The Nexus 4 and the iPhone 5 are, along with the Samsung Galaxy S3, the three devices of the year. The first of them has stood out especially because of how difficult it has been to get hold of one of them. So much so that it is no longer even known if the device will be sold in a massive way. Either way, it's still a good smartphone. Proven it is when we compare it with the iPhone 5 and we see the 10 things that the latter cannot do, and the former can.
Everything is shown in a short video analysis, which we will go on to paraphrase and analyze. There are 10 things that can be done with a Nexus 4 and that cannot be done with an iPhone 5. Yes, the Apple device is not all-powerful, no matter how much they want us to believe from the Cupertino headquarters. It has its flaws, and apparently many more than we think. When you read the following lines you will realize that it is not only virtues of the Nexus 4, but that many basic Android Android share some of these 10 aspects in which the iPhone 5 is improved. Let's start.
App integration: It may seem silly, but anyone who has used Android for a few weeks at the end realizes the usefulness of this feature. When we are looking at an image, an email, a message, a phone number, etc. We can click on the Share button, thus seeing all the possible options. We have sharing by email, WhatsApp or other messaging services, send to Dropbox, Drive or other hard drives in the Cloud, send to social networks, and all the available options depending on the installed applications. We can do all this on the Nexus 4. On the iPhone 5 we can only send by email, and recently the options to share on Facebook and Twitter have been added. Even my mother uses the Share feature on her Android.
Apple Maps is the default browser: What do you do when you launch a map service that is, in a word, nefarious? Make it the default map application of the system and thus get annoying each of the users who buy your mobile and who do not like it. That is, 99% of users who bought the iPhone. The 1% is made up of family members who worked on the development of Apple Maps. Can we install another map application? If we can do. Now, if you send us some coordinates to the email, or a link with a geolocation, the application that will open is Apple Maps, because it is the default, and there is no way to change it. While Nexus 4 has the best application, Google Maps, and it is developed by the same company that develops the company's software, that always counts, right?
NFC: Apple has given up on this wireless data transfer system. We do not know if it will expand too much. Although it has had a lot of support, the truth is that it has not just prevailed. The fact that Apple had included it could have been decisive for this system to be established, but it has not been the case. If we want to take advantage of NFC functions of some kind we will have to opt for the Nexus 4 again.
Google Now: - «Hello Siri, how do I get home? " - 'I've found three' my house 'near you. If we were developing an intelligent voice recognition service that was able to understand what we say and give us a response, we would know how we would not have to do it, like Siri. Google seemed willing to launch a response to this system with Google Now, but instead of a voice system, it opted for a system that gives us information automatically based on our searches and activity. It's not a panacea, either, but at least it serves a useful purpose. Available on Nexus 4 with Android Jelly Bean.
Larger screen: This is the highlight. Apple opted for a too small, four-inch screen, which was still larger than the previous iPhone 4. Steve Jobs himself said that too large screens were useless, that the iPhone was the perfect size. He could not do something different now, of course, so they decided to break the word of their great leader, but in a less exaggerated way. They made a four-inch screen, which is still just as useful as before, for playing tamagotchi and little else. Meanwhile, the Nexus 4 is 4,7 inches, and the difference is immense in practice.
Wireless charging: Few of you will use it, but all of you who are interested in wireless charging can forget about it. A thousand times it was said that Apple was going to introduce a battery that could be charged wirelessly in its smartphone. However, it has been Google with its first phone, the Nexus 4, which has done it.
widgets: A menu and all the applications that we have on the screen. That's iPhone 5. A menu, interactive applications, shortcuts to specific application functions, fully customizable screens, that's Nexus 4. It's all a matter of taste and being honest with yourself. What do you prefer to see all the applications on the screen and that's it? Congratulations, they say that it will soon be sold together with the 600 Fiat 1940, surely you prefer that one too because it parks better.
Softkeys: Apple was one of those companies whose executives you saw coming up on the platform of any keynote, and everything they said made sense and you could almost believe it at face value. That's what happened to me when I read why Google removed the physical buttons and put them inside the Nexus 4 screen. It's simple, the device has no specific orientation. Use it upside down, horizontally, vertically, jump from the stratosphere, it doesn't matter with the Nexus 4, because the menu and control buttons will always be in the correct position. The iPhone 5 has a button, and then it will start to be useless, not to mention the problems it gives when it gets dirty and starts to fail.
