iPhone 5S Deals

If you are looking for a phone that will set you back by a good amount but at the epitome of ultra-premium smartphones available in market today, look no further than the iPhone 5S. It has one of the best looking design aesthetics ever on a mobile device and comes packed with features that are going to wow all kinds of users.

Design and Display

The sheer sight of the 5S is a treat. The aluminium and glass design and a sapphire crystal on the home button make the device look rich and premium beyond words. At 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6mm and 112 grams it’s light and easy to hold. Although it feels as light as paper in your hands, the 5S is nowhere near tacky or cheap. It may not look different from the iPhone 5 or 4S for that matter which have become common across generations, yet it holds its own when it comes to build quality. Of course, at the core it remains a very delicate phone prone to chips and scratches so you should factor in a cover even before you buy the device as just a few pushes and shoves in the wrong places will leave you with a war hero scarred for life rather than a sleek phone.

The Home button is where all the action is. It comes with a rounded silver ring and a fingerprint scanner which suddenly pushes the 5S to new levels altogether. The dual LED flash also deviates from the design element of its predecessors. The 5S is available in more colours now including champagne and space grey apart from the regular options.

The phone houses a 4 inch screen which shows up crystal clear images with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels. At 326 dots per inch screen quality is something that Apple can never go wrong with. HD movies and camera snaps look stunning and the bezel around the screen provides a sturdy look to the phone.

Powerhouse Inside

The A7 chip inside the 5S is a 64bit processor bound to provide the best possible performance a top notch smartphone can churn out. In a sense, the 5S shows that Apple is ready for the next generation of smartphones to come out in the near future with specs that can easily accommodate any apps that might be hogging all the power of the device. Lag times are obviously not a worry for you if you own the 5S. The intelligent 5S comes not just with an A7 processor but also with a M7 processor which takes up some of the more specific tasks you might want the phone to do for you including the use of the accelerometer, compass or gyroscope for example.

Features

With iOS 7 the user interface moves to an all new level with subtle yet refreshing changes from its earlier versions. Apple has strived to provide the most simple and intuitive interface for you and legacy continues with the new operating system as well. Everything on the 5S is driven by a single touch function whether it’s a photo you want to click or app you want to use or even accessing the device. This is where the phone takes technology to an all new high with the introduction of Touch ID, a revolution of sorts in the mobile handset segment. The fact that you can now use your finger to open up the device through the Home button is amazing in itself but what makes the feature even more useful is its ability to substitute your iTunes password for easy access and downloads. It does not get uploaded anywhere and only interacts directly with the chipset in the phone so you will not have to worry about security with Touch ID. And if you think someone will be chopping off your fingers to steal your phone then well, you really need to stop worrying because the capacitive touch requires a live finger to work.

Camera

5S comes loaded with a 8 megapixels camera with a sapphire crystal lens cover a slew of features that include all the basic camera features including face recognition, geo-tagging, panorama, autofocus and many more. The popularity of FaceTime is all thanks to the front camera on the iPhone and 5S comes packed with a 1.2 megapixels front camera with a well thought of backside illumination sensor and 720p video recording capacity.

Battery

The built lithium ion battery on the 5S will keep the phone running for 10 hours of talk time on 3G and up to 250 hours on standby. While it includes all possible connectivity options, the 5S still misses NFC which is available on most of its competition. Control Center allows for easy access to connectivity options including Wi-Fi and the very productive Bluetooth 4.0 with just a swipe of your finger. The phone is compatible with iTunes 11 for all transfers and media syncing between your handset and computer. The iPhone 5S is at the pinnacle of mobile technology and shows off a design that is evergreen and absolutely stunning. If your pocket allows it, the 5S wins hands down when compared to other handsets in the same bracket.
