The market of smartphones have gone super hot as the quad core processors are powering up more and more devices. Whether its Apple, Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC or any other manufacturer, everybody has been trying hard to make their phones more powerful.
In this post, we would try to get you the clear picture of these smartphones so that if you going to opt a smartphone (any of these), we want you to make a right decision.
Lets start with the comparison between Google Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z and Apple iPhone 5.
Processor
Sony Xperia Z runs on 1.5 GHz Krait Quad-core processor. Whereas, Apple iPhone 5 is powered by its line of A6 processor. This one is a Apple A6 quad core processor. And on the other hand, Google Nexus 4 runs on 1.5 GHz Quad Core Snapdragon S4 processor. Technically speaking, there isn’t much of a difference between the processors of all these smartphones.
Display
Xperia Z shows up with a 5 inch super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen with picture resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. While the Nexus 4 features a 4.7 inch IPS display. But the game is won by iPhone 5 by its 4 inch IPD LCD Retina display. No matter if you are an Apple fan or not, you would fall in love with the display screen of iPhone 5.
Memory and RAM
For me, storage hasn’t been the major game changer (but it does have a part to play in your decision). Nexus 4 has two models, one with 8GB of internal storage and the other with 16 GB. As we all know, Apple comes without a microSD slot and with in built storages of 16, 32 and 64 GB, it gives handful of options to the buyer.
And on the other hand, Xperia Z has a micro SD slot and expandable upto 32GB and in built memory of 16GB. And all these smartphones run on 2 GB RAM.
Camera
Xperia Z excels as it features 13.1 MP camera with a resolution of 4128×3096 pixels and LED flash. It also has a front camera of 2.2 MP. Both, iPhone 5 and Nexus 4 feature 8MP camera. On paper, Xperia Z is a clear winner. But its not just the Mega Pixels which makes a camera better, its the quality. So check it out at the stores.
Below table would make the picture a little bit clearer.
