It weighs 160g! Only has 1280x720 resolution. They want me to buy it at 649$? Are they insane? Google Nexus 5 is already huge, but it still weighs only 130g

Google Nexus 5 is already huge, but it still weighs only 130g, and at least it has 1920x1080 resolution and only costs 349$.
For 649$, I might as well buy iPhone 5s, which only weighs 112g. Yet it probably has the exact same battery life, due to the more efficient software!
Keep in mind, both Nexus 5 and iPhone 5s are almost a year old now, and this thing is a brand new platform with such unappealing specs? Gimme a break!
- m0dest 12y ago+1, weight has a huge impact on the user experience of a smartphone and doesn't get enough attention in specs. There is a significant comfort difference between light phones in the 100-150g range (latest iPhone, Nexus, Galaxy) and heavy phones in the 150-200g range (e.g. most Nokia Lumia phones, phablets). 720p for 4.7" doesn't bother me, as that's still full fidelity at 11". http://isthisretina.com/ http://isthisretina.com/
- cnst 12y agoI think there's a big difference between 720p and 1080p in how much shit fits on the screen. I love 1080p @ 4,95" on my Nexus 5; the 720p @ 4,65" on Galaxy Nexus is clearly not as good to have as much shit fit on the screen. It's not so much the fidelity as it is about the screen real estate. People tend to hold the phones much closer to their eyes than tablets, so, the extra pixels don't go wasted.
