Apple iPhone 5 Review

Apple iPhone 5 is a fascinating iOS phone launched back in 2012, equipped with a 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core CPU, a medium sized 4" multi touch screen, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.2 megapixels front facing camera. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

This cellphone is powered by a Apple A6 chip, backed up by an extremely powerful 1.3 GHz Dual-Core processing unit with only 1016 MB RAM which is a little poor for a phone this powerful. This phone comes with a 64 GB awesome internal storage memory and though it doesn't include an external SD slot, it it is more than enough to store lots of apps, games, songs, pictures and videos without even thinking about how much storage capacity is left.

This cellphone is available in 2 color options, black and white. The iPhone 5 has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. This time, it seems like Apple forgot about weight optimization in this 3.95 ounces phone. About its construction materials, this cellphone is mainly made with Aluminium, giving this cellphone a top level finish.

The iPhone 5 has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera. This phone also films 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. The camera also includes many interesting features: flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, HDR mode, time lapse video and geo tagging.

Apple designed this phone with an awesome 4" display, and a 1136 x 640 resolution, giving this cellphone an amazing graphic quality. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with an incredible 500 candela/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone features wi-fi capability (which can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high speed internet connection and also HSPA+ connection type, that is a lower speed 4G type and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM networks and it can use both CDMA and GSM carriers.

This device uses a mid capacity 1440 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery providing this phone with a poor battery duration. This phone has a reported talk time of 8 hs and a stand by time of 225 hs according to Apple. An important issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to last shorter, making it necessary to replace the whole phone or maybe take it to an expert who can disassemble the cellphone and switch the battery.

The Apple iPhone 5 also includes a handful of useful features like Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Apple iPhone 5 might not be so convinient considering it is priced 195 dollars, while other similar cellphones are being sold cheaper than that. No matter if you need this cellphone for work, need a cellphone to mostly use social networks, need a phone for playing games or you love taking photographs, this cellphone is definitely a great option . Apple also sells the Apple iPhone 5 with USB Power Adapter, Documentation, Lightning to USB Cable and Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic.
