Comparison review
The Google Nexus 5 has a score of 76, which is slightly better than the LG Q6's 71.8 overall score. Google Nexus 5 is an extremely older and a little bit thicker phone than the LG Q6, but Google managed to make it somewhat lighter anyway. The Google Nexus 5 features a bit faster processor than LG Q6, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM and a lower number of cores (although faster), it also counts with an additional GPU.
Google Nexus 5 counts with a better looking screen than LG Q6, because although it has a bit lower 1920 x 1080 resolution and a little smaller display, it also counts with a little higher pixels density. The LG Q6 captures just a bit better photographs and videos than Google Nexus 5, and although they both have the same video frame rate and the same (Full HD) video definition, the LG Q6 also has a larger camera aperture to capture better captures and video in low light situations and a back facing camera with a way higher resolution.
LG Q6 features much more storage capacity to install games and applications than Google Nexus 5, and although they both have the same 32 GB internal storage, the LG Q6 also has a SD card slot that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB. LG Q6 features superior battery duration than Google Nexus 5, because it has a 30% larger battery size.
Although Google Nexus 5 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the LG Q6, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG Q6. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy Google Nexus 5, but if you don't you can save some money and get the LG Q6, letting go some features and specs.
