it has simply gone more powerful than ever. The all new iPhone 5 is the
6th generation iPhone which is powered by 1.2 Ghz quad core Apple A6
processor. iPhone 5's quad processor is what makes this device seriously
fast. It runs an iOS 6.x.x (with updates coming regularly). One great
feature of this device a new feature Shared Photo Streams. You can share a series of photos with friends and family to share and comment along
with 1.3 MP front facing camera. We has never seen any thing like this
before .Also, iPhone 5 has a 8mp camera capable of 1080p HD video
recording just like that on iPhone 4s. Also, panorama is finally
official.Even the camera is very fast .It takes the fraction of seconds
to take a snap shot.With is its single LED flash , users don't have to
worry about clicking photos in dark places. There are 3 microphones in
iPhone 5. One of front, one on back and one on bottom. Finally, the days
for 32 pin dock connector is gone and now we have a new connector which
is 80% smaller. iPhone 5 has worldwide 4G and LTE connectivity feature

So, here is the specification of the iPhone 5.

Design
The iPhone 5's design is very beautiful
& attractive .Having a glass in its back makes it even more
attractive .The phone is thin(7.6mm) just like its rivals .In the
front , we have a 4 inch retina display having a resolution of
1136x640.On the top front, there is a 1.3 MP camera capable of 720p hd
video recording . On the bottom of the screen, we have a physical back
bottom. The left side of the device has a button which is use to toggle
device to silent mode from general mode and vice versa. On the right,
there is a physical volume rocker key.There is no dedicated camera
shutter button. On the top, we have lock/power off button & we have
dual speaker placed below along with the unknown pin USB connector which
is 80% smaller than 32 pin connector which can be used for charging
& data transfer.
On the back of phone, we have a
8mp camera with the LED flash. There is also Apple logo on the back of
the device. That's all about the design of this beast. It may not be the
best of the best but it surely is good enough to catch one's eyes.
Display
As mention earlier , iPhone 5 has 4 inch display with pixel density of 330ppi. It has resolution of 1136*640.
Text is very good viewing the angles aren't bad
either. Color saturation is 44% better than that of iPhone 4s. The
iPhone 5 may be of 4 inch while most of the other smart phone has screen
size larger than 4 inch. The iPhone 5 have capacitive touch screen with
multi-touch.The amazing thing is that the phone can read all your five finger at a time. It may not really be usable but it sure is fun. Touches are very responsive and are almost always accurate. But if you have a big hand, you may have difficulty in typing in portrait
mode. Apart from that, we had no problem with the display. We hopefully
will get bigger screen in next generation of iPhone.
Operating System ( iOS )
iOS is the operating system only used by
Apple products. So, it sure is different from the other operating
system but iOS gives you certain limitations. Your iPhone 5 runon iOS
6.0.01 (which is the latest until now). It is the successor of the iOS
5.x.x. There are no major changes apart from that it has notification
window and "Siri" and some other software updates. Applications are
customized to exactly fit in the screen.( I will be talking about it
after a while in this post). You will notice that it still is the same.
Scrolling through the menu hasn't changed since years. There are no
homescreens yet which also mean that you don't have accessibility to the
Widgets. iPhone 5 will have it's own Maps navigation and leave back
Google Maps. Apart from the applications, you won't find anything
interesting in the iOS 6.
The
iOS 6.x.x may not have homescreens and may not be as customizable as
Android devices but the OS sure is fast and very responsive. We rarely
get freezes or phone restarts. It is also not a power hungry operating
system. The dual core processor for this phone is just more than
enough. Application run smoothly on this device.
Camera
PHOTO
The
iPhone 5's camera is one of the best 8MP camera seen in a smartphone.
The back facing 8MP is said to take truly amazing photos.It has a
f/2.4 aperture with 5 element lens. iPhone 5's camera is 40 % faster
than that of iPhone 4s. Also, beside the camera, there is a LED flash
light for capuring photos in dark areas. It is packed will all camera
goodies like Touch focus, geo-tagging,Face detection, HDR ,etc.
Although, you don't get a dedicated camera shutter button, the on-screen
shutter button isn't that bad either. The camera also autofocus when
required. The Camera takes snapshots very quickly. You won't miss the
moments that you want to capture. The camera talkes 1.1 second to take a
photo initially and 0.5 seconds.The camera interface is pretty much the
same as before with a few options added on the viewfinder - a
viewfinder grid, an HDR setting, pinching gesture for digital zoom and
swipe gesture for quick gallery access.
VIDEO (CAMCORDER)
The
back facing camera shoots 1080p HD Videos. HD Videos looks stunning
both on the phone and your HD TV. The videos are very impressive. 10
second HD(almost 31MB)showed us that the details are very good and the
sound quality is good (not best) as well. The iPhone 5 records 1080p
videos and the clips are stored in .MOV format with a 23Mbps bitrate.
Videos are shot at a smooth 30fps most of the time but he framerate
drops to 26fps when the lighting isn't good. Still, the videos turned
out to be good. The drawback is that you can't change the recording
resolution from 1080p to 720p with the default application. If you
record a 1080p HD video for 10 minutes, it takes upto 1.8GB! Apart from
that I claim that the iPhone 5 camcorder is the best out there in
Smarphone industry.
FRONT FACING CAMERA
The iPhone 5's front facing camera is a
1.3 camera which can record 720p videos at 30 frames per second. The
front facing camera is where iPhone 5 won't disapoint you. Although
Samsung Galaxy S3 has 1.9MP front facing camera, this one is good too. The good thing is that,you can video chat via 3G/4G Lte network. The video chatting is enabled over Wi-Fi as well without any surprise.
Processor
The
iPhone 5 uses the a quad core processor 1.0GHz Apple's A6 processor
which pumps power to this beast. Unlike the earlier versions of the
iPhone, the iPhone 5's processor is very efficient and consumes very
little battery except while playing games or using heavy applications.
The quad core processor is what makes this device very fast. You won't
face any lags.The boot times have improved as well. Applications load up
much faster. None of the games are choppy. All the Gameloft's HD games
could be played without any glitches. Even the camera is a lot faster
just because if this powerful processor.As iOS doesn't need much processing power, the quad-core processor is what we are very much satisfied with.
Battery
The iPhone 5 may not have largest of the battery like the Motorola Razr Maxx. It is packed with Li-Po
1432 mAh battery. Although it may sound a bit little to you all, iOS
itself doesn't consume a lot of battery, so we can say that this device
gives us decent battery back up. Not too good nor too disappointing when
it comes to battery life. If you are a hardcore gamer, the battery is
going to be drained very quickly else it will last for a day under
normal usage. We hear some bugs about the battery life of iPhone 5 but
they are being patched by Apple itself. We had expected a larger battery
but this isn't too disappointing either. The battery is quite good with
9.4 days of standby time and 40 hours of music playback.
Here are the Pros and Cons of the iPhone 5:

Conclusion
The iPhone 5 surely is a great phone and
may be the best. If you already have a iPhone 4's, then I wouldn't
recommend you to purchase iPhone 5. But, in the other hand iPhone 5 is
very user friendly and has got all you would want out of a phone. It's a
all in one gadget. It's up to you to decide if you want this phone or
not. If you like a user-friendly and easy to use mobile, you
should obviously go for iPhone 5 but if you like to customize you phone
and like cool party tricks, I would recommend you to go for Android
Smartphones. Overall, it is a pretty good phone. It delivers all you
would want out of a phone. I would rate it 9 out of 10 if I really had
to!
