What the iPhone 5 is up against and its battle
19.05.12
Some of the competition to the iPhone 5 include smartphones with features such as built-in projectors, 41-megapixel cameras, large displays and of course the story for this year, quad-core processors and we thought we’d take a look at just a few of them to show just what the iPhone 5 will have to contend with. Although iPhone 5 specs are unconfirmed at this stage, there has been plenty of speculation about what we can expect. Some of the rumored features and specs that have been widely reported include a new A6 or A5X processor, although it’s unknown whether that will be dual or quad-core. Just some of the other inclusions anticipated include a better camera, a larger display, longer-lasting battery and also the possibility of LTE connectivity.
One of the main contenders to the iPhone 5 will be the Samsung Galaxy S3 and again as this one has not yet been announced (launch event expected in March) the specs are unconfirmed. The Galaxy S2 was a massive hit for Samsung and there’s no reason to imagine that the S3 won’t be just as successful, so this one could really dent sales of the iPhone 5. It’s widely speculated that the Galaxy S3 will have a 1.5GHz or 1.8GHz quad-core Exynos processor, a step up in screen size to a whopping 4.8-inches (possibly a Super AMOLED Plus display), 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. It will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and other likely specs include a 10 or 12-megapixel rear camera with 1080p HD video capture and LTE connectivity and there has also been talk of 3D support. As you can see then, if the Galaxy S3 turns up with most of what is expected it will be a real rival to the iPhone 5.
