Both phones come with aluminum cases that protect the devices in case you’re dropping them on the floor.

These phones are equipped with large displays. For example, the HTC One has a 4.7 inch Super LCD3 capacitive touch screen, having a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels, while the Nexus 5 comes with a larger display, a 4.95 inch True HD IPS+ capacitive touch screen, and a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels.
In terms of dimensions, the HTC One has 137.4×68.2×9.3 mm and it weighs 143 grams, while the Nexus 5 is lighter, only 130, and has these dimensions: 137.9×69.2×8.6 mm.

The HTC One has two variants of internal memories: 32 GB and 64 GB, without the possibility of expanding them. The device has a 1.7 GHz quad core krait 300 processor + Qualcomm APQ8064T Snapdragon 600 chipset.
The Nexus 5’s processor is more powerful, which is a 2.3 GHz quad core krait 400 processor, but the phone has also a Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset. Like the HTC One, the Nexus 5 has two variants of internal memories which can’t be expanded, which are 16 GB and 32 GB.
