hello everyone this is anuj from gadget gig.
today we will be doing a
late view of the iPhone 5s. so let's find out
it's still worth buying an iphone 5s
at this time
recently we did the unboxing of the
iphone 5s and if you want to check that
out
click the link in the description below
so let's talk about the specification of
the 5s it has the Apple a7 dual-core 1.5
gigahertz processor 1gb of ram 1570 mAh battery
4-inch Retina Display
fingerprint sensor, 8 megapixel
rear camera with true tone flash and
VGA front-facing camera for facetime
In terms of storage options we have is 16 32 and
64gb and it is available in space grey
silver and gold variant. we have here a
16gb space grey. So my main phone is nexus 6P
and i'm using 6P for almost a year
so i decided to switch to iphone 5s for few
days to find out if this phone has still
what it takes to be the smartphone below
20,000. keeping in mind the options
available in similar price range android
phones in the market. so we will start
with the design and build quality.
as expected Apple the phone build
quality top notch. its lightweight, sleek
and look sophisticated.
to be honest I was not comfortable using
the phone without the back cover so I
ordered this Rock Royce shockproof dual layer
cover from amazon so that I can
protect the phone from drops and
accidentally bumps and if you want to
buy that cover link is also in the
description below.
as I've mentioned while doing the unboxing of the phone
that it fits nicely in the hand. you don't
have to adjust your hands or use two
hands to reach out the corners of the
screen. you can use this phone with just
one hand which is difficult these days
with the big screen phones. though typing
sometimes little difficult and you end up
pressing multiple characters on the
keyboard accidentally.
so let's talk about the screen now.
coming back from the 5.5 inch quad HD
display of nexus 6p to a 4-inch and
that not even a full HD, took me little
bit time to adjust. but I must say the
4-inch display of this phone is gorgeous.
the brightness of the screen is amazing as
well as the color accuracy. it comes with
Gorilla Glass and oleophobic coating
i did not apply the screen guard on this
phone and till now I haven't seen any
scratches on the screen.
so let's talk about the operating system of the phone
out-of-the-box this phone comes with the
preloaded iOS 9.3.1 and on the
very first day i have upgraded this phone to iOS 10.
Apple is still pushing the latest iOS
updates on iphone 5s and above.
hopefully iphone 5s will be compatible with
future iOS updates for next couple of
years.
so let's talk about the performance with iOS 10.
it is smooth while doing the
normal tasks, calling, sending messages
light games work flawlessly and when
tried with the heavy game the 64-bit a7
chip started to struggle a bit and we
have noticed minor heating and higher battery
consumption on this phone, i also noticed
apps like Facebook takes fraction of a
second to open. that I feel is still a
decent performance by a three-year-old
processor .you will notice some lag
using safari with multiple tabs.
the capacity of the phone is 16 gb, out of
which the usable space is only 12.2 gb
and rest of the space is
mostly taken by the operating system
and after installing the usual apps with no music
no pictures I had approx 7 gb left
and if you're someone who carries music
and click a lot of pictures this phone
struggles a bit. but you also have an
option to upgrade to the iCloud storage
from the free 5gb to 50gb by paying
only 65 rupees per months
and enable the iCloud photo library
to upload the photos and videos
so let's talk about the camera now. the phone has 8 megapixel
rear camera with 2.2 aperture
it has true tone flash which helps to
capture the color accurately.
the performance of the camera is amazing
when used in outdoor but not in the low
light conditions
here are some pictures which we have
click with this phone and I'm still
impressed with the camera which is just
only 8 megapixel, about the battery
of the phone. the battery is not huge
it's only 1570 mAh
with heavy usage you would
have to charge this phone at least twice a day
and with normal usage i was able to
get a complete one day battery life
as a i have said earlier if you're using heavy applications
or watching videos you will
notice that battery dips down pretty fast.
charging the phone take less time
due to small size of the battery and
i have been charging from 0 to 100
in approximately one and a half hours.
After using the phone for approximately
15 days my final verdict about the phone
is very positive. And i must say that
this phone is still good in terms of
performance, Apps open quickly, no lag in
notifications and very fast fingerprint sensor.
Getting this performance from a
three year old phone is still amazing.
Thanks to the 64-bit processor which
apple introduced with this phone only
and continued in the other higher variant.
you can do everything which
newer iphones can do in terms of sending iMessages
and facetime.
overall i recommend this phone if you want to
experience iphone and do not want a hole
in your pocket. so that was our late review
