Kills Galaxy SIII by all means! totally.May 30, 2013This is specifically for all Galaxy SIII Fanboys who don't know the true power of nexus -
Whenever you are buying an Android phone with this price band, make sure you understand what is essential for getting the best performance out of the devcie and what make a device future proof.
1. Display pixel density
Galaxy SIII - 306 ppi
Nexus 4 - 318 ppi
Also, with Gorilla Glass 2 on it, LG has integrated display touch sensors to outer layers of glass, giving you a much better experience!
2. Software
Nexus 4 - Always updated with latest Google Android version
Galaxy SIII - will have to wait for a release from Samsung every time a new Android version comes!
3. CPU
Galaxy SIII - Exynos 4212 Cortex-A9 1.4 GHz Quad Core
Nexus 4 - Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon Krait 1.5 GHz Quad Core
Clearly Nexus 4 is faster, amd also the CPU is one generation above than what Samsung is giving in SIII
4. RAM
Galaxy SIII - 1GB
Nexus 4 - 2GB
This is the most important factor in Android phones. The Android OS with the custom UI (like in SIII) will eat up approx 600-700 MB of RAM with very less to spare for Games and apps. Result - The phone will be lagging most of the time, and you will have to constantly close running apps from task manager.
Also, if you upgrade to future versions of Android - 5.0 etc, 1GB of ram will make it more weak!
Although Nexus is missing some features - FM, SD card Slot
But it has some additional features - Wireless Charging
With the price band and the build quality - Nexus beats LG any day without any doubt!3Bharath
