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. Reddit user pic10F206 has created an image You must login or register to view this content. the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, Xperia Arc S, and the Galaxy Nexus smartphones. 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.

I think the 4S was the perfect size and I am disappointed that apple changed the dimensions of the new iPhone

HAHAHAHA....ok buddy! i own a iphone4. i do like the android phones from samsung. i even thought of switching over. maybe because i had an iphone for a while,(iphone 3g to the iphone4), im just used to their UI. Its simple, pretty, and user friendly. Android phones UI is pretty as well in its own way, but for me, it seems all over the place. I just find it funny with an ad like that, with what happened with the recent lawsuit. And people have to realize, theres sooo many android phones from different companies, yet they are all competing against 1 PHONE!!!! As much as i hate apple with their little upgrades here and there to cash in, whether its the iphone, ipad, ipod touch, nano ,ipod video, etc.., there is no doubt, APPLE is a market MONSTER. PERIOD!!!

Well iphone had the best phone in the market but that was a while ago, Iphone3 and maybe 4 ... after that Samsung overtook with Galaxy S2 and now the S3 which i think it's going to take a while for the other companies keeping up with Samsung.
I myself prefer Android software rather than Apple. It looks like Apple made the Iphone5 to compete with Galaxy S2 but they do need to take a few more steps to compete with S3.
Im not being an asshole or taking a rant, it's just my opinion

Well firstly, the added 1 gig of RAM will definitely be noticeable just like the new A6 Dual Core processor which makes the phone 2X faster than the previous generation. HAHAHA, don't even fuck around. I've owned the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SII & III, and the iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S and now 5. The iPhone is without a doubt 20X smoother, faster, and just all around a better phone than the Galaxy Nexus/SIII. LTE wasn't really available everywhere last year, when Apple told carriers that they would put LTE in their new phone, all the carriers started rolling out LTE in more places.

"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."

Do you understand that 1.2 Ghz and 1 Gig ram on the iPhone 5 is and always will be better because Apple's iOS is and always will be smoother then Android on any phone because it was made for that specific phone. Over clocking is dumb as shit, I've done it before and it's really not worth it. Samsung copied Apple countless times, and Apple already got their asses once with 1.2B in damages. 2 gigs of ram and yet my 4S runs smoother and faster...

"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." You've got to be the biggest dumb ass ever if you say that "you can't use cameras as a comparison."

Obviously, you've never actually compared pictures taken by the Nexus/SIII to iPhone 4S pics. It's a noticeable difference, even without HDR. I use my iPhone to take all my pictures and videos. It's way more convenient than carrying around my Nikon. Sometimes it even does a better job then my $1200 camera. "oh shit" moments? I'm done...

"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."

iOS 6 is a pretty significant upgrade. Maps, Siri coming to iPod touches/iPads, Passbook, FaceTime over 3G/LTE, FaceBook Integration, and a Panorama Camera. Need I say more?


You must have not tried the new JB firmware.

Android vs iOS is an old, opinionated argument. If you have iOS and think that it's faster, then good on you. What you don't realize you are restricted to a single layout that looks bland as shit. I honestly have no idea how people can call the layout on the iOS interface "nice" or "beautiful". There are no customization options and the look is more or less the same as the original iPhone.

Not gonna argue about the clock speeds, but if you've owned a Gnex and have used JB you wouldn't have made that argument. On other phones though, you're prolly right.

Even my old android was smooth as hell (Nexus S) and still is. If you're going to compare the speeds between the two OSs, then don't put widgets or any live wallpapers or any fancy launchers on your phone. The result will not be noticeable between the two.

iOS 6 is definitely NOT a significant update. Those features should have been integrated LONG ago. Apple can't make maps for shit. Siri for the iPad , especially the iPad 2 is long overdue. Facetime using data should've been included from the start. Facebook integration is not "game changing", I'm pretty sure users could share stuff on iOS before. Funny how you mentioned panorama in the same argument how android copied samsung.

It's just annoying to me how the "new" features could and should have been integrated into the last iOS. they save up all these minor changes, up the number from 5 to 6 and fanboys then think the new update is the greatest thing ever. It's not.

And even if apple supposedly spends a lot on their devices on "high quality materials", last I saw, iPhone screens still crack easier than eggs.

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?

Galaxy S3 sucks balls. If you're care about power and customisation, buy a PC, it blows ur stupid point about the the camera away.

Galaxy S3 is plastic piece of sh*t. Hardware doesn't matter unless it's the same OS, Android is a POWER and battery hog regardless of the widgets and live wallpapers on.

The iPhone 5 only has a 1Ghz Dual Core Processor with LTE, Comparing to Higher End Android phones the camera is the only thing that beats them. The Galaxy S3($199), HTC One X($99), Sony Xperia Ion($99) all have 1.5Ghz Dual core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon s4) with an 8MP camera and a 1Gb of Ram except for the Galaxy S3 which has 2GB of Ram and LTE. Those phones I listed are just ones for At&t which is my carrier that I know of are alot better than the iPhone 5 and there is alot more than that that can easily beat it not even counting in the screens on all of those.

I'm just trying to point out to people who all think that the iPhone 5 is the greatest thing (which I used to think to) that it isn't there is lots of other phones out there that is twice as good as it just people need to look around at them.
