Comparison: jiayu g5 vs iphone 5s

After the comparison between the G5 of the Chinese brand Jiayu and the Apple iPhone 5, now it is the turn of the 5S model of the apple brand. Or put another way: Android Jelly Bean 4.2 VS IOS7, Mid Range VS High Range. Two devices with good features and completely different prices, so we will try to check with this article if the difference in cost is proportional to its qualities. Stay tuned:

First, we will talk about its cameras: the Asian model has a 13-megapixel main lens, which also has a gravity, proximity, light sensor (known as BSI technology) and LED flash. Its front camera has 3 megapixels. The device of the apple has a rear 8-megapixel iSight sensor, with a wide angle, autofocus, face detection, f / 2.2 aperture, accompanied by a True Tone flash, among other features. Its front lens has only 1.2 MP, enough to make video calls or profile photos on social networks. Video recording is supported by both terminals, although in the case of the iPhone 5s it is done in Full HD 1080p quality at 30 fps with the main objective and in HD 720p if we talk about the front camera in the case of the Jiayu G5.

Now its screens: while the Jiayu has 4.5 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels that gives it 312 pixels per inch, the iPhone 5s presents 4 inches with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels (326 dpi). The Chinese model has IPS technology , which gives it a wide viewing angle and very vivid colors, in addition to having Gorilla Glass 2 protection . The Apple model highlights its innovative Touch ID sensor application that is used as a fingerprint reader.

Processor: The Jiayu features a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6589T SoC and an IMGSGX544 GPU. The iPhone 5s presents a 64-bit A7 Chip, which makes it the first terminal in the world with this feature and will allow us to enjoy a truly spectacular data processing speed. It also features an M7 coprocessor, which collects data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass, while also freeing up the A7 chip and improving its energy efficiency. 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 IOS7 does the same with the Apple model.

Let's continue with its connectivity: while the G5 has basic connections such as WiFi, Bluetooth, FM or GPS, 4G / LTE connectivity is only present in the iPhone 5s.

Battery: the difference between its capacities is quite remarkable, resulting in 2000 mAh by the Jiayu and 1560 mAh in the case of the iPhone 5s. 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 5, had 1440 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 5s does not have.

Now we are going with its designs: as for the Jiayu G5, it has a metal and resistant casing that reminds us a lot of the Apple brand models, as well as a front part 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 58.6 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. The entire front of the terminal consists of an oleophobic cover and Gorilla Glass . Available in "silver", "gold" and "space gray".

Let's finish with their prices: we can find the Chinese model 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 5s, as expected, is much more expensive: 679 euros for the 16 GB and free model is available on the pccomponentes website. If we do not want a single payment (something logical talking about astronomical amounts for a smartphone and more in these times) we can negotiate some type of contract with our operator.
