Nokia Lumia 720 and iPhone 5c differ primarily in price. The first device is almost twice as cheap as the second. Moreover, such a significant difference in price does not mean the same difference in the quality of the phone and its "stuffing".
Ideological choice
If you are using a computer running Windows 8 or 8.1, pay attention to a Nokia phone. For modern smartphones, the concept of an ecosystem plays an important role. Windows Phone in conjunction with Windows provides great opportunities for synchronization, backup and updating. The same goes for iPhones if you're a Mac user.
Specifications
Compare the processors iPhone 5c and Lumia 720. The first device has an Apple A6 processor, the second has a Qualcomm MSM8227 dual-core processor. The A6 processor is more efficient, but this advantage is not unambiguous. The point is that the iOS operating system is heavier than Windows Phone. Therefore, taking into account both factors - the type of processor and the operating system, we can talk about almost identical performance characteristics of phones.
When buying a new device, most users pay attention to the phone's appearance, dimensions, weight, and materials of manufacture. The dimensions of the phone from Apple are 59.2 × 124.4 × 8.97 millimeters, and the Nokia - 67.5 × 127.9 × 9 millimeters. At the same time, the iPhone is heavier - 132 grams versus 128 grams. Of course, this is not a very significant difference. However, according to the general user experience, the Lumia 720 is more compact and more secure in the hand.
Both smartphones have high quality and bright displays. So, the iPhone 5c display has a diagonal of four inches, and the resolution is 640 × 1136 pixels. The Nokia device has a display with a diagonal of 4, 3 inches and a resolution of 480 × 800. IPhone images are of higher quality, so choose this phone if you like to watch videos and photos on the screen.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that phones differ slightly in their batteries, and, consequently, in the operating time. The battery capacity of the iPhone 5c is 1510 mAh. The Nokia Lumia 720 has this figure of 2000 mAh. Again, this advantage is not straightforward. The iOS operating system is very well optimized, and the iPhone is likely to last longer on a single charge than a Nokia device with a larger battery.
Applications
Comparing Apple and Microsoft's app stores, we must admit that the former provides a significantly larger selection of programs. Of course, you can find all common applications for Windows Phone, but for connoisseurs of high-quality games, utilities and electronic assistants, the rich Apple Store is more suitable.
