However, there is a growing belief that the Nokia Lumia 920, which runs the Windows Phone 8 is a much better smartphone.
Here are some of the features that the Nokia Lumia 920 wins in comparison to the iPhone 5.
1) Screen
The screen size of the Nokia Lumia 920 is bigger and sharper than the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch Retina display with a resolution of 1136x640-pixels while the Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch Huge PureMotion HD+ WXGA IPS LCD, ClearBlack display. It also has a resolution of 1280x768 pixels, which is higher than the iPhone 5.
2) Camera
The Nokia Lumia sports an 8.7 megapixel rear PureView camera with optical image stabilisation and Carl Zeiss optics. It is better than iPhone 5's 8-megapixel camera...which is one of Apple's strong point.
However, there is no mention of noise reduction, low-light performance and fast photo taking in the Nokia Lumia 920 like the Apple's iPhone 5. Also, the 920's front-facing camera offers 1.2 megapixel front camera compared with the iPhone 5's 720 pixels.
3) Map
Even though Apple introduce their own Apple Inc's home grown Maps feature, it was not as good as the Nokia Map. With Nokia City Lens Augment reality, users can discover all the city has to offer by looking at the camera's viewfinder. It lets you find local businesses simply by pointing your phone in the right direction, a feature not available on the new iPhone.
Apple Inc's home-grown Maps feature is already facing criticism from users globally for a number of geographical errors, missing information and because it lacks features that made Google Maps so popular, including public transit directions, comprehensive traffic data or street view pictures. The new program has no public transit directions, limited traffic information, and flat-out mistakes, such as putting one city in the middle of the ocean.
4) Design
Let's put it this way...we are bored of the iPhone 5...even though Apple might emphasize on the elegance of the design of the Apple's baby, it is still the same iPhone...it could be thinner with a smaller port but the design is nothing in comparison to the beautiful Nokia Lumia 920. The Nokia Lumia 920 offers unique Live Tiles customisation, unlike the iPhone 5 on which icons are displayed in a single way, which can not be changed according to personal interests. Besides that, the Lumia 920 comes in the black, white, grey, red and yellow colours. On the other hand, the iPhone comes in white and silver, and black and slate colours.
5) User Interface, UI
We all know that the Apple's touchscreen has always been very sensitive but apparently, the Lumia 920's super sensitive touchscreen can be used not only with your fingertips, but also with finger nails, gloves and even any kind of pens.
Well, apparently, there are still more things that Nokia is better than the iPhone 5....
The charging of the Nokia Lumia 920 is one of the amazing breakthrough in comparison to the iPhone 5. With built-in wireless charging, it can be charged without being plugged in...the users just place it on a wireless charging pod, while Apple's iPhone 5 features ordinary charging.
