Apple’s iPhone 5 is more eye-catching than ever before, and thanks to solid under the hood improvements, the new iPhone 5 makes for a much better upgrade than the previous 4S (review). The latest iPhone feels like the scrum-half to the lock that is the Galaxy S3 (review) and the prop that is the Lumia 920 (review). In fact, number 5 is Cupertino’s lightest (112g; 20% lighter than iPhone 4S) and thinnest (7.6 mm) smartphone yet, resulting in the best device to use one-handed out of all the recent smartphones we’ve managed to test. Its premium dual tone (black and slate) anodized aluminum body looks amazing and feels solidly constructed, drawing in envying gazes from onlookers wherever we laid it down. More screen real estate Apple equipped the iPhone 5 with a new Retina display that measures 4" (640 x 1136 pixel resolution; 326 ppi) compared to 3.5" (640 x 960 resolution; same ppi) found on the 4S. Not only does it boast vivid colours (though not as good as on an AMOLED display) and fine details, but it outmatches most rivals (excluding the Lumia 920) when used outdoors in direct sunlight. Also onboard is a trustworthy-as-always 8 MP rear-facing autofocus camera which performs well in all lighting conditions, helping users snap excellent looking stills and lag-free full HD (1080p) videos. You are now also able to capture stills whilst recording video, and take panorama shots, but both of these features have been available to Android users for a while now.
