i went to a phone shop and try out iphone 5. Look sleek, slim and light. My disappointment were:
1) Doesn't look impressive compare to my iphone4/note 2. No WOW factor.
2) Map is big failure, can't even search for bukit jalil. klcc is located at putrajaya. pavillion is located beside hospital serdang. fuhh. What map is it.
3) The screen itself is a big let down. Yellowish tint to the screen. Contrast/brightness not comparable to note 2.
4) Camera so so only compare to note 2 about the same.
5) OS. hahaha i4, i4s all same interface. Nothing special about it.
Those who would like to upgrade from 4 or 4s to 5 better think twice.
1) People say beauty is in the eye of beholder. But just for the sake of playing your game, I'd say
Note 2 is just an elongated Note. No wow factor. (See what I did there?)
2)
Lies. Pavilion is located correctly on the iOS 6 Maps.
3) Have fun with the not-so-non-Pentile screen of Note 2. Also, DisplayMate rates iPhone 5 screen as the best smartphone screen they've tested to date.
4) iPhone 5 camera comes with f/2.4 aperture compared to the f/2.6 on Note 2. There are differences, especially for low-light uses.
5) OS. Fast, functional, stable, apps compatibility & optimization. That's far important. I'm not going to lie, getting different interface is all the rage with me for my Android device last time. Finally I'm settled with its stock UI. Eventually you want everything to just works, right?
Those who wanna upgrade to Note 2 also better think twice. In fact, it's very smart and the best thing to do for everybody no matter for which platform. Evaluate your planned upgrade really thorough, and weigh your decision based on what you've researched.
Also, both devices got their own strength. Those what I've lined up above are just comments for the very inaccurate 5 points being listed prior. Not that I'm implying that the device itself doesn't have its own upper hand on other parts or inferior anyway. Just doing some correction btw.
