iPhone 5 first impression first review

Lighter it feels, 5th iPhone The falls every iPhone owners to immediately takes the new for the first time in the hand. For the size, the material, and especially in direct comparison with the previous iPhone 4S - which weighs 140 grams with a whole lot more, namely 30 grams are similar, there are many easy phones, the Samsung Galaxy S II on with even greater display example. But the iPhone with a glass front and aluminum case expected this light weight of less than a plastic androids.


The only reason, and because of the previous remaining case width, the new iPhone is still good in the hand, although it's quite a bit, about 1 centimeter longer become yes. Also, it still remains quite good in a hand where the thumb, which for a HTC One X (4.7 inches) and Galaxy Note (5.5 inches) is no longer possible. The elongated display is not only unusual for iPhone users, but also distinguishes itself from similar sized Android smartphones. Usually slightly wider and rounded at the sides fail

Apple is the design language of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S with the metal frame, the hard edges of the glass front and remained faithful. But in small details does the new elegant and sophisticated. For example, when held in two shades back, the middle part silver aluminum (the white iPhone) or graphitfarbenem aluminum (on the black) exists. Comfortable with her falling on the roughened structure through which the iPhone does not feel as slippery as the glass of the iPhone 4S. Only at a closer look you notice the thickness difference: while the metal frame around the phone stayed the same width, front and back are not that far out of it.


Biggest change is the 4-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio. The same width 176 additional lines on the screen brings in height. Get used to it quickly: As a benefit, we felt that trying it out especially in the calendar and in the mail app, where you can lose on the iPhone 4S ever get the overview. For the first time on the iPhone videos show no more black borders, this is fun. The margins you get instead with yet to be optimized for the 16:9 format to see third-party apps - but Apple had cleverly none of them installed on the demo units, so everything was in London chic to full screen size.

In terms of display quality, much remains the same: How the iPhone 4S, the distance between the panel and glass surface is very small, what a quality image. In the highest level, both models radiate very bright, and when viewed from the side the colors change little. The contrast seemed at first glance also equally high. If one next to the iPhone 4S, one notices the wider gamut: In particular, the green is the new powerful, much like with the step on the iPad iPad 2 3rd The tones of a Amoled display, it certainly is not approach. Whether the reflections - as announced by Apple - have reduced, we could not see at first glance.

The new iPhone has built a faster A6 processor along with faster graphics, Apple promises twice the performance. On the surface, we could make no difference in performance to its predecessor because both surface and standard apps run smoothly and perfectly. Some applications such as Pages or iBooks started on the new iPhone but faster, and in the photo app everything went a little faster; ruckzuck triggered the camera.

In the areas provided with nice textures 3D maps for London and New York, we wiped and zoomed without noticeable trailer, the animations were choppy but are already. How much of the speed boost, it actually fails, only a thorough check will be able to show. Also, the faster mobile connection via LTE we could not judge in London.

Of the new panorama function - to many competing smartphones has long been standard - we could not make a proper picture, is in a close demo room lacked a suitable subject. Furthermore, you can not adjust how much the ISO value. The quality of the photos taken at first glance, but made ​​a good impression.
