Motorola, Samsung and Nokia Phones Attack the New iPhone 5

GLOBAL – The iPhone 5 seems to be facing a great deal of competition from other smartphones of similar grade.

A new 90-second “next best thing” ad was released by Samsung last week, emphasizing many features of the Samsung Galaxy S III unavailable in iPhone 5, such as instant photo and music sharing through NFC.

Apple Maps has already shattered the hopes of iOS 6 users with numerous problems, such as unclear and distorted satellite images and inaccurate locations and directions. Thus, many iPhone 5 users are now “iLost”, according to Motorola.

The Nokia Lumia 920 has proved its superiority over the iPhone 5, in terms of low-light images. Although Apple seems to have adapted oversampling techniques from the Nokia 808 PureView, latest camera samples show that Nokia’s PureView Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is still ahead of the iPhone 5 camera. The Lumia 920 can also produce better shots of fast-moving objects and remove blur from shaky hands.

However, the iPhone 5 seems to be more tolerant than the Samsung Galaxy S III. In a drop test by Android Authority, the S III suffered more damages than the iPhone 5 after three “realistic” drops.
