't really want to wait for the nexus 5 to come out some time around november and will probably be a few weeks if not months after that until i get my hands on it due to expected high demand, so i was just wandering if you think it would still be worth my time to purchase a nexus 4 after nearly a year of it being released?

  • @cescodova

    I highly recommend that in future comparison reviews you use the same browser. The iPhone had Chrome on it so I'm not sure why you were using safari to compare to chrome.

  • @KnightHawk1990
    @KnightHawk1990 11 років тому

    Try putting custom ROMs on the Nexus 4, which gives it the ability fix the contrast on the screen (removing any yellowish-white appearance), overclocking the CPU so that performs even faster than it does out of the box, and also equip it with a hacked custom camera which gives it better quality photos and video as well. Just one of the many reasons why I will always prefer a high-end Android device over a high-end iPhone.

  • @hotgluegunguy
    @hotgluegunguy 11 років тому

    Isn't the Nexus 4 downscaling HD video as well? Because the buttons take up some of the screen space, leaving less resolution left for video.

  • @Ofirinb

  • @reidsmith3002
    @reidsmith3002 10 років тому

    were the phones connected to the same wifi source? it seems like if they were each connected to their own individual wifi link, it would be a more fair test, and i would assume that the iphone opens game apps faster because a lot of games for mobile phones seem to be designed specifically for "the app store"

  • @ezumach
    @ezumach 11 років тому

    My gf has an iPhone 5. I just received my Nexus 2 days ago. Now she wants to sell her iPhone 5 and buy the Nexus 4. Android is free and open source, and for sure they will win the battle against iOS. I can honestly say that this was the best deal I have ever bought. It costs $600+ in Asia and Europe. Get it now before they are out of stock. The 8gb is already sold out...

  • @808jspekeg6
    @808jspekeg6 11 років тому

    This Nexus 4 was a reviewer version, which was one of the first Nexus 4 released. Some of the initial released Nexus 4 had a yellow tint due to glue not having sufficient time to cure. Even the initial released iphone 5 suffered a large amount of defected yellow tinted screens.
    Watch any other Nexus 4 vs iphone 5 review, and you'll see that their Nexus 4 doesn't have yellow tint.
    Nexus 4 runs true multitasking, widgets, live wallpapers, etc., and is still faster then the iphone 5.

  • @codylujan
    @codylujan 11 років тому

  • @aalr1986
    @aalr1986 11 років тому

    depends on what's important to you.
    Need a bigger and faster phone? Go for the Nexus.
    Need more vibrant colors and a smaller body? Go for iPhone.
    (I just used the same criteria you did)

  • @100kby35
    @100kby35 11 років тому

    The iPhone 5 and Nexus 4 both have retina display (about 330 ppi). However, high-end Android phones now have full HD 1080p displays (440+ ppi), e.g. on the Galaxy S4, HTC One, and Xperia Z.
    The Galaxy S4 costs approximately the same amount as the iPhone 5, yet the Galaxy S4 is over two times more powerful than the iPhone 5.

    I love the iPhone ecosystem and how everything interacts seamlessly with iTunes. I like taking my four rows of apps and putting them into one folder. IOS 7 is just buttery smooth and it iOS 7 just feels more secure to android Jelly Bean. Apple gives it's customers what they need and it just works.

    I was an android user back when froyo was the current one. I am now an iOS user and enjoy iOS with iOS 7! But after buying the nexus 7 I love android too. My cousin is trying to buy an iPhone right now, but I told her she should look at the nexus 4. Since it's only 250. But the nexus 5 is right around the corner...

    Even though I'm a fan of android apple still looks good design wise and also features. But the Nexus 4 still looks good and is just as fast. The Nexus 4 is also cheaper and even larger than apples small phone, so I'd have to go with the Nexus 4! Although I would want to change the boring dark backgrounds to a brighter one that shows that screen even more. I also don't have to worry about cracking because I'm the case wearing type of person. Great and non-biased review!!!!!

