Apple iPhone 5 Review - Detailed Version

The anodised aluminium back - as opposed to glass - makes the iPhone 5 more durable. But in terms of aesthetics, I'd still prefer the glass finish over the new two-toned design. In case you're wondering, this is the same material you see on the Nokia N8. The 3.5 mm audio jack is now at the bottom.
Pros:
  • Fluid UI
  • Clean design
  • Impressive camera
  • Great sound quality
  • Long battery life
  • Excellent for gaming
  • Rich App Store
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • A few apps run letterboxed
  • Lacklustre maps
  • Limited codec support
  • Lacks FM Radio
  • Can't share files over Bluetooth
  • No mass storage mode

Apple iPhone 5 Review

The Apple iPhone 5 is the best iPhone in the market, but that really isn't a surprise, is it? But then again, for a phone that costs Rs. 45,500, it better justify the expense. The iPhone 5 is an incremental update over the 4S, but the best phone incrementally improved is equal to a huge improvement.
Pros:
  • Blazing fast performance
  • Much improved display
  • Widescreen aspect ratio brilliant for multimedia
  • Lighter than the iPhone 4S
  • Excellent build quality
  • Camera is improved over the 4S
  • Doesn't heat up like the 4S
  • Surprisingly good battery life
Cons:
  • Costs a lot of money
  • Nano SIM is a pain to procure
  • The OS just looks plain dated
  • Apple has messed up the Maps
  • big time

To say that the iPhone 5 is the most anticipated smartphone of the year is an understatement. It is perhaps the smartphone people have waited for two years especially after Apple launched the iPhone 4S last October, which was physically identical to the iPhone 4.

iPhone 5 iSight Camera Review

Upgrading from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 delivers a clear increase in image quality. Not only this but it is quicker in use, for example, HDR pictures are rendered much quicker. We recommend you use the HDR mode all the time as it generally produced much better results.
Pros:
  • Large number of apps available
  • Fantastic panoramas
  • HDR mode delivers good results
  • Size and weight
  • Geotagging
  • LCD screen
  • White balance performance
  • Easy to share pictures
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • No image stabilisation
  • LED flash not great
  • Very few camera settings available
