iPhone 5S is the Apple's best ever made smartphone, whereas the
Google's Nexus 5 is also a good choice. Well, we are here to compare
the devices, though we know the answer, yet lets check the technical
views of both the handsets.
- iPhone 5S vs Nexus 5: Software reviews
We
all know both the phones have totally different OS, all we can say is
that Android 4.4 KitKat vs iOS 7 is a conundrum. Both are the latest
and updated versions, where Android 4.4 KitKat offers you a great
well managed features such as a full mode and a lot improvement in
across calling, messaging, audio playback, search and many more and
talking about iOS 7, it has handy control center, a better multi-tasking and an overhaul, with its design and feel.

Nexus 5 has a bigger screen than that of iPhone 5S display. Nexus 5
has 4.95 inch in comparison to 4 inch iPhone 5S, and all that results
in the handy web browsing, watching videos and gaming and that too
with Android 4.4 KitKat's new full-screen mode.
If
we move to the resolution then the iPhone 5S sticks to the earlier
640x1136 Retina quality display where as Nexus 5 is much higher with
Full HD 1080x1920, that means Google's Nexus 5 has a density pixel of
445ppi agaist the iphone's 326ppi. However, iPhone narrow display
works quiet well in the landscape mode as a widescreen.

only thing would create difficulty is the price so, if its all about
money then Nexus 5 would be the best deal else we'd always choose the
iPhone 5S.
