These
two phones are from manufacturers with contrasting fortunes in the smartphone
market. Apple has sold millions and millions and millions of their iPhone
series, with 50 million of the iPhone 5 sold in a single quarter of 2012.
Motorola have sold around 120 million of their Razrs in three years. So, how do
these two phones stack up on display, the appearance and design, their
processors and so on. Here we compare and contrast the Motorola Razr I with the iPhone 5 to see if it is actually a better phone.
Appearance and design
The
Apple iPhone does not diverge massively from its traditional iPhone look. They
have made it slightly taller to cope with the 4 inch screen compared to the 3.5
inch screen, but it is the same iconic look that has served Apple so well.
The
Motorola has again gone for a similar design to its predecessors, but it's
certainly a bit more impressive and imposing than its forbearers. It has a
display that goes almost edge to edge and is a nice looking phone. They
actually both look very similar next to each other in shape. Personally, I
prefer the iPhone and appreciate the fact that it got it right first.
Display
The
Motorola has a 4.3 inch display compared to the iPhone 5’s 4 inch. However, the
technology on the iPhone 5 is superior. It has a better pixel density and just
provides a sharper, nicer display. Therefore, on the display, I give Apple
iPhone 5 the win.
The camera
The
iPhone 5's 8 mega pixel camera is better than the Motorola's 8 megapixel
camera. It takes more consistent, better pictures and therefore takes the win.
The operating system
The
iPhone 5 runs its Apple iOS 6 platform. Motorola runs Android. Which you prefer
already dictates whether you like the Apple or the Motorola on the software
front. For me, the Android platform is still much better than the iPhone iOS 6
platform, and therefore, I would choose the Motorola on this front.
The storage and processor
The
iPhone for me has a better processor although its specifications don't look as
impressive. It has an amazing ability to get a lot out of the operating system.
It's fast, snappy, and frankly incredible. The iPhone comes with different
amounts of on-board storage including 13, 32, and 64 Gigabytes. T-Mobile, 3
Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and other networks will require pretty hefty contracts
to get the 64GB phone as it is extremely expensive.
The
Razr comes with 8 Gigabytes of on-board storage and capacity to increase using
a micro SD card. I like the fact that it has a micro SD slot. However, on the
processor and the memory, overall the iPhone wins for me.
Conclusion
For
me, the iPhone wins this battle. It is a solid and impressive phone with an
iconic design that is extremely popular in the consumer market.
