Apple iPhone 5s vs. LG G2 vs. Nokia Lumia 1020: War of the worlds

8 October 2013
You know what they say – three is a crowd. On a second thought though, no one here’s got romance on their mind. The three-horse race has had its highs and lows, but it’s the playoffs and we got a front-row seat. Each phone here will look...

    AnonD-48119, 08 Oct 2013impressively redesigned iOS 7? really now?Have u seen iOS7 on the iPad? It shines brightest on the iPad than on the tiny screen of the iPhone. It's the best and most beautiful user interface I've ever seen on any smartphone, tablet and computer.

      page 2 last sentence "The lack of any controls on the front to spoil the looks also means that while not as pretty as the other two, the G2 is certainly not a smartphone you'd mind being seen in public with."

        Lumia 1020 for the camera.
        iPhone 5S for the ecosystem.
        LG G2 for the features.

        Each of them has their advantages (and disadvantages) over each other. No phone is perfect. They're targeted at different people with varying needs. At it's also a battle of your preferred OS. I would personally choose the iPhone 5S, though. It's the most well-rounded of all current smartphones.

          bitten apple`s formula is simple: half the pixels on a display can run the same fps with half processor(dual core L.O.L) as a real Full H.D. phone of Samsung or LG ...what a joke... or not if you have half brain ...

              This was pretty pointless, except for the camera part. I understand a new review is on the way, which is for camera only and adds the Z1, One and Note 3 to the mix. Thats gonna be a lot more interesting, hurry up and publish it already guys.

              As usual with this kinda vs reviews the 1020 fails big on color saturation, its too bad when the quality isnt even suitable for sharing on social sites without editing prior to upload, the cartooniness is off the scale.

                              Wouldn't the Note 3 have been a better candidate for Android than the LG G2? It outclasses it in almost every way.

                                      stronly disagree with the final words LG G2 as best android as it is Xperia Z1, which was not included in the competition i do not know why? surely camera part of android side remained no 2 but,hey remember 13MP camera unit in G2 is from Sony, if it is competing at no 2, so why the hell Gsmarena did nt include one with 20 MP? and the same processor as G2?

Its not that it's bad or something, just overprice and I can buy a Note III and a S3 in a price of iPhone 5S 64GB. I'll go with the Lumia 1020 as my preference is more towards the camera.

                                        I am also going to buy a Note III but it will be shipped from Europe, Snapdragon. Good thing, I have am having more than 90% of cash for the Lumia 1020 from my cousin haha.
