FullHD(Android flagships) 1920x1080=2.073.600 pixels
IOS 1136x640=727.040 pixels

joonius, 28 Sep 2013Cons - TouchID is greatly underused. Absolutely as expected.Just being open-minded, people lock and unlock their phones all the time

ameralamir, 27 Sep 2013Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Sony Xperia z1, are much more better than iPhone 5s ...Rubbish,best smartfone is one that suites your needs not the one driven by spec which is what most uneducated people go for.

dual core krait androids performed similar to Quad core A7's
just take a look at nexus 10 it has dual core but proper cortex a15. it performs way better than anroid a7 quadcores but lesser than s800
a7 processor is made up of custom cores and performance is similar to cortex a15 dual.

Zero-Cool, 27 Sep 2013... I was hoping for significant improvements in iPhone 5S and iOS 7 but I was disappointed ..... moreDitto! (My feelings on the iPhone 5s echo yours and I'm also getting a Note 3.) BTW, check out the Note 8, good for when you need a larger display. Very fast too.

Anonymous, 27 Sep 2013Regarding audio quality and power on headphones output: 1st place: htc one,one mini,butterfly,... moreI agree with you. I've compared the speaker of 5S, 5C. But none of them comes anywhere close to the HTC One which I compared with both iPhones to the same song. Nothing seems to impress me when it comes to audio quality on a smartphone more than the HTC One ever since I first heard it. Especially for a tiny device, being able to produce such deep, loud and clear sound... A real pleasure to the ears and audiophiles. Although to be fair the iPhone 5S only has one speaker, and it sounds alright for a single speaker, just sounds a little bit on the quieter side.

Still not possible to bluetooth your mp3 or pictures to your friend using the iPhone? The bluetooth is still not fully functional.

Not here to bash apple or android, still just about clinging on to my s2 although its very laggy and on its last legs now. What people seem to forget about iPhones when moaning about the price is that they hold there value extremely well. I'd be lucky to get £100 for my s2 although the 4s can still command about £250. Just something to think if your comparing prices and value for the long run

Had to waste my money on some cheap junk chinese memory card from ebay which made the S4 go so hot I had to take it out again.
Good memory cards cost a lot more but when it's an $800 phone it's probably advisable to pay a bit more.

Very nice review GSMArena. You may have helped me to make up my mind. Having ordered and Iphone 5s and still waiting with no obvious delivery date I think I'll just get the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 instead. It's screen is mind boggling! That said Apple do have that habit of being able to get in your head! Apparently I really do need an Iphone!

VLC and other players are available for free in the App store.
Import whatever videos you want into iTunes on a PC.
Sync to phone.
I can't find VLC for my S4 and Samsung wants $10 a month so their music streaming thing works.
Any music you want can be imported into iTunes and synced.
It has always been this way.
I don't know why you try and persist with the myth that iPhones can only use content purchased from Apple.
Not very professional of your reviewer.

Gsmarena you still don't get it do you? Apple wants to take things slowly.

Thats fantastic. Thou im not an apple fan, i must say that CPU & GPU performance are on par with the top droid. Dual core or quad core or octa core nevermin as far as the phone handles the os butter smooth.
The negative things are very restricted os. Highly dependent on itunes. no sd card. high cost.
Just a tuned engine in the vintage car. Engine is excellent. Not the whole car.

clearly not worth it, altough i am an android fan i will admit that it is a very fast and smooth phone, the internal memory is very low, no sd card, and one with bigger memory costs way to much, no mass storage, no usb on the go, and as good as it might be , the screen is way to small and the limitations that apple brings are extreme not to mention that in my country romania it's about 1050 euros, with that kind of money you get better phones with no limitations with more storage better cameras , great displays not only that but you even save a lot of money
