Nexus 5 vs. Nexus 4

What has changed?
With the Nexus 5, you can finally feel comfortable dropping off the Wi-Fi connection because Google has finally included 4G LTE. An upgrade to the processor also gives the Nexus 5 a jump in power. The Snapdragon 800 runs at 2.26GHz compared to the Nexus 4′s Snapdragon S4 Pro’s 1.5GHz – though the S4 Pro was no slouch. Users can enjoy the new power a little longer with extra battery capacity too – a small upgrade from 2,100mAh to 2,300mAh.
The other big change is in the display. Getting a slight bump in size and a huge upgrade in resolution, the Nexus 5 goes Full HD at 1080 x 1920 pixels, making for an extremely dense 445 pixels per inch. Google has a knack for making devices with crystal clear displays and it seems the Nexus 5 is set to take that tradition to the next level. You’ll use that screen to look at a new version of Android as well, with the introduction of Android 4.4 KitKat. One of the new features of the OS, the burst camera feature HDR+, takesI  advantage of the added optical image stabilization to the phone’s 8-megapixel rear camera.

Google finally launches the Nexus 5 and it's already sold out (almost)


The many weeks of leaks and speculation are over, as Google has announced the Nexus 5 smartphone, although it has done so without a flashy event. Instead Sundar Pichai, Google’s SVP of Android, broke the news through a blog post. Of course, the Nexus 5 also brings with it the latest version of Android, 4.4 KitKat.
Thanks to the leaks, there are few surprises regarding the phone. As expected it has a 5-inch touchscreen, which is covered with Gorilla Glass 3, and boasts a 1080p resolution. The processor is a 2.3GHz, quad-core Snapdragon 800 and 2GB of RAM. The camera mounted on the rear has 8-megapixels, and comes with an LED flash. The good news is it’s equipped with optical image stabilization and HDR+ too.
The 16GB version is already sold out but the 32GB version seems to be in stock.
