Design
The Nokia Lumia 920 follows a similar design trend seen on the company's previous Lumia phones like the Lumia 900 and the Lumia 800. It's constructed from a single piece polycarbonate which is coloured all the way through in the manufacturing process, so any scratches to the surface won't be too noticeable.
The colours on offer (particularly yellow, red, white and grey) are certainly bold and refreshing among a sea of boring, black or white slabs. However, the Lumia 920 is 10.7mm thick and weighs 185g, so it's far from the thinnest or lightest smartphone on the market. It doesn't compare favourably in girth or weight against the iPhone 5 or even the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X. Users who long for a thin and light phone are likely to be left a little disappointed.
The Lumia 920's design is a far different picture to the iPhone 5. Its feather light 112g weight is one of the best features of the device and Apple certainly deserves a huge amount of credit for managing to make the phone significantly lighter than its predecessor while increasing its overall footprint. At just 7.6mm, the iPhone 5 is also one of the thinnest smartphones on the market.
Display
If you're balancing size and weight with screen size, then the Lumia 920 immediately begins to look more appealing next to the iPhone 5. For starters it is larger than the iPhone 5 (4.5in compared to 4in) and it has a pixel density of 332ppi, slightly higher than the iPhone 5's 326ppi. In fact, the Lumia 920 has one of the highest pixel density ratings on the market, bettering most current flagship smartphones.
That pixel density rating comes from a resolution of 1280x768. Previous Lumia devices were hamstrung by Microsoft's maximum allowed resolution of 800x480, so this is a significant upgrade if you're coming from an older Windows Phone. A unique feature is

    Apple is continually on the cutting edge of technological advances in the cellular phone industry with better innovations to their products. The iPhone 5S® is the most recent technological advancement to the iPhone® with an improved camera, a next-gen CPU and motion tracking chip, and fingerprint sensors. Major drawbacks are that it still has the four inch screen like the original iPhones®, the fingerprint sensor only works with Apple applications at this time, the 64 bit A7 processor and the M7 motion-tracking chips do not have any “killer apps” yet, and the iOS 7 may boggle the minds of longtime iPhone users; the iPhone 5S is by far the fastest and most technologically advanced of the Apple SmartPhones® to date.

    The IPhone 5 is a waste of money but it is so popular, so why does everyone want to have it. I believe that this phone is not as good as everyone has been hyping it up to be. The IPhone 5 sold over 5 million phones three days after its release. In addition, the (IPhone 5 is available right now in the U.S. and 30 other countries and more than 100 countries by the end of the year) Apple reported. The IPhone 5 comes in 3 different models 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and also is available in white, black, or silver. Apple stock reached its sixth highest record in the last seven days from the release date. If you can’t afford the new IPhone or don’t want it right now the IPhone 4 is available for free with 2 year contracts at multiple providers. I am one of those people that don’t need to have the newest hottest items. Plus I don’t like an apple product the only thing that I own from apple is an IPod and that’s it. I owned an IPhone and I wasn’t that impressed there were something’s I liked but not many for me to spend that much money on it.…

    Speaking of the back, it's a mostly plastic affair but again you might well be fooled into thinking otherwise. Though the G3’s body is technically 80% polycarbonate, the 20% of metal mixed in with it gives it a premium look, even if it can't quite match the HTC One (M8)’s premium feel. We'd certainly choose it over the Galaxy S5's plaster-like back, and while the Sony Xperia Z2's…

    The Samsung Galaxy S4 is bigger in size, has a resolution advantage and better contrast.The iphone’s 4-inch LCD is very small compared to the S4’s 5-inch Super AMOLED display. The S4 would make things easier to read without the need to zoom in. In addition, watching movies and video clips are more immersive on the S4. The S4 is also better than the iPhone 5s in terms of resolution, offering 1920 x 1080 pixels or 441 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5s offers a fairly sharp picture at 1136 x 640 pixels, the S4 with 326 pixels per inch.The thing that is better than the S4 when it comes to display is the brightness. When viewed outdoors, the S4’s display was harder to read, especially in direct sunlight. The iPhone 5′s image was brighter with a cooler color cast. Even though the iPhone 5s’ screen is easier to read outdoors, the Galaxy S4’s display wins because of its size and resolution advantage, as well as its better contrast.…

    The design plays a huge role in cell phones, it has to grasp the buyers attention and make them want the product just by looking at it or by watching someone use it. The iPhone 5s does this really well, Apple engineers and designers managed to compress the technologies they made inside a space that’s a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and 112 grams light. This redesign resulted in an incredibly thin, impressively light, extraordinarily powerful smartphone. The engineering challenge was significant, but they succeeded in adding more to it without making iPhone 5s bigger or heavier. The iPhone began with something perfectly simple, your finger. And now Apple took touch to the next possible place with Touch ID, the fingerprint identity sensor. Your fingerprint is the perfect password, you always have it with you and no one can ever guess what it is. But beyond that, it just made sense that your phone should recognize you. It should learn you, not require you to memorize and enter passwords in order to use it. Apple also put the sensor in the best place possible, where you most commonly rest your thumb, on the Home button. It is amazing how Apple increased the speed of the iPhone 5s without decreasing the battery life, in fact, they increased the battery life. This is all true because Apple engineered a new processing chip. The A7 chip is designed around 64-bit architecture, which is a first for…

    The thin, sleek design of the iPhone 6 make it convenient to use at home and on the go. The phone is 6.9 mm. wide with the screen being 4.7 in. long. The iPhone 4S is much shorter and wider when compared to the iPhone 6. The size and shape are one of the main exterior components that help aid is easier capability. The distinguished camera quality is an exciting improvement to the overall hardware of the device. The aperture at f/2.2 and the pixels at 1.5 make the lens sharper and more focal than ever before. The iPhone 4S, though not severely lacking in camera quality, is clearly not as professional as the iPhone 6. The new time-lapse and slo-mo features on the video display create even more fun and engaging opportunities as well. The enormous memory storage capability the iPhone 6 is able to generate is beneficial to her cause because, since she is an “Honor Roll” student, she is in need of various “educational” and organizational apps that help her with classwork/homework, as well as provide sufficient photo and music storage. The iPhone 6 holds up to 128GB for a low price of $399, along with…

    One major similarity between the iPhone and Android phones is their shape. For example, all models of the iPhone have been similar in shape, which can be noted in their rectangular shape and rounded corners. This exact shape can also be seen in many of the Android phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy and HTC Evo. iPhones and Android phones have also been noted for their large touch screens occupying the majority of the front space of the phone, and their job in navigation in place of traditional buttons seen on non-smart phones. Though the trend of this rectangular shape, rounded corners, and large screen has lead to many disputes regarding who had originally designed the structure, manufacturers continue to use this as the basic structure for their smart phones.…

    COMPETITIVE RIVALRY: - Competitors were quickly catching up with Nokia’s Symbian platform. As the Symbian OS was not optimized for touchscreen devices, users were turning to the Android, Blackberry OS, and Apple’s iOS.
