Got to choose between 1020 and iphone 5s - Need help

[markyjns]

Just got the 1020 to replace my iPhone 5, the 1020 feels premium much more so than the iPhone. I just wanted to add something though in relation to your original post.

I also have a SONOS set up and whilst there is no official app yet there is the third party app PHONOS, not as good as the official app on iOS but you may like to check it out.

Swapped my 1020 for a 5s because of it's yellow photo tint and it's size.
The 5s camera in terms of colour is basically "WYSIWYG".
I can operate the 5s with 1 hand/1 finger only.
My 1020 "died" 2 times out of nothing - soft reset brought it back to life.
Seems the automatic white balance and overall WP8-software still is miles behind IOS5/6/7.

In terms of size the 5/5s/5c are pretty much perfect. The Nokia N9 / L800 are better, but they are out of the question at this point.

The yellow thing.. they will fix that with a software update, but for now its pretty bad, especially when using the xenon

testing by this guy shows the iphone has the yellow tint in low light.

white balance is poor among most phone cams anyway, but i like that the WB can be adjusted on the fly on 1020.

Here are some shots that might help you decide. This is the 1020 of course. Nothing else comes close.

I have a 920 and LG g2 and omg the LG g2 low light photos are horrific. ISO 2000 , blurry just terrible. My 920 runs circles around it. I was at a wedding last night and I had my g2,920 and my bro in law had his HTC one. The g2 takes amazing daylight photos the HTC took great photos also and nice flash shots but when it came to low light 920 bested them
