hey guys it starts to lock away here we're checking out the brand spankin new iphone 5 vs the Galaxy Nexus what's great about this particular comparison is that we have the latest version of operating system from android android 4.1 jelly bean with its lightning fast operation google now and a whole lot more baked in and we also have iphone 5 with the latest version of iOS iOS 6 which obviously is supposed to be their latest and greatest operating system what's interesting to see obviously is a lot of the features that were present in android for some time now obviously have been baked in in some fashion in terms of facebook integration other social sharing and other little subtle improvements but we still have no real true customization on iphone but for some people that's okay either way platforms aside let's just take a look at the specs so first let's start with the size so for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus we have a five point three three inch tall we have two point six seven inches wide and we have a width of 0.35 inches for the iphone 5 we have four point eight seven inches of height we have a two point three one inch of width and we have a thinness of 0.3 inches so 0.3 inches thick or thin for the iphone 5 and 0.35 inches thick excuse me or the Galaxy Nexus obviously the iPhone 5 is 0 point 0 5 inches thinner negligible some but you know comparably speaking the iphone 5 feels quite a bit thinner in the hand in terms of the weight the Galaxy Nexus is weighing in at 135 grams making it a little bit heavier than the 112 grams of the iphone 5 now in terms of the processor we have a TI OMAP 4460 dual-core 1.2 gigahertz in the Galaxy Nexus thankfully do the inherent architectural upgrades and just general cleanup of the operating system with jelly bean Android 4.1 things are 60 frames the second butter smooth project butter has done wonders for the Galaxy Nexus and if you've ever used a nexus tab excuse me Nexus 7 or galaxy nexus 2 j.b you know how fast and smooth it is for the iphone 5 they have a 86 processor which they design themselves is a dual core as well just like the Galaxy Nexus but it's only clock to 1000 mega hertz so 1200 megahertz dual-core with older generation technology arm a9 versus a6 processor designed by Apple do a course well but only 1000 mega Hertz performance wise both are comparable though it should be noted that this is substantially more powerful likely to be in the range of two dimes is powerful thanks to the fact that they pretty much built the SOC themselves with help from arm borrowing some designs from arm moving on to the RAM both devices feature one gig of ram so they're on par there now obviously the most important thing about smartphones pretty much is the display because it's what you look at interact with and is how you see and toy with the device or work with it depending tie work just joking anyway we have a 4.6 5 inch display on the Galaxy Nexus with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels giving a ppi of 316 on the iphone 5 we have four inches diagonally with 1136 pixels which is very irregular around you but it's 1136 high and it's 640 wide giving a ppi 326 so 326 ppi pixels per inch on the iphone 5 and ppl i have 316 on the Galaxy Nexus making them very very close I'm considering that you have a four point six five verses for it's a fair trade-off and quite frankly I would I would really like to challenge anyone to you know be able to tell the difference in terms of seeing pixels because when you get over 300 pixels per inch on a mobile device it's impossible to see so Samsung Galaxy Nexus features 16 gigabyte and 32 gigabyte iterations for its internal storage whereas the iPhone 5 has 16 32 and 64 gigabyte if money is no object obviously you get the 64 gigabyte from iphone and you can just fill it to the brim through itunes now with this one of course with the micro USB you're able to just throw content on there no problem obviously both a feature a lot of cloud connectivity in terms of bringing content on but not everyone has an Limited 4g plan in fact I would I reckon to say that very very few people have unlimited brought mobile broadband so sometimes it's nice to be able to have a lot of mobile capacity on the go though both don't have micro SD capability so they are on equal playing ground there as well the battery on the Galaxy Nexus is going to be 1750 milliamp hours making it a smaller battery compared to some like the galaxy s3 with 2111 battery but still large enough now if you are packing an LTE version of this device it's not going to be enough to get you through the day if you are a mobile hound like most of us android lovers are so it's still though at seventeen fifty million of our for its HSPA variant and 18 50ml half hours for the LT very respectably still larger than the 1400 milliamp hours present in the iphone 5 though we have to we have to subject more intensive testing to see how it holds up but I would say that they would be comparable due to the fact that this has a four point six five inch and this has a 4-inch and this battery is roughly twenty-five percent larger so anyway in terms of the rear camera this is an older generation device and Google and Samsung received a lot of flack but it is a five megapixel camera whereas on the iPhone 5 we have an eight megapixel camera now both do feature 1080p video recording so that's not a problem they both have out of focus and they both have LED flash either way I would have to hand it to the iphone I do believe that the camera will likely produce better quality pictures than Samsung Galaxy Nexus though if you live in the states you can get the google galaxy nexus for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for as low as 3 49 making it a very very good price particularly considering that it already has android 4.1 jelly bean out-of-the-box so moving on to the front facing camera for the Galaxy Nexus we have a 1.3 megapixel 720p