Let's get this out of the way -- for all the attention paid to the Razr M's undeniably attractive design, which stuffs a maximal amount of screen real estate onto a comparatively small phone, the iPhone 5 takes both it and the GS III Mini to school. The Apple device's screen resolution of 1136x640 blows away those of the Android phones, translating into a far higher pixel density, despite the relative parity of screen size. (For the record, the Galaxy S III Mini and iPhone 5 both have 4-inch screens, while the Razr M's display is 4.3 inches.)

Advantage: iPhone 5 (pictured)

HARDWARE

Our contestants are a lot more evenly matched in this category -- while the GS III Mini still loses out thanks to an anemic 1GHz dual-core processor, the Razr M actually tops the iPhone 5 on processor speed, boasting a 1.5GHz unit compared to the iPhone 5's 1.2GHz. Although the iPhone 5's impressive graphics capabilities outshine those of both Android devices, this one's probably a tie between the iPhone and the Razr M. RAM and storage were comparable, given the Androids' expandability via SD card slots.

Advantage: Razr M/iPhone 5
