LG G3 or Moto Maxx ? Find out which top smartphone is the best buy
Performance: LG G3
The Nexus 5 is based on the last generation G3 and therefore provides a more modest hardware. Its processor is the long-standing Snapdragon 800, while the G3 is already equipped with the higher version Snapdragon 801. In RAM bring the two 2 GB, since version 3 GB of RAM G3 can not be easily found in Brazil.
Despite the difference on paper, on a daily basis the G3 advantage exists but is small. First because its graphics chips are the same, the Adreno 330, and second, because of the G3 screen resolution as it offers more pixels, the hardware has to work much harder to keep them lit
.
Display: LG G3
The G3 wins the Question screen to offer 2K resolution, the pioneer in the Brazilian market. 1440 x 2560 pixels are spread across a 5.5 inch display, resulting in an enormous density of 538 PPI. It is 20% more pixels per inch than that offered by the Nexus 5, whose 5-inch panel has a resolution Full HD
Battery:. LG G3
The biggest weakness of the Nexus 5 is the inconsistency in battery consumption. Even with the upgrade to Android 5.0 and 5.1 “Lollipop” is the impression that the power optimizations promised by Google had no effect. Thus, wait for situations where the battery will last an entire day, and others where it will end in the late afternoon.
The G3 does not have an enviable energy performance, however, loses in this regard to several other 2014 line of tops But at least, consumption does not vary, causing you to make sure that the smartphone will not leave his hand in surprise. In moderate use, the G3 reaches a full day unplugged, or a little less with more frequent use of games and apps
Dimensions:. Nexus 5
smaller screens usually make smartphones become more compact, and this is no different in the Nexus 5. For many, it can have the greatest measures that a phone can have because you can still handle it with one hand and still have a large, vivid display to see videos in high definition.
The half-inch more in the G3 screen makes the device much more difficult to handle, especially for those with small hands. So if you have problems always use the phone with both hands, certainly the Nexus will be a more prudent choice, since avoid accidents
Design:. LG G3
The G3 is a beautiful smartphone. Its curved design, with a screen that occupies almost entirely the front, and the metallized plastic that leaves the body beautiful without compromising weight make it an elegant and discreet device just right. However, the choice of positioning the volume buttons and on / off on the back do not please everyone.
But the Nexus 5 does not bring almost nothing different in design or material. His only highlight is the textured back that prevents it from slipping from the hands
Cameras:. LG G3
Another weakness of the Nexus 5 is its camera, which is not really bad, but that certainly lose to the G3. Its 8 megapixel sensor, in fact, already lost in resolution for the G2, launched in 2013, going even further back the following year with the laser focus of arrival, optical stabilization and a 13-megapixel sensor improved in G3.
The stabilization of the G3′s rear camera also makes it possible to record videos with much less blur, creating a more stable result and better capture ambient light. In the end, last year’s LG top offers an overall experience of photo and video much higher than the Nexus 5 can deliver
Operating System:. Nexus 5
The great asset of the fifth generation of the Nexus is, as always, in the software. He already runs the latest version of Android, 5.1 “Lollipop,” which brought huge design changes on Google’s operating system. There is a native of battery saving system, elegant and fast transitions, plus a host of security and usability improvements.
The G3, on the other hand, it brings an interface with heavy modifications by LG over Android, which offers useful features but affect mainly the appearance and usability. His strengths are unlocking via Knock Code, which can be done on the screen even when it is off; and the opening of two apps at the same time on the screen, just as Samsung has done for some time in the Galaxy line
Price and availability:. LG G3
Despite oldest market, the Nexus 5 can leave even more expensive than the G3. In fact, it is difficult to find the pure Android smartphone with shelves, which worsened after Google officially the end of their manufacture, even in the absence of Nexus 6 successor in the domestic market.
The G3, however, is still available from various online and physical stores, and its price can reach around R $ 1,400, against a minimum of R $ 1,500 charged by the few retailers still have the Nexus 5 in their stocks .
Conclusion
The Nexus 5 is a balanced unit that offers a great experience with pure Android to date, but its outdated hardware lets you back on a comparison with the G3. The 2014 top of the line LG is more robust at all and tends to offer more advantages to those looking to purchase a smartphone for less than £ 1500
You should only choose the Nexus 5 really want to come out ahead in Android updates and wish to have a pure experience in software without any modifications makers and how Google intended. Otherwise, buy the G3 will have a phone with better screen and more competent camera, all at a more affordable price.
In the struggle, the G3 has won six items against only two overcome by Nexus 5.
