what's up guys they be here from foam bug and in this video we'll be comparing myself / or smartphone in the Nokia Lumia 920 against Apple's in the iPhone 5 to see which smartphone comes out on top between the two now these are two very different smartphones as you guys can see and they take different approaches to what a smartphone should be but they each have their own set of pros and cons so we're gonna go ahead and compare them in this video see which one at least is better for you between the two we'll start off this comparison like we usually do by comparing the build quality and design of each bone the Lumia 920 is made up of a solid feeling polycarbonate material that's coloured all the way through which means any scuffs and scratches you may encounter will be less noticeable than it would be on the iPhone 5 the 920 weighs in at a hefty 185 grams making it almost 65% heavier than the iPhone 5 and it doesn't do a great job by hiding that way either with a ten point seven millimeter thickness this may seem like a deal-breaker and for many it just might be but personally I think its weight and thickness play quite well into the premium and durable feel that Nokia has been known for over time the iPhone 5 has a premium look and feel to it as well with an all glass and anodized aluminum body but it's a different type of premium compared to the Lumia 920 if the 920's body were to be a luxury sedan then the iPhone 5s would be more like a sports car with a slight weight of 112 grams and it's 28% thinner profile which measures in at just seven point six millimeters thick and not only is the iPhone thinner and lighter but it also is not as wide as the Lumia which makes it a little bit easier to hold and use in one hand the two phones are really really close when it comes to build quality and design but if I had to give an inch to any one phone here it would be the Lumia 920 I only say this because despite its unfavorable size and weight the 920 is available in more colors than the iPhone 5 is and has organ Armour curves on the back and edges that kind of make up for its bulging size and the durability of the phone is just downright impressive just watch some of the durability tests on the channel if you don't know what I'm talking about alright with a design and build quality out of the way let's take a look at the displays on each smartphone the Lumia 920 has a 4.5 inch pure motion plus IPS display with a resolution of 1280 by 768 giving you a ppi of 330 one the iPhone five on the other hand has a 4-inch Retina display with the resolution of 11 36 by 640 garnering a PPI of 326 when it comes to brightness and viewing angles both screens are among the best available but from our experience the iPhone 5 looks brighter when indoors and seems to have slightly better viewing angles as a result however the clear black technology in the 920 that causes this makes up for the dimmer screen with better outdoor visibility when you consider the bigger screen size higher HD resolution and pixel density along with this more sensitive touchscreen that could be used with gloves or a pen you have to give the win to the Lumia 920 in the display category when it comes to performance both phones for a dual-core processor with a gig of ram the Lumia 920 has the Snapdragon s4 under the hood while the iPhone 5 has Apple's custom a6 chip so how do they perform you ask well from our tests the iPhone 5 booted up loaded apps and browse the web faster than the Lumia 920 did giving it the clear advantage in the performance category you would think that with the superior performance in slimmer design the smaller 1440 milliamp battery on the iPhone 5 wouldn't last as long as the 2000 milliamp battery on the Lumia 920 but you'd be wrong thanks to its smaller screen size and perhaps a few software optimizations the iPhone 5 actually lasted us longer than the Lumia 920 data our tests giving it the edge in the battery department the saying goes that the best camera is the one that you have on you and luckily both of these smartphones have great cameras the Lumia 920 sports an eight point seven megapixel camera with carl zeiss lens and LED flash it also has optical image stabilization where little Springs absorb the movement of a shaking hand to help produce clearer images and stable video the iPhone 5 on the other hand has an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and its built-in app gives you the option for panorama and HDR modes where you'd have to download a separate app on the Lumia to get the 920's built-in app does how I relate to change things like ISO and exposure giving you more control over how your photos look overall we found that the Nokia's camera produce slightly better pictures and much better video than the iPhone 5s giving the wind to the Lumia in this category because both phones lack the option for expandable storage the battle on the storage front comes down to which manufacturer offers the highest memory model which in this case is Apple with an available 64 gigabyte I phone 5 compared to the 32 gigabytes found on the highest mall of the Lumia 920 of course this doesn't really matter if you don't plan on getting a phone with 64 gigabytes but it's still something worth mentioning with both phones having a three microphone setup and support for HD Voice the call quality is great on either device the speakers aren't too bad either here's a sample of both in our opinion the Lumia 920 stereo speakers have louder and fuller output than the iPhone 5s giving it the win in this category agree or disagree let us know in the comments down below when it comes to the software side of things it really depends on what you prefer between Windows Phone 8 and iOS 6.1 both operating systems offer unique features and benefits that go beyond the scope of this video but the thing we think is worth mentioning here is the huge advantage the iPhone 5 has when it comes to available apps while a lot of the major apps out there have come or are coming to Windows Phone the fact remains that some of the apps you may use on your current phone be it an older iPhone or an Android device won't be available on the Lumia 920 and because of this the iPhone 5 has the clear advantage in this department some of the notable features on the Lumia 920 are that unlike the iPhone 5 has a dedicated camera button with a two-stage shutter it has qi wireless charging capability so you can finally dish the wire and it supports near-field communications or NFC notable features on the iPhone 5 are that it has a dedicated vibrate switch it has HDMI output via its lightning port and that it comes with Apple's ear pod headphones inside the box before deciding on which phone is best for you the final thing you should consider is the price I'll drop some Amazon links down in the description box below but the gist of it is that the Lumia 920 is currently available for as low as $50 with a two-year agreement and cost $450 at full retail for the 32 gigabyte version the iPhone 5 on the other hand is available for $200 with the two-year agreement and costs $650 at full retail for the same 16 gigabyte version the 100 to 200 dollar difference isn't pocket change for most people so pricing is definitely an advantage the Lumia 920 has over the iPhone 5 all right there you have it that's our take on the Nokia Lumia 920 versus the Apple iPhone 5 like I said in the beginning of the video both phones have a lot to offer and each has their own set of pros and cons when it comes to choosing which one is best for you it's not just about counting the pros and cons of each device but determining how important each one of those pros and cons are to you anyways that's pretty much it
