iOS 6 VS Android 4.0 ICS Vs Microsoft Windows Phone 8

Each of these devices come with a host of new and some not-so-new designs and innovations. So whether you want a phone that is 'designed for humans' or 'the biggest thing to happen to it since itself?!' or you just simply want to 'connect to people', here's a look at the features of these extremely capable knights, and how they stack up against each other.

Presenting iPhone 5, Apart from minor changes in the design elements from the 4S, the iPhone 5 boasts of a slimmer waistline and has grown taller too. The width however remains the same, which might not be to the liking of everyone out there. It fits snuggly in your hand, and the size is just right for one-handed use. It now comes with a brushed metal back, which adds to the luxury feel of the phone. The earphone slot sits pretty at the bottom of the phone, just by the side of the stereo loudspeakers. In its new form, the iPhone has lost some serious weight and now weighs in at a mere 112 g.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has the same rounded corners and bezel as most of the phones of the Galaxy family. It is a pretty sizable phone, with a screen size of 4.8 inches. Its plastic body might not add to the overall appeal of the phone, especially in certain colors, but it does help keep the weight of the device down to a modest 133 g. The back of the phone sports a textured finish, which helps to get a good grip on this otherwise huge device. Although the phone isn't small by any stretch of imagination, it does not venture into the realm of the 'tabs', and is surprisingly easy to handle. It however isn't the most comfortable phone when it comes to one-handed use, unless of course you are blessed with exceptional large hands.

The Nokia Lumia 920 flaunts the same polycarbonate unibody design of its predecessor, the Lumia 800. The almost edge to edge screen occupies most of the front of the phone. As a result there's very little bezel around the phone, which helps maintain the phone's slim profile. The phone weighs in at a hefty 185 g because of the extensive use of polycarbonate. The phone feels solid in the hand and is surprisingly easy to maneuver around with one hand. The back of the phone is pretty bare other than for the camera which sits towards the center, encased in a special scratch-resistant ceramic plate with the company logo on it. The bright and vibrant colors of the phone really make it stand out.
