Apple iPhone 5s Review

Apple iPhone 5s is a great iOS cellphone launched many years ago, with a 4" multi touch capacitive screen, an extremely fast 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core 64 bit processing unit, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.2 megapixels front camera. We will get a better idea about this phone's characteristics when we get into specific details.

This phone isn't very light for a phone this size, with a weight of 3.95 ounces. Being just 0.3 inches thick,this phone is extremely slim and practical. About its design, this cellphone is mostly manufactured with Aluminium, giving it a premium design and high resistance. Apple sells this cellphone in 3 colors, black, gray and gold.

Apple designed this phone with a incredible 4 inches display, and a resolution of 1136 x 640 , providing this phone with a delightful graphical experience. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a vivid 500 cd/m2 brightness and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

Apple decided to build this phone with a Apple A7 system chip, holding a high performance 64 bit Dual-Core processor ticking at 1.3 GHz with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit low for a phone of this quality. Graphic rendering often eats lots of CPU cycles, so this cellphone counts with an additional PowerVR G6430 graphic processing unit speeding at 600 megahertz to take some work out of the processor. A good point of this phone is its quite big 16 GB internal storage memory and though it doesn't count with a slot for SD memory cards, it should be enough to install a couple hundred apps and games, but it might not be suitable if you are fan of the heaviest games currently available.

This phone has Wi-Fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high speed data connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a bit slower 4G type and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM connection and it can connect to both GSM and CDMA carriers.

The Apple iPhone 5s has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera. the iPhone 5s's back side camera has a 2.2 aperture so it can take great photographs even in low light environments. It also captures videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second, and slow motion videos in 1280x720 (HD) up to 120 frames per second. The camera also counts with multiple valuable features like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, face detection shooting, geo tagging and time lapse video.

The iPhone 5s comes with a 1570 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will need to charge it after some moderate use. Apple claims this phone has a stand by time of 250 hours and a talk time of 10 hs. A possible problem to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it begins to lose capacity, making it necessary to replace the whole device.

This cellphone also includes a couple nice characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Apple is offering this cellphone for 400 dollars, which is not a really offer for a phone this level. If you want this phone mainly for social networks, will use it for work, are looking for a gaming phone or want it to take plenty of photos, you will probably be very happy with this cellphone. Apple sells this phone with USB Power Adapter, Lightning to USB Cable, Documentation and Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic.
