Apple iPhone 5 display compared to Nokia Lumia 920, has its “Most advanced” title taken away

Back at the Apple iPhone 5 announcement event, Phil Schiller claimed that the new iOS flagship has the world’s most advanced display yet. It appears, however, that this might not be entirely true, as one Nokia fan is keen to point out. He did a spec-by-spec comparison of the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920 and the latest Apple smartphone didn’t really manage to impress there.

The PureMotion HD+ screen on the Nokia Lumia 920 packs some impressive technology and it’s hard to argue with the facts listed in the following slides.

This is not the first case of the Apple’s iPhone 5 announcement event writing checks that the smartphone cannot cash, either. You might remember the slimmest smartphone claim, which also turned out to be inaccurate.

Apple says iPhone 5 is the thinnest smartphone in the world, turns out it isn’t

Apple’s Phil Schiller called the new iPhone 5 “world’s thinnest smartphone”, but many makers have made that claim for many phones. It happens often and sometimes it’s not true. So, how does the new iPhone stack up against the competition.

We’ve prepared a table with every “world’s thinnest” phone we could dig up plus various high-end phones that are competing with Apple’s latest flagship.

Phone	Thickness	Weight	Availability
Apple iPhone 4S	9.3mm	140g	Yes
Apple iPhone 5	7.6mm	112g	In a week
Samsung Galaxy S III	8.6mm	133g	Yes
HTC One X	8.9mm	130g	Yes
HTC One S	7.8mm	120g	Yes
Samsung Ativ S	8.7mm	135g	Soon
Nokia Lumia 920	10.7mm	185g	Soon
Nokia Lumia 820	9.9mm	160g	Soon
Motorola RAZR	7.1mm*	127g	Yes
Motorola RAZR HD	8.4mm*	146g	Soon
Motorola RAZR M	8.3mm*	126g	Soon
Huawei Ascend P1s	6.7mm	130g	Soon
Panasonic Eluga DL1	7.8mm	103g	Yes
Oppo Finder	6.7mm	125g	Soon
Fujitsu Arrows F-07D	6.7mm	105g	Yes
NEC Medias N-04C	7.7mm	105g	Yes

* At the thinnest part

So, no the iPhone 5 isn’t the thinnest smartphone in the world. As far as currently available devices go, the Fujitsu Arrows F-07D takes that title. Sure, it’s not an easy phone to get hold of, but it exists.

And there are at least a couple of other phones that will soon be available and are thinner than the iPhone 5. Note that I’m not counting the Motorola RAZR because the top part of the phone is much thicker than the claimed 7.1mm (even though the part where you actually hold the phone is really that slim).
