The legend(iPhone) is back but this time it has simply gone more powerful than ever. The all new iPhone 5 is the 6th generation iPhone which is powered by 1.2 Ghz quad core Apple A6 processor. iPhone 5's quad processor is what makes this device seriously fast. It runs an iOS 6.x.x (with updates coming regularly). One great feature of this device a new feature Shared Photo Streams. You can share a series of photos with friends and family to share and comment along with 1.3 MP front facing camera. We has never seen any thing like this before .Also, iPhone 5 has a 8mp camera capable of 1080p HD video recording just like that on iPhone 4s. Also, panorama is finally official.Even the camera is very fast .It takes the fraction of seconds to take a snap shot.With is its single LED flash , users don't have to worry about clicking photos in dark places. There are 3 microphones in iPhone 5. One of front, one on back and one on bottom. Finally, the days for 32 pin dock connector is gone and now we have a new connector which is 80% smaller. iPhone 5 has worldwide 4G and LTE connectivity feature in a single chip!

Design
The iPhone 5's design is very beautiful & attractive .Having a glass in its back makes it even more attractive .The phone is thin(7.6mm) just like its rivals .In the front , we have a 4 inch retina display having a resolution of 1136x640.On the top front, there is a 1.3 MP camera capable of 720p hd video recording . On the bottom of the screen, we have a physical back bottom. The left side of the device has a button which is use to toggle device to silent mode from general mode and vice versa. On the right, there is a physical volume rocker key.There is no dedicated camera shutter button. On the top, we have lock/power off button & we have dual speaker placed below along with the unknown pin USB connector which is 80% smaller than 32 pin connector which can be used for charging & data transfer.
On the back of phone, we have a 8mp camera with the LED flash. There is also Apple logo on the back of the device. That's all about the design of this beast. It may not be the best of the best but it surely is good enough to catch one's eyes.
Display
As mention earlier , iPhone 5 has 4 inch display with pixel density of 330ppi. It has resolution of 1136*640. Text is very good viewing the angles aren't bad either. Color saturation is 44% better than that of iPhone 4s. The iPhone 5 may be of 4 inch while most of the other smart phone has screen size larger than 4 inch. The iPhone 5 have capacitive touch screen with multi-touch.The amazing thing is that the phone can read all your five finger at a time. It may not really be usable but it sure is fun. Touches are very responsive and are almost always accurate. But if you have a big hand, you may have difficulty in typing in portrait mode. Apart from that, we had no problem with the display. We hopefully will get bigger screen in next generation of iPhone.Operating System ( iOS )
The iOS 6.x.x may not have homescreens and may not be as customizable as Android devices but the OS sure is fast and very responsive. We rarely get freezes or phone restarts. It is also not a power hungry operating system. The dual core processor for this phone is just more than enough. Application run smoothly on this device.
Camera
PHOTO
The iPhone 5's camera is one of the best 8MP camera seen in a smartphone. The back facing 8MP is said to take truly amazing photos.It has a f/2.4 aperture with 5 element lens. iPhone 5's camera is 40 % faster than that of iPhone 4s. Also, beside the camera, there is a LED flash light for capuring photos in dark areas. It is packed will all camera goodies like Touch focus, geo-tagging,Face detection, HDR ,etc. Although, you don't get a dedicated camera shutter button, the on-screen shutter button isn't that bad either. The camera also autofocus when required. The Camera takes snapshots very quickly. You won't miss the moments that you want to capture. The camera talkes 1.1 second to take a photo initially and 0.5 seconds.The camera interface is pretty much the same as before with a few options added on the viewfinder - a viewfinder grid, an HDR setting, pinching gesture for digital zoom and swipe gesture for quick gallery access.VIDEO (CAMCORDER)
The back facing camera shoots 1080p HD Videos. HD Videos looks stunning both on the phone and your HD TV. The videos are very impressive. 10 second HD(almost 31MB)showed us that the details are very good and the sound quality is good (not best) as well. The iPhone 5 records 1080p videos and the clips are stored in .MOV format with a 23Mbps bitrate. Videos are shot at a smooth 30fps most of the time but he framerate drops to 26fps when the lighting isn't good. Still, the videos turned out to be good. The drawback is that you can't change the recording resolution from 1080p to 720p with the default application. If you record a 1080p HD video for 10 minutes, it takes upto 1.8GB! Apart from that I claim that the iPhone 5 camcorder is the best out there in Smarphone industry.FRONT FACING CAMERA
Processor
The iPhone 5 uses the a quad core processor 1.0GHz Apple's A6 processor which pumps power to this beast. Unlike the earlier versions of the iPhone, the iPhone 5's processor is very efficient and consumes very little battery except while playing games or using heavy applications. The quad core processor is what makes this device very fast. You won't face any lags.The boot times have improved as well. Applications load up much faster. None of the games are choppy. All the Gameloft's HD games could be played without any glitches. Even the camera is a lot faster just because if this powerful processor.As iOS doesn't need much processing power, the quad-core processor is what we are very much satisfied with.Battery
The iPhone 5 may not have largest of the battery like the Motorola Razr Maxx. It is packed with Li-Po 1432 mAh battery. Although it may sound a bit little to you all, iOS itself doesn't consume a lot of battery, so we can say that this device gives us decent battery back up. Not too good nor too disappointing when it comes to battery life. If you are a hardcore gamer, the battery is going to be drained very quickly else it will last for a day under normal usage. We hear some bugs about the battery life of iPhone 5 but they are being patched by Apple itself. We had expected a larger battery but this isn't too disappointing either. The battery is quite good with 9.4 days of standby time and 40 hours of music playback.Here are the Pros and Cons of the iPhone 5:

Conclusion
The iPhone 5 surely is a great phone and may be the best. If you already have a iPhone 4's, then I wouldn't recommend you to purchase iPhone 5. But, in the other hand iPhone 5 is very user friendly and has got all you would want out of a phone. It's a all in one gadget. It's up to you to decide if you want this phone or not. If you like a user-friendly and easy to use mobile, you should obviously go for iPhone 5 but if you like to customize you phone and like cool party tricks, I would recommend you to go for Android Smartphones. Overall, it is a pretty good phone. It delivers all you would want out of a phone. I would rate it 9 out of 10 if I really had to!