Keyboard: What do you write faster with, the Nexus 4 keyboard or the iPhone 5 keyboard? If my life were at stake, I would bet on the hundreds available for the Nexus 4, and not on the only one available for the iPhone 5. And that, for the record, I really like Apple's.
Photo Spheres: Showing off on social media is essential today. Let's face it, it is not the same to go to the beach and take a normal photo and upload it to Twitter, than to take our Nexus 4, activate Photo Sphere, and take a photograph of the entire coast that surrounds us, in a brutal panorama. That is what makes you envious. iPhone 5 does not carry it as standard.
Siri will fail sometimes, but it is the one used in general motors for their cars, http://www.inforegion.com.ar/noticia/14996/general-motors-el-primer-fabricante-de-autos-en-incorporar-siri , when nexus 4 does it, let me know
That the iphone 5 does not incorporate 360 photos as standard! ?????? Hahaha dedicate something else guys! o INFORM before you speak just to talk. And who says that having a tablet pants is an advantage? And please! LG is LG AND APPLE, yes, APPLE is APPLE. Come on, it's like buying a Chevrolet with a Mercedes benz, what are we talking about ????
Learn to write first of all and then give your opinion
Suck it on me
Shit hipster
Hahaha let's go like this or more geek this guy because I want an android that despite being pure android is just as slow as the others so I want those things that are put on the home screen if they are useless apart from slowing down the phone and spending battery let's die let's go lg better not speak, well but continue in your fantasy world with its 4 or 6 cores and its 2 or 4 gigabytes of RAM to see when they reach the fluency of ios and with their 5-inch screens to see where they put them and Let me tell you how are the games? I enjoy any game and I don't need to have the latest terminal as well as the updates. I have an iPhone 4S and they are immensely happy but this type of article that tries to discredit me infuriates me if it is better that way. they do not need to be friendly or find in the end people know which terminal to buy
Eduardo sure you are a normal user who does not know what you can get with an android.
an iphone is for the mediocre while an android is for the developers.
Developers and android more than in ios ???? I can assure you that the development of an app for ios is much more optimized than for android and its frightening fragmentation with its 10000000 models that exist. Or do you want to call developer to put some widgets, change colors or put an unstable rom like all there are?
Developers = Android -> iOS = Capadisimo
Conversely. Many specialized computer scientists work on the development of the iOS, particularly its jailbreak.
As iOS is more unified compared to Android, their jobs will last longer, which is obviously more convenient for them. The Cydia community, for example, is a hotbed of true experts.
It would be good to inform yourself before denigrating others (:
It is clear that he speaks for speaking without knowing anything about the subject ... he must have an android and he defends it for that.
And Android no? Precisely because of the ease of creating applications on Android, many start their way there, and some create great applications with the tools they have ...
It is what Java has, it is not the best, but it is quite versatile and functional, logical, being a pseudo-interpreted language that can be executed from any system in which the Java execution machine is installed ...
That's both the advantage and the disadvantage of Android, its Dalvik execution machine. But it may be changed for the better, Google will soon replace Dalvik with ART, another new execution machine much more optimized. I doubt that it is comparable to using native code, which would be its thing and it can also be done on Android, but users of the N4 and N5 who can use it claim to have better results in terms of performance and battery.
I think here 99% of people are talking just to talk without having any idea how Android or iPhone works ...
One is worth 300 and the other more than 600 with that is dichot odo
And the Samsung Galaxy S3 did not cost the same 600 euros, let's go and whoever complained about the price, a friend has it and complains that the applications are blocked, and there are times that the terminal also, apart from the horrors that it can not play and it is not a cheap terminal.
The only ones who are able to complain about an Apple are those who have never used it.
lie……. I have had it for 2 years…. I have hacked, overclocked, reshaped the operating system, changed the screen, I have missed everything except the shock test…. and although the iphone 4 that I have had removing the frightfulness of the device mounts a TOTALLY CAPPING operating system. that without jailbreak forces you to be one more sheep on the farm…. and on top of itunes…. worse than a pain in the ass… .. I adore the device… .. but what it has inside has MANY deficiencies… you also have to know how to recognize them!
