Comparison: jiayu s1 vs iphone 5

We continue to subject the Jiayu S1 to "examination", measuring it against other devices such as the iPhone 5, Apple's high-end. Both terminals contain excellent features, although their prices are very different. This is where the work of the Professional Review team comes into play, which will try to demonstrate in some way whether or not the difference between its costs is justified in proportion to the quality of the characteristics of one and the other smartphone. Do not lose detail:

We will start with its screens: 4.9 inches with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels protect the Jiayu , the iPhone 5 presents a 4-inch TFT with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels . Both smartphones have IPS technology that gives their screens a wide viewing angle and very vivid colors. The two terminals use Corning glass to protect against accidents: Gorilla Glass 2 in the case of the Chinese model and Gorilla Glass for the Apple model .

We continue to compare their processors: the Jiayu S1 features a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 SoC and an Adreno 320 GPU , while the iPhone 5 features a 1.2GHz dual-core Apple 6A- type CPU. The iPhone 5 has 1 GB of RAM, while the Jiayu comes with 2 GB of RAM. The Android 4.2 operating system. Jelly Bean we have it available in the Jiayu S1, while the iPhone comes with IOS6.

Its cameras have a notable difference: the sensor that accompanies the Jiayu S1 is made by sony and has 13 megapixels, while that of the American device has an appreciable 8 megapixels. Both smartphones have a built-in LED flash, in addition to other functions, such as autofocus, etc. The front lenses of the Jiayu S1 and iPhone 5 have 2 MP and 1.3 MP respectively, enough to make a video call or snapshot. Video recording is supported by both terminals, being performed in HD 720p quality by the Jiayu and in Full HD 1080p at 30 fps in the case of the iPhone 5.

Connectivity: both devices have very common connections such as 3G, WiFi or Bluetooth, although the terminal on the block also offers 4G / LTE support .

Now their internal memories: the two smartphones have a 32 GB model, although Apple's phone also has two extra models on the market: one of 16 GB and the other of 64 GB . However, the Chinese model presents the possibility of expanding this memory to 64 GB through microSD cards, a feature that the iPhone 5 does not have.

Its batteries have a very different capacity: 2300 mAh if we talk about the Jiayu and only 1440 mAh if we refer to the iPhone. As we can see, those of Apple have not put too much battery in this aspect, since their capacity hardly presents improvement with respect to their previous terminals.

Designs: The Chinese model has dimensions of 138 mm high x 69 mm wide x 9 mm thick and 145 grams of weight. The American smartphone for its part has 123.8 mm high x 58.5 mm wide x 7.6 mm thick and 112 grams. As for their casings, the Jiayu features a body made of steel that gives it great robustness. For its part, the iPhone has a back and side case made of aluminum and stainless steel. The entire front part of the terminal is made up of an oleophobic cover.

Finally, prices: the Jiayu S1 is a terminal that presents good value for money thanks to its highly competitive specifications that we can buy for around 230 euros. 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 with many terminals, we can take advantage of permanence rates offered by our operator.
