The iPhone 5S has been officially unveiled, as well as the iPhone 5C. The latter was supposed to be cheap. But it has not been like that, it is only 100 euros cheaper than the flagship, which leaves a price of 600 euros. The iPhone 5S is priced at 700 euros. How many Android can we buy with that?
We will start by talking about the iPhone 5S, the company's new flagship, the most expensive of all. Its cheapest price is 700 euros in Europe. And we would be buying the version with 16 GB memory. Thus, we have a smartphone with a four-inch Retina screen, a processor that is of a high level, and that has iOS 7 and a fingerprint detector. Is it better to buy this, or are there better buys for the same price?
Samsung Galaxy S4 + Samsung Galaxy Gear: The Samsung Galaxy Gear will be available for a price of 300 euros. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is currently priced at 450 euros in some stores. Bear in mind that the iPhone 5S will not be on sale in Spain until December, which means that the Galaxy Gear will already be on the market for a few months, and will have lowered its price. It is possible that for 650 euros we can already get this pack in December. Now we only have to analyze if we want a smartphone with a four-inch screen, or if we prefer a high-level smartphone, with a five-inch screen, and also a smart watch that is connected to it. With this approach, I would have no doubt.
Sony Xperia Z + Sony SmartWatch 2: The same situation we find when talking about the Sony SmartWatch 2. This smart watch will have a price in December of about 200 euros. The Sony Xperia Z can be obtained for a price of about 480 euros. Thus, in the end what we find is that we can buy the pack for about 680 euros. Without a doubt, it is another great option if we do not like Samsung devices and prefer the Japanese brand.
New Nexus 7 + Xperia Z / Galaxy S4: Let's now replace the smartwatch with the tablet. If we don't have a tablet, the Nexus 7 can be a great candidate. It has a high-quality processor, with a 2 GB RAM memory, and is specially optimized for video games. In addition, we would take a high-level smartphone. Its total price would be around 700 euros, depending on the chosen smartphone.
Three Nexus 7Suppose you already have a high-end smartphone that you don't want to change. Or that you have a Galaxy S3 that works well and you don't want to change. For the price of an iPhone 5S you can buy three Nexus 7, and you would still have money to buy applications. Three tablets for the whole family. Even the child could take it to school.
But what about the iPhone 5C case? We are in the same situation. Are you one of those who doubted whether to buy a Nexus 4?
Three Nexus 4: For the price of an iPhone 5C you could have bought three Nexus 4. And worst of all is that in my opinion, and that of many users, the Nexus 4 is a higher quality smartphone than the iPhone 5C. That is really worrisome for those of Cupertino. It is no longer that their smartphones are very expensive, it is that they are worse than the Android launched last year. By the way, you can no longer buy the Nexus 4 for 200 euros, they are sold out.
Nexus 7 + Nexus 10: Approximately, for the price of an iPhone 5C we can buy a new Nexus 7, and a Nexus 10. We would have a high-end tablet and a seven-inch tablet. And all spending just 30 euros more.
Mac Mini: Yes folks, a Mac Mini. Surprising that we put it here. But it is that Apple's own small desktop computer costs roughly what an iPhone 5C. Specifically, it is 50 euros more expensive. The user experience of Mac OS X is very good. And honestly, it is not worth spending 600 euros on an iPhone 5C when you can keep your smartphone and buy a Mac Mini.
Why buy an iPhone?
One wonders why buy an iPhone. It is sure that it is a smartphone that works very well, that it has an operating system that is great, and that in the end, its design is very beautiful. But can we find pretty designs for less money? Can we find technical specifications of that level for less money? Can we invest the money from an iPhone in several smartphones or tablets?
I want a Nexus 4…. they sold out right away… 🙁 and it doesn't look like they'll be replenished.
The high price of the new iphone is impressive compared to the cellular high-end with android and windows phone, it will be necessary to evaluate the performance of the new device.
By comparing terminals with the same memory (32GB), with the iPhone that was supposed to be "low cost" you can buy 3 bq Aquaris 66.
Common sense, gentlemen. It happens that there are people with more money than head.
Well, with that high price I would buy a nexus, they are better and cheaper than that iphone 5c
You could say the same or more with the note 3
I had a s4, a lg optimus g, xperia s, I tried several until I bought a used iPhone 4, since then I understood iPhone can be very expensive, very expensive, but it does not compare to the crap of Android
Basically I find high-end terminals quite similar in terms of technology, some stand out in some things and others in others.
I would not dare to say that one is better than another. Now if you want to know which is the best in price it is easy the cheapest.
There is one thing that if it is true that the android system is free and the ios is not, with which when buying an apple phone you are paying the terminal + its strict that if solid operating system and when you buy sony or sansung or nexus you pay the terminal .
In the end it is a matter of taste. For me they are all great mobiles. and they must co-exist so to say that one better than the other is nonsense like a house. This goes for the fansboys of the brands
