The Sony Xperia Z1 and Apple iPhone 5s: A Comparative Analysis

Now that we've seen the experience firsthand, it's really interesting to see the difference in the low-light images between these two devices side-by-side comparisons will tell us more. The Sun experience that one looks very impressive here in terms of video. The Sony Xperia Z1 films 1080p at 30 frames per second from the rear-facing camera, which is similar to the iPhone 5s. However, the iPhone 5s also has 720p at 120 frames per second, which will be really great for slow-motion videos. Additionally, both devices offer HDR video, which will provide a nice dynamic range on videos as well as images.

The front-facing cameras are another aspect to consider. The Sony Xperia Z1 has a 2-megapixel front-facing camera with 1080p HD resolution, while the iPhone 5s still only has a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera with 720p resolution. This is a disappointment for me, as I would have liked to see 1080p from the front-facing camera, which is consistent with most Android flagships. However, if you do want to edit footage together, this may not be a significant issue.

In terms of operating systems, the Sony Xperia Z1 has Android 4.2.2 out of the box, while the iPhone 5s comes with iOS out of the box. This means that the iPhone 5s will have some unique features and advantages, such as Touch ID, a fingerprint scanner on the home button, which allows for unlocking the device and making app purchases using your fingerprint.

The Sony Xperia Z1 has partnered with several companies to offer a range of innovative features. For example, you can take pictures of things like books or buildings and pull up information directly on your screen. You can also stream live videos from your smartphone to platforms like Facebook, where viewers can comment in real-time. This is a unique feature that sets the Sony Xperia Z1 apart from other devices.

The iPhone 5s has another unique feature: Touch ID. The fingerprint scanner allows for unlocking the device and making app purchases using your fingerprint. While this technology may seem familiar, it's still relatively new to the market, and it's an exciting development in smartphone security.

In terms of battery life, the Sony Xperia Z1 has a 3000 milliamp battery, while the iPhone 5s has a 1440 milliamp battery. This means that the Sony Xperia Z1 will have more usage time before needing to be recharged.

Finally, looking at price, the base models of both devices are similar in terms of cost. The Sony Xperia Z1 starts at £550-£600 in the UK and $199 on a two-year contract in the US. The iPhone 5s also starts at £549 in the UK and $199 on a two-year contract in the US.

The choice between these two devices ultimately comes down to personal preference. The Sony Xperia Z1 has a larger screen, a more powerful camera, and innovative features like live social streaming and info now. However, it's also slightly bulkier than the iPhone 5s. On the other hand, the iPhone 5s is compact and easy to use with one hand, but lacks some of the features offered by the Sony Xperia Z1.

