We are just one week away from Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 5 event. iPhone 5 that is expected to feature a new design and monstrous specs will have plenty of competitors waiting to stop it from becoming the number one smartphone in the market. Here in this post we will take a look at top five smartphones currently available in the market, that iPhone 5 will have to compete with in order to become the leading smartphone of the world. Unsurprisingly the phones I am going to add in the top 5 list are from Samsung, Nokia, and HTC. These smartphones are powered by main iOS rivals Android and Windows Phone platforms. Not only these but iPhone 5 will also have to compete with many devices that will be announced in the coming weeks. Today Nokia has already announced it’s Windows Phone 8 devices.
