Is the Nexus 5 screen much better then the Nexus 4? I remember going from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 4 and couldn't believe the quality difference!

Any idea how.well the Nexus 5 will lperform outdoors in sunlight?

Thanks

I don't know firsthand, but I do know that the G2 blew away my HTC One X+ in pretty much every way, shape, and form.

The nexus 4 sports a 4.7" 1280x738 display (320ppi... 6ppi shy of the pixel density of the iPhone 5S)
The nexus 5 sports a 4.95" 1920x1080 display (445ppi....... yea, eat that for "retina", Apple)

Pretty sure there'll be quite a nice visual quality bump.