It is no longer necessary to use itunes, it is clear that you are a basic iPhone user but you would know of alternatives to manage photos, apps, music, etc. in a very simple and simpler and more agile way than with android, like iTOOLS ..
What an insane obsession for iPhone on this page ????
When you compare phones it is always LOQUESA vs iPhone. Why don't you make the same comparison against the SG3 or the HOX? But not iphone, but against a nexus.
Another thing. More than a comparison between two devices, it is a string of nonsense words, well yes, one. The one that everything about apple is wrong.
In the end the only thing clear that I have after reading this article, that it will have taken you a while. That you have no idea what a nexus4 offers and even less an iphone.
A tip that may not give visits, but quality to the blog. Not everything has to be compared. And if it is done, at least with a minimum of knowing what is being written.
A greeting.
What a stupid thing. On what other page can they say so many "advantages" of any Google or Samsung product? I can also do a similar report, with the 500 things that the iphone does and its cheap imitators, they do not. It would be very original. They do not believe ??
How beautiful the iPhone like all the previous ones, Apple could get a line of clothes so that you are all the same.
«Google with its first phone, the Nexus 4, has done it»
Do you think the Nexus 4 is Google's first phone? Did they unfreeze you yesterday?
Anyway, the one who wrote the article shows that he has had an iphone eee .. what a shame .. ANDROID APPLICATION QUALITY DUTIES, HANGS UP AND WHO SAYS THAT THE APPLICATIONS DO NOT HANG UP AND DO NOT CLOSE ONLY LIES. 3 weeks with a galaxy s3 and he's ashamed of himself. I download 4 applications and they are all spam and advertising ... bad graphics ... the only thing I like about android is its music management. For the rest, it is embarrassing to compare the optimization that the iphone carries .. my iphone 4 bursts the s3 in terms of stability until today not a single hangs up ... if it is due to large screens and that I give the reason but in terms of experience Android user has a lot to improve ...
I had an iPhone and if it crashed, I really do not find it very different from my android, let's stop fanaticism. Android is very good, I would hardly go back to iPhone more than anything because of the android dw functionality, but I do miss icloud and something else that doesn't come to mind
Let's see what applications you download so that they come to you with Spam. Because until now, in 2 years that I have been on android, I have only downloaded one contaminated application. The graphics are lousy, put on glasses.
you will not need glasses when you pick up an iphone ... of course you've been using android for 2 years ... it's like the one who says you don't like ham without having tested it ... if one day you try it you'll see how those applications disappear that many times They have closed alone .. or that ram to the max ... or those non-compatible games hehehe or those updates so magnificent (except for the nexus) that is not to shoot rockets because the improvement is almost nil ... I am writing to you from a note 2 I mean that fanboy nothing at all .. I use this for these things because of the size of the screen but for everything else my iphone 5 destroys them easily and if yes with only 2 cores hahahaha.
use dropbox, tb is installed on pc and with just drag you have everything on the mobile
Hahahaha I remember a year and a half ago that because of informing me on the internet on any page they said that android was better than ios and that especially the galaxy s2 was the best smartphone in the world and things like that I got carried away by those comments and it was the worst The error of my life the phone crashed to the point of having to remove the battery the apps closed several are not compatible, or they look but not like the tegra apart from that I will not get tired of saying it is impossible to play the phone was getting hot horrible at 10 min of playing, fortunately now with my iPhone 4S I have no problem the updates to the day the compatible games the graphics at 100 fence the best services Siri is splendid hahaha fence it would be crazy to go back to android a system to delete a game You have to get to the SD and delete folder by folder hahaha and if there are many PUAs, that's true, I knew everyone knows them, greetings
You are crazy, how dare you compare an iPhone 4 with an S3, you don't know anything but nothing about SmartPhone… as an Apple user, you should be ashamed to speak and comment on such idioticness! Educate yourself and read first before writing .. !! =)
Why do you understand silly that I know you are a lost fool you are one of those who gets carried away by hardware… What good are 300 cores if your soft is a Windows 95? FOR NOTHING the applications in android are terrible and the crashes of the s3 tremendous and not to mention the pile of s3 that are dying for the great Samsung chip ... I regret too much to see me spent 549 euros on a smartphone that only serves to watch YouTube videos take photos and little else ... What is the use that I give it because of the use of apk and very bad user experience compared to that of the Iphone 4 .. And if with only 800 mhz it works more stable and better than a 4-core thanks to iOS ... If you want to convince yourself, compare them both and tell me who knows more about smartphones ... And that's not counting my iPhone 5 that destroys all avid android and for having ...