  • @seanquach2869
    @seanquach2869 11 років тому

    For a person who likes modding/playing/tweaking around with their phones, nexus 4 becomes the clear winner...look at xda with millions in the community to support the nexus with mutiple os's and kernels/optimizations which make fluidity very near to ios and customizability which far exceeds the iphone 5. In other words the comparing the iphone 5 to the nexus is like a ferrari vs gtr. A ferrari looks nice, more praised and expensive and the nexus is a bargain for performance.

  • @Veemes1
    @Veemes1 11 років тому

    I dislike how he referenced the Galaxy Nexus' camera specification when testing the Iphone and Nexus 4's cameras. It gave the impression that the Nexus had the same specification. Instead, he should've strictly spoken about the Iphone 5's camera specification and the Nexus 4's 8 megapixel camera. That could've potentially dissuade Nexus 4 consumers.

  • @user10476
    @user10476 11 років тому

    Optimus G lacks the most important thing from Nexus 4: fast updates from Google. LG has shown in the past that they are incapable of updating their phones.
    Cores are not important at all, it's all about user experience. But other than that I'm on your side. Thicker phones with more battery is better!

  • @AdmiralBrent
    @AdmiralBrent 11 років тому

    Steve Jobs heavily argued that smartphone hardware AND software should be controlled by the same company in order to create a high-end smartphone. Well I think the Nexus 4 is the first who accomplishes this, in a REAL good phone.

    OK i tried both and from my experience:
    - iPhone 5 screen have more vibrant colors,
    - N4 big screen is a big plus for big thumbs,
    - Browsing on N4 is generally smoother,
    - iPhone 5 has a smaller body, thus easier to carry,
    That is enough to make me confused to choose between both @_@

    Nexus won on the web browsing. Apple uses a marketing strategy where yes, it won by finishing loading the bar, but if you see on the status bar the circle is still rotating. Something I thought you knew since you were a reviewer. But I was wrong.

    @rugbyfan0025 11 років тому

    I put my nexus next to my buddy's iphone5 and looked at the exact same beach pictures and the difference was hardly visible to the naked eye. The nexus is faster in nearly every aspect, it has about equal battery life, way bigger screen, and I've dropped it about 3 times with a 20 dollar case and there are no scratches or damage done to it.....It is currently 0 dollars at most cell phone carriers with a 150 dollar tab. The iPhone is about 500 with a 150 dollar tab. Nexus 4 crushes the iphone5.

  • @808jspekeg6
    @808jspekeg6 11 років тому

    Design? Both are beautifully "Designed" phones.
    Performance? Nexus 4 is ridiculously fast & buttery smooth while simultaneously able to perform true multitasking (i.e., background downloads, live wallpapers, widgets, animation, etc.). iphone 5 can only merely SINGLE task.
    Battery life? Battery life is slightly better on the iphone 5.
    Features: Nexus 4 hands down wins (NFC, Beam, Google Wallet, Wireless charging, DLNA media transfer,Default settings, customization, no restrictions,integrated)

  • @pulmonq2
    @pulmonq2 11 років тому

    I prefer the more generous mentality of Google, but I respect Apple for their build quality and aesthetics, even if they do demand a premium price for their products (kind of like Disney). Many Android products feel too plastic/bulky. The only Android phone I actually liked the build quality/aesthetics of was the Atrix HD. That kevlar coated backing felt great and that plus the contoured shape kept it secure in the hand. It had heft, compact build, nice bright screen, good call quality, etc.

  • @808jspekeg6

    Guys the new nexus 5 has been leaked in a video by google! It was saddly taken down a couple minutes ago... It was when they were revealing the statue and at 0:38. One of the googlers was taking a picture with the new nexus next to someone holding the old one. There isn't much to see, but it looks like its platic, will have at least a 5 inch screen, and it has a gigantic camera lens. I'll try to find the video! I was considering downloading the video, but I was too late...

    I heard that LG made a very good job on Nexus. I have an iPhone, but willing to change to Nexus 4. I know Galaxy S3, and it is really plastic. Is really Nexus 4 that bad?

    Why is the Nexus 4 sliding down at 1:35?
