If 5mp are enough for you...

If not, you can use the 38MP +5 MP mode.

Kind of an absurd comparison, of course the Lumia's going to win.

Why not compare the Nexus to something its own size, like the S4, iPhone, or Xperia Z1?

Only in 5MP but in 38 MP it sucks. Also I think the colours are better on nexus 5 but I could be mistaken, I need to see a photo from a professional camera to really judge the photos.

Camera (phone) beast. A huge difference!

iPhone is still a very good phone, no doubt about it. Apple always had very good hardware. Their software now is not so-good though.

Same can be said about Lumia/WP. From my limited experience with Lumia 720/620, I wasn't too impressed by the software and apps. But hardware is pretty decent.

like the price and other specs ;)

37. dickwyn (Posts: 621; Member since: 07 May 2012)

for the price, the no other phone is a match to the Nexus 5

I think its the difference in sensor size is more important.
The Lumia 1020's 1/1.5'' sensor is over 4x the size Nexus 5's 1/3.2" sensor.

You blind??? PA use 5Mpx from 1020....

They have to on the 1020, because a 41MP will take forever to render and upload onto a PC. The camera resolution options on the 1020 are as follows anyway:
5MP,
5MP + 36MP

What about availability? If Google just manufactures 10,000 units and shut up, no point. In my country I ordered the Nexus 4 online and I had to cancel because the waiting period increased from 2weeks after 2 weeks it became 3 weeks and after another 3 weeks it became 3 months, and Now I can buy the Nexus 4 when Nexus 5 is out. Wake up, Google is not a hardware manufacturing company it simply does not know how to, it relies on LG, why should LG do something which hurts it's own product line. Now You Choose !!

The price for the N5 is $349 for 16gig and $399 for 32gig. You can buy a 32gig N5 and a 16gig N7 and still come out $20 cheaper than the 1020.
