I only used Google version but I would guess that:
Nokia:
- Nokia approach requires better lens with low aperture, because shallow DOF is done physically not using algorithm
- Refocus on Nokia seems to be super fast, because they just change the picture which is used
Google
- can use any lens, as bokeh is just calculated
- you can change parameters of bokeh (very shallow DOF or not so much)
- it requires a lot of computational power, so it take a lot of time to modify the photo
