Early full review of the iPhone 5 according to the experts

The first wave of reviews on iPhone 5 have been present. Various leading foreign media had the opportunity to try the latest mobile phone from Apple.

How did they respond? Apparently most voiced praise for the iPhone 5. Although there are some notes about the phone tilted this one.

The most popular mobile phone in the world to be faster, thinner and lighter significantly, with a 4 inch screen, all without sacrificing battery life, comfortable in the hand and high-quality construction.

In increasing the size of the iPhone screen, Apple took a different approach than competitors. The width remains the same, but the height increases. For those who want a super large screen phones, like the Galaxy S III a 4.8 inch screen, the screen of the iPhone 5 may not be sufficient. The large screen of the competitors are usually taller and wider.

Nevertheless, I feel a new iPhone screen more easily grasped than larger rivals. In my view, Apple's approach makes this phone much more convenient to use, especially with one hand. More easily carry in your pocket and more comfortable calling.

Although the new model is not a radical redesign, it offers a much greater change than for the iPhone 4S last year. When you hold it, the iPhone 5 20% lighter. Much lighter so you might expect it is not the real thing.

Unlike some competitors, the iPhone 5 is not made ​​of plastic. Despite Apple's claim as the world's thinnest smartphone, the iPhone 5 still maintaining the trademark of Apple, feels solid, metal construction, this time with the back of the aluminum. Like some other Apple product, this thing is beautiful.

With a size of 0.3 inches, the phone is slimmer than before, which is said to be the world's thinnest Apple. This phone is also more lightweight, under four ounces, he disappeared entirely in your pocket. This phone is really lightweight, high and flat.

Should you buy a new iPhone, as Windows Phone and Android phones offer an impressive speed, beauty and features the same? Windows Phone is brilliant in terms of design, but bad in terms of applications and accessories.

Android phones have a lot of options, for example you can get a giant screen, memory card slot or NFC chip. But Android, overall, more chaotic and fragmented, you can always upgrade the phone software when a new version.

iPhone does not offer the same customization options and more. But this phone is more polished and consistent design, with a catalog of applications better and regulated strictly. He offers Siri voice commands and the best application store.

However, changes in the connector is bad. Are the changes Apple has not worrying about losing their loyalty? Actually, Apple has a long history of killing technology, public ever loved, despite being developed and promoted by them. Still, life goes on, and Apple even even be bigger.

iPhone 5 is a champion that should keep Apple stay ahead. But choosing the iPhone 5 against top Android alternatives is a difficult decision, especially if you are happy with the jumbo screen, as in the Galaxy S III, which I praised Android rival high.

Switch to 4-inch screen feels right for the iPhone, although it looks like a dwarf when juxtaposed with the 4.8 inch screen of Samsung Galaxy S III, which is probably the best Android. I was able to show four more paragraphs in Samsung, compared to the iPhone 5. On the other hand, the screen of the iPhone 5 look sharper and brighter, and easier to carry.

Samsung's ad campaign attacking with 'The Next Big Thing is Already Here'. Samsung Mobile is taller, wider, and 0.7 ounces heavier than the iPhone 5, although only a little thicker.

People have always had high expectations for the iPhone 5, in particular when the competition gets tough. In the handset delivers a fast, attractive, has LTE and a larger screen, Apple meet expectations with a gem (iPhone 5).

The bottom line is, if it is not yet clear, the iPhone 5 is a great smartphone. Ignore the voices skewed, though admittedly without great technological breakthrough, this is a considerable improvement from the iPhone 4S. For those who want to upgrade, LTE presence alone will be worth.

What if he was against the Galaxy S III, current champion among Android phone? This is not an overly complex question. Galaxy is doing more, doing less iPhone 5, but rather, do it better.

And when the iPhone does not offer anything good, often there are apps in the App Store that will do it.

iPhone 5 is a smartphone that excellence, even if the upgrade on this phone more to repair than to introduce a new feature of the exotic. If you are able to get the mobile phone that features exploded, then another cell phone (Galaxy S III comes to mind) offer.

Needless to say, we really wanted something that we thought before. iPhone 5 does not have a new thing, but note that even though technology enthusiasts want a promising new features, most buyers seem to prefer this type of cell phone are revised.

iPhone 5 is not a great leap forward, but with a much improved design, iOS 6, fast processor, and a larger screen, this is the best iPhone.
