Apple iPhone 5
APPLE IPHONE 5 REVIEW
The
iPhone 5 is more than just Apple's latest high-end smartphone. In a world of
huge slabs of phone the iPhone's thin profile makes it different to the Galaxy
S4, Sony Xperia Z, HTC One, BlackBerry Z10, Nokia Lumia 925 and the rest of
the high-end phone lineup. In our iPhone 5 review we test the iPhone 5
performance, look at iPhone 5 build and design, and check out the iPhone 5
cameras. We also check out new iPhone 5 features and the iPhone 5's software.
Confirmed by our lab tests, everything about the iPhone 5's performance has
been augmented from its predecessor the iPhone 4S, in this contrarily smaller
mobile phone handset.It's not just a bit faster, it's 100 percent or more
quicker in processor speed. The Apple iPhone 5 is the first iPhone with a
larger, 4-inch screen. At the same time, it has become thinner, with a more
elongated body. The iPhone 5 is powered by a new A6 chip that’s twice as
powerful as the chip on the preceding iPhone 4S. It’s also the first iPhone
with 4G LTE, supporting not just American frequencies, but LTE networks across
the globe. Similarly in the graphics room, gamesters or anyone that needs
grease-lightning visuals will be beaming from ear to ear at the step-change in
sheer speed. A good improvement over the iPhone 5 but not the 5S Pros: Nice looking design, looks to have
decent battery life.