video and so for the iPhone we have a 1 point 2 megapixel also capable of 720p video now this one features NFC for Google Wallet functionality and for other things such as the ability to share contact with other galaxy nexus and NFC capable devices whereby you can just tap in together and contacts are transmitted and if c stands for north excuse me near field communication it's similar to bluetooth a lot more power efficient but also shorter range other than that we have LTE hsdpa HSPA capabilities for the Galaxy Nexus depending on the iteration obviously features why to a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 now this is an LTE capable device also an HSPA capable device as well it does have Wi-Fi and it does have bluetooth 4.0 whereas this one only has bluetooth 3.0 a small thing for some but could be potentially a big thing bluetooth 4.1 an architectural improvement over Bluetooth 3 so if you tend to stream music in the car a lot you will have a higher bandwidth and more power savings with the iphone 5 and also better all audio transmission quality due to the fact that there is better data transmission with bluetooth for so let's just take a look here ok Google now which is the latest and greatest yes sirree here okay who is the smartest person because you who is the smartest person that ever lived who is the smartest person that ever lived well so we can see that Google now has brought it up significantly faster oh well we should do that simply a little bit more intuitive will have an independent versus of google now vs. Siri they claim to have improved serious substantially another thing to remark on a see how brilliant and white the whites are on the iPhone 5 that's inherent due to the fact that this is an IPS LCD which is capable of producing much whiter whites whereas this is an AMOLED HD AMOLED HD will produce richer colors but white is not as strong suit in fact it consumes the most power so if you're a person that does web browsing a lot maybe perhaps you will like an LCD based device via the iphone or the HTC device or an optimus 4x HD what else so bring it down obviously we have a micro USB the ability to throw any kind of content you want on there and through google play you can pretty much make this your computer you can look at PDF so you can flash gaming there's a ton of different stuff you can do with android obviously it's highly customizable but the fact that you can just throw files on through micro USB is very convenient obviously we know iTunes itunes itunes other than that we have MHL connectivity an image cell sense for um um excuse me mmm mobile high-definition link I might mix that up I'm sorry but either way it doesn't matter the point is is that this is capable of connecting to an HDTV with the small dongle making it down potentially capable bring over to a friend's house and you can just watch movies just have them stream on an HDTV you can do that too but it also requires a very expensive dongle from Apple other than that Galaxy Nexus hasn't been one of the best-selling devices but you know it didn't really have a strong marketing campaign but it is a pure Google Experience device and that's why we have android 4.1 everyone's seen the advantages of having sort of a vertically controlled situation Apple can push updates out to the devices quickly so you're always going to have the latest and greatest version of their operating system and with Galaxy Nexus devices or Nexus devices in general you will have the latest and greatest version of Android on there too moving on to that we know the iPhone 5 has considerable the man behind it and they sold over 2 million devices and less than 24 hours after launch making of one of the best-selling devices in history if not the best selling now let's just go and check out something cool I've cleared the cache on both devices load of android authority calm to see what loads faster so this is basically a there we go and your authority the little rootie we go okay thank you okay all right here we go guys 32 oops except the whole down one down then I can assure you this is not easy okay here we go three two one go all right we're off to the races who's gonna win developed it duh okay so it appears Galaxy Nexus is in the lead I know it's not know the iPhone 5 is winning and that doesn't actually seem problematic at all I mean the processor that's contained within the iPhone 5 is about 200 to 250 percent more powerful than the TI OMAP dual-core this is an architectural leap ahead for the a6 processor brilliantly smooth project butter akin to the iphone as we've seen with other verses is that you've probably looked at the iphone 5 takes the cake when it comes to fluidity of browser operation of pinch to zoom it is a set the industry standard but with android 4.1 jelly bean and all the devices that are coming forward we're seeing that the browsing is very comfortable and very smooth on both in fact the video camera that we're recording the song is recording in 30 frames a second and it is not enough to justify how smooth both of these devices are really really remarkable in fact it would be very very difficult to tell the difference other than that you know where we're just looking at two of the hottest devices on the market there will be a new Galaxy Nexus rumors are already indicating the galaxy nexus 2 is in the works to feature latest generation processing technologies a high resolution display better camera and the latest version of Android on board and that's when the real showdown will begin for now we have the iphone 5 4 inch profile nice and thin beautiful poly beautiful metallic body the Galaxy Nexus obviously a larger device but one of the best on the market still and loved by many so this is our first look and verses of the Galaxy Nexus vs iphone 5 thanks for checking it out guys we hope you liked the vid leave this comment below and let us know which one you like better hope you guys have a great day thanks for