If you're in the market for a new smartphone, these are certainly two options worth considering. Both devices have their strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to you to decide which one will meet your needs.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up YouTube's a fear on super-safe TV and in this video I'm gonna be comparing these specs of the iPhone 5s to the Sony Xperia z1 now both of these are the flagships of their manufacturers but how do they compare what's different while I do hit that thumbs up button and let's find out in this head-to-head spec comparison so let's start off initially with the dimensions the sony xperia everyone is quite a bit larger twenty point two millimeters in terms of height 15 point four millimeters in terms of width and almost sony millimeter thicker so it is a larger device now part of the reason for that is because it's got a larger screen it's got a 5-inch screen versus the four inch screen on the iPhone 5s so generally speaking the 5s is gonna be better for one-handed usage and a little bit more compact in terms of the resolution at the experience that one does come with a full HD 1080p screen so you've got 1920 by 1080 441 pixels per inch so very high pixel density here now the iPhone 5s has the same resolution as the iPhone 5 1 1 3 6 by 640 so less than a 720p HD 326 PPI so generally speaking the z1 is going to be that much better for HD videos at the larger screen as well with that resolution and that PPI now with the iPhone that they wanted to keep the apps consistent so developers wouldn't have to update all of the apps but I don't think that's an excuse I do think that they could have done with a better PPI and a HD screen 720p at least especially seeing how many 1080p screens we've got on the Android side now the Xperia z1 is quite a bit heavier than the iPhone 5s 58 grams heavier so quite a bit of weight on there but that does come down to the build the iPhone 5s has that the aluminium unibody built which is available now in the black the silver as well as the co versions now something unique about the build on the Xperia z1 is it's an aluminium frame with a glass on front and back shatterproof glass on the front and back but it is IP 58 certified of water and dust resistant so that's something very very unique for the sony line of smartphones here that you're going to be able to drop it in water take videos and the water and things like that as well and you're not gonna have to worry about you know getting some water or something which will be a problem with all of you the devices out there and the Zed one is available in the black dy and the purple versions now looking at the processes the Xperia z1 comes with the Snapdragon 800 2.2 gigahertz quad-core processor so quite a nice process of one of the highest out there at the moment now they've not been specific in terms of the cause or the clock speed on the iPhone 5s but you've got the a7 chip which is a 64-bit chip and we will have to see this side by side in terms of the performance to really determine what the differences are you've got two gigabytes of RAM on the Xperia z1 on the iPhone 5s they've not been specific I believe it is one gigabytes of RAM and again performance we'll have to see side-by-side different versions available you've got a 16 32 and 64 gigabyte versions on the iPhone 5s the expiry is that one you've only got the 16gb version but it is expandable microSD up to 64 gigabytes so you do have the option of expanding on here that's quite nice to see considering that this is a waterproof phone so the fact that you can expand storage on here is quite nice to see now the cameras this is probably the most interesting aspects of both of these devices here now the iPhone 5s has the same resolution as the iPhone 5 which is a megapixels but the pixels are large it got one point five microns or compared to the one point three that you had on the iPhone 5 so it is supposed to be doing a better in low light but if you compare that to the experience that one the experience that one has the same sensor size as some of the compacts out there which is absolutely awesome to see that in a smartphone of this size as well really really impressed with this 20.7 megapixels and also because of that larger sensor low-light performance will it be great so now it'd be really really interesting to see the difference in the low-light images between these two so side-by-side comparisons will tell us more but the Sun experience that one looking very very impressive here terms of video the Sony Xperia said it kind of film 1080p at 30 frames a second from the rear-facing camera the same as at the iPhone of 5s but the iPhone 5s also has 720p 120 frames a second which is going to be really really great for slow motion its own experience everyone also offers HDR video so that's going to be really nice a for your dynamic range on your videos as well as images in terms of the front-facing cameras the sony xperia everyone does have a 2 megapixel front facing camera with a 1080p HD as well the iPhone 5s you've still only got the 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera which is only 720p this is a disappointment for me I would've liked to have seen at 1080p which pretty much all the other flagships are offering on the Android side of 1080p from the front-facing camera it's consistent with the rear facing camera if you do want to edit footage together but that's a disappointment for me on the iPhone 5s in terms of the operating systems you've got Android it's only been 4.2.2 on the Sony Xperia z1 you've got I Oh s7 out of the box honor the iPhone 5s now both of these have their advantages and disadvantages but talking about some of the key features some of the unique features that these devices offer the experience that one you've got info I now Sony have partnered with a lots of different companies out there so you can take pictures of things like books or you know buildings and things it's gonna pull up information directly on your screen and you're gonna be able to you know maybe buy a book from there on Amazon and things like that so that's quite interesting to see you've also got live social streaming so you can stream a video live from your smartphone to things like Facebook and people can comment on them and there will be coming up a real time so that's quite unique the iPhone 5s also has a very unique feature which is touch ID the fingerprint scanner on the home button so you can unlock your device I just by touching it and you can also make app purchases and things using your fingerprint rather than having to enter a password all the time so that's quite unique and something different that we've not seen now in terms of the batteries the Sony Xperia z1 has a 3000 milliamp battery whereas the iPhone 5s has a 1440 milliamp battery so you've got more than double the capacity on the experience everyone yes it's a larger screen and you are going to be pushing out more pixels but more than a double the capacity does indicate that it will be giving you more usage finally looking at price the base of versions these 16 gigabyte versions the Xperia said one between 550 to 600 pounds here in the UK offline and I think about $199 on a two-year contract in the US and it's gonna be available end of September the iPhone 5s the 16gb version 549 pounds here in the UK $199 on a two-year contract in the US so similar is pricing on both of these devices that the iPhone 5s is going to be available from the 20th of September so those were the key differences between these two devices at the iPhone 5s definitely a lot more compact and easier for one-handed usage but at the expense of the larger size this own experience that one does have a much larger screen and it's also got the water and dust resistant feature especially that camera 20.7 megapixels and it's the same size as compact cameras out there so that's very very interesting to see and
