The advent of Smartphone has revolutionized the whole concept of mobile phones. Today, the mobile phone market is overflowed with Smartphones from different companies and is available at a much lesser price as compared to the earlier times. Blackberry was one of the pioneers to introduce Smartphones. However, today there are companies like Samsung and Apple that tops the list as the manufacturers of Smartphones.
Samsung has come up with Galaxy S4 recently to give a tough competition to Apple that launched iPhone 5 last year and Blackberry is no longer behind. It has launched its new Z10. All the three Smartphones comes loaded with features but has their own share of merits and demerits and comparing the three is not worth but if you take a look on all the three, each of them has areas that are advantageous over other.
Design
BlackBerry Z 10, Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 comes in a beautiful design. Apple’s iPhone 5 comes in a sleek, compact and elegant design. The design looks classy as well as chic. Although, Z10 from BlackBerry has a similar design as iPhone 5 but has failed to meet the quality that iPhone 5 has. Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is little bulky and with its plastic shell and does not look as expensive as it should have. But, the glossy and smooth plastic casing that has rounded edges makes it easy to hold, which adds to its design but even S4 cannot compete with iPhone 5 in terms of its looks and design.
Display
Coming to display, Galaxy S4 has a 5 inch Full HD AMOLDED display with a screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. This Smartphone with 5 inch display makes watching videos and playing 3D games an amazing experience. Z10 has 4.2-inch 768 x 1280 LCD display delivers the higher pixel density of 356 ppi. iPhone 5 screen size of 4 inch with a resolution of 1136x640 pixels with LCD Retina Display. Although, it delivers a natural and clear picture quality, Galaxy S4 has a better display with magnificent contrast and saturated colours. The viewing angles of iPhone 5 seem to be better than S4 and Z10 but both Z10 and iPhone 5 can be viewed in the dark. Nevertheless, Z10 cannot match the clarity offered by iPhone 5.
Interface and Functionality
When it comes to interface and functionality, it becomes a little hard to compare the three as each of them is built in different platforms. The operating system of Z10 is quite similar to iPhone 5 and is powered by BB10 OS.The operating system of S4 is Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and iPhone 5 runs on the latest iOS 6. S4 has Samsung’s TouchWiz Nature interface, which customizes the entire experience and adds numerous distinctive features like Smart Stay, Dual Shot, Air View and lots more of which some of them are useful and others are not. Android, as we all know is feature rich and works seamlessly. Similarly, BB10 also provides a good interface with various transition as well as animation. Whereas, Apple iOS is easy to use and has a more user-friendly interface but the keyboard of Z10 seems to be better than the both. Moreover, organizing emails on BlackBerry Z10 is much easier than the other two as it is considered to be one of the best Business phones in the market.
Processor and Memory
Coming to processor, Galaxy S4 is powered by either quad-core 1.9 GHz Snapdragon 600 chipset, or the octa-core 1.6 GHz Exynos 5 Octa chipset, where both the processors are quite powerful and is capable of running more specs and features. The RAM of this phone is 2 GB, which is amazing and allows the phone to work smoothly. Z10 is powered by dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset with 2GB of RAM. While, iPhone 5 is not loaded with as much features and specs as S4 and is powered by dual-core 1.3 GHz A6 processor with 1 GB RAM. Both S4 and iPhone 5 comes in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB internal memory, respectively but Z10 comes with just 16 GB internal storage. However, the internal memory of S4 and Z10 can be increased via micro SD card, and iPhone 5 lacks on this.
Internet and Connectivity
Smartphones are popular for making internet accessible through phones. Both Samsung GALAXY S4 and Apple iPhone 5 supports 4 G LTE network along with HSPA+ with downlink speeds of up to 42.2 Mbit/s down. Whereas Z10 supports 4 G LTE and are available in CDMA and GSM versions that supports this network. All the three phones support Bluetooth 4.0, and Z10 has 5GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi for connectivity. S4 has an IR blaster, which allows the handset to be used as a remote control for your television and Z10 comes with NFC, that gives it a up to date stroke.
Camera and Multimedia
Camera has been a major attracting feature of phone today and both the phones offer amazing camera. The S4 sports a 13 MP camera on the rear and a 2 MP camera on the front, whereas iPhone 5 and Z10, both has an 8 MP camera on the rear. Each of the phones has amazing features that makes. However, the camera of S4 rules over both Z10 and iPhone 5. In terms of Multimedia, iPhone 5 from Apple outstands both the phones from Samsung and BlackBerry, respectively.
Verdict
Although, the rest of the features cannot be compared as each of them has their own advantages. In my opinion, if you are looking for a good business phone, then BlackBerry Z10 is the ideal one to meet all your needs. If you are tech-savvy, then Samsung GALAXY S4 suits you the best. However, going by looks, user-friendliness and other features, Apple iPhone 5 is matchless.
