Uhm? iPhone 5 has one of the best screens ever made, did other surpass it so quick?

If you look at the fact sheet[1] you will see the iPhone 5 has a 4inch display with 326 PPI (pixels per inch) whereas the HTC One (IMO the best Android phone right now) has a 4.7inch display with 468 PPI. The HTC One display is LARGER and has a much higher pixel density!

Yes. See any of the new generation of android phones.

Yes. I can't avoid not to, in SE Asia.

They range from subpar to just slightly inferior to the iPhone.

Except if you mean screen real estate (with some 5 inch plus screens). In which case I wouldn't call that better, just more.

The new halo phones from HTC (One) and Samsung (S4) have twice the resolution of the iPhone5.
