Comparison review
Google Nexus 6 has a general score of 81.1, which is a little bit better than iPhone 5s's 75.5 score. Google Nexus 6 is a newer device than iPhone 5s, but it is notably thicker and way heavier. The Google Nexus 6 comes with Android 5.1 OS, while iPhone 5s has iOS 8.x OS. The Google Nexus 6 features a bit superior processor than iPhone 5s, because although it has a 32 bits processor against 64-bits and a weaker graphics co-processor running at 500 megahertz, it also counts with more RAM and a higher number of cores (and they are faster).
Google Nexus 6 counts with a little more vivid display than iPhone 5s, because it has a lot better pixels quantity per inch of display, a much better 2560 x 1440 resolution and a lot larger screen. The Google Nexus 6 takes a little bit better photos and videos than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has a back-facing camera with a lot better resolution, a lot higher video quality and a larger aperture to capture better low light captures and videos.
The Google Nexus 6's storage to store more games and applications is just as good as the iPhone 5s one, both of them have equal internal storage. The Google Nexus 6 features a much longer battery lifetime than iPhone 5s, because it has a 105 percent bigger battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Apple iPhone 5s, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Apple iPhone 5s. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy Google Nexus 6, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Apple iPhone 5s, giving up a couple specifications.
