Round 4: Video and music quality

Do they pack a multimedia punch?

Apple iPhone

These handsets do a lot more than just make calls--they also have video and digital music players. We tell you which phone offers a better media experience.

Apple iPhone	5 The iPhone's multimedia performance sets bar for cell phones. The video is crisp, and music is as good as any iPod. That's enough to put it over the top, even without the rich Internet browsing experience.	4 Another tough round here, with no clear winner. On the one hand, the iPhone offers excellent multimedia performance. Songs had great audio quality, and videos looked pretty darn amazing with smooth playback. But I don't like that you have to sync the iPhone for library management.	5 Music quality on the iPhone is decent, but the thing that blows the Voyager out of the water is its video quality. Videos just look really great on the iPhone's wide screen.	14
LG Voyager	4 The Voyager's music quality was respectable, but its streaming video quality was uneven and the Web browsing wasn't quite as fluid as that of its opponent. The V Cast Mobile TV quality was respectable, but ultimately it can't quite compete with the iPhone.	4 My reaction was the opposite with the LG Voyager. By that, I mean I was more impressed with the functionality than performance. I like that you can buy songs over the air. However, songs sounded hollow and lacked the richness that I experienced on the iPhone. Also, videos looked super-choppy.	4 Music and video quality are pretty good on the LG Voyager, but the streaming video quality isn't that great.	12
