Comparison: jiayu g5 vs iphone 5

The turn of the comparison between the G5 of the Chinese brand Jiayu and the iPhone 5 from Apple has arrived. Or put another way: Android Jelly Bean 4.2 VS IOS6, Mid Range VS High Range. They are devices with good features, although throughout the article we will check if the difference in cost (which we will eventually check) is proportional to their qualities. Do not lose detail and perhaps today you know the best gift to make the next Kings. With that said, let's get started:

Its screens are completely different: while the Jiayu has 4.5 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (312 dpi), the iPhone 5 presents a 4-inch TFT with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels. Both screens have IPS technology, which gives them a wide viewing angle and great realism in their colors. The Chinese model has Gorilla Glass 2 protection and the Apple model defends itself against possible accidents through an oleophobic cover and Gorilla Glass.

Processor: The Jiayu features a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6589T SoC and an IMGSGX544 GPU. The iPhone 5 features a 1.2GHz dual-core Apple 6A- type CPU. The two smartphones are accompanied by 1 GB of RAM, although the exception comes from the Advanced model, which presents 2 GB. The Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean operating system accompanies the Jiayu and the IOS6 does the same with the Apple model.

Camera: In the battle of megapixels, the Asian model is a winner thanks to its 13 megapixels, which also have a gravity, proximity, light sensor (known as BSI technology) and LED flash. Its front camera has 3 megapixels. The device of the apple has an appreciable 8 megapixels, also accompanied by an autofocus function and an LED flash, among others. Its front lens has only 1.3 MP, although enough for a video call or snapshot. Video recording is supported by both terminals, being performed in Full HD 1080p quality at 30 fps in the case of the iPhone 5.

Battery: the difference between its capacities is quite remarkable, resulting in 2000 mAh by the Jiayu and 1440 mAh in the case of the iPhone 5. As we can see, the American company has not taken too much trouble to improve this aspect, taking into account that its predecessor the iPhone 4, had 1420 mAh.

As for the internal memories, we can say that both terminals have a 32 GB model on the market. However we must highlight its differences: the Chinese model also has a Basic 4 GB ROM terminal, while the Apple phone has two extra models: one of 16 GB and the other of 64 GB. The Jiayu also has the incentive that its internal memory can be expanded to 64 GB through microSD cards, a feature that the iPhone does not have.

Now we are going with their designs: regarding their cases we could say that they are very similar, being able to speak of "inspiration" on the part of the Chinese for the finishing of the Jiayu G5, since its metallic and resistant case reminds us a lot of the iPhone, Although its front is truly similar to that of the LG Optimus Black in its white version. Its size: 130mm high x 63.5mm wide x 7.9mm thick. The iPhone 5 for its part, with its 123.8 mm high x 58.5 mm wide x 7.6 mm thick and its 112 grams is a smaller terminal. It has a back and side shell made of aluminum and stainless steel.

Connectivity: While the G5 manages with basic connections such as WiFi, Bluetooth, FM or GPS, 4G / LTE connectivity is only present in the iPhone 5, as is common among high-end smartphones.

Prices: the Chinese model can be found for 245 and 290 euros on its official website, in normal or Advanced models respectively, also available in black or white. That said, we can see that it is a device that presents a good quality / price ratio. The iPhone 5 is a much more expensive terminal: currently it can be found new for an amount that exceeds 500 euros in most cases. However, as it happens with almost all terminals, we can pay it little by little through quotas covered by permanence rates offered by our operator.
