Apple iPhone 5S coming to Jamaica on LIME but not everyone wants it - Comparison of the Top 5 Android Alternatives to the Apple iPhone 5s for Jamaicans wanting a smartphone

The Golden Boot Apple iPhone 5S is now a serious seller in the US of A based on the initial sales figures as stated in my blog article entitled “Apple iPhone 5S and Apple iPhone 5C sold 9 million units over the Weekend - Apple beats Wall Street's Great Expectations for Christmas 2013”. The Apple Phone 5C, despite being a rugged poly-carbonate version of the Apple iPhone 5, isn’t doing so well.


Still these are the smartphones for the Christmas. But are there Android Alternatives? The Apple iPhone 5S is coming to Jamaica by November 2013 as predicted in my blog article entitled “Apple iPhone 5S and 5C Shortages in the US may indicate that it's coming to Jamaica - How the Apple iPhone will be landing at LIME and ATL on Friday November 1st 2013” but it may not be priced for everyone.

Even unlocked the Apple iPhone is very pricey. So high quality lower priced alternatives may be on your mind right now, like Digicel’s DL600, now priced at JA$5900 with a Postpaid Data Plan as explained in my blog article entitled “Digicel officially launches DL600 smartphones on Friday October 18th 2013 and JA$100 2-Day Data Plans - Ours is the Fury as Digicel’s DL600 secures their Throne in this Game of Phones against LIME”.

If you’re one of those Jamaicans Googleing for alternative smartphones for the Apple iPhone as noted in my blog article entitled “Samsung Galaxy smartphones and Blackberrys are tops on Jamaican Searches according to Google Trends - Importation Guide to Selling smartphone to Jamaicans”, then the answer is “yes” there are!

So here’s a roundup of the Google Android smartphones that are solid competitors to the Apple iPhone 5S and Apple iPhone 5C:

1.      LG G2
2.      HTC One
3.      Samsung Galaxy S4
4.      Droid Maxx
5.      Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Here’s a Video Compilation comparing the various specs of these various smartphones to the Apple iPhone 5S, as the Apple iPhone 5C is really the Apple iPhone 5 in a plastic shell:

LG G2
 

HTC One

Samsung Galaxy S4

Droid Maxx

Samsung Galaxy Note 3
