Comparison: sony xperia z1 vs iphone 5

This morning we surprise you with a new duel between two great smartphones on the market today: the Sony Xperia Z1 is measured this time against one of Apple's flagships: the iPhone 5. Both terminals have excellent features that do not leave indifferent to nobody, with a big difference between their costs, as we will see in the end. The questions are: Is this difference justified? Which of them has a better value for money? Let's start:

Technical characteristics:

Designs: The iPhone with its 123.8 mm high x 58.5 mm wide x 7.6 mm thick and its 112 grams is a smaller and less heavy terminal than the Xperia Z1, which has 144 mm of height x 74 mm width x 8.5 mm thickness and a weight of 170 grams. The Apple terminal defends itself against shocks thanks to its back shell and its sides made of aluminum and stainless steel. Its front part has an oleophobic cover.The Sony Xperia case has an aluminum frame made in a single piece, which improves signal reception and its resistance to shocks. And if this seems little, it also has resistance to water and dust.

Screens: The 5-inch Full HD of the Xperia is 1 size larger than that of the iPhone, which has 4 inches. They also differ in terms of their resolutions, being 1920 x 1080 pixels in the case of the Z1 and 1136 x 640 pixels if we refer to the iPhone 5. The Sony model features Triluminos technology, giving it incredibly lifelike colors, displaying faces with natural skin tones. The American Smartphone has IPS technology, giving it a wide viewing angle and highly defined colors. To protect yourself from bumps and scratches, the iPhone has the glass made by the Corning Gorilla Glass company, while the Z1 is coated with a very resistant anti-splinter sheet.

Cameras: In this regard, the American terminal loses with its 8 megapixel rear lens compared to the 20.7 megapixel that presents the Z1. The latter contains features such as: a 27mm wide angle and f / 2.0 aperture, plus a lossless quality x3 digital zoom and great stabilization. They agree to have an LED flash. With its front cameras more of the same happens, while the Apple has 1.3 megapixels, the Xperia has 2 megapixels, resolutions that do not stand out especially but that will be very useful when making video calls and selfies. Video recording is done at 1080p HD and 30 fps in both cases.

Processors: While the iPhone 5 has a 1.2GHz dual-core Apple 6A CPU and 1GB RAM, the Sony Xperia Z1 is accompanied by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC and the Adreno 330 GPU. It also brings 2 GB of RAM. As for the operating system, they do not match either: IOS 6 makes an appearance on the iPhone 5, while Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean does the same with the Sony model .

Batteries: well, the difference in this aspect is quite a show: 3000 mAh of the Sony vs 1440 mAh of the iPhone; the difference is very palpable, therefore the autonomy of the Xperia will stand out and quite a lot over that of the iPhone.

Internal memories: Although the Sony Xperia Z1 and the iPhone 5 coincide in having a 16 GB model for sale, the iPhone 5 also has two other terminals on the market, one 32 GB and the other 64 GB. ROM. However, the Sony Smartphone has a microSD card slot of up to 64 GB, a feature that the iPhone is not equipped with.
