Post: iPhone 5 Display Size Compared Against Huge Android Smartphones
09-15-2012, 09:41 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The announcement of the iPhone 5 is still the hot topic in the smartphone industry. One of its most notable features is the increase in the size of the screen, from 3.5 to 4-inches. It raises the question if the larger screen will make the device harder to use and operate in one hand.

Apple seemed settled on the 3.5-inch screen size, however the iPhone 5 announcement suggests a change in thinking.

The display area of the iPhone 5 is placed over the top of its larger competitors.

For portable, handheld devices, the current generation of Android devices are extremely large. Sure, the larger screen has its benefits, such as a better movie and gaming experience. However, the large screen makes operating the device in one hand a nightmare: constantly having to re-adjust your grip so your thumb can reach the entire screen.

With that being said, the iPhone 5's screen size has been increased and some technology enthusiasts came to the immediate conclusion that the device would be uncomfortable to use. It will still be smaller than its Android competitors and I am predicting a comfortable experience. Potential iPhone 5 buyers can rest assured, knowing Apple always is aiming for the best possible experience for fans. The decision to increase the screen size would have been thoroughly tested and evaluated, before being approved.

Unless you're a hardcore phone user, the new upgrades won't be noticeable. If you're a hardcore user, you're better off getting an Android. Camera is explained later on. The LTE is the only thing that's even noticeable, but even that factor is long overdue.

In all honesty the iPhone 5 isn't worth it. I believe it boots at 1.2 Ghz which is not amazing, especially comparing it to it's competitors (SIII, GNexus, just to name a few). The Android devices listed boot at 1.5 and 1.2 Ghz respectively, with the option of OCing if you've rooted your device (even if you jailbreak your iPhone there is no OC option). The additional ram is nothing spectacular as most of the new upcoming phones will come with AT LEAST 1Gb of ram. The GSIII, which is the iPhone's main competitor packs 2Gbs of ram if you have the US version I believe.

You honestly can't use cameras as a comparison, I mean, if you really care about that, buy an actual camera. You should only really use your phone camera for "oh shit" moments, and usually those don't need to be high def.

What bothers me most about the iPhone 5 is that there is no increase in battery. Same as the iPhone 4, which wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

Apple's getting less and less creative with their new products and their "revolutionary ideas" are fading away. iOS 6 seems like a pretty insignificant upgrade, I'm still on iOS 4 and it's suited me well so far.

iPod touch 5 looks dope though. But $300? Really?
