The iPhone 5 adds the most
wanted things in the iPhone 4S, The major change factors are:
1.
4G LTE
2.
A longer, larger screen
3.
Free turn-by-turn navigation by
Apple & Now Google maps with turn-by-turn navigation are great.
4.
Faster A6 processor
5.
Plus - its top-to-bottom redesign is
sharp, slim, and feather-light
6.
Headphone Jack moved to bottom of
the phone.
The major reason for me to upgrade
was the "4G LTE - (Long Term
Evolution)", So far after travelling to various countries and
consulting my friends in Middle East, I haven't found that there isn't one single
mobile operator through "Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait & Qatar)
who provides "Worth Data Plans" (data plans worth for the money you
spend). Every single mobile operator was looting their customers shamelessly
with a poor and exaggerated net work band width.
Even I was an victim of this data
plan, being looted for more than three years.
In approx. I have spent (900 KWD =
1,75,000 INR) for the past three years just for the data plan alone (I have not
included my voice calls here). I knew that I was robbed in full day light in
front of everyone and was helpless because most of them around me were robbed
the same way.
When I heard "4G-LTE"
connection is coming to Kuwait, I thought its a new tool and idea for mobile
operators to create a new "Rob-Plan".
Initially here in Kuwait "4G
-LTE" connection is provided by "ZAIN Telecom". Others are also
in the race but still on the way yet to provide 4G LTE connection for
their customers.
Even though being hesitant, I thought
of giving a try to Test the connection speed and package deals by ZAIN. It was
quite the same pricing as it was for dead slow 3G, hence thought of switching
plans if I would benefit by the speed of 4G LTE as its claimed to be 10 times
faster than the previous generation.
I tested the connection speed (Ping Test), down load speed,
upload speed from various server locations, HD Video online streaming, and
Internet Threatening Connectivity speeds, exchange server large file upload
/download at various intervals of time, date and location to get an average of
test results.
The results were amazing, in average I got speeds more than
20 MPBS, at odd times I got speeds up to 50 MBPS, I have the test results with
me.
Then finally made my mind to go for it, when considering my
data plans 4 G LTE was just 1 KD more, but there was a bitter point for my
purse here, I need to have an 4G LTE enabled mobile device or Internet hot-spot
device for me to use the 4 G Data Plan.
Hence I decided to go for i-Phone 5 with 4G LTE and found to be the most reliable handset at present in the market with 4G LTE connectivity. Apart from
4G LTE, I did not have any reason to upgrade my i-Phone 4S.
But right now after using my i-Phone 5 with 4G LTE
connection for more than a month, I
could say the i-Phone 5 is far better than 4S in addressing my internet speed issues. i-Phone 5 connectivity speed with ZAIN 4G LTE is real good so far. Most of
the time I get the speed between 20 MBPS to 50 MBPS when connected through 4G LTE. I have tested the
connection from different locations (Shuwaikh, Qurain, Faheel, Kuwait City,
Mangaf, Farwaniya, Air Port) and also at different times.
Now I think my money spent on data plan is worth it!
But I don’t know how long this speed would be valid with
ZAIN. But for now “ZAIN” has got the best data connection plan with high speed internet
in Kuwait.
For any details or clarification regarding the “4 G LTE”
connection with ZAIN you can mail me @ regan.gpr@gmail.com as a friend to get an idea before opting for 4G LTE, I am not a representative or marketer of ZAIN, I have just posted my point of view on my own experience.
