The Nexus 4 came with a 2100mAh battery, which provided up to 10 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of standby time, compared to the Nexus 5 which has a 2300mAh battery promising 17 hours' talk time and 300 hours standby time. In addition, the Nexus 5 will also last longer than the Nexus 4, but only just. The RAM stays the same at 2GB, but the internal storage capabilities have improved from the 8GB and 16GB models found on the Nexus 4.

You'll see a big improvement in speed with the Nexus 5 as it upgrades from the Nexus 4's 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chip. It also comes with 2GB of RAM, and in 16GB or 32GB storage options with no microSD expansion just like all the other Nexus devices. The Nexus 5 comes with Qualcomm's latest chipset under its hood, the quad-core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 found in the latest devices including the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, LG G2 and Sony Xperia Z1. The Nexus 5 is faster and last a bit longer The Nexus 5 camera is now equipped with Photo Sphere for knitted 360-degree shots, HDR+ which takes burst shots and automatically chooses the best, and Auto Awesome which appears to improve photos in your library to share - much like Google+ does. However, the Nexus 5 comes with optical image stabilisation, which we suspect is the same stabilisation system used in the LG G2. The sensor is the same as the Nexus 4 wit h the rear and front cameras offering 8-megapixels and 1.3-megapixels, respectively.

In the past the camera has often been a relative weakness of the Nexus devices, with Google using the Nexus device to push Android features rather than claims of a high quality camera, but the camera has been improved for the Nexus 5. The camera has also become more predominant on the Nexus 5, changing from the subdued square on the Nexus 4 to the larger circle surround on the Nexus 5. LG has also moved away from the glitzy glass shell of the Nexus 4 and moved to a more classic, matte black finish on the Nexus 5.

In terms of aesthetics, the Nexus logo has shifted from the horizontal top positioning on the Nexus 4 to a vertical middle position on the Nexus 5, plus it has increased in size too so everyone will know you have a Nexus device. The Nexus 4 measures 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm and weighs 139g, compared to the Nexus 5 which comes in at 137.84 x 69.17 x 8.59 mm and hits the scales at 130g. The Nexus 5 has larger dimensionsĪs you would expect, the Nexus 5 has increased in size slightly to accommodate the larger display, although it's not by much. The increased resolution means the screen will be sharper on the Nexus 5, and the images more detailed, compared to the Nexus 4. Although we liked the Nexus 4 display, producing vibrant colours was its biggest weakness. The Nexus 4 also had an IPS LCD display, but was slightly smaller at 4.7-inches and with a lower resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels, 320ppi. The Nexus 5 screen comes in at 5-inches with an IPS LCD display and a resolution of 1920 x 1080, giving it a pixel density of 445ppi. The display is bigger and better on the Nexus 5 LG launched its flagship LG G2 smartphone earlier this year and many rumours suggested the Nexus 5 would take a number of the LG G2 specs with it, which seems to be the case. In the past, Nexus devices have been made by several manufacturers including HTC, Samsung, LG and Asus, but the Nexus 5 sticks with the Nexus 4's maker, LG.
