Verdict

It is hard to judge the performance based from specifications especially not from the same operating system. For example, Nokia Lumia 920 comes with 2000mAh battery but the stand-by time last for 16.7 days compare to Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that comes with 3000mAh that last for 8 days and iPhone 5 last for 9 days. However, the size of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the largest among all while the HTC J is the smallest among all. The 8.7-megapixel camera with PureView from Lumia 920 is the best of all camera. No doubt! And the Lumia 920 with highest resolution of all five devices with Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Xperia T/ TX not far behind. It is a shame that iPhone 5 comes with such a low resolution. iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lightest among all five smartphones while the Lumia 920 and Galaxy Note 2 heaviest. [Source]