Be careful that with that difference in PPI, your eyes will still melt ... And the power will influence the stability ...
What to really read ...
The first thing, I suppose that you will not be more than 12 years old because otherwise you have it raw ...
The second, the optimized software is very important, that is true, but here we are also talking about the Nexus 4, and therefore, for the comparison with an iPhone you should take it as a reference, not another terminal with extra modifications.
The third, the USER also takes an important job since even the iPhone itself in the wrong hands fails ... That said, I mean that I have had an S3, and also a Nexus 4, and I can assure you that the applications are not many applications That they close on their own like that because yes. I have had and still have the odd one that fails and closes, that is largely an application problem. But what has been said, for those who like to CUSTOMIZE and have THEIR LIKE the mobile, Android will suit them like a glove, and with tact it does not have to fail. My N4 is quite stable, very few APPS have failed me, and the one that fails is because it is old and not adapted.
The fourth, for half or less the price of what an iPhone is worth, they give you an N4, or an N5 with a 2-year guarantee in which Google replaces the phone quite easily, even more, before picking up yours , they send you the replacement, so 0 minutes without mobile. In half, they give you a phone with a system adapted to which allows you to do twice as much at least in terms of customization.
And finally, do you need to miss out? It is the typical behavior of a fanboy ...
That each one buy what they want according to their convenience, everything has its advantages and disadvantages ...
If this were an Appel forum, only the benefits of the Iphon 5 and the shortcomings of Android would come out. I do not know why you "piss off" for showing the deficiencies compared to another smartphone. It is only a matter of taste.
As for OS, it is not that it is bad ios, only that in terms of hardware it is outdated since it came out (compared to the high-end android) it is true that no more is needed but for a smartphone that should be the most with the nexus 4 cannot compete.
Out of date with all the cheap, plastic, unstable copies of android? Ha ha. You have no idea what is the quality, sophistication and design as it exists in apple and ios. Keep criticizing the best.
By quality you mean the anodized aluminum that scratches when you look at it? I keep the plastic;) I do not change my mountain bike for your tricycle
Although the Aluminum is scratched, it is still much lighter and stronger than the plastic that melts, iOS is not out of date, but Android since they need to increase both the number of cores and ram for something fluid to work, I would leave you some comparisons What is there between a galaxy s3 with FOUR CORES AT 1.4 Ghz and an iPhone 5 DOUBLE CORE AT 1.2 Ghz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqK8vBcU7Sk
Hahaha calm, we already know that your plastic makes you happy like a toy to a child, iphone 5 is quality, a guy has the white and I can assure you that it does not have a scratch that scratches is another invention of android trolls to discredit But come on, you will never have an iPhone, how are you going to know? plastic gets hot like frying potatoes but that's how they are happy hahaha
All the reason, in addition to being ugly the S3 is made of plastic, I currently have an iPhone 5, and I have to say that the only Samsung that I liked are the original Galaxy and the S2, but when they made the S3 they screwed it up, but I I stay with my iPhone 5, which despite being double core at 1.2 Ghz is one of the ones with the best benchmark scores, especially in GPU, surpassed only by the iPad 4
So it is in gpu the samsung galaxy s3 is to cry but the geeks say that for a huge screen it is the best leaving behind the quality we are there in you tube there is a comparison. From modern combat 4 running on an iphone 5 and a galaxy s3 and we go to the definition. And the light effects as well as the physical textures and colors wins the iphone 5 as well as in the loading of the game hahaha I hope you can see it so that you realize how they cheat and the colors of the s3 are unreal colors that do not exist there are several articles on the internet about that too, we go from the nexus. Or I speak because the game I do not know if it is not optimized but it looks very ugly greetings
Sergio, they always make an excuse that the hd screen makes it slower, but they do not realize that it uses 2 cores more than the iphone 5, and more speed, and also the hd with the resolution of the iphone 5 are very close, like this that there are no excuses, the iPhone's are the fastest, without needing tremendous processors with so many cores, that's pure marketing from samsung and android
Luis, not all android apps have advertising, and if you want them to have nothing, spend the money and buy the paid version. And what you say about the S3 is totally a lie, I do not think that you have even come close to one. I no longer tell you to have it.
