nexus 5 vs nexus 6 vs nexus 7

The Nexus 6 is finally here. It's also bigger, more powerful and more expensive than the Nexus 5. The size and price could make it a tough sell for the Android masses, but it's certainly eye catching

Nexus 5 vs Nexus 6: Display

The 4.95-inch, 1080 x 1920 display on the Google Nexus 5 is a good size and at 445 pixels per inch it's sharp too. But the Nexus 6 has it beat thanks to a 5.9-inch 1440 x 2560 display with a pixel density of 493 pixels per inch

Nexus 5 vs Nexus 6: CPU, RAM and storage

With a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU the Nexus 5 is pleasingly powerful, but the Nexus 6 once again has it beat, with a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM and an Adreno 420 GPU.
Whether all that extra power will translate into real world performance remains to be seen, but we'd expect the Nexus 6 will be noticeably faster than its older sibling and the Nexus 5 is no slouch.

Nexus 5 vs Nexus 6: Camera

On paper the Nexus 6 should have a substantially better camera than the Nexus 5 too, as it's rocking a 13MP snapper while the Nexus 5 has an 8MP one. But megapixels aren't everything and we weren't terribly impressed with the Nexus 5's camera, especially in low light

Nexus 5 vs Nexus 6: Price

It's clear from this that the Nexus 6 is set to be a substantial improvement over the Nexus 5, even if the size is likely to be off-putting to many, but price is a big factor as well and that could be its downfall.
The Nexus brand is seen as an affordable way to get good quality hardware and that's no clearer than in the Nexus 5, which starts at £299 / $349 / AU$399, but the Nexus 6 is set to start at $649, which is likely to equate to around £500 / AU$700
