vuvuzela Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 [color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] Google, Apple, and Microsoft have all now officially announced their flagship handsets and mobile-OS updates for the year. It’s the new [url="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/10/google-announces-nexus-4-phone-nexus-10-tablet-nexus-7-updates/"]Nexus 4 phone and 4.2 Jelly Bean[/url] for Android; the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 for Apple; and the [url="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/10/liveblog-microsoft-rolls-out-windows-phone-8/"]Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC 8X both running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8[/url].[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] Now that we’ve got all the facts, how do these premier handsets measure up against one another?[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] From a specs standpoint, it’s a close race. Although Apple upped the screen size of its iPhone to 4 inches, Android and Windows Phone tend towards larger 4.5-inch displays. However, they’re all pixel-packed, high-resolution displays.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] If phone weight is a concern, the iPhone 5 is the lightest of the bunch by half an ounce. It’s also the thinnest.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] All four of these phones feature 8-plus-megapixel rear-facing cameras, the standard among top handsets these days. Their front-facing video-chat cameras range from 1 to 2 megapixels.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] The LG Nexus 4 and Nokia Lumia 920 lead the pack when it comes to adopting new technologies. Both feature NFC and wireless charging. As for connectivity, all except the Nexus 4 include 4G LTE, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a Nexus 4 model with LTE in the near future.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] Check out the chart below for a full spec-by-spec comparison of these four handsets.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif] [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/16rz1l.jpg[/img][/font][/color]
