Comparison: sony xperia z1 vs iphone 5s

After our peculiar battle between the iPhone 5 and the Sony Xperia Z1, now it is the turn of the iPhone 5s. Next we will check if this new variant of Apple surpasses the original model and improves in terms of its characteristics and its value for money, although if there is one thing we can be sure of, it will continue to be just as superior or more in cost compared to the model of Sony, so in Professional Review we come to demonstrate once again whether or not such a difference is justified. We are all? Let's get started !:

Technical characteristics:

Designs: The iPhone with its 123.8 mm high x 58.6 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 American smartphone for its part has a back and side case made of aluminum and stainless steel. Its front part has an oleophobic cover. We have it available in "gold", "silver" and "space gray". The case of the Sony Xperia features 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: While the Sony terminal has 5 inches Full HD, the iPhone has 4 inches. They have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1136 x 640 pixels respectively. The one of the Sony model presents Triluminos technology, which endows it with incredibly real colors, being noticed for example in skin tones. The 5s has IPS technology, giving it an almost full viewing angle and vivid 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.

Processors: While the iPhone 5s has an Apple A7 chip with 64-bit architecture , an M7 motion coprocessor, and 1GB RAM, the Sony Xperia Z1 is paired with a 2.2- core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC GHz and the Adreno 330 GPU. It brings with it 2 GB of RAM. The IOS 7 operating system accompanies the iPhone 5s, while Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean is in charge of the Sony model .

Internal memories: although the two smartphones coincide in the fact of having a 16 GB model for sale, the Apple terminal has another model that contains 32 GB and another one with 64 GB of ROM. However, the Sony phone has a microSD card slot of up to 64 GB, a feature that the iPhone is not equipped with.

Connectivity: both devices have basic connections such as 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, although they also offer LTE / 4G support , as is common among high-end smartphones.

Cameras: the iPhone 5s stays at 8 megapixels, which thanks to its iSight sensor, is equipped with a wide angle, autofocus, face detection, f / 2.2 aperture, and also accompanied by a True Tone flash, among other features. The Sony Xperia has 20.7 megapixels and other features such as a 27mm wide angle and f / 2.0 aperture. and LED flash, plus a x3 digital zoom without quality loss and great stabilization. Its front cameras are very similar, 2.1 megapixels in the case of the American phone and 2 megapixels in the case of the Xperia. Video recording is done at 1080p HD and 30 fps in both cases.

Batteries: the 3000 mAh of the Xperia give a real review of the 1560 mAh that the iPhone 5s presents, and that is that those of Apple do not seem to take much trouble in increasing the capacity of their terminals, so the autonomy of this device will not be a strong point compared to that of the Z1.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Google Pixel will have the updates controlled by the operators

Availability and price:

The Sony Xperia is currently sold somewhat more expensive on the same website: 365 euros. The iPhone 5s is a much more expensive terminal: we find it on its official page for 699 euros in the case of the 16 GB model, 799 euros for the 32 GB model and for 899 euros if we refer to the 64 GB model. In conclusion, we are talking about two high-end terminals at high prices, especially if we talk about the iPhone, which reaches astronomical figures for many pockets, although there is the possibility of acquiring it through installment payments.
