Apple iPhone 5 Review

Apple iPhone 5 is a brilliantly designed iOS cellphone released back in the year 2012, packed with a 4 inches screen, a very powerful Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1.3 GHz, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. Let's take a better sight of what this phone has to offer.

This cellphone is just 0.3 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest phones currently available. Regarding its construction, the Apple iPhone 5 is mainly manufactured with Aluminium, which gives it a top level finish and a better resistance. This device is available in 2 different color options, black and white. This time, it seems like Apple didn't care about the weight in this 3.95 oz cellphone.

Apple ships this cellphone with a Apple A6 system chip, packing a high performance Dual-Core processor ticking at 1300 MHz and only 1016 MB of RAM which is a little bit low for such a solid cellphone. This cellphone has an awesome 32 GB internal memory and although it doesn't come with an external SD slot, it it is more than enough to install lots of applications, games, songs, pictures and videos without thinking about how much storage is left.

This cellphone includes an awesome 1136 x 640 4-inches screen, which makes all images and videos look amazing. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with an incredible 500 candela/m2 brightness and has multi-touch detection.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front facing camera. It also shoots videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera counts with multiple amazing characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, HDR mode, time lapse video and geo tagging.

This device offers wifi capability (which it can share with other devices acting as a modem or router), 4G (LTE) great performance connection type and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a slower 4G technology and 3G fast internet connection, over HSDPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers and it can connect using both GSM and CDMA.

This phone also features a few interesting features like Bluetooth (for communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone packs a mid sized 1440 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides the iPhone 5 a quite short battery duration. Apple afirms this phone has a stand by time of 225 hours and a talk time of 8 hs. A key issue to evaluate is that the Apple iPhone 5's battery isn't removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to get older, having to buy a new phone to "solve it" or maybe take it to an expert who can open it and switch its battery.

This cellphone might not be a good choice considering it costs $ 200, while other similar devices are sold for a bit less than that. No matter if you want it for work, will use this cellphone mostly for social networks and internet browsing, want this phone to take lots of pictures or want a device to play games, you will probably be very pleased with it. Apple packs the iPhone 5 with Documentation, USB Power Adapter, Lightning to USB Cable and Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic.
