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...

                  finally love to see the LG g2 stealing the crown from galaxy S4....
                  lg came second last year due to lack of 4.1 update
                  for the first time galaxy 'Sx' flagship has been dethroned in the same year..


                  LG deserves this one

                    for anyone who is saying that apps on windows phone is not as good , will maybe but still i can do whatever your android phone can .
                    gaming is getting better and the quality of apps is getting better .
                    i don't see that apps is a problem on windows phone anymore .

                      As the review said we need more updates from MS and WP will get much better .
                      but anyway i think Nokia and windows phone are back on the game again even if they didn't win it all , but still they're back in the competition
                      i loved the nokia , ofcourse apple and lg have great devices . but for me i would go for WP because i got sick of the androids and apples .

                            I dont agree on video recording test results. iPhone 5s no OIS, and bad audio, and its winner. WTF? Lumia 1020 has best OIS, best audio and more pixels, which means more details. What you want more for a video?

                              You cant compare them in benchmarks because they dont use same os and a7 is no match for s800 in the same os

Nice big screen too look at all day. Now I work in a real job, I need something light, lasts whole day and is easy to use. My job is too complex to muck around on a phone all day.

                                      The iphone is the mediocre one in this hi-end phones comparison. No one can argue with the camera of the 1020 nor with the hardware specs and the features of the G2. But the real overall winner that best them all, phones, tablets or phablets alike is undoubtedly, the Galaxy Note 3. The Note 3 IS a phone, so it still fits perfectly in this comparison, it is also a mini tablet that's been allowing millions and millions of people to rest their tablets more often than not. So yes, that is the real conclusion, the Note 3 is the king of all. End of discussion.

                                        [deleted post]Dude, iphone is iphone with or without 1080p or 720p. But its not the same with windows.

                                        "basically this author is saying the only reason why the lumia 1020 is good is because of the camera, "

                                        What he is stating its cent% true. Why would one pay $990 to buy a 1020?? cause of OS? NO. Cause of features? No. Cause of camera? Yes.

                                        And sure wp lacks apps and games. You may have big apps, but its the small apps which are missing.
