A year ago, we would have used the name of phablet to call any telephone number 5 inchs. Nowadays, however, we are aware that the market has evolved to the point that most of the terminals of high end They are that size and are no longer disproportionate in the eyes of the consumer. We bring you the selection of our 5 favorite terminals between 5 and 5,2 inches.
Unfortunately when talking about telephones in TabletZona, we set the limit of 5 inches onwards, so, devices that could easily enter this list such as the HTC One or Moto X they will be left out. Either way, somewhere we had to set the limit. Within the possibilities, this is our ranking:
5. LG G2
It is a terminal with a hardware superb, a large screen and a spectacular processor that, in addition, has incorporated original elements design such as the staggered battery or the buttons on the back cover. It has a Snapdragon 800 processor, a full HD panel of 5,2 inches and a camera with an optical stabilizer. However, the team has obvious weaknesses, to begin with, the software layer from LG is really unnecessary, too cluttered. The use of plastic in the back cover and the position of the buttons did not convince us either.
In fact, the LG G2 is not fulfilling the company's business plans, but it is also logical. The launch of the Optimus G with great fanfare in February / March he was able to generate a lot confusion among the public regarding the company's business plan. The arrival of Nexus 5, cheaper and with direct updates (another scourge of LG), it does not help either.
4.Xiaomi Mi-3
Xiaomi has big plans for the future and a hulking muscle to carry them out. To start with, this year they got the services of one of the gentlemen in the sector, Hugo Barra, which left Google to join the Chinese firm. Lately, every product that this company has put on sale has made headlines in the specialized media due to its huge sales figures in just minutes.
El Xiaomei I 3 is your best bet, a terminal with the benefits of the high-end of any top manufacturer: 5-inch full HD screen, Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 13 Mpx camera, etc. but at a mid-range price, about 300 euros for those who buy it in Spain. One of the few defects that we see in him are his excessive frames bottom and top, we assume to accommodate Sony's RS Exmor sensor.
3. Samsung Galaxy S4
Even if only for his enormous media and commercial relevance, the Galaxy S4 should rank high on this list. Despite the fact that Samsung is not entirely happy with sales, the Korean company has continued setting the pace of the market during these months and its terminal is still the referencia high-end on Android.
This year's Samsung terminal has improved remarkably his design with respect to S III. Despite continuing to count polycarbonate as the basic material for its construction, the screen has gained ground reaching the 5 inches. Your processor is a Snapdragon 600, according to the time of year in which it reached the market. The launch of a Google Edition It also gave the possibility of enjoying a pure Android to those who did not quite convince them TouchWiz.
2. Google Nexus 5
This phone has generated in Spain more traffic than iPhone 5S, is a team of cutting-edge benefits that also has the advantage of having direct and updated access to the best android version of the moment, with all the software features that Google has just launched, exclusively. Its price is another of the great attractions of the Nexus 5. It is sold for $350 in its 16GB version, and only the Xiaomi equipment is cheaper with similar specifications.
This terminal manufactured by LG has a screen of almost 5 inches, full HD, a 800 GHz Snapdragon 2,3 processor, 2.300 mAh battery and an 8Mpx camera with optical stabilizer. Maybe that's your weak point, the camera it is a bit below that of its rivals in resolution. The material (mainly plastic) of its rear casing has also dropped the level of the previous generation a bit.
1.Sony Xperia Z1
Few of the lists we've seen so far have really taken into account the Sony work during this 2013 with its high range. The Sony Xperia Z1However, it is a phone with brutal features: Full HD screen, Snapdragon 800, 3.000 mAh battery, 20MP camera, etc.
This team not only offers the best camera that we can find in a smartphone on the market, it also has a series of certificates that assure us a resistance exceptional to water, dust and shocks. In addition, its back cover is made of a much more elegant material than that of its rivals, fiberglass. For all these aspects, we have chosen it as our favorite 5-inch terminal in 2013 that is ending.
Which your winner?
I think this analysis is not credible because it is tendentious.
How can you say that Nexus 5 is better than LG G2?
Worse still .. the Galaxy S4 better than the LG G2 !!, I can understand that the Xperia Z1 is considered better (in my opinion very even)
