That Is Why iPhone 5 Is So Unique

There's a very simple way to describe the Apple iPhone 5: thinner, lighter and a bit taller than the iPhone 4S. While that gets across the general look of the phone, it rather underestimates what's gone into the design to achieve this.

For starters, Apple has managed to shave 1.4mm of the thickness of its previous phone. When you compare them side-by-side, what Apple has done is immediately obvious. While the iPhone 4S' screen and back bulged out from the side, the iPhone 5 has a flush back, while the screen is barely raised at all.

It's easy to tell the difference is size from photos, but weight's an altogether harder thing to describe. In pure stats, the iPhone 4S weighed 140g, while the iPhone 5 is 28g lighter at just 112g. Trust us, this is a big difference and it's immediately noticeable when you pick the iPhone 5 up: you get the feeling that it simply should weigh more, it's that light.

While the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 are clearly related, there are some cosmetic changes to the new model, which give it a different look and help keep the weight down. Gone is the all-glass rear, replaced instead with an aluminium panel that covers most of back of the phone, bar two glass panels at the top and bottom. We've been told that during manufacturing the rear of the phone is photographed with the aluminium panel in place, so that the best-fitting glass panels can be found. Our review model was certainly well put together, with a flush fitting rear.

One of the biggest reasons for the change in size of the iPhone 5 is because it has a larger 4in screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, rather than the 3:2 aspect ratio used on the iPhone 4S. What this means in practice is that both screens are the same width, but the iPhone 5's is slightly taller, with a resolution of 1,136x640 (the iPhone 4S had a resolution of 960x640), maintaining the same high 326ppi. That's still a Retina display, which Apple defines as a screen where you can't see the individual pixels.

Extra resolution is useful, as you can now fit five rows of icons on the homescreen, up from four on the iPhone 4S. It also makes sense when you use a lot of the applications: you can view more calendar appointments and emails in a list, for example.

It's not just a bigger screen, though, as the iPhone 5's display embeds the touch components with the actual pixels, removing a layer from the old screen. As well as being thinner, the new screen is brighter with higher colour saturation. Compared side-by-side with an iPhone 4S, we really noticed the difference with the iPhone 5 looking a lot more vibrant, with more pleasing colours. The screen is evenly lit and viewing angles are excellent, with the display easy to see from any angle. A 16:9 display also makes more sense if you're watching a lot of TV programmes or films on your phone, as the screen better suits the aspect ratios typically used, leading to a reduction or complete removal of black bars.

While Apple used to be a way ahead of the competition in resolution, we're seeing more Android phones with full 720p displays. The trade-off is that these Android devices typically have a larger screen with a slightly lower PPI. As we see it, a larger screen will give you more resolution, but you'll lose some of the pocketability of the iPhone 5, so it's a matter of choosing what is most important to you.

How Great Is Famous HTC One X+

Although just one of the two following companies is financially successful at the time being, Samsung and HTC are probably the two best Android smartphone manufacturers in the world.

Obviously enough, each one of these companies has a flagship Android smartphone that they claim is better than its competitors, but unfortunately for the Taiwanese manufacturer, the original international version of the HTC One X isn't topping off the Samsung Galaxy S3 in too many areas. However, that is likely to change as HTC plans to soon release the HTC One X+, an improved version of HTC's flagship for the main part of 2012.

As the display of the original HTC One X is still considered to be (by plenty of experts) the best smartphone display currently around, HTC probably did the right thing by not making any changes to it in the HTC One X+. As a result, the One X+ retains the 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD2 of its predecessor, one that features amazing color reproduction, brightness and viewing angles. The resolution is somewhat standard for a modern flagship: 1280 x 720 pixels, meaning that the One X+ features a 312 Pixel Per Inch (PPI) ratio.

On the other hand, you can't just go out and claim that the display on the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a poor display: you get 4.8 inches of Super AMOLED goodness running at the same 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, but one important aspect where the Galaxy S3 loses its display battle against the HTC One X+ is the color reproduction area. Another reason why we think of the HTC One X+ display to be better is the fact that Samsung has opted to use the PenTile arrangement in the S3 display, and not a regular RGB matrix.

The HTC One X+ takes this round despite the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has one of the top 5 displays currently available on a smartphone. While only a few very picky fellows might call the Samsung Galaxy S3 an ugly smartphone, the reality is that Samsung could really have done better in designing its 2012 flagship Android Smartphone. Build quality could also have been improved, as the S3 doesn't feel like a flagship smartphone in most people's hands.

On the other side, the HTC One X+ retains exactly the same build quality and design that have earned its predecessor the title of the sexiest Android smartphone to ever reach the consumer market. If it isn’t broke, why fix it? HTC seems to have no answer for that question, and this leads to a result that I personally applaud.
While this section of our comparison is the most subjective to personal taste, most of you guys will surely find that the HTC One X+ is a better looking device than the Samsung Galaxy S3, so HTC wins this round as well.

The main improvement that HTC has brought to the HTC One X+ when compared against its older brother is a bumped up Tegra 3 quad-core processor running at 1.7GHz per core. Add 1GB of RAM and Jelly Bean in the mix, and some leaked benchmark results have shown that the HTC One X+ is actually faster than any other Android smartphone currently available on the market (with the exception of the Galaxy Note 2, which is actually a phablet and not a smartphone by the true meaning of the word).

However, the best thing about the HTC One X+ is that it will not switch the improved Tegra 3 SoC with a Snapdragon S4 one once it reaches LTE-enabled carriers in the U.S.. This means that the HTC One X+ is bound to be the first Tegra 3 smartphone with LTE connectivity.

As it should be the case for all Android flagships nowadays, the HTC One X+ will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box, with HTC's Sense 4+ custom UI layered on top. While I definitely welcome the inclusion of the latest version of the Android OS in HTC’s upcoming flagship, there is really nothing to be amazed about here.
