APPLE IPHONE 6 VS NEXUS 4

I am sure that by now most of you have seen this image comparing the New Iphone to the Nexus phone with the title “Dear iPhone 6 Users: Welcome to 2012″ and its always good fun to make light of any Apple products. Its hardly surprising that people decided to do the same to the new Apple Iphone 6.

Now I want to clearly state that I am by no means an Apple Fan, neither am I an Android fan for that matter. My personal opinion is that Apple products are a bit more expensive than they should be. But lets underline one fact here, you buy a $50000 Mercedes AMG car, you can get the same features in a $30000 Acura, then why would you go ahead and buy the Mercedes ? I hope the first answer you got in your mind, solves that insanely simple puzzle for you.

Having said that, lets now look at the hard facts here.

Processor

The iPhone 6 uses an A8 chipset with the second-generation 64-bit architecture. Even though it only has a dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone CPU theoratically, practically it is much faster than most smartphone chipsets out there, even the ones with quad-core processing.

For instance, have a look at the previous generation A7 chip on the iPhone 5S, which also had only a 1.3Ghz dual-core CPU. The smartphone because of this CPU almost beat the living daylights out of every other phone in its generation when it came to benchmark performances, despite having only a dual-core processor. I will be highly surprised with the new Iphones cant do the same.

Also, for the record, here’s how the Google Nexus 4 compares to the iPhone 5S when it comes to performance. Given that it can easily be beaten by the iPhone 5S, there’s no chance that it can stand a chance with the new A8 chip on the iPhone 6 since it is much faster than its predecessor.

Camera

Its quite common for people to make the mistake of judging a phone’s imaging capabilities by the amount of megapixels that its sensor is capable of. But ask any professional photographer and you will get the answer.

In this case, both smartphones have an 8MP camera. However, what most people don’t know is that the iPhone 6 is far more superior to the Nexus 4, since its Focus Pixel technology provides the sensor with more information about the image, giving a better and faster autofocus than one can see in a preview.

It is surely a much more advanced and faster camera. And let us not even get started about its technology and skills with video. The smartphone can grab 1080p high-definition clips at 60 frames-per-second, take 240fps slow-motion shots, and provide cinematic video stabilisation.

Faster Wireless

The Apple iPhone 6 has faster LTE connectivity and supports higher download speeds. LTE is short for Long-Term Evolution, commonly known as fourth-generation or 4G technology. Apple claims it supports more LTE bands than any other smartphone. Even for WiFi, it will work three times faster than the predecessor and most other smartphones.

Design

Apple takes the lead in this department with a gorgeous design that blends anodised aluminium, stainless steel, and glass. Hold it in your hand and you’ll agree that it feels absolutely premium. This is true for almost all of the Apple products.

Display

All said and done, the Nexus 4 had a solid display. And for 2012, it was an amazing offering that was far ahead of many of its competitors. The Nexus can definitely win this one.

NFC And More

And yes, Apple was rather late (as always) to bring NFC onto its smartphones, something that LG and Google did much earlier with the Nexus 4. However, it is worth noting that having NFC in 2012 was a waste, since it is not a feature that was supported by too many vendors in 2012, honestly even today its not supported that much.
