Both phones in this review come with Android OS (Operating System), but Galaxy Z Flip 3 has the previous 11 version while Google Nexus 5 has Android 4.4.3 version. Even though the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is extremely heavier than Google Nexus 5, it's extremely thinner and much newer.
Google Nexus 5 has a little bit better looking screen than Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, because although it has a little worse resolution of 1920 x 1080px and a really smaller display, it also counts with a little bit more pixels per inch of screen. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 features just a little better performance than Google Nexus 5, because although it has doesn't have an extra graphics processor, it also counts with a larger number of cores (and they are faster) and a higher amount of RAM.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 has a way better battery duration than Google Nexus 5, because it has a 3300mAh battery size against 2300mAh. Google Nexus 5 takes a bit better photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, although it has a much tinier aperture which is not nice for capturing photographs and/or video in low-light situations and a much worse resolution back camera.
Although Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Google Nexus 5, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Google Nexus 5. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Galaxy Z Flip 3, else you can save some dollars and get the Google Nexus 5, letting go some specifications.