Hahahaha if they have the free ones they have and they are the ones that lower the most, so I have an iPhone to buy them all because then they are at a very cheap price of 1 dollar or there are times that they give them away and they do not have advertising and the graphics are 100, let's see dead trigger on your android s3 and veil on the iphone 5 and you tell me which one looks better let's go we need not want to see it so we don't realize it and tell me after 15 min how is your s3 boiling let's go the s2 does not have exclusives not even it yet updated that we expect with the s3 in the future
Let's see, boy, it seems that you are stupid. Another mid-range htc that I use now is the note 1 and the black iphone 3 and I tell you again that there is not even a point of comparison ... and who told you that I did not spend the money? I bought asphalt 3 for galaxy s2 and it is not even compatible ... if you are fans that in your life you have tried an iphone and that is why you ablais a lot of nonsense ... whenever you want I will show you the mobiles that I have hehehe
Good grief .. you dare those of iPhones .. as you can see that you do not know how to use it because if you did not say that it is useless I have the nexus 4 and it is the best there is today at a price of an iPhone button
,
The worst thing about the iPhone (I have an iPhone 4s) is that you cannot use it natively as a USB hard drive, that you cannot download a file from an email. The maps is terrible. The application integration thing is also quite real.
Other things for me are bullshit ... what does not have to take a panoramic view? The iphone has it native and is in the camera options, and I like it much more than the android.
The typical iOS vs Android war. In my opinion this article is pretty bad, it focuses on small details, so anyone can compare two things and win the one they want.
I prefer iOs, for stability, speed, quality of both hardware and software, I like the applications a lot and the limitations it offers for me are not a major inconvenience. I have to admit that there are things to improve, but like everything, right?
Even so, I think that Android has a very good operating system, I like the application store a lot, the desktop customization and the wide range of products to choose from. But I prefer stability to customization, so I stick with iOs.
I have generalized a lot, but if I start to list details why I prefer iOs I never finish, even so, as I have said, Android does not have much to envy iOs, it is also very good, only that it stands out in other things.
It seems unbelievable, a lot of android here, a lot of iphone there ... but as for spelling mistakes, no one can beat you. This I know is a shame !!!.
I say it especially for this Luis ("see him" tried (!!!!!) for having tried it) and for this Sergio (sergio, creature, a "fence" is a noun so next time write wow! To express an interjection.
All this I say without offense.
You're welcome
Caramba Luis, you are the king of spelling mistakes: »and« had, is I have had, «ablais» and «abeis» have ax. you are and not "you are" ... and I am not.
Champion!
without disqualifying or setting a chair of any kind. DSD that there are mobiles I have had all the brands, and although the king of these was Nokia now it is Apple (without a doubt), you will say, look at another posh iphonero, I assure you that no, in this life I have tried everything before speaking (except sex with men) and from the 3G and 4G I was hooked on the apple. However, this summer I said to myself, after my wife broke down her cell phone (it's not an iPhone) and if I try a Samsung Galaxy Note? … .. well I did that she kept my 4G and I caught the note. Well, starting my house almost caught fire and I had to change it the next day, well nothing happens, a manufacturing defect and that's it, otherwise nothing alarming, but frankly it's a total fiasco, I'm sorry but that's the way it is. Applications are closed by themselves as soon as the quaddualcoresupersonico dual-core processor is saturated…. The gyroscope is scratched continuously, the camera takes very good photos, but it frequently collapses, the battery does not finish my day by far, the pencil is luxury if your ear itches or if you are dirty you can remove wax, yes do not leave it still. In summary I have a mobile that looks like a 4 ″ plasma with which I have to use 40 hands and little else, my wife does not change it for my 2G with which I have already ordered my iPhone 4 that is just as expensive as This one, and this one I don't even buy for € 5 I'm sorry guys but let's not kid ourselves there's no color, I've tried I've compared and I've screwed up. Neither m liked Samsung nor the android system, even though it is not bad at all.
Do you want a galaxi note? …… .I leave it stranded.
Greetings!!
the galaxy is stuck! You have to remove the battery to restart hahaha I have seen it hundreds of times, the iphone is stable, the only thing I complain about is the iTunes, that I have to use it to put music and videos into it….
